Microdosing beginners Journey

I was curious. No doubt, no fear, just genuinely curious whether microdosing could do something for me. I run a digital agency, and my days consist of developing concepts, meeting with clients, managing a team, and coding. Focus and creativity are my most valuable resources. When I’m in flow, I can move mountains. But lately, that flow had become harder to find. Too many distractions, too much work, too much procrastination, too many screens. I already combine my workdays with intermittent fasting and try to be intentional about managing my energy, but I felt there was more potential to unlock. When I read about Fungki, the structured approach immediately appealed to me. Not just loose truffles, but a protocol. A plan that fits the way I approach life and integrates naturally with my workweek. I ordered the Beginner Protocol and decided to simply give it a try.

Week 1

The first few days were mostly about figuring things out. How does this work for me? When should I take it? What should I eat beforehand? The first two times, I took it after breakfast and everything felt great. The third time, I thought, “Let’s try it before breakfast.” That felt noticeably stronger. Not unpleasant, but my stomach was more unsettled and I felt slightly more restless. Lesson learned: for me, it works much better on a full stomach. Because I practice intermittent fasting, I quickly found my rhythm. Around 1:00 PM, after my first meal of the day, I would take my dose and continue working. I was worried it might affect my sleep, but that never happened. The effect was noticeable almost immediately: focus. Not the kind of focus where you force yourself to concentrate, but the kind where you naturally sink into your work. I was working on a concept for a client and completely lost track of time. I didn’t pick up my phone. I didn’t check Instagram. I was simply immersed in what I was doing. For someone whose entire career revolves around creative work, that feeling of effortless concentration is priceless. One thing I did notice was that I felt less motivated to exercise. Looking back, I think that was because I kept working for too long. When you’re in such a good flow state, it’s difficult to stop. After this first week, however, I never experienced that issue again.

Week 2

Normally, I check my phone throughout the day. A quick scroll. A quick look. Not because there’s anything important to see, but simply out of habit. That urge disappeared. I simply wasn’t looking for distractions anymore. Then there were the tasks I usually dread. You know the type: complicated, unclear, or just plain boring. Normally, I procrastinate. I do something easier first and eventually come back to it later. But that resistance? It wasn’t there anymore. I would simply sit down and do it. No procrastination. One thing I did find challenging was remembering which days I was supposed to take my microdose. The schedule didn’t come naturally to me. Until I added it to my calendar. Simple, but it made a world of difference.

From that moment on, I never had to think about it again.

Week 3

Now that the rhythm was established, I started noticing how broad the effects really were. It wasn’t just about focus at work. It carried over into everything. I became more proactive. The household tasks that normally waited until the weekend? Done during the week. That email I’d been meaning to send for three days? Sent. That phone call I kept postponing? Made. My procrastination dropped to almost zero. Not because I forced myself, but because the barrier to getting started felt lower. As if someone had removed the resistance from my mind. I felt active, engaged, and present. At work, but also at home. It’s a subtle difference, but once you notice it, it’s significant.

Week 4

This week, I noticed something I hadn’t expected. It wasn’t about work or productivity. It was about my relationship. My partner and I have been together for years and have a great relationship, but you know how life works. Sometimes you’re functioning next to each other instead of with each other. Routines take over. This week felt different. We felt more connected. More like a team. There was more laughter, more attention, more of those small moments that actually matter. I can’t say with certainty that this was because of Fungki. But I do think it has something to do with how I feel. When I’m calmer, more present, and less stuck in my head, I’m also a better partner. It’s really that simple. In short, I felt great.

Week 5

I started looking forward to my Fungki days. Not from a sense of dependency, but from enthusiasm. I wanted to use it on the days that mattered most. The days where I could make a real difference. I asked the Fungki team whether I could switch to an every-other-day schedule while keeping weekends free. They said yes, so I moved to a modified Advanced Protocol. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday became my microdosing days. My workweek became my Fungki week. Intentional. Structured. Exactly how the protocol was designed. It felt like an upgrade. Not more microdosing, but a smarter system tailored to my goals.

Week 6–9

As the weeks progressed, the rhythm became second nature. I felt consistently good. At work, at home, and in conversations with clients. The focus remained one of the biggest benefits. I could get into work faster, stay engaged longer, and become less distracted. By Week 8, I noticed something interesting: The changes weren’t limited to my dosing days anymore. My way of working had changed. Less reactive. More proactive. Less scrolling. More doing. Less procrastination. More action. Even my team noticed. People told me I seemed calmer, that I listened better, and that I brought a positive energy to the room.

By Week 9, microdosing felt completely natural. There were no side effects, no dependency, and nothing that felt artificial. After completing the protocol and taking a rest week, it felt as though I had trained my brain. Like the previous nine weeks hadn’t just been a protocol, but a form of mental periodization.

My conclusion

I started Fungki out of curiosity. Nine weeks later, I can honestly say it changed something. Not dramatically. No hallucinations. No life-changing revelations. But I became more focused, more creative, more proactive, and more present. At work, in my relationship, and in everyday life. As an entrepreneur, my mind is my most valuable asset. Fungki helped me tune that instrument. Not by adding something new, but by removing the noise.

My next step? The Advanced Protocol. I’m curious to discover what else is possible.
