My Fungki journal

I was curious. No doubt, no fear — just genuinely wondering whether microdosing could mean something for me.
I run a digital agency, and my days are filled with coming up with concepts, having client conversations, managing a team, and coding. Focus and creativity are my most important resources. When I’m in flow, I can move mountains. But lately, that flow hasn’t been coming as naturally. Too much distraction, too much work, too much procrastination, too many screens.

I already combine my workdays with intermittent fasting and try to be intentional with my energy, but I felt like there was more potential to unlock.
When I read about Fungki, the structured approach really appealed to me. Not loose truffles, but a protocol. A plan that fits the way I live my life, aligned with my workweek. I ordered the Beginner Protocol and decided to just start.

Week 1

The first few days are mainly about figuring things out. How does this work for me? When do I take it? What do I eat with it? The first two times, I took it after breakfast, and that worked well. The third time, I thought: let me try it before breakfast. That immediately felt more intense. Not unpleasant, but my stomach felt more unsettled and it was a bit more restless. Lesson learned: for me, it works 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 took my dose. And then I just continued working. I was a bit worried it might affect my sleep, but I didn’t experience that at all.

The effect was noticeable almost immediately: focus. Not the kind of focus where you force yourself to concentrate, but the kind you sink into. I was working on a concept for a client and completely lost track of time. No checking my phone, no quick scroll through Instagram. Just fully in it. For someone doing creative work all day, that feeling of effortless deep focus is invaluable.

I did notice I felt less motivated to work out. Looking back, I think that was because I kept working for too long. When you’re in that kind of flow, it’s hard to stop. After this week, though, I didn’t experience that issue anymore.

Week 2

Normally, I tend to pick up my phone more often in between tasks. A quick scroll, checking if there’s anything new. Not because there’s actually something to see, but out of habit. That urge was gone. I simply wasn’t looking for distraction anymore.

And then there are those tasks I usually resist. You know the ones: something complex, unclear, or just not enjoyable. Normally, I procrastinate. I do something else first, something easier, and eventually I get to it. But that resistance? It wasn’t there anymore. I just sat down and did it, without delay.
One thing I did find challenging was remembering on which days I needed to take the microdosing truffles. The schedule didn’t automatically stick in my head—until I put it in my calendar. Simple, but it made a world of difference. From that moment on, I didn’t have to think about it anymore.

Week 3

Now that the rhythm is in place, I’m really starting to notice how broad the effects are. It’s not just about focus during work — it carries through into everything. I’m more proactive. The household tasks that normally pile up until the weekend? Done in between. That email I’d been meaning to send for three days? Sent. That phone call I kept postponing? Made.

Procrastination really dropped to a minimum. Not because I was forcing myself, but because the threshold to start was simply lower. As if someone had removed the resistance from my mind. I felt active, engaged, and present — in my work, but also at home. It’s a subtle shift, but once you notice it, it’s significant.

Week 4

This week, I noticed something I didn’t expect. It wasn’t about work or productivity — it was about my relationship. My partner and I have been solid for years, but you know how it goes: life gets in the way. You start functioning next to each other instead of with each other. Routines take over. This week felt different. We were more connected. More of a team. There was more fun, more attention, more of those small moments that actually matter. I can’t say for certain that this is because of Fungki. But I do think it’s connected to how I feel overall. When I’m calmer, more present, less stuck in my head, I naturally show up as a better partner. It’s really that simple. All in all, I feel really good in my own skin.

Week 5

I started looking forward to the days I took Fungki. Not out of any kind of dependency, but out of enthusiasm. I wanted to use it on the days that really matter — the days where I can make a difference. I asked Fungki for advice on switching to an every-other-day schedule, keeping the weekends free. That was possible, so I moved on to the adjusted Advanced protocol. I took my microdose on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. My workweek became my Fungki week — intentional and structured, exactly as the protocol is designed. It felt like an upgrade. No longer just microdosing with Fungki, but tuning it more intelligently to fit my needs.

Week 6

The rhythm is set. The effects are there. And honestly, this is the week where I thought for the first time: this is simply how I want to function. I feel good across the board — at the office, at home, in conversations with clients. I genuinely can’t remember the last time in recent weeks that I felt irritated or didn’t feel like doing something. Just consistently good.

And then there’s the focus. That still surprises me. It’s subtle, but so valuable. You get into your work faster, stay in it longer, and get distracted less easily. As an entrepreneur, that’s the difference between an average presentation and one you actually look back on at the end of the day.

Week 7

This week, I had two pitches on the same day. Normally, I would already feel stressed the evening before. This time, I didn’t. I had prepared, felt sharp, and went into them with a sense of calm confidence. Both pitches went well. Is that because of Fungki? I think so — or at least because of how Fungki makes me feel overall. Creatively, I also notice a difference. Ideas come more easily and feel stronger. It’s as if the noise is gone and I can get to the core much faster.

Week 8

I’m starting to realize that the changes are no longer limited to the days I take Fungki. It carries over. My way of working has structurally changed. Less reactive, more proactive. Less scrolling, more doing. Less procrastination, more action. My team notices it too. Not that I talk about it at the office, but I hear more often that I come across as calm. That I listen well. That there’s a positive energy. Funny how that works — when you change, everything around you starts to shift with you.

Week 9

The final week of the Beginner Protocol. Microdosing truffles now feels familiar — almost second nature. It’s simply part of how I structure my weeks. What also stands out: no side effects. Nine weeks in, and nothing unusual. No strange sensations, no dependency, nothing chemical. It’s easy to take and not unpleasant at all. So simple that sometimes you wonder if it’s even working — until you look back and realize how much has actually changed.

Rest week

After nine weeks, I’m now in my first week off. It feels like my mind has been trained. As if the past nine weeks weren’t just a protocol, but a kind of mental periodization. My brain simply works better than before.

My conclusion

I started Fungki out of curiosity. Nine weeks and a rest week later, I can say: this has genuinely changed something. Not in a dramatic way. No hallucinations, no life-altering revelations. But I’m more focused, more creative, more proactive, and more present — in my work, in my relationship, in everything.

As an entrepreneur, my mind is my most important tool. Fungki has fine-tuned that tool. Not by adding something, but by removing the noise.

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

For anyone who’s still unsure: just start. Begin with the Beginner Protocol, find your rhythm, put it in your calendar, and give it a few weeks. The effects are subtle, but they build over time. And before you know it, you’ll look back and think: this was what I’d been missing all along.

And if you tend to struggle with a winter dip — I’ll definitely be exploring whether this could help me with that starting in October.
