What to Eat Days or Weeks Before Your Trip
Think of the days and weeks before your psilocybin trip as your body’s tune-up time. It’s kind of like cleaning house before the big event. Some cultures do a preparatory dieta–simple grains and veggies before taking psychedelics. Other traditions, it should be noted, don’t have any pre-trip dietary restrictions. Starting about two weeks out, we suggest eating real food: power-packed foods like fruits, veggies, lean proteins, and whole grains. Eat less meat. Drink more water.
The Basics: Clean, Light, Healthy
| When to Eat | Dietary Emphasis |
| Weeks Leading Up to the Journey | Whole Foods, Hydration, Mindful Eating |
| During the Journey | Fruits |
| Post-Journey | Hydration, Fruits, Easily Digestible Proteins, Comforting Foods |
Munching Mid-Journey on Your Psilocybin Trip
One of the cool things about a psilocybin trip is the sensory boost it gives you. Eating can become this amazing exploration of flavors, textures, and smells.
If you’re not too deep in hyperspace or processing trauma from the womb, you might want to start nibbling a couple of hours in. By then, any nausea should have chilled out.
Fruits can be your best friends here. They’re easy on the stomach and offer a refreshing burst of natural sweetness and hydration.
After the Psilocybin Trip
Refueling afterward with nourishing foods and fluids helps you integrate the experience and step back into the daily dance of life with renewed energy. Go for nutrient-packed foods that are easy on your stomach.
| Nutrition Type | Examples |
| Hydration | Water, Herbal Tea, Coconut Water |
| Fruits | Berries, Bananas, Oranges |
| Easily Digestible Proteins | Chicken, Turkey, Tofu, Beans, Lentils, Tempeh |
| Comforting Foods | Soups, Stews, Porridges |
The ‘Just Say No’ List
Before during, and after your trip, there are some food and drink you might want to skip:
| Food Type | Potential Impact |
| Heavy, Greasy Foods | Digestive discomfort |
| Processed Foods | Blood sugar spikes, mood swings |
| Excessive Caffeine | Overstimulation, heightened anxiety |
| Alcohol | Dehydration, amplified negative emotions |
| Dairy Products | Possible heightened lactose sensitivity |
A Symphony of Taste
Think of your body as the stage for a symphony between psychedelics and the food you eat. When in harmony, the outcome is balance and wellness.
To conduct this psychedelic symphony, listen to your body’s needs and desires. Your body’s the maestro. Listen to it and you’ll always stay in tune.
