Nearly 1 in 10 Americans suffer from depression and 1 in 5 young adults.

And the go-to treatment for these mental struggles is prescribing antidepressants and mood stabilizers – which is seeing a dispensing rate increase of 66% between 2016 and 2022Nearly 1 in 10 Americans suffer from depression and 1 in 5 young adults…

These numbers have been on the rise for the last few decades with no signs of slowing.

WHY are we struggling more mentally now than ever before? What has changed?

And is taking antidepressant medication really the answer?

What if there was a better way to support our mental health and inner healing journey that DIDN’T involve taking a drug for the rest of our lives?

I can’t wait for todays’ conversation and real life story with our guest Gabrielle Bachand who is sharing her journey getting off antidepressants using microdosing along with other healing tools.

Before we get into this episode please note this is not medical advice and anyone considering tapering off antidepressants should speak to their health care providers to make a plan that works for them. 

Who is Gabrielle?

Gabrielle Bachand is a passionate advocate for holistic wellness, the healing potential of psychedelics and the wisdom of the body. Having personally come off of antidepressants at age 24, microdosing acted as a powerful tool among many which led to the last 3.5 years offering microdosing guidance in Canada’s first-ever storefront dispensary. In parallel, Gabrielle discovered the profound impact of altered states of consciousness through breathwork, meditation and psychedelics. Her personal journey has led to her significant shifts in perspective, career, relationships and authenticity. Her path has given rise to her certification as breathwork facilitator, psychedelic guide and ceremonialist. 

Gabrielle is lit up by empowering individuals to connect with their inner healer through their relationship with the body’s wisdom. She believes in the power of implementing small, incremental changes that lead to profound shifts in personal-development and well-being. Gabrielle’s work is a testament to the transformative potential of integrating mind, body, and spiritual practices.
