Why San Pedro Microdosing? My Protocol for Nervous System Resilience And Embodied Transformation
Why San Pedro Microdosing? My Protocol for Nervous System Resilience
And Embodied Transformation
Most microdosing protocols focus on dosage, neurology, and mental health – largely geared toward the general population. The Fadiman Protocol and the Stamets Stack helped set this worthwhile precedent by recommending standardized regimens for LSD and psilocybin.
Instead, my protocol is designed specifically for practitioners who wish to help clients with nervous system regulation. It weaves together a flexible framework with the unique intelligence of San Pedro (also called Huachuma), a heart-opening, grounding medicine used ceremonially by the Andean peoples for centuries, if not millenia.

It weaves together a flexible framework with the unique intelligence of San Pedro (also called Huachuma), a heart-opening, grounding medicine used ceremonially by the Andean peoples for centuries, if not millenia.
This is the first microdosing protocol of its kind:
Not just psilocybin or LSD. My protocol uses San Pedro: a gentle ally known for its anti-inflammatory properties and powerful ability to promote neuroplasticity.
Built for regulation,
not stimulation.
Ideal for clients struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, or overwhelm who need calm over intensity.
No one-size-fits-all schedules.
You’ll learn to calibrate dosing, rhythm, and support to meet each client’s nervous system capacity.
More than the microdose. Somatic practices — breathwork, cold exposure, and body-based integration — are built in from the ground up for deep, embodied transformation that lasts.
Designed for practitioners. With its complex nature, this protocol is ideal for use by practitioners who are regulated and ready to help clients practice nervous system mastery.
My protocol – the only one combining San Pedro with intentional and precise somatic practices – offer
a grounded, integrative path to long-term change for you and your clients.

The Microdosing Movement Is Accelerating, Creating Unprecedented Demand for Skilled Practitioners
Microdosing has rapidly evolved from a fringe practice into a widely-recognized tool for wellness and personal development. As more people discover its benefits for focus, creativity, emotional regulation, and personal growth, they’re actively seeking qualified practitioners who can guide them safely and effectively.
The Numbers Tell a Clear Story:
Public interest continues to surge: Over 3 million Google searches for microdosing in 2023 alone, a staggering 1,250% increase since 2015*
The wellness market is rapidly evolving: The global psychedelic sector is projected to reach $8.3 billion by 2032, growing at over 13% annually**
Microdosing is going mainstream: In 2023, 8 million U.S. adults used psilocybin — and 47% reported microdosing during their most recent experience.***
This growing imbalance between demand and qualified practitioners creates a significant opportunity for those who position themselves with credible training and proven protocols.
By becoming a certified microdosing practitioner, you’re not just learning a skill set. You are preparing to meet a genuine need in the marketplace while making a profoundly positive impact on your clients’ lives.

What Others Are Saying
The Third Wave’s vision is a new and non-medical, non-spiritual way to make evident the benefits of safe and effective psychedelic use to the public in general. I am impressed with its integrity, inventiveness and value.
- James Fadiman
author of The Psychedelic Explorer’s Guide and co-author (with Jordan Gruber) of Your Symphony of Selves
Paul’s mission to normalize psychedelic substances through the lens of microdosing speaks to the growing relevance of these emerging technologies. In building The Third Wave, Paul has created an excellent platform for individuals who want to deepen their understanding of the role psychedelics play in optimal well-being.
— Jason Silva
Emmy-nominated TV host of National Geographic’s Brain Games and ORIGINS: The Journey of Humankind, filmmaker and public speaker
Paul does a great job of deconstructing and synthesizing tricky subject matter—the stuff that would otherwise be out of reach for most. His presentation is stellar and he holds space on stage like a real pro.
— Steven Kotler
New York Times-bestselling author, award-winning journalist and founder of the Flow Research Collective
I’m a huge fan of Third Wave for their role in educating the masses on topics that most doctors aren’t allowed to speak about. It fills in a lot of the educational gaps regulations place on physicians and psychologists when it comes to discussing psychedelics.
— Molly Maloof
M.D., American author, journalist, entrepreneur
Paul and Third Wave sit at a crucial crossroads where all that is – and all that will be – important intersects. Mental health, purpose, leadership, yes, even the future of humanity. It’s a comfort that such an informed, curious person occupies that spot, exploring, illuminating and asking the right questions and connecting the best people to shape our society as we march into this brave new world.
— Scott Omelianuk
Editor-in-Chief at Inc. Magazine
Third Wave offers a wonderful interactive training experience for those looking to become stronger in psychedelic-assisted therapy to learn critically important skills to become more effective facilitators. As any good clinician knows, our therapeutic practice is a lifelong journey and there will always be things that stump us along the way. These trainings help to provide community and useful tools for navigating the road ahead and becoming the best facilitators we can be.
— Dave Rabin
M.D., PH.D., neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist and health tech entrepreneur
As an ethnobotanist, I receive many questions about psychedelics and microdosing. I refer folks to Paul and his Third Wave Program as a go-to, reliable source of information.
— Mark J. Plotkin
Ph.D, renowned ethnobotanist, author and TED Talk speaker
Paul does an excellent job of bridging the gap between psychedelics and leadership transformation. His work with Third Wave speaks for itself: an inspiring mission grounded in science, knowledge, and personal experience.

Everything You Need to Know About the Certification
Everything You Need to Know About the Certification
Is This Program Right for Me?
Who is this certification designed for?
This program is for aspiring, emerging, and experienced practitioners who want to guide others through microdosing safely, ethically, and effectively. Whether you’re brand new or already working with clients, you’ll receive the training, structure, and tools to start offering microdosing guidance as a paid service with confidence.
I don’t have a coaching background. Will this work for me?
Absolutely! We’ve designed this program to be accessible for both experienced coaches and complete beginners. We start with foundational skills and provide plenty of guided practice opportunities. Many of our most successful graduates come from non-coaching backgrounds and bring valuable perspectives from their previous careers.
Do I need to have experience with microdosing to join?
Personal microdosing experience is highly encouraged — we believe in walking the walk before guiding others. That said, it’s not required to enroll. The program includes a guided 6-week microdosing journey so you can experience the protocol firsthand. If you’re unable to participate due to health or access reasons, reach out and we’ll explore possible alternatives.
How is this different from other microdosing trainings?
Three key differences set our certification apart:
- You’ll learn Paul F. Austin’s signature protocol that integrates nervous system regulation and somatic practices with microdosing
- We focus on practical application with extensive supervised practice
- You’ll graduate with a complete microdosing offer, ready to launch and serve clients
Enrollment & Pricing
What happens during the consultation call?
Your consultation with Joseph Anew, our Career Advisor and a PCI graduate, is a personalized conversation to explore whether the Microdosing Practitioner Certification aligns with your goals. He’ll ask about your background, answer questions, and offer honest feedback about whether this is the right program for you.
Is there an application fee?
Yes — there’s a one-time, non-refundable $249 application fee, which helps us ensure a thoughtful admissions process. If accepted, this fee is applied toward your tuition.
How selective is the application process?
This program is designed for motivated, values-aligned individuals who are ready to engage fully. We don’t require prior coaching experience, but we do look for a strong personal connection to the work, readiness to learn, and alignment with PCI’s ethical standards.
How much does the program cost?
Tuition starts at just $3,000. You’ll receive all program content, live training, client-ready materials, and access to over $2,500 in Founding Member bonuses. This is the only time we will offer this program at this price – future cohorts will cost upwards of $5,000.
Is the microdosing supply included?
No — microdosing supply is not included in your tuition. However, we’ll connect you with trusted, vetted sources so you can safely and responsibly access what you need for the 6-week microdosing experience. You should plan on an additional cost of anywhere from 100-200 USD to source the necessary microdoses for this training.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans. After your consultation and acceptance into the program, you’ll have financing options through Affirm or custom plans arranged with our team. Additional fees may apply for internal payment plans.
Do you offer scholarships or alumni discounts?
Yes — we offer partial scholarships on a limited basis for those with financial need, and all alumni of PCI programs receive an additional discount. Be sure to mention this during your consultation call!
What’s your refund policy?
You’re eligible for a full refund within 10 days of your Admissions Interview, before the program starts. Partial refunds may be available depending on how far out you are from the start date. Once the program begins, tuition is non-refundable and payment plans must be completed. You can review the full policy here.
Are there any Terms & Conditions I should know about before enrolling?
You can review our Terms & Conditions here. We outline all program terms, including payment structure, refund policy, deferral options, and participation expectations.
Schedule & Logistics
What’s the weekly time commitment?
The program is designed for busy professionals. Expect ~3–4 hours per week: 90 minutes for live sessions (recordings provided) and 1–2 hours for practice or assignments.
When are the live calls?
The weekly live calls will be held on Tuesdays at 4pm PT. Call times are subject to change. You’ll receive the full schedule before the program begins.
What if I can’t attend live?
All live sessions are recorded and made available for you to watch on your own time. Completing the material — live or recorded — is required for graduation.
How long do I have access to the course materials?
You’ll have access to all session recordings, resources, and downloads for at least 12 months after the program ends — plenty of time to revisit the material, refine your skills, and implement what you’ve learned.
Curriculum & Certification
What kind of practice will I get?
You’ll engage in live demos, peer practice sessions, and submit a recorded session for expert feedback. You’ll also complete a 6-week personal microdosing experience and submit written reflections along the way.
Is this a live or self-paced program?
This is a live training with scheduled sessions, interactive workshops, and peer practice — but recordings are provided for flexible access. It’s not self-paced; real-time participation is part of the experience.
What is the Paul F. Austin Protocol — and why does it matter?
It’s our signature framework for microdosing with nervous system awareness and somatic tools. It helps you guide others in a structured, safe, and deeply grounded way — setting you apart from more casual or theory-only approaches.
What’s required to graduate? Am I guaranteed certification?
As long as you meet the graduation requirements, you’ll earn your Microdosing Practitioner Certificate from the Psychedelic Coaching Institute. Certification is earned through full participation and demonstrated readiness. To graduate, you’ll need to complete all course content (live or recorded), submit and pass all required assignments, and uphold the PCI Code of Ethics.
What’s the next step after the Microdosing Practitioner Certification?
Graduates of this program are eligible for our Psychedelic Practitioner Certification — a comprehensive 10-month training that covers macrodosing facilitation and advanced integration techniques. This program serves as an excellent foundation and natural stepping stone into that deeper work.
Building Your Business
How will you help me grow my business?
You’ll get templates, pricing guidance, email scripts, and a full client experience toolkit to help you launch your microdosing offer with confidence.
What if I can’t find clients?
We’ll help you with that. Business development is built into the program — from niche clarity to lead generation to enrollment conversations.
Will I feel confident charging for this service by the end of the program?
Yes. Through real practice, expert feedback, and step-by-step launch tools, you’ll be ready to charge for your offer with clarity and integrity.
Do I need to have a website or business already?
Not at all. Many students join while still building the foundations of their practice. We’ll guide you through designing your first microdosing offer, even if you’re starting from scratch.
Will I be listed in your practitioner directory?
Students who complete all certification requirements may be eligible for inclusion in our Certified Practitioner Directory. This listing is optional and offered at our discretion based on readiness, integrity, and alignment with PCI’s values.
Legal, Safety & Ethics
Is microdosing legal?
Microdosing exists in a legal gray area and varies by region. We do not provide or distribute substances. Instead, we focus on education and harm reduction, supporting clients who choose to microdose on their own.
Can I legally offer microdosing support?
Yes — when done properly. You’ll learn how to work within your scope as a practitioner, offering preparation, integration, and protocol guidance without supplying or recommending illegal substances. We cover legal considerations and best practices so you can support clients ethically and responsibly.
Is there a Code of Ethics participants are expected to follow?
Yes — all participants agree to follow our Code of Ethics throughout the program. It ensures a professional, respectful learning environment and reflects our shared commitment to integrity and responsible practice.
