You've read everything about microdosing. Now it's time to cultivate the wisdom to use it.
Six weeks, one on one, with a former CNN producer who spent twenty five years building a life that looked right from the outside and did not feel like his own. A careful, personally guided protocol, not a forum thread and a guess.
Book a Free 20-Minute Clarity Call20 minutes, no pitch. A real conversation about where you are and whether this fits.
Maybe you built the career and checked every box on the list. Maybe the last decade did not go the way you planned, a job ended, a marriage changed, the kids grew up and left a kind of quiet you were not ready for. There is no single story that gets you here. Past 50, most people share the same low hum underneath their days: something feels foggy, distant, unfinished.
And still, something in you stays quiet in a way you have not found the words for, not with the people closest to you, not with your doctor, not with the guy next to you at the gym.
You read the free guide. You found genuine relief in the course. You understand more about microdosing than most people ever will.
But understanding the tool is not the same as doing the work the tool was pointing you toward. The fog lifts for an afternoon and the same patterns, the same distance, the same low hum of "is this the whole story" are waiting when you wake up.
Microdosing was never the destination. The practice was the door.
The Free Guide
Honest, plain language education on what microdosing is and is not, built for someone starting after 50.
The Course
Foundations, protocol, and community. You learned to build a responsible practice on your own.
Work With Cesar
Six weeks of direct, one on one work on the patterns and habits the practice alone will not move for you.
How does a TV producer end up guiding people through microdosing? Here is the honest version.
For 25 years at CNN, my job was to chase the truth, check the source, and refuse to put something on air I could not back up. When I started asking the same questions about my own life, I held myself to the same standard. I am not someone who tried psychedelics once and declared myself a guide. This has been three years of documented practice, real mistakes, and course correction, not a weekend awakening.
I was laid off at fifty five, no warning, no soft landing. That ending forced me to answer a question I had never let myself sit with: who am I without the title. My exploration of microdosing started there, as a personal search for clarity, not a business plan.
Your story does not need to look like mine. Some people who come to this program built a career like I did. Others are navigating retirement, an empty house, a health scare, or a stretch of life they cannot quite name. What matters is not what the last decade held. What matters is whether you are over 50 and ready to do the work now.
I am not a therapist and I am not a doctor, only a journalist by training and a father who has done this work himself. My job in this program is to be the bridge between what you are curious about and honest, grounded guidance, not hype and not fear.

- Founder, Cultivating Wisdom and Microdosing Over 50
- Three years of personal, documented microdosing practice

Six weeks. One on one. Built around your actual life, not a generic curriculum.
This is a coaching container, not a lecture series. Every session starts with what is true for you that week.
1. Weekly one on one coaching
Six live sessions with Cesar, focused on the patterns keeping you stuck, not on the substance itself.
2. Direct WhatsApp support
A line to Cesar between sessions for the week something needs to be talked through before the next call.
3. Full course access included
The Cognitive Enhancement mini-course, included at no added cost if you have not already gone through the material.
4. Digital journal and workbook
A structured place to track intentions, patterns, and the changes you are making outside of any session.
5. Personal safety protocols
A private review of your practice, your health context, and how to build a routine that fits your life responsibly.
6. The private community
Access to the Facebook group, where you are one voice among people over 50 doing this same work.
7. Preferred access to trusted partners
Member pricing and priority access with the wellness companies Cesar has personally vetted and worked with. (Note: add specific partner brand names here.)
This program is not for everyone who is curious. The work here is for someone ready to begin.
This is open to anyone over 50, whatever your last decade looked like. Career, no career, a big reinvention, a quiet stretch you cannot explain. The one requirement is that you're ready to do the work.
This is a fit if
- You are over 50 and have some foundation in microdosing already, from the free guide, the course, or your own research.
- You feel foggy, disconnected, or unsure what comes next, whatever the last decade held for you.
- You want direct, personal guidance, not another self paced module.
- You are ready to look honestly at the habits and patterns keeping you where you are.
This is not a fit if
- You are in an acute mental health crisis. This program is not a substitute for clinical care.
- You want someone to hand you a dose and a schedule with no work on your part.
- You have not read anything about microdosing yet and want to start there first.
- You are looking for a guarantee rather than a process.
You deserve honest information, not marketing dressed up as science.
Mood and mental health
In a 2022 study of over 950 self reported microdosers, people who microdosed showed small to medium improvements in mood and mental health after one month, compared to non-microdosing peers, including improvements in psychomotor performance specific to adults over 55.
Rootman et al., Scientific Reports, 2022. Naturalistic, self reported data, not a clinical trial.
Focus and mood in aging adults
A 2024 analysis of survey data from over 2,500 adults ages 42 to 92 found psychedelic use was associated with better executive function and fewer depressive symptoms, after accounting for age and health factors.
Fearn & Bhattacharyya, Gerontology and Geriatric Medicine, 2024. Correlational survey data, covers psychedelics broadly, not psilocybin microdosing specifically.
These are early, observational findings, not clinical proof and not a promise about your results. Long term safety data on regular microdosing is still incomplete. This program is educational and coaching support, not therapy, not medical treatment, and not a substitute for talking with your doctor, especially if you take medication or manage a health condition.
Frequently asked questions
Is this therapy?
No. I am not a licensed therapist and this program is not a substitute for mental health treatment. This is coaching, focused on awareness, habits, and the practical work of building a life that feels like yours. If you are working with a therapist, this program sits alongside that work well. If you are in crisis, this is not the right place to start. Please reach out to a licensed provider first.
Do you tell me what to take or point me toward a supplier?
No. I share my own experience and what has worked in my own practice. I do not provide dosing instructions or sourcing guidance on this page or in our sessions, and the legal status of the substances people microdose with varies by state and country. Part of our work together is helping you build a practice that fits your own situation and your own local law.
I already finished the course. Do I still need this?
The course teaches the foundation. This program is where that foundation turns into a change you feel in your relationships and your week to week life. Most people who reach out for this step have already done the reading and the course, and still feel the gap between understanding the tool and living differently because of what they learned.
What if I have never microdosed at all?
This program works best alongside an existing foundation. If you are brand new, start with the free guide and the course first. Your application will ask where you are today, and I will tell you honestly if this is the right next step for you right now.
What does a week look like, day to day?
One live one on one session with me, a short assignment in your workbook, and WhatsApp access if something comes up between sessions. Most people spend 60 to 90 minutes a week on the program outside of the session itself.
Why is this by application instead of instant checkout?
This is direct, one on one work with me, and I keep the number of people I work with limited on purpose so every session gets my full attention. The application takes a few minutes and lets me understand where you are before we start.
Six weeks, one on one, everything above included. One payment, no upsells during the program.
- 6 live 1:1 coaching sessions with Cesar
- Direct WhatsApp access between sessions
- Full course access included
- Digital journal and workbook
- Private Facebook community
- Personal safety protocol review
Six weeks from now, you could be one microdose away from breaking the pattern for good.
