Pre-Trip and Post-Trip Nutrition Tips for Magic Mushroom Users

You've decided to journey with psilocybin mushrooms; whether it's your first time or your tenth, one question that doesn't get asked enough is: What should you eat before and after your trip? The answer can make a big difference. While there is no one "right" way to prepare, there are some proven guidelines that can help you feel more grounded, reduce nausea, and maximize your experience, both during and after.

Pre-Trip

1. Keep It Light

About 3–4 hours before your journey, aim for a light and clean meal. Something easy to digest like oatmeal with banana or berries, a smoothie with greens, fruits, and plant-based protein, or brown rice with steamed veggies. Why light? Heavy or greasy meals can cause nausea, and let’s be honest. No one wants to battle a cheeseburger in their stomach while diving deep into their subconscious.

2. Hydrate

Dehydration can sneak up on you. Drink plenty of water during the day leading up to your trip, but avoid chugging large amounts right before. You don’t want to be going to the bathroom every ten minutes when you're trying to ground yourself in the moment.

3. Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol

Caffeine can spike anxiety. Alcohol numbs and dulls. Neither pairs well with psilocybin’s emotional and sensory clarity. Start your day with herbal tea or lemon water instead. If you’re prone to nausea, ginger tea or candied ginger can help settle things. Sipping water with a splash of lemon can also be refreshing and soothing during the come-up.

Post-Trip

Coming out of a mushroom journey, you might feel emotionally raw, deeply connected, hungry (or not at all). This step is the integration phase, and your body will thank you for gentle, grounding foods.

1. Warm, Comforting Meals

You might crave something nurturing and simple:

• Soup or broth-based meals

• Steamed rice with miso and tofu

• Mashed sweet potatoes with greens

• Toast with avocado and olive oil

These foods help ease you back into your body, especially if you feel spacey or sensitive.

2. Stay Hydrated

Replenish with water, herbal teas, or coconut water. Electrolyte drinks are also helpful if you’ve cried a lot or had an intense release (it happens!).

3. Mindful Eating

Many people find that food tastes incredible after a trip. If that’s the case, slow down and savor. Eating with intention can help anchor insights from your journey and extend the clarity you gained. Sometimes the most profound spiritual experiences are supported by the simplest choices — like soup, water, and quiet reflection.
