Founder and Microdosing Coach

My name is Donald Gauvreau and I’ve been an educator, researcher and product formulator in the natural health products industry for over 25 years now. Prior to this, I worked as a Kinesiologist and Corporate Fitness Consultant. I also have an extensive background in strength and conditioning training and have coached athletes in a wide variety of sports.

My academic background includes a degree in Kinesiology and a Master’s of Science degree. My thesis research was focused on the effects of breakfast composition and intake on the cognitive function of school-aged children. I am also licensed by the Ontario College of Teachers.

I’ve founded a few different companies and brands in the natural health and sports nutrition space, including SD Pharmaceuticals® and PharmaFreak®, and during this time I spent most of my efforts researching and developing fat loss and hormone-related products for both men and women. I sold my stake in PharmaFreak and SD Pharmaceuticals in 2019 so I could focus all my time and energy on developing innovative holistic solutions, with a focus on mental health, cognitive function and pain relief.

I am the founder of Conscious Mind Clinic – a holistic healthcare clinic with a focus on mental health, somatic therapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy. Our mission is to change the current landscape of healthcare, and help people heal, grow and thrive in meaningful ways.

Over the past 6 years, I have been studying a variety of different plants and fungi (mushrooms) and how they can be effectively used in a microdosing format. I’ve formulated a variety of different microdosing products and have personally used them to optimize my own performance, cognitive function and overall health and wellbeing.

I am extremely passionate about alternative medicine, natural health solutions, nutrition, fitness and living a holistic lifestyle to achieve peak performance and optimal health and wellbeing. I love sharing my knowledge, experience and wisdom to help people improve their health and wellbeing.
