Preparation & integration

A quiet companion for the work.

For people doing intentional work with plant medicine, MDMA-assisted therapy, or a considered microdosing protocol, Stack Almanac holds your stack, your medications, and the interactions worth a second look, before and after.

You take the work seriously enough to prepare for it properly. Whether that means ayahuasca in a ceremonial setting, psilocybin, MDMA-assisted therapy, or a careful microdosing protocol, you already know that what you take in the weeks beforehand matters as much as the day itself.

Most supplement trackers were not built with any of this in mind. They do not know what an MAOI is, why lithium is a hard stop before certain medicines, or why an SSRI needs a proper washout before you sit with the medicine. You have likely been holding that knowledge yourself, cross-checking forums and asking your facilitator the same questions each time.

Stack Almanac was built to take some of that weight off. It knows your full stack, including any prescriptions, and it names the combinations that carry real risk: serotonergic supplements alongside an SSRI, tyramine-sensitive foods and supplements with an MAOI, anything worth raising with your prescriber well before you commit to a date.

A note on what this is: Stack Almanac is a reference tool, not medical advice, and it does not replace the guidance of your facilitator, doctor, or psychiatrist. It supports the preparation and the integration. The decisions around the work itself stay with you and the people holding it with you.

The challenges

01

The washout window is easy to get wrong

Ayahuasca, MDMA-assisted therapy, and other work often calls for a strict window off SSRIs, MAOIs, or serotonergic supplements beforehand. Knowing the timing, and which of your daily supplements even count, is not something most people hold cleanly in their head.

02

Supplement interactions are a genuine safety issue

5-HTP, St John's Wort, and other common supplements can interact with the medicine or with a prescription in ways that matter, sometimes seriously. Most wellness apps have no idea these interactions exist at all.

03

Integration gets lost in the noise

The weeks after ceremony matter as much as the weeks before it. Without a record of what you were taking to support your nervous system, it is hard to see afterward what actually helped.

04

Most wellness tech does not take the work seriously

Generic trackers treat this like any other health trend: chirpy streaks, notifications, language that reduces the work to a lifestyle upgrade. You want something quieter and more precise than that.

How Stack Almanac helps

Interactions named, not softened

The interactions database labels risk by severity rather than a single generic warning. MAOIs, SSRIs, lithium, tramadol: named directly, because vague caution is not much use when the timing actually matters.

An advisor that knows your whole stack

The Almanac Advisor sees everything you are taking, including any prescriptions, and flags what is worth raising with your prescriber or facilitator before a date is set. It does not replace their judgement. It gives you the right questions to bring to them.

A bio profile that holds the detail

Add your medications and health history once, and Stack Almanac carries that context into every interaction check from then on, so you are not re-explaining an SSRI taper to a new tool every time.

Preparation and integration, tracked side by side

Log what you are taking through preparation, then keep the same record going through integration: adaptogens, magnesium, B vitamins, whatever is supporting your nervous system as it settles.

No daily ritual required

Stack Almanac tracks by exception. Log when you start, stop, or change something, and the record stays current without asking for a check-in every day.
