This could be the most important podcast we've recorded thus far. This week we bring on Josh Halu CEO and co-founder of The Psychedelic Exchange. Josh and his team work tirelessly to connect veterans with treatment for mental illness. However, this team explores natural medicinal treatments such as Psilocybin, MDMA, and Ketamine. These new treatment modalities are showing some extremely promising research results, and are being hailed as insanely successful in saving the lives of veterans in crisis. This episode is packed full of Josh's personal stories, and us picking apart some of the taboo around these treatments. These conversations are how we move the needle forward and help more people.
