Paraphrasing Tim Ferris, “I don't know any billionaires who don't do psychedelics.” Why is this the case? What do they know that you don't?The field of psychedelics is undergoing a renaissance. It has been called the 5th wave of psychotherapy. The research results are impressive. The FDA has fast-tracked both MDMA and psilocybin as break through treatments. It is expected that MDMA will be legalized for therapeutic use with PTSD and trauma in 2024. And psilocybin (aka, magic mushrooms) will be legalized for therapeutic use in 2026. Why is there such a resurgence of interest in these compounds, some of which have been around for thousands of years in indigenous cultures (i.e., ayahuasca, psilocybin, ibogaine, peyote and more). Join Dr. John for a mesmerizing conversation with Matt Zemon, author & psychedelic evangelist. Topics Covered…• How might psychedelics help you to reclaim your true self? • Psychedelics as healing mental illness vs. expanding human potential• The myths and rumors around psychedelics • The bio-psycho-social-spiritual model of psychedelic medicine Microdosing Psychedelic medical treatments vs. ceremonies Can psychedelics be used instead of antidepressants?

Lisa is joined by Matt Zemon, the author of Psychedelics for Everyone: A Beginner's Guide to These Powerful Medicines for Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, PTSD, and Expanding Consciousness. Since 2019, Matt has evolved from someone who had never taken any drugs to doing a deep dive into the study of human consciousness with the help of psilocybin, ayahuasca, ketamine, LSD, MDMA, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and more.

He lives in Chapel Hill, NC. For more information: https://www.MattZemon.comAfter more than five decades of prohibition, the attitudes and laws around psychedelics are starting to shift as more people are beginning to see the benefits that they offer. In addition, recent studies show that there is new hope in the treatment of depression and anxiety that is more effective than antidepressants. Scientists are finding increasing evidence for the benefits of mind-altering drugs such as ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin mushrooms. In fact, brain-imaging studies have found that these psychedelic drugs help increase connectivity in the brain. “This is not just hippy-talk,” Matt Zemon, MSc, says. “We are seeing that major universities, government scientists, and big pharma are studying psychedelic drugs for mental health – with almost 100 clinical studies happening right now and more than 300 university psychedelic programs in place."After years of suffering from depression, Matt Zemon, MSc, experienced a guided psilocybin (magic mushroom) journey, and it completely changed his worldview. So transformational, he enrolled in a Master's of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College, London (which boasts cutting edge psychedelic research) and graduated with honors. He is now CEO and Co-Founder of HAPPŸY, a mental wellness company, specializing in psychedelic-assisted oral ketamine therapy along with digital therapeutics that promote transforming outcomes.

In today's episode, I'm speaking with Matt Zemon, psychedelic medicine expert, best-selling author, and CEO and co-founder of Happÿÿ, a mental wellness company that specializes in psychedelic-assisted ketamine therapy along with digital therapeutics that promote life-transforming outcomes. I learned so much in this interview with Matt. We talked about the benefits of therapeutic psychedelics, who could benefit from using them, and what micro-dosing is. We also talked about expanding human potential, which I really found intriguing. As Matt said, psychedelics aren't a cure; they are a catalyst to change. He shared some statistics that were pretty mind-blowing: in one study, 89% of individuals with depression and anxiety experienced an improvement after a ketamine protocol. There are other psychedelics that show promise in treatment for mental health disorders, though the only psychedelic that has been approved by the FDA for this specific use is esketamine, a nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression and acute suicidal thinking. Ketamine was approved as an anesthetic in 1970, but using it to address psychiatric conditions is considered “off-label,” so it can be accessed with a prescription from a medical provider. Matt stressed the importance of finding the right prescriber who will help you in the way that best supports your healing, either with a guide, coaching and journaling, or in another way. What I found really interesting is the success people experience when they combine the ketamine therapy with setting a clear intention, meditation, journaling, and focusing on creating new, healthy habits. Matt's parting wisdom is: Remember not all providers are equal, so get clear about the treatment and support you desire if you choose to explore psychedelic therapy If you choose to go the retreat route, ask a lot of questions about number of participants, prescriber credentials and medical capabilities so you find the right fit for the experience you want to have From the practical application of ketamine and other psychedelic therapies to the business model of Matt's telehealth company, I found this conversation both intriguing and promising. Imagine a world where people can be free of the debilitating effects of trauma and treatment-resistant mental health conditions. To me, it's mind-blowing.
