Do you feel frustrated by recurring struggles with self-doubt, hypervigilance, and overwhelm?Behind many of your inner doubts, self-judgements, fears, and insecurities lie echoes from old betrayals or relational hurts.These breaches of trust in important relationships don't necessarily lose their impact on how you lead and work just because they happened a long time ago.So when you're doing something new or high stakes, or there's an experience in a relationship at work or in your personal life, or you respond to a collective trauma that taps the echoes of your old wound, it can bring up old ways of responding or old patterns that impact how you honor your boundaries and values. And the expectation that you should ‘be over this by now' when you are human and working with others adds to your stress and frustration.But the reality is that healing from relational wounds and betrayal traumas often comes in stages and seasons, and you may need support along the way.Deran Young is a licensed therapist, New York Times Best-Selling Author, former military mental health officer, and the founder of Black Therapists Rock. This nonprofit organization mobilizes over 30,000 mental health professionals committed to reducing the psychological impact of systemic oppression and intergenerational trauma.She obtained her social work degree from the University of Texas, where she studied abroad in Ghana, West Africa for two semesters, creating a high school counseling center for under-resourced students. She is a highly sought-after diversity and inclusion consultant working with companies like Facebook, Linked In, Field Trip Health, and YWCA. Deran has become a leading influencer and public figure committed to spreading mental health awareness and improving health equity.Listen to the full episode to hear:The importance of learning to recognize the cultural and familial legacy burdens that impact usHow shame and an inability to be vulnerable shut down speaking the truth about cultural and personal historiesHow early relational trauma can lead people to feeling out of place, not just at home, but in the world at largeWhy our earliest experiences with our caregivers have such a deep impact on our relationships later in lifeThe lasting impact of the roles we take on as children in dysfunctional families in how we lead ourselves and othersHow cultural expectations and perfectionism can dehumanize mothers and leadersThe potential for psychedelic-assisted therapy to change our relationships with our burdensLearn more about Deran Young:Black Therapists RockInstagram: @blacktherapistsrockTikTok: @blacktherapistsrockBlack Therapists Rock Facebook GroupFollow Deran on FacebookLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Adult Children of Alcoholics & Dysfunctional FamiliesThe Happiest Baby on the Block: The New Way to Calm Crying and Help Your Newborn Baby Sleep Longer, Harvey KarpThe Gifts of Imperfection, Brené BrownDaring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead, Brené BrownRage Becomes Her: The Power of Women's Anger, Soraya ChemalyEP 73: The Potential of Psychedelics to Help and Heal with Victor CabralWhole Brain Living: The Anatomy of Choice and the Four Characters That Drive Our Life, Jill Bolte TaylorBeyoncé - COZYElemental
As researchers continue to explore therapeutic applications of existing psychedelic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin, there's been a parallel effort to create new compounds that produce the same beneficial effects, but that come without the lengthy protocols and regulatory obstacles attached to those currently criminalized substances. "If you could develop new molecules that were more targeted and shorter acting, you may actually be able to create medicines as potent as the existing ones, but administratively and medically more efficient so we can reach more people," says Ronan Levy, a serial entrepreneur in the space. After a foray into creating a business model for ketamine-assisted therapy, Levy is now looking to support the community of millions of people who are already using psychedelics in various capacities through his Non-Ordinary Therapy Company instead of providing the therapeutic experience directly. “Wherever you're having your psychedelic experiences, that's wonderful. We're there to help you get the maximum impact from your sessions.” Join host Shiv Gaglani for this fascinating conversation about responsibly pushing regulatory boundaries, whether hallucinatory effects are essential to therapeutic benefit, and the rapid pace of change in a field that holds the potential to, as Levy puts it, “displace most forms of mental health care currently provided.” Mentioned in this episode: Non-Ordinary Therapy CompanyThe Ketamine Breakthrough (book)
Learn the positive effects of psychedelics on mental health Psychedelics had always been shrouded in stigma and misunderstanding. These substances, known to induce altered states of consciousness, have been the subject of controversy and curiosity. The effects of psychedelics on health range from sensory distortions to profound emotional experiences. However, research is shedding light on the therapeutic potential of psychedelics on mental health. We are talking to someone from the therapeutic psychedelics industry. Ronan Levy is a five-time founder. A lawyer turned entrepreneur, he co-founded Field Trip Health, the world's largest provider of psychedelic-assisted therapies, and Reunion Neuroscience, a company listed on NASDAQ. On top of his entrepreneurial endeavors, Ronan also hosts the enlightening How We Evolve: A Non-Ordinary Podcast. In this episode, we have the privilege of tapping into Ronan's profound knowledge and insights regarding the transformative potential of psychedelics, their remarkable healing abilities, their role in personal growth, and their industry. Key takeaways: Psychedelics have been unfairly stigmatized and misunderstood, but they have significant therapeutic potential and can be transformative. Psychedelics like MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD have shown promising results in treating mental health conditions, particularly PTSD. Adequately controlled and supported psychedelic experiences can lead to profound healing and personal growth. The medical and legal landscape around psychedelics is evolving, with FDA approval for MDMA-assisted therapy on the horizon. Ronan's experiences in the cannabis and psychedelic industries have highlighted the need for more open-mindedness and evidence-based approaches. There is growing recognition of psychedelics as a legitimate medical treatment. Questioning societal norms and exploring opportunities in fringe industries can lead to new insights and business ventures. All this and more, on this week's episode of Beyond 7 Figures.

Though not specifically a psychedelic — ketamine is a dissociative anesthetic — ketamine therapy is being touted as a depression treatment and, for some, a new form of spiritual healing. And indeed, some of the results are promising. But with Ketamine Wellness Centers and Field Trip Health both shutting down ketamine clinics across the country, leaving clients scrambling to find relief. Are these psychedelic entrepreneurs placing too much emphasis on scaling and shareholders and not enough on healing, even though their marketing efforts claim the opposite? Derek looks into the sordid developments of ketamine therapy, including the botched trials that ultimately received FDA approval.

Many of us start our transformational journey with therapy, and while it's effective, it's also a limited modality. In this episode with psychotherapist Sonia Hsieh, we address some of the limitations of the therapeutic container and explore how plant medicine containers fill those gaps.One of the major shortcomings of therapy is that trust can be difficult to build between a therapist and client. Sonia and I explore how plant medicine, on the other hand, can teach us to trust ourselves, trust the plant we're sitting with, and then in turn trust life. We speak on many other nuances between psychotherapy and plant medicine.Sonia Hsieh is a psychotherapist located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina and Costa Rica. Formerly trained in psychoanalytic and insight-oriented approaches to therapy, Sonia began to make the transition to psychedelics in 2020, as well as writing and publishing articles for "Field Trip Health" and "Psychedelic.Support". In the fall of 2021, she completed the MAPS mdma-therapy training program and in 2022 began assisting at Iboga Wellness. Currently, Sonia is in training and assisting at Iboga Wellness in Costa Rica and guides clients using psilocybin and mdma.I was blessed to have Sonia literally hold my hand during my iboga ceremonies at Iboga Wellness, so it was such a joy to drop in with this medicine sister today. You will love dropping into this chat between two iboga sisters exploring the depths of being on the medicine path.Big thank you to this sponsor of this episode, Schedule35.

In this episode of Psychedelics Weekly, Joe and Kyle are back at it, talking about news and what's going on at Psychedelics Today (applications for Vital close this Sunday, March 26, and we've just announced a new neuroscience course!). Following up on last week's news that Field Trip Health had closed five clinics, they start with more unfortunate news: that Field Trip is laying off a lot of people, Ronan Levy has resigned as the CEO, trading has been suspended, and the company has obtained CCAA Protection (which, through the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, essentially allows a struggling company a chance to restructure its finances to avoid bankruptcy, all through a formal Plan of Arrangement). And in similar news, all Ketamine Wellness Centers (an Arizona company recently acquired by Delic Holdings) would be closing immediately, with employees let go with little warning or explanation. These stories (and Synthesis Institute's downfall) highlight the sad reality many of us in the psychedelic space forget: that just because a business is heart-centered and psychedelic-minded, it's still a business, and businesses need to be profitable to survive. Next, they cover Melissa Lavasani and the Psychedelic Medicine Coalition creating the Psychedelic Medicine PAC (Political Action Committee) to get more government funding behind psychedelic research. Members of PMC went to D.C. last week, presenting a psychedelic briefing to begin the process of educating legislators about the realities of plant medicines and psychedelic-assisted therapy (and Joe was there). And they discuss more: concerns over Australia's recent about-face on MDMA and psilocybin being used legally; a recent study where researchers used EEG and fMRI together to record what is happening in the brain while under the influence of DMT (and we should probably have Manesh Girn on again to explain it better than we could); and an interview with Eric Andre at SXSW where, in about 2 minutes, he brilliantly shines a light on drug exceptionalism, the lies of the drug war, and the need for more education on psychedelics – all to a bewildered reporter who didn't seem prepared to talk to Eric Andre (we are- please come on the podcast!). www.psychedelicstoday.com
In this episode of Psychedelics Weekly, Joe and Kyle join up once again to discuss the news and articles they found the most interesting this week. They start with the business news everyone is talking about: Field Trip Health & Wellness closing 5 of their clinics due to financial struggles (a deficit of $48.7 million since their inception and a net loss of $6.9 million reported for the last quarter), little confidence they'd be able to receive more funding, and the changing landscape of ketamine telehealth now that the Covid Public Health Emergency should finally come to an end in May. They also highlight an article dissecting the collapse of Synthesis Institute and the lessons to be learned, with both stories really showing just how new and unstable psychedelic business still is, and how the allure of first-mover advantage can be a dangerous gamble. They also discuss four drug reform bills introduced in Vermont: two of which would decriminalize simple possession of all drugs, making a "personal use supply of drugs” a civil offense with a $50 fine; one removing penalties for using or selling psilocybin; and the last decriminalizing certain psychedelic plants and fungi. And they look at a research study aiming to learn more about people's lives after they've been involved in a clinical trial, Time Magazine's article about psychedelics and couples therapy, and a study that found that while 64% of survey respondents said at-home ketamine helped their symptoms, 55% (and 58% of Millennials) said they used more than the recommended dose – either by accident or on purpose. www.psychedelicstoday.com

In today's episode, Chase and May talk about relationships, boundary setting, and healing. We will all encounter people in our lives that test our boundaries or share different values from us. On top of that, we are all constantly changing and healing, which can create friction in our relationships. You may love someone deeply, but if they cannot meet you where you are, it's hard to maintain a healthy dynamic. Ending relationships is not a failure, and it is okay to leave space in your heart for people while realizing they cannot be in your life right now. May shares how she took stock of her relationships in order to identify what wasn't working for her. Furthermore, she discusses how she developed boundaries to protect her wellbeing and maintain a positive attitude toward others. Additionally, Chase and May discuss how healing is a continuous process.

In this episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, Dr. Ben Medrano joins to discuss the intricacies of meaning making in psychedelic healing. Dr. Medrano is the former senior vice president and US medical director of Field Trip Health and has extensive experience in the evolving field of integrated approaches. He is also the current co-medical director of Nue Life Health where he is continuing his efforts in expanding access to ketamine therapies. Dr. Medrano additionally still serves as medical director of Field Trip NYC and DC clinics while continuing his private practice. Dr. Medrano begins this conversation sharing a bit about his background and how he came to be interested in psychedelic medicine and the issues surrounding meaning making. He talks about his experience growing up in a family where mental illness was prevalent and how this planted the seeds for taking an empathetic approach to treating these conditions in his career as a psychiatrist. He also discusses his initial exposure to psychedelics in the Chicago rave scene of the 1990s. It was then that he first realized both the transformative potential of psychedelic-induced altered states and the potential dangers of using these substances without proper precautions or care for set and setting. Following these formative experiences, Dr. Medrano began a practice of meditation within the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. It was through exposure to these spiritual practices and deep teachings that he began to see the importance of this process of meaning making and cultivate various resources suited to this project. Dr. Medrano stresses the importance of self-awareness in realizing one's own approach to meaning making and how this has been shaped by unique personal experiences. This self-awareness helps one realize that a given patient may be approaching their own experiences from a very different angle, but there are still ways in which it is possible to support and encourage this personal meaning making. Dr. Medrano stresses the importance of working with narratives in psychedelic healing. Psychedelic-induced peak experiences can be packed with insights and symbols which may be brimming with significance, but there's a lot of work to be done in understanding this material in light of the personal narratives of a patient's life. Through therapeutic integration, a patient can use their psychedelic experiences to critically examine their narratives and reflect more personally on the potential meanings of given revelations in light of how they understand themselves. Additionally, Dr. Medrano distinguishes the roles a facilitator should play to support meaning making in high dose versus low dose contexts. When a patient is in the midst of a high dose psychedelic experience, Dr. Medrano emphasizes that the facilitator should primarily seek to affirm the experiences of the patient, being a calming and secure presence that doesn't introduce any additional complexity or uncertainty into an already intense experience. On the other hand, in lower dose, “psycholytic” experiences, the facilitator may take a more active role, helping facilitate the patient's meaning making in the midst of the experience through asking questions and engaging with ideas as they arise. In terms of preparation and intentionally building psychedelic experiences more conducive to meaning making, Dr. Medrano emphasizes the importance of ceremony. Through a more ceremonial approach, a psychedelic experience can be given additional structure which may be reassuring for the patient, and additionally this provides an opportunity to more proactively incorporate things which may already be extremely meaningful for a given person. These can be practices such as prayers, or physical objects which have a certain deep personal significance. All of these help to encourage more meaningful content in the psychedelic experience, while also providing something grounding and familiar in the midst of altered consciousness. Because of how effective Dr. Medrano has found various psychedelic therapies to be in helping people make meaning in life, he is primarily focusing his energies on expanding access to these powerful medicines at this stage in his career. In this episode: Dr. Medrano's background and how he got involved in psychedelic medicine and spiritual practices How does Dr. Medrano help clients make meaning out of drug-induced altered states Why Dr. Medrano refers to ketamine as “the great imitator” The importance of understanding a patient's cultural and meaning making background How to work more intentionally with set and setting and incorporate ceremonial practices Shifting away from a “goal-oriented” perspective of psychedelic experiences Quotes: “I think telling our stories is part of this process of healing.” [5:20] “Just getting your mind blown by a psychedelic substance is not going to fix things. That's something I had to learn really quick.” [11:00] “I think for us to do this work, we all need to actually have a good sense of who we are and how we're approaching the conversation.” [19:01] “Trying to really invite in a sense of inspiration, energy, and support is really what the goal—or part of the goal—of ceremony is.” [28:20] “Really your role as a guide is honoring and affirming the experience. It's as simple as that. And being supportive. So, having a dialogue is not necessarily encouraged in higher doses.” [31:22] “Basically the process of integration is to not let anything that comes into the experience not be honored or seen in some way, to allow it to be explored, and of course not to push too much.” [38:27] Links: Dr. Medrano's website Nue Life Nue Network Field Trip Health New article: Safety, effectiveness and tolerability of sublingual ketamine in depression and anxiety: A retrospective study of off-label, at-home use Previous episode: Psychedelic Apprenticeship: Validating Psychedelic Insights and Revelations with Chris Timmermann, PhD The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Psychedelic Medicine Association Porangui
I had the distinct pleasure of having returning guest Richard O'Bannon the creator of the Facebook page Adlerian Psychedelic Society and special guest Ronan Levy who is the chairmen and CEO of Field Trip Health which is a health and wellness organization dedicated to psychedelic-assisted therapy. Ronan is an advocate in the field of psychedelic therapy as well as the host of his own podcast "Field Tripping Epic Trips In Psychedelics". In this BHI episode, we learn a little more about Ronan's path into the world of psychedelics. We get into discussions on Field Trip and the services they offer to the public regarding psychedelic therapy. Additional topics on the show today Field Trips enhanced moleculesWay's on reducing the cost of psychedelic treatments.How Field Trip is different in its approach to psychedelics compare to other companies.Insurance companies rate psychedelic therapy. I truly want to express what an honor and pleasure it was having these two amazing professionals on the show today. https://behavioralhealthintegration.org/ Ronan's contact information https://www.thetripjournal.com/ ronan.levy@gmail.com https://twitter.com/ronandlevy linkedin.com/in/ronanlevy https://www.fieldtriphealth.com/ https://www.instagram.com/fieldtriphealth/ https://www.instagram.com/ronandlevy/ https://www.fieldtripping.fm/ Richard's contact information Adlerian Psychedelic Society
What the heck is quantum mechanics? Ronan is joined by two guests on this episode of Field Tripping — Thomas Lewton, independent science journalist, and Dr. Randy Scharlach, US Medical Director of Field Trip Health & Wellness (and guest from our popular episode “The Taste of a Mango.”) The three discuss the nature of reality, the contemplation of what consciousness is, and where psychedelics fit into this equation.
In this episode of Kaleidoscope, we discuss the latest cutting-edge health care methods used by psychologists to care for injured workers experiencing mental health challenges. Joining us is Michael Coupland, Vice President of Occupational Health at Field Trip Health. As a licensed psychologist, Michael is considered a pioneer in his field, leading the charge for the identification and utilization of non-traditional treatments. Prior to his time at Field Trip Health, Michael was a Principal Psychologist with Integrated Medical Case Solutions, helping injured workers and others with the evaluation and treatment of chronic pain. Key Takeaways: People have talked for decades about the problem of delayed recovery from work-related injuries due to psychosocial drivers of lost time. Up to 25% of employees fail to recover from these injuries due to PTSD and depression. PTSD presumption laws are helping to get mental health care to those who need it. Before these laws were established, it could be considered that exposure to trauma was “part of the job” for first responders or other frontline workers. Therefore, these employees had to jump through hoops to have PTSD symptoms accepted as a claim. The state of Florida is an early adopter of these presumption laws and set a precedent for others to follow. Look to embrace alternative ways of treating people to protect and save lives. Continue to keep what is right for the patient as the focus, but also recognize what is right for the patient may mean leveraging tools outside of the traditional box.

My guest today is Onur Yildirim, Director of Field Trip Health Amsterdam, a place that offers legal, safe and vetted experiences and possibilities to rediscover life through psychedelics. Field Trip Health stands for scientifically supported, legal psychedelic experiences that liberate and inspire you, and works with a step-by-step, professional approach to the use of psychedelics. This includes preparatory sessions and integrative therapy sessions. In Amsterdam Field Trip is working with truffles, in The US and Canada with ketamine. Onur, who leads a team of experienced therapists and psychiatrist at FT; was originally trained in clinical psychology and worked as a psychologist during the first years of his career. Later, Onur earned his PhD in neuroscience from Radboud University and worked in the R&D and MA of established pharmaceutical companies such as Johnson & Johnson and Novartis, where he championed the research of psychedelic molecules as potential antidepressants. After his time in the pharmaceutical industry, he began his entrepreneurial career which eventually led him to Field Trip. Onur and I talk about what happens if you make the decision to engage in a psychedelic journey at FT, who are the people that are interested in this and why the times of Covid are encouraging people to look into psychedelic support systems, if possible. And full disclosure, I have done a guided Truffle experience at Field Trip in Amsterdam and it brought me many new insights. I decided to engage in a truffle experience twice year - a tool to support my own life's and founder's journey.
BenGreenfieldFitness.com/ronan Believing that you should never hesitate to trade your cow for a handful of magic beans, my friend and my guest on today's podcast - Ronan Levy - has built a career out of doing things that others say cannot be done. Ronan started his career as a securities lawyer at Blake, Cassels & Graydon LLP but left that after realizing he was much too creative for the profession of law. Since then, Ronan has helped launch businesses across a number of industries from gold, to cannabis, and, most recently, in psychedelics where he is a co-founder and the Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health Ltd. (NASDAQ: FTRP), a global leader in the development and delivery of psychedelic therapies. When not being thoroughly incorrigible, Ronan lives in Toronto with his wife and two children. He's also the host of the podcast "FieldTripping", on which I've been a guest in this episode. Field Trip Health, Inc., is the world's first mental wellness company focused on psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, which at the time was opening the first medical centers—first in Toronto, then in Chicago, New York, Seattle, Houston, Atlanta, Stamford and LA—dedicated exclusively to the administration of psychedelics, in a “spa-like” setting. During our discussion, you'll discover: -Various ways Field Trip Health provides therapy and psychedelic journeys... -Psychedelics beside ketamine we may see legalized in the near future... -The history of Field Trip Health's psilocybin mimicking drug... -Cost considerations for psychedelic journeys now and in the future... -And much more!

In this solo episode, Chase gives his thoughts on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy and his own life-changing sessions as Field Trip Health. It was through the various studies conducted through Field Trip Health that Chase was truly exposed to the world of ketamine and its enhancing benefits to the psychotherapeutic process. What was especially impactful for him was learning about the almost curative effects of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy on servicemembers suffering from PTSD, severe anxiety, and depression. After sifting through the research as well as hearing from the actual healthcare professionals working at Field Trip Health, Chase came to the conclusion that psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is the future of healthcare as a whole, considering the trajectory of your life is largely downstream from your mental health. Listen in as Chase offers his advice to those who, like himself, are exploring the world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and why he believes so strongly in leaning into what feels right on your unique wellness journey. He reflects back on his two, incredibly profound ketamine sessions at Field Trip Health, and how those two sessions gave Chase “years of [therapy] work in about an hour.” Watch the video and learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/538

Ronan Levy is a pioneer in the therapeutic psychedelics industry. He is the Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health. With centres opening across North America, Field Trip Health helps people to heal and heighten their engagement with the world via the healing modality of psychedelics. “There's doubt about it. We are in a psychedelic renaissance,” says Ronan, referring to the recent dramatic realignment of mainstream views around traditional medicine. Calling it “a massive change in the global zeitgeist”, this paradigm shift goes beyond health and wellness, reflecting a change in how we view emotions and even spirituality. Contributing heavily to this revolution is the mental health crisis that had already been on the rise for years but was further aggravated by the pandemic for the past year-and-a-half. Citing “significant humanitarian and economic implications”, Ronan says that “depression and anxiety disorders are going to become the leading global burden of disease, meaning they will cost the global economy more than any other disease out there, primarily from lost productivity.” With these realities in mind, Ronan dives deep into the history, science, and psychological and pro-social benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy. He speaks on the common, decades-long misconceptions surrounding this subject, and the groundbreaking research done on ketamine and psilocybin that, if rediscovered in the world of conventional medicine, may become a key factor in eradicating not just the current mental health crisis, but many of the social and environmental ills we face today as well.

The Psychedelic Renaissance. Ronan Levy walks us through the Field Trip Health growth story in the emergence of psychedelic assisted therapy and new mental health treatments. Much stemming from Michael Pollan leading the way and on the forefront of this cultural shift as humanity wrestles with the crisis of emotion or a crisis of spirituality. I like to call it the emergence of the clinical Shaman. So many treatments are showing promise in advancing the development of psychedelic therapies.

Mike “Zappy” Zapolin has been referred to as a “psychedelic concierge,” who has dedicated himself to the expansion of human consciousness. He is an entrepreneur and trend-spotter of internet domain names, cannabis, and now the psychedelic economy. As a film-maker, his documentary film, “The Reality of Truth,” explores his ayahuasca experience in Peru, and features Deepak Chopra and actor Michelle Rodriguez. He also directed “Lamar Odom: Reborn,” a documentary that features NBA star Lamar Odom, and his path to recovery through psychedelics. Zappy joins Ronan to discuss how his early psychedelic experiences inspired him to go deeper later on in life, how the psychedelics industry could be the next big tech boom (but which could also really help people), his utterly jaw-dropping experiences with ayahuasca and ketamine, and more!

Julian Uzielli has struggled with chronic depression for years. Like many people with mental health issues, his symptoms were exacerbated by the pandemic, and his condition eventually deteriorated to the point where he was forced to take a leave of absence from his job.Therapist appointments and regular antidepressant medications were doing little to alleviate Julian's despondency, so he began looking into alternative treatments. During his research he encountered a clinic in Toronto called Field Trip Health, who offer a service called "ketamine-assisted therapy." Having exhausted all his other options, Julian decided to give it a go, and a few months later he's feeling better than he ever has.So what is ketamine? How accessible is it to Canadian's who feel like they could benefit from its use? Could this be the miracle drug that sufferers with treatment-resistant depression have been waiting for?

Trauma, anxiety and depression plagues our world, and as a result people are constantly seeking ways to heal. While there are many different modalities out there, in this episode of The HEAL Podcast, Kelly chats with Dr. Mike Dow about the effectiveness of hypnosis, Ketamine and other psychedelic therapies when administered with proper supervision and integration. Dr. Mike Dow is a New York Times best-selling author, psychotherapist, and mental health expert that has been able to treat a wide variety of mental illnesses through his private practice in Los Angeles and at Field Trip Health, the world's largest provider of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. Mike shares how everyone's path is different, what works for one may not be right for another, but it's fundamental that we keep an open mind to all possibilities. The innate healer within is one of our greatest gifts but sometimes we need something or someone external to spark the awareness, re-establish a feeling of connection, and help us bring our blind spots to light so we can heal.

Field Trip Health Ltd (TSE:FTRP, OTCMKTS:FTRPF) is the largest vertically integrated psychedelics company. Psychedelics are the first well-known contextual medicine (the experience a patient has when receiving the drug is almost equally important to the science behind the drug itself). Field Trip realizes this fact and is building the clinical infrastructure to deliver psychedelic therapies […]
In this episode Bart interviews Ronan Levy, Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health, one of the world's leading psychedelic companies, about his non-traditional career choices. Ronan, who began his professional career a corporate lawyer, soon found himself hating his working life, and set out on a series of risky yet authentic ventures in pursuit of fulfilment. From working in the music business, to a stint at an online dating site he won't name (!) to becoming a pioneer in canabis, Ronan has had a lifetime of experiences. His insights help make clear that even if you aren't always successful, following your authentic passion will make you more fulfilled along the way.

What was once deeply associated with the hippie movement is now being used to help people recover from trauma and improve their mental health. Today we're talking psychedelics and psychedelic therapy. Ronan Levy, co-founder and chairman of Field Trip Health is actively contributing to the psychedelic renaissance by providing a space for clinical mental health treatment using ketamine assisted therapy (and hopefully MDMA and psilocybin assisted therapy in the future when approved by the FDA). Ronan and I talk about what it feels like to be on psychedelics, how the brain is affected by psychedelics, and what's actually happening biologically when someone is on psychedelics. We also discuss the incredible clinical studies and trials happening with MDMA and psilocybin and how they are contributing to the betterment of mental health and mental health treatment. Psychedelics have offered me profound experiences in my own life, and whether you're interested in trying them or not, this episode on the psychedelic renaissance is profoundly informative. Enjoy!

Ronan Levy, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Field Trip Health and I are talking about Field Trip’s mission to "bring the world to life through psychedelics and psychedelic-enhanced psychotherapy". Especially the opening of Ketamine Clinics, in the meantime in seven locations from Toronto to Amerstedam, has made Field Trip Health last year to one the most important forces in the field and last year the company even went public. Ronan, a lawyer by training, is also a partner at Grassfed Ventures, a venture capital and advisory firm focused on the cannabis and biotech industries and is Chief Strategy Officer and Member of the Board of Directors for Trait Biosciences Inc., a leading biotech company in the hemp and cannabis industries.It was fun to have Ronan on the show again and catch up, also because the world of psychedelics is changing every day. This time, next to Ketamine, we talk about if Ketamine Clinic should look like Soho House, if there is something like an agnostic molecule, we talk Demi Levato's video “Dancing with the devil'', where she shows herself overdosing and addressing her addiction. We talk about the exact meaning of “California Sober”, an approach to recovery that includes drinking alcohol and smoking cannabis in moderation and we discuss if biotech or the recreational side of psychedelics will win the race. So enjoy the show with Ronan and the birds singing in the background, while we are talking. https://www.fieldtriphealth.com/
This is dedicated to those at Field Trip Health. Per their website, they use "psychedelic therapies that bring you to life [through] evidence-based, legal psychedelic therapies to help you heal depression and feel better." Ronan Levy, the host of their podcast Field Tripping, asks a great question about what this pandemic has taught the guests. Since it's given us 'more time' and expressed differing branches of uncertainty, Ronan wonders how The Great Pause allowed us to grow, gather insights, realizations, or reflections, and in what respects. This is my much shorter answer to that question. It was born a few days after I tried to record another short response that ended up being half an hour - which is also out there. I hope you enjoy it! In this, I discuss the importance of personal and self-development and how I was able to continue looking inwards for answers rather than outside myself. Catalysts along this internal journey were, and still are, Yoga, Reading, Writing, and Meditation, among others not expressed. The second big takeaway, for me, is how we all must learn to live alone at some point in our lives and why. On their podcast, Field Tripping: "Turn on and tune into Field Tripping, a podcast about psychedelics, the people that use them, and what our renewed love affair with both says about who we are and where we're going. Explore how psychedelics awaken new views on sex, science, business, fitness, life, and death in the lives of our influential and inspiring guests. Join us on a journey into psychedelic experiences and how they change the world and our lives – one trip at a time. The podcast sometimes deals with some challenging or sensitive topics, so we ask that you please be thoughtful and use good judgment when considering some of the subjects discussed." If any of this has sparked some curiosity, start with episode #5 or episode #10 of the Field Tripping podcast.

Ronan Levy, one of the founders of Field Trip Health, and Dr. Michael Verbora, the Medical Director for Canada at Field Trip Health, joined us via zoom to educate us and our listeners on evidence based, legal, psychedelic therapies that have been proven effective when used to treat anxiety, depression, and PTSD. These two both have a background working with medicinal cannabis and have now started using a combination of ketamine and psychotherapy to help their patients. Dr. Mike is a trained family physician who became tired of simply adjusting his patients medications versus finding the root of the problem. Listen to him describe the process in detail and how and why it works. As a “recovering lawyer”, Ronan has a passion for what he's doing now and even shares some personal experience about how this process has improved his own life. ConEdInstitute.com 2rmtsandamic.com

On today's episode, we interview Ronan Levy, the Founder & Executive Chairman of Field Trip Psychedelics. Field Trip Health, the first of the verticals Ronan is involved in, is a pioneer in the psychedelic therapy space, working to make psychedelic therapies more effective, safe, and accessible to all. Prior to Field Trip Health, Ronan worked to expand access to therapeutic medical cannabis, ultimately driving a multi-million dollar exit that defined the clinic vertical. We explore Ronan's background in law, entrepreneurship, and cannabis before reaching forward into the future of both Field Trip and the broader psychedelic industry. Time Stamps: 04:00: Ronan's background (i.e., corporate lawyer and entrepreneur turned medical cannabis pioneer ‘bringing darkness to light' and securing an 8-figure exit) 24:40: Why did he leave his senior leadership role at Aurora Cannabis post-acquisition? 29:20: What sparked his interest in psychedelics as an industry? 34:20: What is Field Trip Psychedelics and how did it come to be? 40:17: Why are Field Trip Health's clinics starting with Ketamine as their first therapeutic agent and how does it compare to ‘traditional psychedelics'? 46:00: How Field Trip's offering will evolve and why they're so focused on engendering the trust of the medical community. 51:05: Deep-dive into Ronan's point of view on differences in jurisdiction and geography prioritization as it pertains to strategy. 56:00: Considerations when building and scaling psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy clinics (in Toronto and New York). 59:10: An overview of Field Trip's multi-disciplinary team, gaps in the talent market, and the ensuing implications. 1:05:50: COVID-19's impact on their product roadmap 1:07:17: Field Trip's funding to date (~$12M CAD), the impact of cannabis industry turbulence, and psychedelic industry financing more broadly. 1:16:00: A discussion about the similarities, differences, and false similarities between the cannabis and psychedelic industries. 1:24:45: How Ronan recommends getting up to speed on the psychedelic industry. 1:29:07: The self-perpetuating nature of psychedelics, notions of moral authority, and why the psychedelic pandora's box is now open (in more countries than one) 1:39:30: What Ronan's excited about, why he wants to change the world, and how Field Trip is positioned to do so :)
There's a rising popularity in the field of psychedelics as it relates to addiction treatment and healing trauma. But aren't psychedelics addictive? On today's episode, Duane speaks with Ronan Levy, co-founder of Field Trip Health, a company with a mission to heal the sick and better the well through psychedelics and psychedelic-assisted therapies. Ronan explains the role of psychedelics in healing trauma and addiction treatment and recovery.A trained lawyer by profession, Ronan hopped into the entrepreneurial world over 10 years ago and got an opportunity to start a business in the medical cannabis industry in Canada. Eventually, he discovered the role of psychedelics and since then, he has been committed to using this platform that opens up conversations to a whole new audience so he could reach more people in the hope that we can shift the conversation around mental health from a reactive place into something we do proactively. Ronan initially thought that if he could get people thinking about their mental health like their physical health and becoming proactive in developing emotional awareness and emotional resilience, then we would all be doing justice to the world and our healthcare systems. That's when he started exploring psychedelic therapies and their potential to build a business around them. But more importantly, it's not just the physical effects of psychedelics that drew him to this space, but how psychedelics play a significant role in raising the consciousness of humanity on a global scale. In this episode, you will hear:Psychedelics and healing traumaWhat are psychedelics?The risk of taking psychedelicsThe impact of psilocybin-assisted therapies What's going on in the brain during a psychedelic experienceThe cross country ski track analogyOther benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapiesWhat a psychedelic experience feels likeKey Quotes:[07:02] - "If we could get people thinking about their mental health like their physical health, and being proactive and developing emotional awareness... we would be doing such a justice to the world." [08:08] - “It's about the conscious evolution of consciousness – how do we elevate humanity in a way that we can deal with the challenges that we face as a species and as a planet?”[08:28] - “Trying to use old techniques to address new problems is not going to work.”[10:19] - “It's virtually impossible to overdose on psychedelics. And when done in a proper therapeutic environment with medical professionals or psychotherapeutic professionals, the risk of the so-called bad trip or going crazy is virtually negligible.”[12:14] - "These are not just medicines, they actually change people and help them see the world from a different lens."[13:07] - “Psychedelics, particularly ketamine is such a powerful medicine for acute suicidal ideation… you have these layers of effect going on that are not only changing the emotional resonance of what's going on, but they're also actually changing the physical operation of your brain in a healthy and productive way.”[19:34] - "Through psychedelics and some of my personal experiences with psychedelics, I can start to see myself as being worthy of love and as being a successful human being even if I don't have a successful business."Subscribe and ReviewHave you subscribed to our podcast?
