Jasveen Sangha was seated at the breakfast table the morning of October 29th, 2023, when a headline flashed across the TV that would turn her glamorous world of privilege upside-down, Former “Friends” star Matthew Perry found dead at his Pacific Palisades home.  A lump formed in her throat. Only days before she'd supplied someone connected to the actor 25 vials of liquid ketamine, enough to comatose an African elephant. She typed in a quick Google search: “Can ketamine be blamed for causing death?” Any hope she had that the story would simply fade away was quickly dashed. Despite his well-publicized struggle with drugs and alcohol, Perry, 54, was still worth millions and a legion of “Friends” fans demanded to know who was responsible for giving “Chandler” his fatal dose. In the months that followed, police arrested five individuals for having a hand in Perry's tragic demise. It wasn't a set of the usual suspects. Two physicians, a rehab counselor, the actor's live-in assistant, and an international, jet-setting socialite authorities dubbed “The Ketamine Queen” were among those arrested in connection with Perry's death.

In this special solo episode, adapted from a recent live training, Paul F. Austin explores one of the most important and often overlooked realities of microdosing: different substances create different outcomes. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-359/?ref=278  Drawing on more than a decade of experience in psychedelic education and coaching, Paul compares psilocybin, LSD, huachuma (San Pedro), ketamine, and iboga through the lens of client goals, nervous system regulation, emotional processing, cognitive performance, and contraindications. Paul explains why generic microdosing protocols often fall short, how practitioners can better match substances to individual needs, and why context, preparation, and integration matter far more than any single medicine. He also shares why huachuma has become the foundation of the Psychedelic Coaching Institute's microdosing methodology and offers guidance for practitioners looking to support clients with greater precision and care. Highlights: Why generic microdosing protocols can fall short How psilocybin supports emotional processing and inner work LSD's role in focus, creativity, and physiological performance Why huachuma may be especially useful for nervous system regulation Ketamine's role in SSRI tapering and clinical support Iboga's potential for neurodegenerative conditions and brain injury How to match substances to a client's goals and baseline state Why contraindications and clinical-grade intake matter How microdosing can support post-journey integration Why "more medicine" is not always the answer Episode Links: Paul on Instagram The Psychedelic Podcast The Psychedelic Coaching Institute Episode Sponsors: The Practitioner Certification Program by Third Wave's Psychedelic Coaching Institute.

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week's show we finally take a glimpse at what psychonaught Danny Goller has been trying to tell us for years; that if you smoke enough DMT and stare at a diffused laser you can see the code of reality. After talking about how Danny figured it out, we discuss why such a strange idea might not only make sense but falls in line with cutting edge research and a long tradition in the West of combining cutting edge optics and spirit communication to advance our understanding of reality. We even get into how Danny says to do the experiment… which we do not endorse, condone or promote in any way because drugs are bad and I am not responsible for any damage you do to your eyes while on them. In the extended show we discuss what spirit conjuring wizards throughout history have a strangely concordant interest in the field of optics, the bizarrely specific experiences shared by participants and what kind of strange entities are most contacted while a user is on DMT. We discuss the Back Rooms, the City of Pyramids and the occult reason why the entities that reside there might be hideous clown creatures.

Sharon is the co-founder of Joyous PBC, an AI-powered platform focused on making mental health treatment affordable and accessible. A cognitive psychologist, she has led the development of patient programs and created Joyous for Therapists, a collaboration tool designed to support clinicians. Her work centers on the psycholytic ketamine approach for trauma treatment — a low-risk method with negligible psychiatric or medical emergency rates. Because low-dose ketamine produces partial dissociation, clients stay oriented while gaining enough psychological distance to work directly with trauma targets. It requires far less training than psychedelic therapy and has shown strong effectiveness for trauma care.In This EpisodeJoyous PBCSharon on IGsharonniv.substack.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.---Thank you for listening!If you want to support the show, I've got three options and every bit helps.$5.00 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/NPKS32G8KVSN2$10.00 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/495AMDFXQFC3L$15.00 PayPalhttps://www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/M7V5RREUKVD8JThank you to our Sponsors: Jane App - use code GUY1MO at https://jane.app (https://jane.app/book_a_demo)Novo Psych - novopsych.com/traumapodcast

ABOUT THE EPISODE:Dr. Wes Robins sent me a text a few weeks ago, and I stopped what I was doing and read it twice. It was a piece he had written at his kitchen table while his daughters worked on an art project beside him, and it was one of the most honest and beautiful things I have read in all the years I have been doing this work. It started with four words: you are not broken. And it kept going from there.Wes has been a guest on this show before, and I have always admired how he shows up. No pretense, no pedestal. Just a real human being who has done his own hard work and now walks alongside young people and families who are doing theirs. Since we last spoke, he made the gut-wrenching decision to close the treatment center he poured five and a half years into, and what he learned on the other side of that loss is something I think every parent who has ever watched someone they love struggle needs to hear.He is back in private practice now, seeing clients out of a cool 60's ranch house in Alpharetta, GA. He works with young people, with parents, and with families who are trying to figure out how to stay present through things that feel impossible to witness. He's a Ph.D, but has officially taken on the designation of Soul Nurse, and once he explains it, you'll understand exactly what that means.This conversation goes places I did not expect. We talk about the piece Wes wrote for parents, and he reads it aloud, and I am not going to pretend I held it together. We get into the difference between empathy and presence, why watching your child suffer might be asking something of you that has nothing to do with them, and what it actually means to be the flight attendant when your kid is in turbulence.If you have ever felt like you were failing simply by not being able to fix this, this one is for you.YOU'LL LEARN:The wise words Dr. Wes wrote at his kitchen table that stopped me coldHow to think about psychedelics and plant medicines when your child is asking (or using them)The difference between empathy and presence, and why it mattersWhy your child's struggle may be your greatest spiritual teacherWhat being the flight attendant actually looks like when you are terrified yourselfEPISODE RESOURCES:WebsiteDr. Wes Robins Youtube ChannelDr. Wes LinkedIn ProfileEmail address: drwes@eternalstrength.comPsychology Today"When The Map Burns" This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

In this episode of the Observatory Podcast, Scott and LaRae Wright sit down with Dr. Reid Robison to explore psychedelic therapy methods, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, clinical research with psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, and the deeper relationship between mental health, spirituality, healing, and self-awareness. Dr. Robison shares how psychedelic medicines are being studied and used in careful therapeutic settings to help people work through depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, end-of-life fear, and deeply ingrained patterns of suffering. Together, they discuss the difference between symptom management and true healing, the importance of preparation and integration, the role of music as medicine, and why awareness may be one of the most powerful gifts these experiences can offer. This conversation also explores the future of psychedelic medicine, the evolving legal landscape, and the hope that these therapies may help more people access healing in safe, supported, and meaningful ways.Timestamps: [00:00:03] Welcome to The Observatory Podcast[00:00:17] Introducing Dr. Reid Robison and psychedelic therapy for mental health[00:05:40] Dr. Robison's path through psychiatry, ketamine, ayahuasca, MDMA, psilocybin, and LSD research[00:08:00] The 1960s, the war on drugs, and why psychedelic research disappeared for decades[00:13:35] Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and stuck thought patterns[00:16:10] Awareness, self-observation, and learning to see yourself clearly[00:19:31] The harm chart, psilocybin, alcohol, and rethinking risk[00:26:23] What ketamine is and how ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works[00:30:00] Preparation, dosing sessions, music, and integration[00:31:32] Neuroplasticity and reshaping old patterns[00:35:40] Music as medicine in psychedelic journeys[00:44:39] End-of-life anxiety, terminal illness, and psilocybin as a sacred passage[00:46:49] Spirituality, religion, and reconnecting with belief in a higher power[00:52:34] Healing stories, family work, couples work, MDMA, and PTSD[00:58:12] Psychedelic therapy, suicide, religion, and signs of cultural change[01:02:11] The future of psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, and legal therapeutic access[01:04:57] Self-awareness, sovereignty, and becoming your own curriculumNotable Quotes: “Psychedelics have proven to be a really effective way of doing that.

AP correspondent Haya Panjwani reports on the fifth and final sentencing in the 2 1/2-year investigation and prosecution of Matthew Perry's death.

In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Dr. Chandra Estelle Khalifian, a clinical psychologist, relationship researcher, and co-founder of Enamory, about the intersection of attachment science, couples therapy, and psychedelic-assisted healing. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-357/?ref=278  Drawing from her work in ketamine-assisted couple therapy and MDMA research, Chandra explores how relationships are shaped by nervous system regulation, attachment wounds, and patterns developed long before adulthood. The conversation examines how ketamine and MDMA can help couples move through rigidity, betrayal, grief, and disconnection by creating greater emotional openness and flexibility. Paul and Chandra also dive into conscious uncoupling, relational growth, community, and the deeper distinction between love as a feeling versus love as a practice. Chandra Khalifian, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist, researcher, and educator specializing in psychedelic-assisted couple therapy. She co-founded Enamory, alongside Dr. Kayla Knopp, a private practice clinic, training institute, and research foundation based in San Diego, California.

Send us Fan MailThis episode is a companion audio diary to my interview with Ted Riskin, recorded while participating in one of his five-day Internal Family Systems (IFS) ketamine-assisted group retreats in Asheville, North Carolina. Over the course of the retreat, I recorded stream-of-consciousness reflections into my iPhone each day as I moved through group process, ketamine journeys, hikes in the mountains, and conversations about healing, anger, meaning, and inner balance.This episode is more personal and less structured than my usual interviews. Part field journal, part psychological exploration, it captures what it feels like to enter one of these increasingly popular healing environments.Timestamps0:00 - Audio Diary Retreat Setup1:55 - Meeting The Group And The Method4:19 - Setting Intentions For Inner Balance5:16 - First Ketamine Journey And Comeback10:32 - Integration Plus Hikes And Workday13:14 - Anger Work And Nature Reset15:14 - Lower Dose Insights And Next StepsSubscribe to the Developing Meaning Substack newsletter: Developing Meaning SubstackDeveloping Meaning is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE and is NOT AFFILIATED WITH ANY INSTITUTIONS.Theme music by The Thrashing Skumz.

Show notes at pharmacyjoe.com/episode1132 In this episode, I’ll discuss a case report of the effects of ketamine on the clearance of tacrolimus and sirolimus.

Three new GLP-1 studies, why every food is suddenly "high protein," the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama blowing up Instagram, and why I'm on a ketamine table as you listen. Three new studies just shifted the GLP-1 conversation, and not in the direction women have been hearing about. Chalene digs into what's actually happening to muscle and bone density, why the rebound after coming off matters more than anyone's talking about, and the three questions every woman on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound should bring to her next doctor's appointment. She also gets into why every grocery aisle suddenly screams "high protein," and why this whole moment is starting to feel suspiciously like the Snackwell cookie era. There's a simple protein target that works without tracking macros, and Chalene walks through how she's using it. Then she breaks down the Bethenny Frankel shoe drama that took over Instagram this week. What the shoe brand founder got wrong, what Bethenny got wrong, and the rules of brand partnerships that almost nobody outside the influencer world understands. Finally, a personal update. As you're listening to this, Chalene is on the table for another medically supervised ketamine treatment with Dr. Andrew Levinson. She shares why she went back for a third session, what the last journey taught her about control, and who this kind of work is really for.

Last year saw a 24% increase in cocaine use and increases in treatment for new psychoactive substances and ketamine. That's according to new figures on drug use published by the Health Research Board. Speaking to Anton this morning was Dr Garrett McGovern Medical Director of the Priority Medical Clinic & GP Addiction Specialist.

From his unusual path as a computer programmer living in an Ashram to becoming one of the leading voices in ketamine-assisted IFS group therapy, we explore how to work with protectors, why anger deserves more respect than our culture gives it, and how group healing unlocks something individual therapy often can't reach.

Drew's story sounds less like a straight line and more like a lit fuse. Raised mostly in Utah, what started as early oxy use quickly escalated into heroin, methadone, benzos, and a life built around the chaos of selling drugs. But selling soon bled into something darker: robbing local heroin dealers at gunpoint, high-speed car chases, police raids, and eventually fleeing to California while living fully on the run.In California, the hustle only evolved. Pills moved online through Silk Road, bitcoin fortunes disappeared almost as fast as they came, ketamine entered the picture, and rapid detoxes became desperate attempts to outrun addiction without ever truly surrendering to recovery. Through all of it, Drew lived at full speed until a few serious injuries and and dark moments afterward finally forced him to confront what decades of chaos had cost him.Now sober since 2021, Drew has rebuilt his life from the ashes of addiction and violence. Today, he owns a men's mental health and substance use treatment center Sacred Journey, in San Diego and lives deeply rooted in a program of recovery. In this episode, Drew shares one of the wildest stories we've ever had on the podcast, but underneath the insanity is something even more powerful: proof that even the most self-destructive life can be rebuilt into one centered on purpose, service, and freedom.Connect with Sacred Journey Treatment Center on InstagramDM me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Message me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Listen AD FREE & workout with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with me on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email me chasingheroine@gmail.comSee you next week!

What if aging isn't about time, but about the cells your body can no longer replace?Dr. Joy Kong, triple board-certified physician and founder of Chara Health in Los Angeles, sits down with Luke Storey to break down what regenerative medicine actually does inside the body. Dr. Joy explains how umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells work through five core pathways: anti-inflammatory effects, immune modulation, antifibrotic action, antimicrobial properties, and angiogenesis. She covers mitochondrial transfer, where new cells pass fresh mitochondria into aging cells through a microtubular bridge, and senescent cell clearance, the same process that reversed aging in published mouse studies. Dr. Joy also addresses why minimally manipulated birth tissue cells used in the US can be safer than the cultured, expanded cells used overseas, why "more cells" is not better, and how stem cell therapy supports DNA repair through micro-RNA signaling.The conversation also covers the cesarean delivery and screening process behind ethical sourcing, the science of micro-chimerism, and why every organ inside the body ages alongside the skin you can see.Dr. Joy then opens up about her own four-and-a-half-year IV stem cell protocol and the reversal she's measured since 43. The episode closes with a deeper conversation on ketamine therapy, gamma brainwaves, and the philosophical roots of integrative medicine.Dr. Joy talks about:00:00 Why we age and why stem cells are the answer01:03 From Chinese medicine to UCLA psychiatry to regenerative medicine03:12 Anti-aging philosophy: treating disease before symptoms appear05:36 How umbilical cord stem cells are collected and screened11:12 Why your immune system accepts another person's stem cells13:08 The Y-chromosome study that changes how we think about cell transfer16:18 Bone marrow vs. fat vs. birth tissue stem cell sources19:30 How stem cells trigger cancer cell death through Trail ligand25:00 Anti-inflammatory, immune-modulatory, and anti-fibrotic effects explained28:28 Killing senescent cells to clear the path for regeneration30:54 Mitochondria transfer: getting a fresh cellular battery39:00 Ketamine, gamma waves, and the science of expanded consciousnessAdditional Resources:✨ Get My Famous Skin Cream CharaOmni: https://www.charaomni.com/ ✨ Subscribe to Luke Storey on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@LukeStorey Visit My Clinic:Chara Health

It’s that time of year again when sequins, smoke machines and yelling “douze points!” at your TV somehow counts as a sport. Eurovision is officially back. In 2026 we are heading to Vienna, Austria and yes Australia is back in the mix. This year Delta Goodrem is flying the flag, set to perform in Semi Final 2 tomorrow.

In this high-yield, no-fluff episode, Dennis is joined by Dr. Michael Falk, a pediatric emergency medicine physician, former academic, and combat-experienced relief worker who has run airways in Haiti post-earthquake, Mosul during the ISIS fight, Ukraine, and Gaza. They break down exactly why pediatric airways are a completely different beast in prolonged field care and give you field-proven tactics that actually work when you're the only one there with a BVM and a prayer.Key Takeaways You Can Use TomorrowPositioning is everything: One to two inches under the shoulders (or whole body) prevents automatic obstruction from the massive occiput.Adjuncts > early tube: NPA or OPA + side-lying (gravity is your friend) can keep you from tubing in the field.Tube sizing rule: Child's pinky ≈ ET tube diameter. Depth = 3× tube size. Always go smaller — you can ventilate, you can't un-damage a ripped airway.Intubation mindset: Kid airway is more anterior and cephalad. Slow down, work your way in, or you'll be in the esophagus.GCS decision:

LISTEN WITHOUT ADS FOR 25 Cents a day! www.patron.com/dopeypodcast Episode Summary Total Replay #25! Dave opens Monday's Dopey Total Replay by revisiting Dopey Episode 25 from April 2016, titled Cocaine Overdose, Prince. Before the replay, he talks about plans for the Dopey Recovery Film Festival in Manhattan, Patreon perks, the Tuesday Reddit Roundup with Selby and Cormac, and addresses listener reactions to a previous sex-and-love addiction email. He then reads a powerful email from Willow about long-term recovery through Sex Addicts Anonymous and finding sobriety after years of relapse. Next comes a wild voicemail from Bailey in Chicago involving the world's worst drug dealer, accidental crack purchases, a drunken camping trip, bachelor party chaos, abortion scam drama, crack smoking in a tent, and jumping out of a moving truck. Dave then reads Spotify and Patreon comments before launching the classic replay. In the 2016 episode, Dave and Chris react to Prince's death, speculate about addiction, and Chris repeatedly confuses Prince with Michael Jackson and Freddie Mercury. They spiral into nonsense about Annie Lennox, Blondie, dancing, and music ignorance. Then Chris tells the main event: a brutal cocaine overdose story involving shooting a huge amount of coke in a bathroom, collapsing violently, a neighbor breaking the door down, and Chris still worrying about hiding the remaining cocaine instead of dying. The episode ends with more chaotic drug stories, sleepwalking on ketamine, early Dopey banter, and one of the first appearances of Chris saying “toodles.” Dave returns afterward reflecting on Chris, the strange beauty of these old recordings, and invites listeners to stay involved with Dopey Nation.

On this episode of the Natasha Helfer Podcast, Michelle Mower joins to discuss how the Mormon purity culture affects men. Michelle Mower, LPC, LMFT, CST,  is a therapist, coach, educator, and certified sex therapist who helps adults understand what's actually going on in their sexuality and relationships. Her work focuses on the erotic mind; how thoughts, desire, and personal history shape the way people experience intimacy. She works with individuals and couples who feel confused, disconnected, or at odds with their own desire, helping them move out of self-questioning and into clarity. Her approach is direct, grounded, and focused on making sense of experiences that often feel hard to explain, even to yourself. Michelle is completing her PhD in Counselor Education and Supervision, where her research examines sexual shame in men raised in the Mormon faith and the long-term impact of religious sexual conditioning on identity and desire. She is known for saying the things people are already thinking but haven't been able to put into words, bringing clarity to conversations about sex and relationships that are often avoided or oversimplified. Her work challenges the idea that something is wrong with you and instead focuses on understanding what hasn't been explained yet.

Send us Fan MailHave you ever wondered how seemingly normal people end up trapped in extreme religious groups or following a charismatic leader? It's not about a lack of intelligence—it's about a calculated psychological trap.In this powerful crossover episode of Surviving-ish, I'm joined by Jenny from Unholier and psychiatrist Dr. Sandra Cox to deconstruct the terrifying mechanics of religious control. We dive deep into the "Dark Triad" of cult leadership—Narcissism, Psychopathy, and Machiavellianism—and how they weaponize your own empathy and kindness against you.We also tackle the elephant in the room: the psychological parallels between religious cults and modern political movements. We discuss the MAGA following and how "us vs. them" mentalities and milieu control operate within political spheres to create total ideological devotion.Jenny shares her harrowing firsthand account of growing up in the Independent Fundamental Baptist (IFB) world, from public shaming at youth camps to the reality of an abusive arranged marriage and her high-stakes escape.In this episode, we break down:The 8 Deadly Sins of Cults: Understanding Robert Lifton's framework for mind control.Political Cultism: Analyzing the MAGA following through the lens of psychological devotion.Love Bombing vs. Reality: How "Light Triad" traits (empathy and forgiveness) make you a target.The Mechanics of Control: Milieu control, loaded language, and the "dispensing of existence."The Path to Freedom: Navigating deprogramming, the dangers of hypnotherapy, and modern trauma treatments like EMDR, Ketamine-assisted therapy, and TMS.If you've ever felt "gaslit" by an organization or are looking for the tools to heal from spiritual abuse, this deep dive is for you.#CultPsychology #MAGA #Psychology #DarkTriad #LoveBombing #Narcissism, Support the show

Your body already makes one of the most powerful antimicrobials on Earth, and almost nobody knows about it.Hypochlorous acid lives inside your white blood cells. When you get cut, burned, or scraped, your immune system sends it to the injury site to kill bacteria, calm inflammation, and support healing. Scientists have known how to replicate it for over a century, but until recently, it couldn't stay stable long enough outside a hospital to be bottled.Justin Gardner spent 20 years launching regenerative medical products, including skin grafts and advanced wound care technologies. When he came across hypochlorous acid, he saw something different: a non-toxic antimicrobial that works fast and aligns with how the body already heals. He licensed the technology and built Active Skin Repair to bring it to consumers.In this conversation, we get into how it compares to things like colloidal silver and manuka honey, why most products labeled “hypochlorous acid” don't actually work, and how it's being used for everything from post-surgery recovery to everyday skin issues.For the next week, The Life Stylist loyal listeners can get their biggest discount, 25% off all Active Skin Repair products, when you go to https://lukestorey.com/skinrepair and use code LUKE at checkout.

Full Show Notes: bengreenfieldlife.com/stimulatedmind In this episode with Dr. Tommy Wood, you'll explore what actually determines how well your brain functions across your entire lifespan, from the inputs that drive cognitive development in infancy all the way through the habits, environments, and daily choices that either accelerate or protect against decline in adulthood and old age, all grounded in the research behind his new book, The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age. You'll discover why the modern world leaves you simultaneously overstimulated by technology and understimulated in the ways that actually build cognitive capacity, why lactate from intense exercise may be one of the most underrated brain health tools you have, and which types of exercise target different parts of the brain.
