Podcasts about Psilocybin

⚠️ WARNING: This episode will challenge everything you think you know about health. “Obesity kills more people worldwide every year than car crashes, terrorism, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and malnutrition combined.” In this eye-opening episode of Start Today, I bring you Dr. Saman Soleymani—a no-BS physician and entrepreneur running over a dozen practices—who exposes how Big Pharma and Big Food profit from disease while ignoring the #1 factor that could save your life: nutrition. From the obesity epidemic to GLP-1 drugs, testosterone, antidepressants, and birth control, Dr. Soleymani rips the lid off the lies that are killing people every single day. We uncover why waist size is the ultimate death predictor, how visceral fat destroys men's hormones, why SSRIs don't cure depression, the promising science of psilocybin, and the dangerous side effects of hormonal birth control that no one talks about. No fluff. No sugarcoating. Just the truth you need if you want to take back control of your body, your health, and your future.

“We don't view a person with chronic pain as someone who has a chronic illness and the effect of that is we can't follow patients continuously over prolonged periods of time,” says Dr. Jacob Hascalovici, a neurologist and pain specialist based in New York City.  In co-founding Bliss Health, Dr. Jacob, as he is known, has set out to create a continuous care model for chronic pain treatment that matches the approach taken for patients with diabetes or high blood pressure. The Bliss Health formula includes an initial meeting with a physician that produces a care plan; remote therapeutic monitoring on an ongoing basis; and a monthly meeting with a nurse to review data and determine next steps, including additional appointments with physicians as needed.  All of this occurs via a digital platform which provides a welcome option for patients with mobility issues and can fill gaps in access to specialists, especially in rural areas. Dr. Jacob is also hoping to make chronic pain patents feel respected, which is not always the case in their encounters with the healthcare system. “Because pain is not something that can be seen or measured, oftentimes patients feel marginalized, dismissed and disempowered by providers.” Join Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith for a valuable conversation that also touches on policy changes that could strengthen telemedicine, and has details on the first non-opioid based pain medication to receive FDA approval in over 20 years.Mentioned in this episode:Bliss Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In recent months, public health advocates in the United States have raised concerns about proposed changes to vaccine policy, cuts to food assistance programs, rollbacks of environmental protections and reductions in public health staffing. Chief among them has been Dr. Georges Benjamin who, as executive director of the American Public Health Association (APHA) since 2002, has led national efforts to create a healthier America. Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith recently sat down with Dr. Benjamin to understand more about the current state of public health and explore the path forward, and learned that a top priority for APHA is battling the misinformation that Dr. Benjamin believes is fueling support for many of these changes. “The challenge we have right now is that as a society, we've gone into our little corners and live in our own ecosystems. More people are getting their information from a single source and they're not validating that information to make sure that it's true.” Tune into this thoughtful and timely conversation to hear Dr. Benjamin's advice for curbing the spread of misinformation, how APHA is trying to help people understand the value of public health initiatives, and what the U.S. can learn from other countries about improving public health. Mentioned in this episode:American Public Health Association If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode Rotem Petranker, PhD joins to discuss the current state of research on microdosing psilocybin. Dr. Petranker is the co-founder of the Psychedelic Studies Research Program at the University of Toronto and the Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science. He recently ran the world's largest randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of microdosing psilocybin on Major Depressive Disorder. In this conversation, Dr. Petranker shares insights from running the world's largest randomized controlled trial on psilocybin microdosing for major depressive disorder. He explains the origins of microdosing research, from early anecdotes and surveys to his team's carefully designed clinical study comparing psilocybin to placebo across different environments. While participants in both groups reported significant improvements, the findings point to the powerful role of expectancy and placebo effects, alongside nuanced signals of cognitive shifts on measures like dysfunctional attitudes. Dr. Petranker emphasizes the importance of rigorous methodology, open science, and transparency in psychedelic research, while also acknowledging the stories of participants whose lives were positively impacted by study participation itself.   In this episode, you'll hear: What early microdosing research suggested, and its limitations in anecdotal and survey-based designs Why psilocybin was chosen over LSD for the study design  What motivates people to try microdosing a psychedelic Key results from Dr. Petranker's study, including reports of both positive and adverse events How placebo effects—and simply being part of a trial—can powerfully shape outcomes Reflections on how psychedelics may work by increasing connectedness   Quotes: “There's no real rigorous definition [of microdosing]. People say, ‘oh, I'm just going to microdose some mushrooms,' and then they often take a random amount. I think what people mean is ‘I'm going to take an amount that will not knock me out, won't cause serious hallucinations,' but they still use an amount that they often feel. Now, this is in contrast to what people in the [academic] literature define it as, which is more like a sub-perceptual dose, a sub-hallucinogenic dose.” [2:17] “If you microdose and go to work, just to sit under the flickering lights for eight hours in your cubicle versus, say, if you're going to microdose and then go on a walk, or do art, or do as you wish because it's the weekend, you're going to have very different impacts on your anxiety.” [15:26] “[In our study] there were three other self-report measures of depression. There is only a significant difference on one of them, where people who were microdosing were doing better. And that was on the dysfunctional attitude scale, which measures more cognitive assumptions about life.” [26:2] “people who microdose—regardless of why they microdose—they more or less all said that they got to what they wanted through an increased sense of meaning.” [35:05]   Links: Psychedelic Studies Research Program at the University of Toronto Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science website Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science on X Canadian Centre for Psychedelic Science on Instagram Previous episode: Microdosing and the Placebo Effect with Balazs Szigeti, PhD Previous episode: James Fadiman answers your Microdosing Questions!

“Probably the most exciting thing I've seen in gene therapy over the last ten years is we now have a lot of tools for selective delivery, which will hopefully make treatments more safe and a lot more successful,” says Dr. Jessica Duis, a geneticist and pediatrician focused on the management of individuals with complex, rare disorders. Dr. Duis, who has worked on several gene therapies that are now approved or progressing through the accelerated approval pathway, is currently VP of Clinical Development at GondolaBio, a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing therapeutics for genetic diseases. As you'll learn in this Year of the Zebra episode with host Lindsey Smith, Dr. Duis is encouraged by other recent advances in genetic technology as well, and thinks momentum will grow as breakthrough treatments emerge. “I think we're hopefully going to continue to see companies that are working in rare disease be more successful and really drive how regulators think about making decisions in terms of bringing treatments to patients. I think we're at the tip of the iceberg in terms of the future of truly transformational therapies.”  This wide ranging conversation also explores Dr. Duis' team approach to patient care, her work on clinical endpoints, the importance of patient communities, and her book series, Rare Siblings Stories.Mentioned in this episode:GondolaBioRareDiseaseDocElsevier Healthcare Hub on Rare DiseasesRare Sibling Stories If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Weltweit, auch in der Schweiz, erleben psychedelische Substanzen ein Revival. LSD, MDMA und Psilocybin – manchmal auch in Microdosen – sind aus der Partyszene nicht mehr wegzudenken. Aber auch im medizinischen Kontext werden sie immer häufiger gegen Depressionen oder Suchtkrankheiten eingesetzt. Die Schweiz mischt ganz vorne mit. Mit Ausnahmebewilligungen dürfen Psychiater und Psychologen LSD, MDMA, Ayahuasca oder Psilocybin einsetzen. Das Universitätsspital Genf hat eine eigene Abteilung dafür geschaffen und bildet Medizinstudierende entsprechend aus. Halluzinogene werden auch weiter erforscht, um Medikamente zur Behandlung von Depressionen, Ängsten, posttraumatischen Belastungsstörungen oder Suchterkrankungen herzustellen. Auf dem globalen Pharma-Markt winkt damit das grosse Geschäft, denn immer mehr Menschen haben psychische Probleme. Braucht es heute Tabletten oder einfach Ekstase, um das durchgetaktetes Leben auszuhalten? Ist die so erzielte Verbundenheit mit der Natur effektiv ein Weg zur psychischen Heilung und zu einer besseren Welt? Oder ist dieser neue Hype nur eine weitere Kommerzialisierung der Natur, bei der einige wenige Firmen grosse Gewinne machen? Der Film von Michèle Sauvain zeigt, wo die Schweiz steht.

Most conversations about fertility focus on women. But here's the truth: up to 50% of infertility cases are male and men's reproductive health is a powerful window into their overall wellbeing, longevity, and disease risk.This week's guest, Professor Suks Minhas, world-leading consultant urologist and expert in male fertility is here to change how we think about men's health. With decades of clinical and research expertise, he reveals why sperm counts are falling, what it really says about men's health today, and the practical steps every man can take to protect his future.Together we explore: – Why male infertility makes up half of cases and why it's rarely discussed – The surprising links between sperm health, testosterone, and metabolic disease – DNA fragmentation: the overlooked cause of “unexplained infertility” – How lifestyle, stress, alcohol, and obesity directly affect fertility– The role of endocrine disruptors and environmental toxins in declining sperm quality – Fertility preservation: should men also consider freezing their sperm? – Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT): who it helps, who it harms, and why it can act as a male contraceptive – Actionable, evidence-based ways to optimise male fertility and long-term healthThis isn't just a conversation about reproduction. It's a wake-up call for men's health, fertility, and longevity. Whether you're thinking about children, or simply want to future-proof your health, this episode gives you the clarity to take action.Love,Sarah Ann

In this episode of What Happens in Vagus, host Dr. Stephanie Canestraro sits down with Kayse Gehret, founder of Microdosing for Healing, to explore the fascinating world of microdosing psilocybin and its growing role in mental health, wellness, and alternative medicine. Together, they unpack the science behind psilocybin's impact on the nervous system, including how it interacts with serotonin receptors in both the brain and gut to support emotional regulation and cognitive clarity. Kayse shares her personal healing journey and how microdosing helped her overcome seizures, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being without the “altered state” many people associate with psychedelics.Listeners will learn how microdosing can offer powerful support for conditions like depression, anxiety, and chronic illness, often leading to enhanced mood, deeper self-awareness, and improved mental resilience. The conversation also touches on the importance of quality sourcing, the evolving legal landscape, and how proper education is key to safe and effective practice. With more health professionals exploring the therapeutic potential of psilocybin, this episode offers an eye-opening look at how small doses can lead to profound healing and a deeper connection to self.More about Kayse Gehret: Kayse Gehret is the founder of Microdosing for Healing and creator of the first-of-its-kind Professional Microdosing Facilitator Program.

In this episode, I invited Britton and Carolee Beckham to share how they moved from six-generation Mormon conditioning to a sovereign, heart-led union. Their story begins with a psilocybin journey that shifted how they saw their church, opening a path through grief into clarity and personal truth. We also sit with the courageous healing that followed repeated infidelity—how they chose to face the pain, tell the truth, and keep listening to love.Together, we unpack what sovereignty really means in partnership, why consent is a living practice, and the difference between hierarchy and healthy power in sacred sexuality spaces. The Beckhams explain their commitment to emotional monogamy while allowing playful social containers, and how deep shadow work, embodiment, and honest agreements helped them rebuild safety, desire, and trust from the inside out.We also explore parenting four kids without shame—normalizing bodies, teaching consent early, and fostering open, curious dialogue at home. Now guiding others through Ritual Shadow Work with astrology and lunar cycles, Britton and Carolee offer a grounded blueprint for choosing love, freedom, and integrity—within yourself and in union.Chapters0:00 - Introduction to Our Guests from Colorado2:30 - Realizing the Desire for a Different Path8:34 - Navigating the Exit from Mormonism13:47 - Historical Context of Polygamy in Mormonism18:17 - Sacred Sexuality and Emotional Intelligence24:35 - Exploring Sexual Sovereignty and Polyamory31:57 - Embarking on a Healing Journey32:36 - Understanding Masculine and Feminine Dynamics33:44 - Balancing Sovereignty and Freedom in Relationships42:26 - Union in Polyamory46:17 - Owning Infidelities and Relationship Growth52:01 - Releasing Judgments for Personal Freedom52:28 - Parenting and Conversations About Sexuality56:02 - A Story of Protection and Awareness in Parenting

In this revisited episode of The Observatory, George Bumann, a professional sculptor and wildlife ecologist, joins the show to discuss communicating and listening to the world and nature and how it's constantly communicating with us. George shares insights from his book "Eavesdropping on Animals: What We Can Learn From Wildlife Conversations" and explores the importance of creating a relationship with nature. The conversation delves into instances of listening to nature, techniques for achieving stillness, and the connection between music, listening, watching, and the natural world. George, whose sculptures can be found in prestigious collections across the United States, brings a unique perspective that combines his artistic background with his deep understanding of wildlife ecology.Timestamps[01:51] About George Bumann[04:00] The book - Eavesdropping on Animals: What We Can Learn From Wildlife Conversations[07:20] Creating a relationship with nature[16:31] Instances George observed listening to nature[25:29] Allowing nature to be what it is[31:30] Using our senses to focus more when we are still[35:28] Techniques to get into stillness[44:22] We are never well in isolation[49:21] Yellowstone environment experience for George[58:40] Connection between music, listening, watching, and nature[01:03:52] George's experience when he was dancing around the fire[01:12:23] Getting into spaces where we exploreNotable Quotes“In a lot of cultures the birds are the messengers, they are the ones that bring the messages to the clan or to the tribe.” - Scott Wright [13:51]“You can learn with the plants, you can learn with the animals have to teach us but that's the big thing, is most of us just do not know how to listen anymore.” - George Bumann [14:54]“If you are darting your eyes around, the only thing you are seeing is the one thing you are looking at.” - Scott Wright [33:48]“Our culture, even our science has become so reductionist and focused on particular things.”  - George Bumann [35:38]“Those broader ways of observing contexts gives you the relationship.” - George Bumann [35:52] “We live in the land of the free but we are not free.” - George Bumann [01:04:34]“Conversations can happen on so many levels beyond words.” - LaRae WrightResources MentionedThe Book: Eavesdropping on Animals: What We Can Learn From Wildlife Conversations - George Bumann : https://www.amazon.com/Eavesdropping-Animals-Learn-Wildlife-Conversations/dp/1778400205The Book: Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants - Robin Wall Kimmerer: https://www.amazon.com/Braiding-Sweetgrass-Indigenous-Scientific-Knowledge/dp/1571313567The Book: The Music Lesson: A Spiritual Search for Growth Through Music - Victor L.

With nearly one in ten newborns in the US requiring care in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the importance of NICUs has never been more clear. On today's episode of Raise the Line, we're shining a light on the extraordinary world of NICUs with Lindsay Howard, a veteran nurse with over 17 years of experience caring for premature and critically ill infants. She currently works in a Level IV NICU at Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, one of the most advanced neonatal units in the country. “We call ourselves ‘the ER of the neonate world' because we're never full. We have to make space no matter what comes in off the street, and at the biggest medical center in the world, we see all the things,” she explains. In this enlightening conversation with host Lindsey Smith, Howard describes how advances in medicine have made it possible to provide more types of care for younger and smaller babies, creating a need for NICU nurses to develop subspecialties. In her case, Howard is on a dedicated team that handles the placement and maintenance of all central line IVs, and has earned certifications in neonatal and pediatric chemotherapy and biotherapies. “We see babies that we may not have seen before being born with cancerous tumors who need chemotherapy to try and eliminate it, or just give them more time with their family.” This is a revealing look inside the workings of a top tier NICU where you'll learn about approaches to care that support healthy neurodevelopment, how clinical staff handle the emotional challenges of the job, and how her own experience as a mother with twins needing NICU care impacted her work.  Mentioned in this episode:Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

Key Points Robin Swan explains her indigenous background and lifelong experience with psychotropic substances through the Native American church, having used peyote since childhood and incorporating psilocybin into her apothecary practice since 2014.Psilocybin mushrooms grow on every continent making them an open practice for humanity, with mycelium mapping similarly to the human central nervous system and representing the first life form to emerge from water according to creation theory.Depression and brain cancers became the primary focus for incorporating psilocybin into Swan's practice because cannabis wasn't adequately addressing these conditions, particularly given that mushrooms create neuroplasticity and open new neural pathways.Working with NFL players and pro sports athletes for 15 years revealed that psilocybin significantly helped traumatic brain injury and concussion recovery where cannabis had limited effectiveness.One unnamed NFL commentator client with 12 concussions showed dramatic improvement within three weeks of psilocybin microdosing, regaining speech clarity, eliminating blank stares, and completely stopping massive migraines that pharmaceuticals couldn't treat.Different psilocybin mushroom varieties serve distinct therapeutic purposes, with cubensis being electric and external for traditional psychedelic experiences, while azurescens provide internal experiences that create neuroplasticity specifically beneficial for brain cancer patients.Clinical studies from Johns Hopkins University, Harvard, and Emory University have documented psilocybin's therapeutic potential across 170 studies covering treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, chronic pain, and immune system modulation.Parkinson's disease treatment with psilocybin shows remarkable results in reducing shakiness and mood swings while helping patients navigate daily challenges, while Alzheimer's patients become more fluid and maintain better memory connections.Psilocin, the active ingredient in psilocybin, remains active for only three days once extracted and requires specific ingestion methods, with lemon juice extraction providing faster onset within 15 minutes compared to capsules taking up to four hours.Swan Apothecary offers various psilocybin products including capsules, chocolate bars, lemon-extracted psilocin products, and a "hero dose" journey product containing 3.5 grams, all requiring two years of research and development before market release.Cannabis and psilocybin produce completely different experiences, with cannabis providing cannabinoid profiles while mushrooms maintain individual properties and create visions, heart-opening effects, and consciousness expansion that may have driven human evolution from apes.Common misconceptions about psilocybin include fears of wall-melting hallucinations and bad experiences, though the substance is safer than LSD as a natural fungus lasting 4-6 hours with potential weeks-long afterglow effects.Proper dosing and timing matter significantly for psilocybin effectiveness, with insufficient doses or full stomachs preventing activation, while the substance helps end-of-life patients live longer and have meaningful conversations with loved ones.Swan emphasizes that mushrooms help people embrace living in the present moment rather than fighting for future life, citing client Sally who lived nine years beyond her initial diagnosis and taught the importance of conscious, empowered living during terminal illness.

We are doing something special in celebreation of episode 200. Instead of an interview, I recorded a straight-talk lecture on psychedelics. Together, we are going to explore what psychedelics are; why they are so interesting to research; and the chemistry, pharmacology, phenomenology, history, and current research on Psilocybin, DMT, MDMA, Ketamine, and Ibogaine.

In this episode of The Observatory, Scott and LaRae discuss the purpose of alchemy, which aims to liberate the entire individual self, including the parts held in darkness. Hear how you can transform your best self into your soul self, what makes life sacred, and the practice of paying attention and being present. They also share the areas in their life that have turned from lead to gold and the upcoming ‘You are the Medicine' retreat. Timestamps[03:31] Transforming your best self into your soul self[03:56] What makes life sacred?[07:21] The practice of paying attention and being present [13:08] Scott's memory of turning bricks into gold[14:28] About the book: The Alchemist[19:21] The areas in LaRae's life that have turned from lead to gold[25:55] The areas in Scott's life that have turned from lead to gold[31:37] The year of alchemy for all the listeners[34:11] ‘You are the medicine' retreatNotable quotes:“It's important in our lives to have something that nourishes our souls.” - Scott Wright [30:52]“It's less about doing and more about being, creating from a place of presence.” - Scott Wright [31:22]Relevant links:Subscribe to the podcast: Apple PodcastProduced by NC Productions!

“When you think about where we were as a country before Medicare and Medicaid were created and where we are now, it's an incredible story,” says Chiquita Brooks-LaSure, who until earlier this year was the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In a recent essay for The Century Foundation, where she is now a senior fellow, Brooks-LaSure used the 60th anniversary of enactment of those foundational insurance programs to help put their impact on individual Americans, the healthcare system and society at large in perspective. One prominent example is the desegregation of hospitals, which was achieved in part by withholding reimbursements for care unless facilities served Blacks as well as whites. Another is making it possible for more people with disabilities to live at home instead of in institutional settings. But as you'll hear in this probing Raise the Line conversation with host Lindsey Smith, Brooks-LaSure worries that many gains in coverage and other progress made over the years through Medicare, Medicaid and the Child Health Insurance Program (CHIP) are at risk because of a new federal law that calls for a trillion dollar decrease in spending, resulting in potentially millions of people losing their coverage, cuts to clinical staff and medical services, and the closure of hospitals and clinics, especially in rural areas. “Most rural hospitals in this country are incredibly dependent on both Medicare and Medicaid to keep their doors open and there's an estimate that over 300 hospitals will close as a result of this legislation, so that, I think, is a place of incredible nervousness.” Whether you are a patient, provider, policymaker or health system leader, this is a great opportunity to learn from an expert source about the range of potential impacts that will flow from changes to critically important insurance programs that provide coverage to 40% of adults and nearly 50% of children in the U.S. Mentioned in this episode:The Century FoundationEssay on 60th Anniversary of Medicare & Medicaid If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

In this episode, Eva sits down with Patty and Michael, a couple who have returned to Flow Life retreats multiple times - both individually and together. Patty and Michael first joined us a year ago at the couples retreat. Later, Patty attended a women's retreat and most recently they returned as a couple for another transformative experience. They share their heartfelt reflections on how this medicine and the retreat container have supported their healing, growth, and connection as partners. Their take-a-way highlights how real people, not just research participants, are finding lasting change through these experiences. Recent studies show that even a single dose of psilocybin can ease depression for up to five years, reduce heavy drinking by half, and bring profound relief for those living with anxiety, PTSD, and more. Patty and Michael's journey brings these findings to life in a deeply personal way.

Send us a textAging, tissue repair, and the longevity benefits of psilocin.Episode Summary: Dr. Louise Hecker discusses her research on tissue repair and regeneration, explaining how fibroblasts drive wound healing by forming scar tissue but fail to resolve properly with age, leading to fibrotic diseases like pulmonary fibrosis and liver cirrhosis; they discuss aging hallmarks such as oxidative stress and telomere shortening, and highlight Hecker's study showing psilocybin's active metabolite, psilocin, extends cellular lifespan in lab cultures by reducing oxidants and preserving telomeres, while monthly doses in aged mice improved appearance and survival rates.About the guest: Louise Hecker, PhD is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Baylor College of Medicine, specializing in repair and regeneration processes, particularly in aging and fibrotic diseases.Discussion Points:Fibroblasts are dormant cells that activate during injury to pull wounds closed and form scars, then de-differentiate or die; aging impairs this, causing persistent scarring and disease.Aging reduces the body's regenerative capacity; different organs vary in repair efficiency, with skin healing better than heart tissue.Oxidative stress, like "rust" in the body, accumulates with age due to imbalanced reactive oxygen species production and antioxidant defenses, contributing to cellular damage.Telomeres act as protective DNA caps that shorten with cell divisions, serving as a hallmark of biological aging; sirtuins are master regulators influencing aging processes.Hecker's in vitro study showed psilocin dose-dependently extended fibroblast lifespan by 29-50%, lowering oxidative stress below young cell levels and preserving telomeres.In aged mice (equivalent to 60-65 human years), monthly high-dose psilocybin (15 mg/kg) led to healthier appearance, regrown fur, and 80% survival when controls reached 50% mortality after 10 months.Psilocybin's effects may stem from serotonin receptors expressed in many cell types beyond the brain, suggesting broader anti-aging potential; future work explores mechanisms, optimal dosing, and applications for age-related diseases.Fungi like magic mushrooms represent an under-explored "kingdom" for medicine, with psilocybin's durable effects hinting at systemic impacts on aging.Reference Paper:Study: Psilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan and improves survival of aged miceRelated content:Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

”Magic mushroom” edibles sold at smoke shops and other retailers might be missing psilocybin but can contain undisclosed ingredients, according to a joint study published Thursday.    Oregon State University researchers collaborated on the analysis with Rose City Laboratories, a state-certified testing lab in Portland, and the manufacturer Shimadzu Scientific Instruments.   The edibles, including gummies and chocolates, contained caffeine and synthetic psychedelics. Richard van Breemen worked on the research and is a professor of pharmaceutical sciences at OSU.  “Syndelics represent a rapidly growing area of drug design, where medicinal chemists create novel compounds inspired by known psychedelic agents like psilocybin and LSD,” van Breemen said in a press release. He joins us with details of the study. 

Truth, delusion and psychedelic realityDo psychedelics reveal hidden layers of reality, or are we simply tripping?Psychedelics are back in the cultural zeitgeist, this time as a treatment for mental health issues. However, critics argue that psychedelics only work by replacing mental illness with a distorted view of reality - but, is this an accurate assessment? A study from Imperial College London suggests that after taking psychedelics people get better at future life events. Visual acuity is also known to increase, suggesting people become less delusional, not more, when taking psychedelics. Should we see the psychedelic experience as showing us something true about the nature of reality? Or is it merely a distortion?

It seems there are news stories every week about the accelerating pace of innovation in gene therapy, but only about 50 therapies have been approved so far by the US Food and Drug Administration. Our guest today, Dr. Bobby Gaspar, leads a UK-based biotech company, Orchard Therapeutics, that developed one of those treatments using gene-modified stem cells in your blood that self-renew, so a single administration can give you potentially a lifelong effect. “Our approach is about correcting those hematopoietic stem cells and allowing them to give rise to cells that can then correct the disease,” explains Dr. Gaspar.  The therapy in focus is lenmeldy, the first approved treatment for metachromatic leukodystrophy, also known as MLD, a devastating inherited disorder that affects roughly 600 children worldwide. But Dr. Gaspar is optimistic that learnings from Orchard's work on MLD could be useful in treating much more common disorders including frontotemporal dementia, Crohn's disease and others. This highly informative conversation with host Lindsey Smith also explores the importance of newborn screening, community collaboration in advancing clinical trials for rare diseases, and a future in which each gene therapy will be used as a tool for specific applications.  “There will be many gene therapies available, some of which will become the standard of care for certain diseases, but it won't be for every disease.”Mentioned in this episode:Orchard Therapeutics If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

You are in for a dose of inspiration in this episode of Raise the Line as we introduce you to a rare disease patient who was a leading force in establishing the diagnosis for her own condition, who played a key role in launching the first phase three clinical trials for it, and who is now coordinating research into the disease and related disorders at one of the nation's top hospitals. Rebecca Salky, RN, was first afflicted at the age of four with MOGAD, an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system that can cause paralysis, vision loss and seizures. In this fascinating conversation with host Lindsey Smith, Rebecca describes her long and challenging journey with MOGAD, her work at the Neuroimmunology Clinic and Research Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, and the importance of finding a MOGAD community in her early twenties. “There's a sense of power and security when you have others on your side. You're not alone in this journey of the rare disease,” she explains. Be sure to stay tuned to learn about Rebecca's work in patient advocacy, her experience as a nurse, and the three things she thinks are missing in the care of rare disease patients as our Year of the Zebra series continues.Mentioned in this episode:The MOG ProjectNeuroimmunology Clinic & Research Lab at Mass General If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.
