Podcasts about Psilocybin

In this episode, my guest is Robin Carhart-Harris, PhD, distinguished professor of neurology and psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. He is one of leading researchers in the study of how psychedelics such as psilocybin, LSD and DMT can change the human brain and in doing so, be used to successfully treat various mental health challenges such as major depression, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and addiction. He explains how psilocybin induces sustained changes in adaptive brain wiring and cognition. We discuss the key components of safe and effective psychedelic journeys, the role of hallucinations, the use of eye-masks to encourage people to “go internal,” and music, as well as what effective therapist support consists of before, during and after the session (also known as integration). We discuss micodosing vs. macrodosing and how researchers control for placebo effects in psychedelic research. We also discuss the current legal landscape around psychedelic therapies. Psychedelic therapies are fast emerging as powerful and soon-to-be mainstream treatments for medical health disorders, but they are not without their risks. As such, this episode ought to be of use to anyone interested in brain plasticity, mental health, psychology or neuroscience. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

Psychedelic drugs like psilocybin, or magic mushrooms, have been used throughout human history. But it's only in the last few decades that researchers have been examining them as a potential tool for treating an array of mental health issues. Albert Garcia-Romeu, a Johns Hopkins behavioral pharmacology researcher, talks with Stephanie Desmon about his research with psilocybin, the promising outcomes, and how approval and proper regulation could lead to a whole class of psychedelic drugs used responsibly as treatment for mental health disorders.

In this episode of Psychedelics Weekly, Joe and temporary-Colorado-resident Kyle once again record in-person, discussing how psychedelics could change business, the drug war and safe supply, and more.  They cover:  -a Rolling Stone profile on David Bronner, who makes the case for multi-stakeholder capitalism; where businesses are accountable to their workers, customers, the environment, and surrounding Indigenous communities instead of just investors – an idea more people would likely align with after a psychedelic experience;  -The first psilocybin service center in Oregon (EPIC Healing Eugene) finally receiving their license via the Oregon Health Authority; -A man who saw his color blindness improve for four months after a 5g mushroom experience; -Delaware officially legalizing recreational cannabis;  -The opening of 'The Drugs Store' in Vancouver, British Columbia: a mobile store selling drugs illegally as a response to the opioid epidemic and constant influx of untested and laced drugs – the "inevitable result of the government doing nothing" towards offering a safe supply;  -and a survey from the CDC showing that cannabis use among teenagers has declined since legal dispensaries began opening, disproving one of the most common prohibitionist arguments that legalization would only increase use.  And of course, these topics bring on a lot of conversation: how businesses need to be more reflective on how they're operating; concern over if too much regulation is nerfing the world; the human cost of the drug war and the ever-escalating amount of ODs and drug poisoning cases; HPPD and the need for research around psychedelics and vision/perception; why we will always need both clinical access and the recreational underground, and more. www.psychedelicstoday.com

In this episode, I discuss what psilocybin is (chemically) and how it works at the cellular and neural circuit level to trigger neuroplasticity, which is our brain's ability to rewire itself in ways that lead to long-lasting shifts in our emotional, cognitive and behavioral patterns and abilities. I discuss the emerging clinical trial evidence for the use of psilocybin in the treatment of depression, addictions and other psychiatric challenges. I explain the typical duration and phases of a psilocybin journey, the different categories of dosages often used and I explain the importance of set, setting and support when using psychedelics. I explain which groups of people place themselves at great risk by taking psilocybin as well as groups that could benefit, and I highlight the rapidly changing legal and medical landscape around psilocybin. This episode is a thorough exploration of psilocybin from the scientific and clinical literature perspective and ought to be of interest to anyone curious about psilocybin, mental health, neuroplasticity and/or psychedelics more generally.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows! This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track! Check out today's questions:    Christine: Dear Dr. Cabral, Thank you! As my interest in holistic health has grown, I have listened to many podcasts and yours has moved into my favorite spot. You give valuable information and I trust your intentions and integrity. Very inspiring! I did your stress and hormones test, and was able to talk to an IHP. One thing that stood out is that my cortisol levels are high and I should likely avoid intermittent fasting as it is a stress on my body. I am almost 54 years old and still in perimenopause. However, there is a lot of family history of cancer and other disease, I don't want to miss out on the benefits of autophagy. Is it possible to fast and counteract that stress with supplements such as ashwaganda or anything else?   Christine: Dr. Cabral, this is my second question submitted today so I understand if you can't answer it. I wondered if you've ever been able to help people with a phobia to swallowing pills. I am embarrassed to say that I am 54 years old and still need to have food to swallow my vitamins. Imagine my horror when I went to the oral surgeon iand before the procedure could be done, they handed me a huge pill to swallow. They all searched in their lunch.bags for crackers or something, and in the end, I just chewed the pill (yuck) and swallowed it. So many people have tried to help and love to show off when they can swallow a handful of pills at once. I just can't get over this phobia.   Diane: My husband and I are 47 years old. We workout 7 days a week. Everyday we run 2-4 miles, then do a 15 minute rowing interval workout, then do strength training, and then go in the sauna for 20 minutes. Although at times we feel like this intense exercise may be doing more harm than good, we also don't want to short change ourselves and not do everything possible to stay fit and in shape. Are we being less effective by doing as much as we are doing?   Simon: Hi Dr Cabral, I heard recently on a bodybuilding podcast that heavy weightlifting sessions can result in systemic inflammation throughout the body and increased intestinal permeability, and therefore anything you ingest at this time might make its way into the bloodstream. The conclusion was that anything you regularly consume during or immediately after a heavy workout might result in the body forming intolerances to that substance. Is there any validity in these claims? I'm conscious that the things I ingest around workouts (glutamine, fruit, WPI) are staple supplements and foods for me, and I don't want to form intolerance! PS I suffer from intestinal permeability and IBS so this is a particular concern for me. Thanks!   Ryan: First, I would like to thank you for taking the time to provide our community with The Cabral Concept, it's such a wonderful free resource on all things health. Your podcast has helped me in my personal journey as well as helped me learn and be better able to pass on my knowledge to friends and family. My questions have to do with microdosing psilocybin, brain health and neurogenesis. What is your take on it and do you have any strong objections to it, besides the legality? If you were to microdose, would you suggest taking any additional supplements to help, such as the Stamets Stack (psiloybin, lions mane and niacin) or any supplements to support any depleted nutrients? Thanks again!     Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/2640 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Heather Grzych interviews podcaster and psychedelic expert Zach Leary about why such a high percentage of people are turning to psychedelics today to improve their wellbeing, and the importance of using these medicines with ritual and sacredness. Zach explains why your life changes after a psychedelic experience, and why integration is so important, whether you're using LSD, psilocybin from mushrooms, MDMA, ayahuasca or other natural or synthetic medicines in the psychedelic category. They discuss how the psychedelic movements actually led to modern Americans connecting with Indian sciences like yoga, meditation and Ayurveda, despite these medicines often being frowned upon in these communities. They also delve into how technology and AI is being used to recreate famous deceased teachers like Timothy Leary, Ram Dass, Alan Watts, etc.  Heather Grzych is the author of The Ayurvedic Guide to Fertility and the host of the Wisdom of the Body podcast. A board-certified Ayurvedic practitioner, she teaches the Regenerative Fertility Method to support future generations worldwide. Heather is on the board of directors for the National Ayurvedic Medical Association (NAMA) and has been a consultant for doctors, governments, and insurance companies. She offers virtual consultations and programs worldwide. www.heathergrzych.com   Zach Leary is a podcaster,  writer, cognitive dissident, yogi and psychedelic advocate. Growing up in Beverly Hills in the 1980s, he came to realise that the man who often took him to school in the morning and “tossed the ball” in the backyard with him, was not only one of the instigators of the counterculture movement of the 1960s, but also “had a front row seat for some of the most important cultural movements of the late twentieth century.” This led Zach to create a path for himself that's been rich with many different incarnations ranging from digital marketing ace for Apple to futurist to psychedelic integration specialist and advocate. Zach currently hosts The MAPS podcast and has in depth knowledge of psychedelic assisted facilitation, is a trained meditation teacher, a student of bhakti yoga, an IFS enthusiast and expert in the history of psychedelic culture and its many methodologies. Zach is also a facilitator at the Evolution Retreat Center in Negril, Jamaica. Evolution Retreats is a beautiful retreat center that does legal psilocybin retreats using the most modern and effective methodologies available. As an author, Zach's first book “And Now, The Work Begins – Psychedelics in the 21st Century and How to Use Them” will be published by SoundsTrue in late 2023. Books referenced: Obedience to Authority by Stanley Milgram, Ayurvedic Pharmacology and Therapeutic Uses of Medicinal Plants Dravyagunavignyan by Vaidya V.M.

In this episode, I talk about my recent mushroom retreat in Jamaica and the realisations and lessons I took from it. I also give a bit of a life update at the start about where I'm at with my health, the various things I'm working on at the moment and some changes I want to make. 

Inside Medicine with Private Medical ✓ Claim Key Takeaways “So much of mental illness leads to people being isolated for various reasons and being socially isolated makes almost every mental illness worse.” – Dr. Josh WoolleyMeaningful relationships are critical – some studies show isolation is as bad as smoking for health and longevity“Psychedelics induce a state of plasticity; they allow the brain to be changeable temporarily for days or weeks. During that plastic time you can change things about yourself.” – Dr. Josh WoolleyPeople are generally happy with the changes they make after psychedelic therapy but it is best in combination with talk therapy, particularly for mental health useRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgPrivate Medical physicians Dr. Jordan Shlain and Dr. Hadi Halazun are joined by Dr. Josh Woolley, the Director of UCSF's Translational Psychedelic Research (TrPR) Program. Dr. Woolley discusses the program's work to understand how psilocybin and related compounds impact the brain and other organ systems to treat depression, trauma, and other ailments including Parkinsons, bipolar disorder, and lower back pain.

Welcome to this week's episode, where I'll be sharing my personal journey and insights gained from working with various plant medicines, including Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, Peyote, and Ra-pé. In this episode, I emphasize the importance of respecting indigenous practices and ceremonies when working with these powerful tools. I'll reflect on the lessons that are present both during a plant medicine journey and in our day-to-day lives, such as the cyclical nature of life, moving through periods of darkness and light, and the importance of accepting yourself where you are.  We'll dive into my entry into plant medicine through my first experiences with mushrooms and how it opened my eyes to a new way of connecting and understanding the world. I'll explore my experiences with Ayahuasca and emphasize how having a supportive community and tools before entering this sacred space played a crucial role in my journey. I'll also share how I found my voice with Peyote, the magic found in ceremony and ritual, and my clarifying experience with Rapé. Finally, I'll remind listeners to lead with intuition and use plant medicine as an ally in doing the work in the real world. Join me in this episode as I share my personal experience with plant medicine and explore its transformative power.   Highlights: 03:33 My personal themes that come up over and over again when working with Plant medicine  06:15 Accepting where you are in life  06:36 My entry into plant medicine - Psilocybin  10:10 Understanding in an embodied way  11:20 The integration of the ceremony is the ceremony 11:55 My experiences with Ayahuasca 21:40 Respecting the indigenous practices and ceremonies  22:28 Finding my voice with Peyote  28:11 Gaining clarity with Rape´ 30:25 Lead with your intuition, Always 31:31 Plant medicine will only get you so far, you have to commit to doing the work day to day.    Links: Facilitation Training Boundary Course Instagram Website  

Tania De Jong from Mind Medicine Australia joins Mason for another inspiring and informative conversation on the topic of psychedelic assisted therapies. In the time since Tania was last on the show, the TGA, Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration, made the monumental decision to reduce the scheduling of MDMA and psilocybin, two key allies in the successful treatment of drug resistant mental health conditions. The ruling to reschedule these compounds from Schedule 9 Prohibited Substances to Schedule 8 Controlled Drugs is incredibly important for the future of psychedelic assisted therapies, and although their immediate legal application is only indicated for a narrow index of specialised cases; MDMA for drug resistant PTSD and psilocybin for drug resistant depression, it's a huge win for Australia as the front runners in the legalisation of this movement.  Tania relays what these scheduling changes mean for the future of psychedelic assisted therapies, and introduces us to The Healthy Person's Trial, an exciting new research experiment for therapists operating out of The Australian National University in Canberra. Tania shares her personal story with psychedelic assisted therapies, and the experiential journey that lead to the creation of Mind Medicine, the not for profit company she founded with her husband and business partner Peter. Tania speaks with grace and humility, eloquently educating on what's happening on the ground with this movement. A penetrating and illuminating listen for all.  Tania & Mason Discuss: - Why the TGA's decision to schedule the therapeutic application of Psilocybin and MDMA is a big deal. - The future of psychedelic assisted therapy in Australia. - CPAT, Mind Medicine's Certificate in Psychedelic Assisted Therapies course. - The Australian National University's Healthy Person's Trial. - Connection as a key factor in healing from mental health conditions. - Tania's personal experience with psychedelic assisted therapies. - The Mind Medicine's origin story.   Resource guide Tania's WebsiteTania's TED TalkTania's MusicMind Medicine WebsiteMind Medicine Instagram Mind Medicine Facebook Mind Medicine YoutubeCreativity Australia   Mentioned in this episode  Driftwood The Musical Mind Medicine CPAT CourseTania's Heaven On Earth Album   Relevant Podcasts: Psychedelic Assisted Therapies & Mental Health with Tania de Jong (EP#124)   SuperFeast Online Education   Check Out The Transcript Below: https://www.superfeast.com.au/blogs/articles/the-future-of-psychedelic-assisted-therapies-with-tania-de-jong-ep-189

Sam is committed to ending Myco-phobia, changing myco-stigma, and connecting humans through the power of mycelium. As a friend to the fungi kingdom, Sam shares the story of how mushrooms (and not just psychedelic ones) can help us all, and that we, as humans, are in fact, mushrooms. During the podcast Matt and Sam explore the topics of coming to appreciate mushrooms, how Sam became known as "The Fungi", mineralizing & cleansing the body before mushroom ceremony, the effects of Psilocybin, the good to be found in "bad trips", and coming to the creative path, plus much more. Thank you for listening and Mushhhh Loveeee.

In Brasilien lassen sich Menschen von Ayahuasca in einen stundenlangen Rausch befördern. Nicht nur indigene Völker am Amazonas trinken den psychodelischen Pflanzen-Sud, sondern auch immer mehr in den Großstädten. Forschende sehen in Ayahuasca ein wirksames Mittel gegen Depression oder Sucht. Bei uns in Deutschland ist der Wirkstoff wie in vielen Staaten aber verboten. In Australien geht die Regierung neue Weg beim Einsatz psychedelischer Drogen. Dort dürfen Ärzt*innen bald psychisch Kranke mit den Rauschmitteln MDMA und Psilocybin behandeln. Können Rauschmittel gesund machen? Das fragt Podcast-Host Daniel Satra unseren Korrespondenten in Rio de Janeiro, Matthias Ebert, der sich auf die Spur von Ayahuasca begeben hat. Und Jennifer Johnston, Korrespondentin in Singapur, was Australien mit den neuen Drogen-Therapien vorhat.

Pastor Bob Otis describes his own personal faith journey that brought him from a Christian home in Tennessee to a psychedelic church in Berkeley.

Bob Otis is the founding pastor of Sacred Garden Community Church. He outlines its core beliefs, its practices, and the somewhat long path to membership. Then Don Lattin, author of “God on Psychedelics,” describes how worship communities based on psychedelic plants are popping up from Massachusetts to Washington State.

The idea of using psychedelics to treat psychiatric symptoms has been approaching mainstream popularity thanks to podcasters like Joe Rogan, Tim Ferris, and Sam Harris. As interest in these substances continues to grow, so does the size of the online communities centered around this topic. While there is undoubtedly value in recognizing some of the claims being made about microdosing, it's important to recognize where the literature currently stands and to identify where there are gaps in understanding. In this episode, Dr. David Puder and Liam Browning discuss the state of Microdosing in current research. Link to blog here.

My friend Jamie Glowacki is a badass mother. In the rainbow tapestry of influences on my parenting style, Jamie is one of the gorgeous threads. We met over five years ago, when she was a client for another marketing agency I worked with. At that time, she was the foremost respected expert on... drumroll please... potty training. Now, Jamie is an internationally recognized parenting expert. She's the author of the best selling books Oh Crap Potty Training and Oh Crap I Have a Toddler. It turns out that her former careers as circus performer and social worker make her uniquely qualified to deal with toddlers... and poop. And... as her work grew, she realized unhealed trauma in parents vastly affects parenting. She's now committed to helping parents heal that trauma through some pretty unconventional healing modalities. Jamie and I have always had some fun parallels. When I was moving to Costa Rica, she decided to buy a house in the exact community I moved to. We both play and work in the realm of plant medicine and psychedelics. We are both total renegade mamas, navigating the shift from old school to new paradigm parenting. She's got a son, Pascal, much older than my Indy, but who reminds me of what my son could be like as he matures into a young man. We went deep on boundaries, transparent communication with our children, and the importance of healing our trauma. Jamie's in-your-face insight is both empathic and confronting. Check 'er out...

In this episode, Joe lets Court Wing take lead in interviewing two of the leaders behind Clusterbusters: Founder and Executive Director, Bob Wold; and President, Eileen Brewer. A long-time friend of the show, Court Wing has become our resident expert on chronic pain, writing articles about how psilocybin relieved his chronic pain, and hosting Timothy Furnish, MD & Joel Castellanos, MD in their episode about phantom limb pain. Now he speaks with Clusterbusters, a non-profit dedicated to educating people about the horrors of cluster headaches, funding ongoing research into new treatments, and normalizing the miracle that psilocybin has been to so many sufferers in alleviating their headaches.  Wold and Brewer discuss their past struggles (Wold is a cluster sufferer and Brewer has migraine disease) and discovering the amazing intervention of psychedelics; the battles they've gone through in spreading this knowledge; how using psychedelics is also helping people work through PTSD; the barriers that legal psilocybin is creating; the concept of schools having a drug education program; the research looking at cluster headaches and other headache diseases; their creation of the Pain And Psychedelics Association, and more. While cluster headache sufferers have a lot to be frustrated about; as psilocybin becomes more mainstream and more and more research is funded, they now have a lot of hope. www.psychedelicstoday.com

Craig sits down with Ana, a Mexican medicine woman, or curandera. Ana shares a unique perspective and an earned wisdom that is particularly relevant today as we enter a veritable renaissance of plant medicines and psychedelics, while also trying to avoid the rampant mistakes and misuses of the past.Ana works with various medicines, including one that was mentioned in the “The Dark Side of Psychedelics” episode—  that would be Bufo, also known as  5-MeO, or 5-methoxy-DMT.  In contrast with that episode, Ana describes much more mindful and careful use of this powerful compound.The Revolution Will Not Be Psychologized (The Emerald podcast)https://www.buzzsprout.com/317042/12293967-the-revolution-will-not-be-psychologizedBFTA on Instagram. @backfromtheabysspodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/backfromtheabysspodcast/BFTA/ Dr. Hhttps://www.craigheacockmd.com/podcast-page/

In 2020, Oregon became the first state in the nation to allow the supervised use of psilocybin. Voters approved a measure that directed the Oregon Health Authority to develop a program of rules and regulations around the hallucinogen's use.Two and a half years later, the state is now accepting license applications for psilocybin facilitators, service centers, manufacturers and laboratories. The rollout has been rocky at times, with a major trainer for the program going bankrupt and several counties and municipalities opting out of the program. But the state's first facilitators have graduated from training, and the first manufacturing licenses have now been issued.We get an update on the rollout from Angie Allbee, manager of the psilocybin services section at OHA.

For decades, there has been substantial stigma associated with psychedelic drugs. After psychedelics' association with counterculture in the 1960s, much of the medical research into the therapeutic effects of psychedelics was terminated. But over the last 10-20 years, much of the research into the healing powers of psychedelics has resumed. Stemming from this research, many psychedelics companies have emerged and clinics have opened that offer patients the opportunity to experience the powers of such psychedelics. In this episode, we will shift our focus specifically to mushrooms, and its active ingredient psilocybin, as we try to dissect some of our preconceptions regarding its growing use alongside other psychedelics. Matt Zemon joins the podcast. Matt Zemon - https://www.mattzemon.com

A father opens up to Geth about a years long custody battle over his son with his ex. He discusses their decision to co-habitat as platonic roommates for 4 years despite breaking up before their son was even born. He also explains how his use of Psilocybin for cluster headaches was used against him in court.

In this episode of the Psychedelic Coach podcast, Tah Whitty introduces the concept of the Oppression Trap Triangle at The Condor Approach Live In Salt Lake City, Utah, an adaptation of the age-old Drama Triangle. The Drama Triangle comprises the three core human archetypes of the victim, villain, and victor, which are the foundation of human drama and the traps that people get caught up in. Tah introduces the concept of the Oppression Umbrella, which refers to opposing pressure, without the judgment of good or bad. He explains that there are three types of oppression: suppression, repression, and depression, and that it's important to remove any judgment from these types of oppression to understand them more objectively. Moving on to describe the Oppression Trap Triangle, Tah explains the victim is the one who experiences the pressure or is held down, the villain is the one who applies pressure or holds someone down, and the victor is the one who tries to rescue the victim. Tah stresses that it's important to understand the dynamics of the Oppression Trap Triangle and recognize when we are playing one of these roles. He explains that it's easy to get trapped in this triangle, and that it's important to be aware of these patterns and work to break free from them. Tah concludes the episode by encouraging listeners to remove any judgment from their understanding of oppression and to look at it objectively. He emphasizes the importance of understanding these patterns and working to break free from them to live more fulfilling lives. Join us at the next live event https://condorapproach.com/
