What if your best days haven't even happened yet? In this episode of Ask Kati Anything, I'm joined by the incredible Amy Edwards—CEO, author, and host of The Amy Edwards Show. At 53, Amy is the happiest she's ever been, but getting here required walking through some of life's darkest valleys. We dive deep into the messy, complicated, and ultimately beautiful process of transformation. Amy opens up about the stigma of being twice-divorced, the "blackout" period of losing her voice during a legal battle, and her unconventional journey through psychedelic healing and sobriety.

But the aftereffect, if it's not being taken care of, is a sense of disconnect from ourselves. So, then we try to fill that hole with all kinds of other stuff that is not authentic to us, that is over consumerism, that is not feeding each other, that is creating all kinds of side effects.” –Thomas Hübl, PhDSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Lynn Marie Morski returns to discuss the fast-evolving science and practical application of psychedelics, for mental health and longevity. We unpack new studies on psilocybin's potential to influence cellular aging—like preserving telomere length—and the promise of non-hallucinogenic neuroplastogens for stroke recovery and mental flexibility. Lynn Marie also gets into why “heroic doses” may be counterproductive and how personalizing your set, setting, and compound may be key to safe and effective outcomes. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about cognitive reinvention, therapeutic psychedelics, and how to make informed, safe choices in this complex field.How long will you live?

Send us a textPharmacology & neurobiology of psychedelics & MDMA, focusing on isomers, sex-specific effects, and mechanisms in animal models. Not medical advice.TOPICS DISCUSSED:Biased agonism: Different drugs activate the same receptor (e.g., 5-HT2A) but trigger varied intracellular pathways, explaining why LSD is psychedelic while similar lisuride is not.Enantiomers & isomers: Mirror-image versions of drugs like MDMA (S and R forms) and LSD (four isomers) often produce distinct effects; only one LSD isomer is psychedelic, for example.MDMA isomer effects: S-MDMA induces stronger head twitches (psychedelic proxy) via serotonin release, and increases dendritic spines in male mice but not females; R-MDMA has somewhat different effects.Sex-specific drug responses: In mice, females show stronger psychedelic effects (head twitches) from psilocybin and DOI at the same dose, but males exhibit greater post-acute benefits like reduced opioid withdrawal.Psilocybin in opioid addiction models: A single dose reduces place preference for oxycodone and withdrawal symptoms in male mice more than females, with opposite spine density effects in reward-related brain areas.Mechanisms beyond 5-HT2A: Psychedelics involve other receptors like metabotropic glutamate receptors, forming dimers with 5-HT2A to enable dual signaling pathways; effects in subcortical regions like nucleus accumbens are 5-HT2A-independent.Clinical implications: Street MDMA may vary in S/R ratios, affecting experiences; clinical trials often use racemic mixtures without weight-adjusted dosing, potentially missing sex differences.ABOUT THE GUEST: Javier Gonzalez-Maeso, PhD is a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Virginia Commonwealth University, with a PhD in medicine from Spain focused on G-protein coupled receptors and human brain studies in depression and addiction.RELATED EPISODE:M&M 230 | Psilocybin & MDMA: Inflammation, Stress & Brain-Body Communication | Michael WheelerSupport the showHealth Products by M&M Partners: SporesMD: Premium mushrooms products (gourmet mushrooms, nootropics, research).

As the number of patients and survivors of cancer grows each year, awareness of the disease's emotional toll—including depression, anxiety, and deep existential distress—is increasingly recognized as a critical aspect of cancer care. In response, psychedelic-assisted therapy is gaining attention as a promising alternative to traditional mental health interventions, providing relief for some patients. To shed light on the patient experience with this treatment, CANCER BUZZ spoke with breast cancer survivor Judy Wight; Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC, executive director of Life with Cancer and Patient Experience at Inova Health System; and Manish Agrawal, MD, cofounder and CEO of Sunstone Therapies, about the human side of psychedelic-assisted therapy, promising existing research, and how it can shape the future of psychosocial care. "It's not that I'm a different person. It's more like I'm becoming the person I was meant to be. And all those layers of trauma and sadness...I've been able to shed a lot of that." – Judy Wight "When I started to learn about psychedelic-assisted therapy, read some of the patient accounts, and see some of the research, I said, 'I've got to learn about this. I think that this could be another tool that would be useful for people in this space where we don't have the perfect answer, and we don't have the perfect treatments.'" – Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC "When I give talks around this, I have an iceberg. Above the iceberg I have chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, and underneath the iceberg I have what's called psychosocial, psycho-spiritual, psychological care. And I think true cancer care is treating everything in the iceberg, not just what's above the water." – Manish Agrawal, MD   Guests: Jennifer Bires, MSW, LCSW, OSW-C, FACCC  Executive Director, Life with Cancer and Patient Experience Inova Health System Fairfax, VA   Judy Wight Breast Cancer Survivor   Manish Agrawal, MD Cofounder and CEO Sunstone Therapies REKINDLE Investigator   This podcast is sponsored by Reunion Neuroscience.   Resources: The REKINDLE Study ClinicalTrials (NCT07002034) REKINDLE Brochure Reunion Neuroscience Adjustment Disorder Associated With Medical Illness: Unmet Needs and Rationale for RE104 as a Novel Psychedelic Therapy Exploring Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy in Oncology Addressing the Psychological Burdens of Cancer on World Mental Health Day Psychosocial Care in Oncology: Advocating for Policy Changes that Improve the Culture of Care Collaborative Care: A Model for Embedding Counseling in Oncology and Palliative Care Spirituality and Cultural Humility: Core Components of Comprehensive Palliative Care Psychosocial Care in Oncology Collaborative Care: A Solution for Increasing Access to Psychosocial Care in Cancer Programs and Practices Scan to learn more about the REKINDLE study:

In this episode, Hunt Priest joins to discuss the intersection of psychedelic experiences and religion. Hunt is the founder of Ligare: A Christian Psychedelic Society and was a participant in the Johns Hopkins/NYU Psilocybin Study for Religious Leaders in 2016. The epiphanies he had at Hopkins forever changed the trajectory of his work and led him to start Ligare in 2021. In this conversation, Hunt Priest reflects on how participating in the Johns Hopkins study reshaped his understanding of Christianity, embodiment, and spiritual experience. Drawing on his background as an Episcopal priest, he explores the deep resonance between psychedelic experiences and Christianity, arguing that non-ordinary states of consciousness have always been central to religious life, even if institutional churches have often marginalized them. The discussion ranges from spiritual emergence and theological disruption to healing, discernment, and the role clergy can play in preparation and integration. Hunt also shares his own profound embodied experience during the study where he encountered Vedic and Upanishadic concepts firsthand. He explains how it ultimately led him to found Ligare, a Christian psychedelic society aimed at bridging psychedelics, healing, and the Christian mystical tradition.   In this episode, you'll hear: Hunt's ideas of how psychedelic experiences connect with Christian sacraments and liturgical practices How psychedelics connect with understandings of religious pluralism and the diversity of spiritual experiences Resources for working through ideas that psychedelic experiences could be sinful or demonic Hunt's thoughts on navigating theological disruption, spiritual emergence, and expanded images of God Why embodiment and bodily wisdom are central to spiritual insight and healing The vital opportunity institutional religion risks missing in the current psychedelic renaissance   Quotes: "I think there's a lot of us [clergy] out there that understand that the spiritual issues that come up with psychedelics are important and need to be tended to in a sensitive way—in an open minded way, an open hearted way." [14:36] "The Church has, over time, taught people to not trust their minds or their bodies. And that's a huge mistake because our bodies keep the score and they also are one of the places we hold wisdom—which was the biggest lesson I got from the first experience I had at Hopkins." [17:39] "That's why the spiritual care professionals could be so important: when these issues, these spirit big spiritual questions or even a collapse of your own theological framework happens, you need help to put it back together. And just like therapy helps us put our emotional life back together, I think a good spiritual director or spiritual advisor—one-on-one or small group work—can help us put our theology back together."

Research on psychedelics has shown that one of the most profound effects of the experience is how it places people in a more vulnerable, highly susceptible state. Along with creating time dilations, this powerful period is also capable of establishing new thought patterns surrounding trauma or addictions. For those who aim to support healing, this moment offers tremendous opportunities to empower individuals and help them reset temporarily or for good. Yet it's that same openness that can be exploited by individuals attempting to manipulate, control, or indoctrinate.   This tension prompted my guest Erica Siegal, a licensed clinical social worker who facilitates psychedelic sessions, to ask, “How do we as facilitators of psychedelic experiences, not create undue influence…?” Erica enrolled in my clinicians' course, a nd we subsequently crossed paths at a Harvard‑hosted psychedelic‑assisted psychotherapy program where I was a speaker. I am honored to have her as a guest on this episode of Cults, Culture & Coercion.   Erica is the founder of NEST Harm Reduction, “an organization focused on psychotherapy, psychedelic-adjacent care, drug education, and consultation for communities and organizations working in high-influence environments.” She has worked for over 15 years in the realm of psychedelic research, behavioral health, community gatherings, and spiritual care settings. She aims to help individuals and organizations reduce harm while preserving autonomy and dignity. Join us for this illuminating interview. Learn more about your ad choices.

As Colorado embarks on its psychedelic experiment, people can now receive psilocybin-assisted therapy at healing centers. The state is also grappling with how to enable therapy with the psychedelic ibogaine, which has shown promise for treating addiction. The use of psychedelic-assisted therapy was a component of Colorado's psychedelic law approved by voters in 2022. We share a conversation from the most recent Aspen Ideas Festival as part of our coverage, "The Trip," about Colorado's psychedelic journey. Krista Tippett, who created and hosts the podcast “On Being,” interviewed Gül Dölen, a psychology professor at the University of California Berkeley and a leader in psychedelics research.

“Climate change is the biggest health threat of our century, so we need to train clinicians for a future where it will alter disease patterns, the demand on health systems, and how care is delivered,” says Dr. Sandro Demaio, director of the WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health, underscoring the stakes behind the organization's first regionally-focused climate and health strategy. The five-year plan Dr. Demaio is leading aims to help governments in 38 countries with 2.2 billion people manage rising heat, extreme weather, sea-level change, air pollution and food insecurity by adapting health systems, protecting vulnerable populations, and reducing emissions from the healthcare sector itself. In this timely interview with Raise the Line host Michael Carrese, Dr. Demaio draws on his experiences in emergency medicine, global public health, pandemic response and climate policy to argue for an interconnected approach to strengthening systems and preparing a healthcare workforce to meet the heath impacts of growing environmental challenges. This is a great opportunity to learn how climate change is reshaping medicine, public health and the future of care delivery.  Mentioned in this episode: WHO Asia-Pacific Centre for Environment and Health If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

What if psychedelics could transform the way we treat trauma, chronic pain, and insomnia? This week, neuroscientist and psychedelic researcher Grace Blest-Hopley joins the show to break down the research on psychedelics and female biology. She discusses how psychedelics work in the brain, and the ways that psychedelic-assisted therapies might be beneficial for women in midlife.

In this nuanced conversation, Jonathan Schecter speaks with Matt Xavier a DJ, therapist, and author. They explore the deep connections between rave culture, DJing, and psychedelic therapy, as well as Matt's book The Psychedelic Dj: A Practical Guide to Therapeutic Music Curation and Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy.Matt unfolds his journey — from decades as a DJ, to becoming a counselor, to writing his book on therapeutic music curation and DJing for psychedelic sessions. Together they talk about what makes DJing an art, how music informs set and setting, and why understanding sound is critical in expanded states of consciousness.Matt demystifies how he curates music for sessions, how he attunes to clients, and why lower doses and attunement often unlock deeper therapeutic insights than chasing peak experiences alone. They also talk about facilitator self‑care, ethics, and how music doesn't just fill the room — it is part of the setting.This is for meditators, facilitators, therapists, seekers, and anyone who believes music can do more than entertain.Listen to learn:• How Matt translates dancefloor instinct into session support• Why attunement matters more than playlists alone• How dosage decisions shape the potential for presence• What it takes to be a trauma‑informed facilitator• Music protocols that honor shadow, insight, and integrationFollow Matt: integrativepsychedelics.com | @MattXavierJoin Blue Magic Alchemy on Skool: https://www.skool.com/bluemagicalchemy

Send us a textIn this episode of the WTR Small-Cap Spotlight, host Tim Gerdeman and healthcare analyst Robert Sassoon are joined by Dr. Jim Gilligan, President and Chief Science Officer of Entropy Neurodynamics (ASX: ENP), formerly Tryptamine Therapeutics. Dr. Gilligan explains the motivation behind the company's rebrand and its decision to prioritize three core therapeutic targets: Binge Eating Disorder, Fibromyalgia, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome/abdominal pain. Although Entropy has reported positive Phase 2a results using oral psilocybin across these indications, Dr. Gilligan outlines why the company is shifting its strategy toward developing proprietary IV‑delivered psilocin formulations combined with psychotherapy, beginning with binge eating disorder. The discussion also covers Entropy's work on real‑time EEG and brain entropy as a potential biomarker, the company's financing,  regulatory roadmap, and longer‑term expansion opportunities in areas such as PTSD.

We are delighted to host Dr Ansgar Rougemont-Bücking on this episode of the mangu.tv podcast. Ansgar is a Swiss psychiatrist, psychotherapist, researcher, and author specialising in addiction, traumatic dissociation, and psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. His integrative, transdisciplinary work combines neuroscience, depth psychology, and cultural analysis to examine how unresolved trauma shapes individual and collective behaviour. In his book Vampirocene: How Structural Traumatic Dissociation Is Leading Society into a Spiral of Violence (2023), he proposes the concept of a collective Stockholm syndrome to explain the normalisation of neglect and structural violence. He describes three contemporary traumatic archetypes: the vampire (narcissistic self-exaggeration), the zombie (dehumanisation), and the werewolf (rage born from fear and deprivation). Rougemont-Bücking calls for a "culture of conscience" to move beyond the dynamics of division and oppression characteristic of the Vampirocene toward a more empathetic, caring Anthropocene.Ansgar speaks about his upbringing in Germany and how it influenced his decision to work with psychotherapy and psychedelics. He shares his academic journey, from studying medicine to specialising in neurology and psychiatry. Ansgar speaks about a challenging moment in his life, and his subsequent discovery of holotropic breathwork & psychedelics. He discusses some of the inspiration behind his book, including authors and studies on traumatic dissociation, as well as three traumatic archetypes.

Can Europe Legalize Psychedelic Therapy? In this episode of The Psychedelic Podcast, Paul F. Austin speaks with Théo Giubilei, founder of PsychedeliCare, about how psychedelic therapy could become a public health issue at the European Union level. Find full show notes and links here: https://thethirdwave.co/podcast/episode-340/?ref=278  They discuss how EU policymaking works, why stigma and political risk continue to shape reform, and the challenges of coordinating psychedelic care across multiple healthcare systems. The conversation also explores why patient testimony and citizen-led advocacy may be essential to shifting public health policy in Europe. Théo Giubilei is a Brussels-based mental health advocate and founder of the PsychedeliCare European Citizens' Initiative. A graduate in European Politics and Public Affairs from Sciences Po Strasbourg, he previously worked in European public affairs before dedicating himself full-time to psychedelic policy reform. Since 2022, Théo has led a grassroots coalition across all 27 EU member states working to advance safe, legal, and equitable access to psychedelic therapies as a public health issue.

Have you ever shared an idea, been met with silence, and felt your body instantly brace like something was wrong? Or walked to your car and suddenly felt flooded by an old fear, even though nothing "new" happened? In this episode, we explore how trauma and chronic stress can shift the brain from learning mode into survival mode, shaping what we remember, how we recall it, and how safe it feels to stay curious. You will hear why memory is not a perfect recording, how present-day state influences recall, and how the nervous system can tag even subtle cues, like a pause or a tone, as danger when past experiences taught your body that silence equals disconnection. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof (founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification) and Jennifer Wallace (Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide) are joined by Matt Bush, founder of Next Level Neuro and lead educator in the NSI certification. Together, they unpack explicit vs. implicit memory, how the hippocampus, amygdala, and prefrontal cortex influence recall and learning, and how regulation, sensory inputs, and repetition can support integration and post-traumatic growth.   Timestamps: 00:00 A real-life trigger: when silence, social cues, or context flips the body into survival 08:00 Memory basics: explicit vs. implicit, plus episodic, semantic, emotional, and procedural memory 16:00 Why memory is reconstructive: state, prediction, and sensory integration shape recall 24:00 Trauma + memory: hippocampus, amygdala, and why facts fade while sensations intensify 33:00 Learning after trauma: attention as a nervous system state, and why willpower is not the lever 42:00 Memory reconsolidation and "windows" for updating threat charge with regulation 55:00 Psychedelics, preparation, and nervous system training: capacity, safety, and integration 1:07:00 Motivation, dopamine pathways, and rebuilding curiosity through safe repetition 1:18:00 Closing reframes: contraction and expansion, neurodiversity, and reducing sensory "noise" Key Takeaways: Trauma can disrupt how memories are stored and recalled, especially under high stress, without it being a personal failure. Memory is reconstructive, and your current nervous system state can change how both positive and negative memories feel. Learning is embodied: attention, curiosity, and motivation depend on safety signals in the body, not just mindset. Regulation plus recall can create opportunities to update threat charge and build new predictions over time. Repetition is not just practice. It is consistent exposure to safety while doing something new.

In this inaugural roundtable discussion, I dive headfirst into one of the most contentious topics at the intersection of faith and science: psychedelics and Christianity. As a relatively new Christian myself, I've been wrestling with what believers should think about these powerful substances—especially after interviewing guests whose lives were transformed by psychedelic experiences, including detransitioners who credit these substances with helping them see through lies they'd built their lives upon.I've gathered four fascinating voices for this conversation, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives. Louie Locke, a pastor of 26 years from Reno, Nevada, rates himself a one out of ten—firmly opposed to psychedelic use from a Christian perspective. He explains his concerns about entering the "second heaven" or spirit realm through means other than Jesus, warning of spiritual doors that may be opened through such substances.Cameron English, a science journalist and director of biosciences at the American Council on Science and Health, brings skepticism from both scientific and theological angles, noting the poor quality of research and drawing parallels to problematic harm reduction movements.Daniel Elliot, an Air Force veteran and counselor who has conducted research on psilocybin and spiritual wellbeing, offers a cautious middle ground as a five, distinguishing between natural substances like psilocybin and synthetic ones like MDMA.Dr. Liza Lockwood, an emergency medicine physician and medical toxicologist, presents the highest rating at seven, explaining her interest in the therapeutic potential for treating refractory depression while sharing the fascinating history of ergot poisoning from the Salem Witch Trials to the discovery of LSD.Together we explore the Greek concept of pharmakeia, whether psychedelics might be connected to the tree of knowledge of good and evil, what harm reduction really means in practice, and whether Christians should be involved in psychedelic-assisted therapy settings. This is just the first in a series exploring these questions—questions that don't have easy answers but deserve thoughtful Christian engagement.Books mentioned:-Imagine Heaven and Imagine The God of Heaven by John Burke-The Great Divorce by C.S.

Michael Bogenschutz, MD, explains how psychedelic-assisted treatments may offer new options for patients with severe, treatment-refractory psychiatric conditions. He discusses why standard approaches often fall short for complex cases, how psychedelics like psilocybin and MDMA differ from conventional medications, and what careful screening and clinical structure make these treatments safe and effective.Drawing on randomized clinical trials and years of clinical experience, Dr. Bogenschutz describes how psychedelic treatments can produce durable symptom improvement in disorders such as alcohol use disorder and trauma-related conditions. He also explores unresolved scientific questions, including whether the psychedelic experience itself is necessary for therapeutic benefit.Michael Bogenschutz, MD, is Professor of Psychiatry and Director of the Center for Psychedelic Medicine at NYU Langone Health.▶️ Watch Insights on Psychiatry on YouTube00:00 A Remarkable Case: Sustained Sobriety After Psilocybin Treatment00:39 Introducing Dr. Michael Bogenschutz01:04 Why Psychiatry Is Re-Examining Psychedelics02:50 Safety, Screening, and Managing the Psychedelic Experience03:45 Landmark Trial: Psilocybin for Alcohol Use Disorder06:16 How Psychedelics Work: Neuroplasticity vs. Subjective Experience08:53 Can Non-Psychedelic Analogs Deliver the Same Benefits?11:47 MDMA, Fear Reduction, and Emotional Processing13:44 Who Benefits Most?

Why do psychedelic experiences so often feel spiritual, sacred, or life-changing? Why are mystical-type experiences so closely linked to lasting therapeutic benefit? And why does medicine struggle to talk about them at all?In this episode, we explore the neuroscience and psychology behind mystical experiences in psychedelics. We examine how shifts in brain networks involved in meaning, identity, and self-referential thinking can give rise to experiences of unity, insight, and transcendence, and why these subjective moments may matter more than the drug itself.A grounded exploration of what psychedelic science is revealing about meaning, consciousness, and healing.

Paul Rodgers and drummer Simon Kirke earned success twice. Their first band, Free, was an English blues rock band with great songs, along with the talented guitarist Paul Kossoff, Free became a promising band entering the 1970s. Then they formed Bad Company after Free's demise. Bad Company became one of the best arena rock bands that dominated FM radio throughout the 1970's.

Psychedelics, substances like LSD and psilocybin mushrooms that cause altered states of consciousness, often remind people of hippies in the 1960s. But more researchers are looking into their potential benefits for our well-being. Scientists say psychedelics – which are illegal for recreational use in Canada – could have massive implications on how we treat and heal from major mental health disorders like PTSD, depression and anxiety. Garvia speaks with Dr. Monnica Williams, clinical psychologist and professor at the University of Ottawa, where she is the co-director of the new master's program in psychedelics and consciousness studies. They discuss the latest research and whether psychedelics will, and should, become mainstream. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Most brain decline, mood instability, and impulsive behavior start with a breakdown in how the brain's immune cells produce and use energy. This episode shows how mitochondrial health inside microglia influences cognition, emotion, and long-term brain resilience, and how everyday inputs quietly push those systems toward damage or repair. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work focuses on the intersection of neurology, nutrition, metabolism, and brain health. A Fellow of the American College of Nutrition and member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, Dr. Perlmutter brings decades of clinical and research experience to this conversation on how inflammation and mitochondrial function shape the brain across the lifespan. Together, they explore how microglial cells shift their behavior based on metabolic conditions, and how those shifts influence neurodegeneration, emotional regulation, impulse control, and cognitive performance. The discussion covers real-world inputs that shape these systems, including sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, glucose regulation, gut signaling, environmental toxins, and tools referenced in the episode such as red and infrared light, 40 Hz light and sound, hyperbaric oxygen, lithium, nicotine, supplements, nootropics, GLP-1 agonists, and dietary approaches like carnivore and ketosis. The conversation connects brain biology to lived experience, showing how metabolism influences behavior, decision making, and long-term human performance through a Smarter Not Harder lens. You'll Learn: • How microglia shift between supportive and destructive states and why metabolism drives that change • How mitochondrial function inside immune cells influences inflammation and brain resilience • How inflammation affects the prefrontal cortex, impulse control, and reward-driven behavior • What the episode says about GLP-1 agonists and behavior changes like reduced cravings and gambling • How gut-derived signaling and short-chain fatty acid balance (butyrate vs propionate) relates to brain function • How tools like red and infrared light, hyperbaric oxygen, and 40 Hz light and sound connect to microglia • The lifestyle levers discussed in the episode: sleep optimization, fasting, ketosis, glucose control, and toxin reduction • The compounds mentioned, including lithium, nicotine, urolithin A, CoQ10, rosmarinic acid, and dihydromyricetin Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Fireside Project is a nonprofit that helps reduce the risks of psychedelic experiences through a free support line, coaching, education, and research. In this episode, Joshua White speaks with Psychedelics Today about why real-time support matters, what it takes to run a national hotline, and what Fireside learned after more than 30,000 conversations since launch. White shares how his background as a lawyer and his early hotline volunteering shaped Fireside's model. He also describes how festival harm reduction work, including lessons from Zendo-style support spaces, revealed a major gap: people often need help during an experience and after it ends. A major focus of the conversation is Lucy, Fireside's new voice-to-voice role-play simulator designed to improve psychedelic support skills through low-stakes practice. Early Themes With Fireside Project Joshua White introduces Fireside Project as an accessible safety net for people who are actively having psychedelic experiences or processing past ones. The support line launched on April 14, 2021, and relies on trained community volunteers who commit to a year of service. White explains why anonymity matters. He argues that a phone-based container can make it easier for callers to share vulnerable material without fear of judgment. He also frames service as a key part of integration for volunteers who want to give back or prepare for work in the psychedelic field. Core Insights From Fireside Project White describes the early difficulty of building Fireside from scratch, including legal design, insurance hurdles, training development, and fundraising. He credits seed support from David Bronner and Dr. Bronner's for helping Fireside prove that people would actually use a psychedelic support line. He also explains a key harm reduction point: calling emergency services during a non-medical psychedelic crisis can escalate risk. Fireside aims to help people regulate, re-orient, and stay safer when panic or fear shows up. Key concepts discussed include: The thin line between healing and traumatizing during high-intensity psychedelic states Why callers often need connection, not rescue How volunteer capacity and call volume shape how long conversations run The difference between support during an experience and longer-term coaching support Later Discussion and Takeaways With Fireside Project The conversation then turns to Lucy, a training tool White describes as a "flight simulator" for psychedelic practitioners. Lucy is not part of the live support line. Instead, it offers emotionally responsive role-play scenarios so trainees can practice staying grounded, tracking consent and boundaries, and responding to crisis cues. White also addresses recording and consent. He argues Fireside needs strong training feedback loops to improve safety and quality. He describes an anonymization approach designed to remove phone numbers, strip identifying details, and distort voices while preserving emotional tone. He also explains the post-call option for callers to delete their recorded conversation. Practical takeaways include: Simulation can help trainees stay regulated when intense material emerges Better training can reduce unnecessary diversion to emergency rooms Clear consent language and easy deletion workflows matter for trust Coaching can expand the continuum of psychedelic support beyond therapy  

In this encore episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, psychedelic science researcher and educator Dr. Manesh Girn discusses his studies investigating psychedelic brain action. Manesh earned PhD in neuroscience at McGill University and is an author on over a dozen peer-reviewed articles on psychedelics and related topics. He is also chief research officer at EntheoTech Bioscience and runs the YouTube channel the Psychedelic Scientist.  In this conversation, Manesh discusses his recent article in Trends in Cognitive Sciences titled "A complex systems perspective on psychedelic brain action."He explains the complexity science approach used in the article, which emphasizes the brain is a holistic, interconnected system, rather than individual component networks that can be isolated. From this standpoint, Manesh critiques some simplistic explanations of the neural mechanisms of psychedelics which focus exclusively on interactions with the default mode network isolated from other brain systems. He also explains how individual some of the neural effects of psychedelics are, citing different findings from different studies and observed variations between brain scans of different people. By better understanding these individual differences, and placing these different responses into a complexity science framework, Manesh believes that more individually-tailored psychedelic therapies are possible once the systems involved are more comprehensively understood.  Manesh closes this discussion by explaining the difference between genuine complexity and sheer chaos.  Complexity, he explains, is a delicate balance of novelty and order, which is why psychedelic experiences can be both destabilizing and productive of novel insights and personal transformation.    In this episode: The research into psychedelics and the default mode network Using frameworks from complexity science in psychedelic research Measuring entropy in the brain Differences in neurological effects from taking between different studies and different individuals How a complexity science approach to neuroscience could better inform precision psychiatry   Quotes: "You can't just look at a specific brain region or network [in psychedelic research], you've gotta talk about the brain as a whole, in this sense of seeing the brain as a system of interacting parts." [4:49] "The core idea of this paper is that psychedelics put our brain into this state that is more dynamically flexible, it's more diverse in its activity patterns, and it's more sensitive to inputs that come in." [14:17] "What we find in the brain imaging findings is that different studies disagree, but also if you look at individual people, they can have radically different effects on their brain—almost opposite."

This episode is a deep exploration of purpose, initiation, and what it truly means to live in right relationship with ourselves, each other, and the natural world. I'm joined by Tim Corcoran, founder of Purpose Mountain and co-director of Twin Eagles Wilderness School, whose life's work is devoted to helping people reconnect with their soul-level calling through nature-based mentoring and rites of passage.Tim shares his personal journey from a conventional path in computer science to a life shaped by wilderness immersion, indigenous wisdom, and long-term mentorship. We explore the cultural gap created by the absence of meaningful rites of passage in modern society, and how that absence often leads people to unconsciously create their own initiations through suffering, addiction, or crisis. Tim offers a radically different framework—one rooted in intentional initiation, deep nature connection, and guided vision quests that help individuals discover who they are and why they're here.We also dive into the mechanics and philosophy behind vision quests, including fasting, solitude, mindset, and the importance of preparation and integration. Tim explains why these experiences are not about endurance or bravado, but about presence, humility, and listening—both to oneself and to the living intelligence of the Earth. We talk about mentorship as a reciprocal relationship, resilience as a cultivated capacity, and how true healing often emerges from being witnessed over time rather than chasing peak experiences.This conversation is a powerful reminder that purpose isn't something we invent—it's something we remember when we slow down, step outside, and allow life to speak back.Visit purposemountain.com to sign up for a Vision Quest or Discover Your Purpose mentoring.DISCLAIMER: This podcast is for educational purposes only and not intended for diagnosing or treating illnesses.
