    Dr. Rick Doblin (founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science) returns to Mayim Bialik's Breakdown for one of the most controversial and eye-opening conversations on psychedelics we've had yet.From the shocking experiment where scientists gave MDMA to an octopus, to why ibogaine may be the most powerful AND dangerous psychedelic ever studied, this episode explores the future of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, addiction recovery, policy reform, and human consciousness itself.We break down Trump's new executive order accelerating psychedelic research and what it could mean for the future legalization of psychedelic-assisted therapy in America. Dr. Doblin explains why veterans suffering from PTSD and disabilities have become central to bipartisan support for psychedelics, and why this issue is now reshaping politics on both sides of the aisle.We also dive deep into ibogaine: its mysterious origins, its ability to help reset opioid addiction, its connection to ancestral memory and intergenerational trauma, why it carries serious risks, and why Dr. Doblin still believes its benefits may outweigh the dangers. He also shares his own profound ibogaine experience that helped him confront perfectionism and his fear of death.Dr. Doblin discusses:- How psychedelics help people integrate trauma- Why psychedelics are generally considered non-addictive- Difference between recreational vs therapeutic psychedelic use- Why psychedelic treatment should be customized to each patient- Importance of integration, peer support, and paying attention to dreams after treatment- Measures of success in MDMA-assisted couples therapy- Origins of the opioid epidemic- "Psychedelic churches": How organizations are openly operating under the umbrella of religion- Capitalism vs democratizing the benefits of psychedelic medicine- How a better psychedelic therapy model could be built- Why transparency is critical for science-backed drug policy reform- When psychedelics may realistically enter the open market- Dr. Doblin's long-term vision for a psychedelic-informed publicAs psychedelic research rapidly expands worldwide, this conversation explores the science, politics, risks, ethics, and revolutionary potential behind one of the fastest-growing movements in mental health and medicine!DISCLAIMER: MBB is not providing medical or legal advice.

    Near-Death Experiences, Psychedelics, and the Truth About Consciousness with Dr. Eben AlexanderCan consciousness exist independent of the brain?In this fascinating return conversation, JJ sits down with renowned neurosurgeon, near-death experiencer, and bestselling author Eben Alexander to explore one of the biggest questions facing science, spirituality, and human healing today.Drawing from his own extraordinary near-death experience during a week-long coma caused by bacterial meningitis, Dr. Alexander challenges conventional assumptions about consciousness, memory, healing, and the role of the brain itself.Together, JJ and Dr. Alexander explore the intersection of neuroplasticity, psychedelics, meditation, trauma healing, survival states, and spiritual awakening. They discuss why so many people remain stuck despite years of therapy, why conventional psychiatric approaches may fall short, and what practices can help people access deeper states of transformation.This conversation dives into the profound possibility that healing may not come from fixing the brain—but from reconnecting to the greater consciousness beyond it.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why Dr. Alexander believes consciousness is not created by the brainWhat his near-death experience revealed about life, death, and the soulThe surprising science behind psilocybin and ego dissolutionHow meditation and psychedelics may affect the brain's default mode networkWhy fear of death can keep the body trapped in survival modeThe connection between healing, consciousness, and neuroplasticityWhat near-death experiences consistently teach about love and purposeThe role of meditation in expanding awareness and intuitionScientific evidence supporting non-local consciousnessHow childhood wounds, identity, and ego influence our experience of realityWhy personal experience often changes people more than data alonePractical ways to begin exploring consciousness for yourselfKey Takeaway"The deepest lesson from near-death experiences is remarkably simple: Love is what matters. How we treat ourselves and others is ultimately the most important thing."Resources Mentioned

You're moving forward, but you feel like something is standing in the way of your progress. You're reaching for something but feel like it's out of your grasp. Your energy feels stuck. Maybe you could benefit by shaking up your nervous system.

    Our Summer in the Cities tour hits Glasgow, where rain-slicked streets, pub jukeboxes, and all-night clubs blur into a sound that is spiritual, scrappy, and just a bit strange. From gospel rave lift-offs to shimmering stadium dreams, Don and Dude dig into two records that lock Glasgow's grit, melancholy, and imagination into vinyl.The AlbumsPrimal Scream – Screamadelica (1991)Screamadelica catches Primal Scream right as they trade jangly guitars for a heady blend of acid house rhythms, gospel choirs, and dubby studio haze. It feels like a full night out in musical form, moving from joyful, communal peaks to bleary comedowns and ambient drift, all while keeping Glasgow heart and rock soul at the center.Simple Minds – New Gold Dream (81–82–83–84) (1982)New Gold Dream... finds Simple Minds stepping into a luminous, synth-rich sound that feels both glamorous and spiritual. Tight grooves, chiming keyboards, and Jim Kerr's incantatory vocals turn city streets, romantic longing, and big-picture searching into one glowing, hypnotic dream.Diggin' AlbumsCrown Lands – Apocalypse (2026) Modern Canadian prog epic packed with towering riffs, sci-fi storytelling, and a 19-minute title track that pushes their Rush-inspired sound into full-on cosmic saga mode.Nazareth – Hair of the Dog (1975) Gritty Scottish hard rock classic built on thick riffs, snarling vocals, and barroom swagger, capped by the title track and their slow-burning take on "Love Hurts".Ed O'Brien – Blue Morpho (2026) Psychedelic-tinged alt rock from the Radiohead guitarist, exploring change and emotional healing with spacious guitars and gently trippy textures.Bruce Hornsby – Indigo Park (2026) Piano-driven, genre-blurring songs that meditate on memory and time, bringing together rock, jazz, and friends from across his long career.Follow & SupportFollow the show on Instagram, Facebook, Threads, and Bluesky @albumnerds, and support the podcast by subscribing, rating, reviewing, and sharing it with another music obsessive who still loves hearing whole albums front to back.“Glasgow is a brilliant city.

    You are not overreacting. Your nervous system is not broken. It is doing exactly what it learned to do in environments where threat was the norm. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof close out Season Five with one of the most important and least understood concepts in complex trauma: emotional flashbacks. Not the cinematic kind, not a sudden memory of a specific event, but the quiet, whole-system state shift that can color an entire day, week, or month in dread, loneliness, shame, and the bone-deep certainty that nothing will ever be okay. The episode opens with a reframe that changes everything: an emotional flashback is not a regression to the past. It is a real-time nervous system state that reorganizes how the brain filters reality. Perception shifts. Interpretation shifts. What feels possible shifts. And because it happens at the level of the whole predictive network, not just a single memory, it does not feel like the past. It feels like now. It feels like truth. Elisabeth and Jennifer trace exactly how this works through the lens of neuro somatic intelligence, constructed emotion theory, and the science of predictive processing. They explain what neuro tags are and how they get activated, why the amygdala hijack model is outdated and what a more accurate understanding of emotional flashbacks actually looks like, and why calling these states irrational or disordered misses the point entirely. The nervous system is not malfunctioning. It is preparing for threat based on what it has reliably learned to expect. Both hosts share vivid and honest personal examples. Elisabeth describes a recent subtle flashback triggered by being sick, underresourced, and feeling unsupported by her partner, and how quickly the narrative spread to her business, her relationships, and her sense of being completely alone. Jennifer shares the story of a red hummingbird feeder in her backyard that unlocked an entire somatic memory of loneliness and isolation she had not yet consciously connected to childhood. The episode also addresses something practitioners often ask about: how to tell the difference between emotional dysregulation that needs regulating, and an emotion that needs to be felt and moved through. The answer is not a clean line but a question of capacity, flexibility, and what the nervous system can hold in that moment. This is the final episode of Season Five and a natural bridge into Season Six, where Jennifer and Elisabeth will be expanding the lens from individual healing to collective nervous system dynamics, cultural structures, and what becomes possible when this work moves beyond the personal.

    In this thought-provoking episode of Shrinks Rap, yours truly, Dr. James Bramson, sits down with Janis Phelps—clinical psychologist, professor, and founder of the Center for Psychedelic Therapies and Research at CIIS — to explore one of the most fascinating, hopeful, and controversial frontiers in modern mental health treatment: psychedelic-assisted therapy for addiction and emotional healing.As public enthusiasm for psychedelics accelerates faster than a Silicon Valley startup pitch deck, are we entering a genuine new era of recovery—or another cycle of overpromising and magical thinking? Dr. Phelps brings decades of experience in clinical psychology, mindfulness, ethics, and therapist training to a nuanced conversation about both the extraordinary potential and very real risks of psychedelic medicine.Janis also discusses her hope that psychedelic experiences can help cultivate a more interconnected “one world, one love” mindset—one that fosters compassion, reverence for nature, and a deeper sense of meaning and belonging. From this expanded awareness of consciousness, she believes people may become more attuned not only to their own healing, but also to the ecological and spiritual crises facing our planet. In short: perhaps healing ourselves and healing the Earth are not entirely separate projects. Heavy stuff—but in a good way.Together, we explore:• What people are getting wrong right now about psychedelics and addiction• The biggest upside—and biggest dangers—for vulnerable patients• Who may benefit most, and who should absolutely avoid these treatments• Whether psychedelics can become another form of emotional escape or spiritual bypassing• Why some profound psychedelic experiences lead to lasting transformation—and others fade quickly• The most common reasons psychedelic treatment fails• What matters most: the medicine, the therapist, or the integration process• Whether a “mystical experience” is actually necessary for recovery• How clinicians screen for psychosis risk, destabilization, and contraindications• Whether the field is over-promising results to people desperate for healingDr. Phelps also discusses the importance of ethical therapist training, mindfulness, integration, and the intersection of Eastern contemplative traditions with psychotherapy. The conversation balances curiosity with caution, hope with realism, and science with soul—while reminding listeners that psychedelic healing is not magic, but a complex process that depends on careful screening, support, and integration.For clinicians, seekers, skeptics, recovering humans, and anyone interested in the future of mental health and recovery, this episode offers a grounded and deeply human exploration of what psychedelic healing can—and cannot—do.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

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

    In the 200th episode of the Psychedelic Medicine Podcast, Ismail Lourido Ali, JD joins to discuss the future of psychedelic medicine. Ismail serves as MAPS Co-Executive Director and has been actively participating in the drug policy reform movement for over a decade, informed by half a lifetime of diverse personal experience with psychedelics and other substances. In this conversation, Ismail explores the rapidly evolving landscape of psychedelic medicine, reflecting on the field's major milestones, challenges, and future possibilities. He discusses how public perception has shifted over the past decade, the role of state-level psychedelic reforms, and the tensions created by commercialization, overhype, and competing regulatory models. Much of the discussion focuses on the recent federal executive order related to psychedelic research and drug development, including what it may mean for FDA approval timelines, right-to-try access, rescheduling, and public health standards. Throughout, Ismail emphasizes that psychedelics are not a "silver bullet," but tools that require strong systems of care, thoughtful policy, and community support to be integrated responsibly into healthcare and society.   In this episode, you'll hear: How public attitudes toward psychedelics have shifted over the past decade Major milestones that expanded psychedelic policy reform beyond federal drug approval The promises and pitfalls of increased visibility, commercialization, and hype in the psychedelic field What the recent federal executive order on psychedelics actually does and does not do An explanation of right-to-try laws, FDA approval pathways, and the complexities of rescheduling psychedelic medicines Why maintaining rigorous evidentiary standards is essential for the long-term credibility of psychedelic medicine MAPS' vision for the future of psychedelic access, including regulated adult use, professional education, and community safety infrastructure How psychedelic policy reform could evolve to include broader systems of mental health care, crisis response, and social healing   Quotes: "[Federal funding for psychedelic research] will only be so effective unless there is a massive reinvestment in mental health, harm reduction, and social services that actually ground—and one could say integrate—this medicine into like the continuum of care and the fabric of community that people are actually in." [25:07] "Even though those of us in the psychedelic advocacy field do want to see drugs like MDMA and others be approved by the FDA for medical use in these controlled clinical settings… At the same time, we don't want medical access to be accelerated so much that it's at the expense of public health or consumer protection or an evidentiary standard that other drugs are being held to." [37:59] "Medical professionals are not just prescribing things because they're approved. Many of them want to look at the evidence themselves. They want to look at the clinical trials. They want to understand 'is this the right choice for my patient?' But you can only know if [psychedelics] are being held to a comparable standard." [39:31] "What's MAPS' vision for ten years from now or 40 years from now for that matter? I like to think of it as lots of on ramps and lots of off ramps. It's that people who are seeking access to psychedelics for any beneficial purpose—for their own treatment or healing, for their own spiritual growth, for their personal development, for their for improving of their relationships with their loved ones or with nature or with spirituality, whatever that cosmology is that they hold—that they have safe, responsible methods of doing so."

    You can buy Lanmaoa asiatica at a food market in Yunnan. Cook it thoroughly and it's just a bolete. Undercook it, and roughly 12 to 24 hours later you may spend the next three to seven days seeing hyper-realistic miniature people moving through your environment — documented across three independent cultures, mechanism completely unknown. Ethnobotanist Colin Domnauer (Dentinger Lab, Natural History Museum of Utah) is one of the few people actively trying to understand why. Colin and I get into what's actually documented about Lanmaoa asiatica — the three independent cultural accounts, the unusual onset and duration, and what the phenomenology of the hallucinations themselves suggests about mechanism. We talk about why this mushroom has received almost no formal scientific attention, what studying it would even look like, and what it might reveal about how psychedelic effects are produced in fungi more broadly. There's also a lot we just don't know — and we sit in that honestly.

    In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas sits down with journalist and author John O'Connor to explore the origins of the modern psychedelic movement through the life and legacy of Terence McKenna, one of its most influential and controversial pioneers. Drawing from his new book, A Short, Strange Trip, John examines the infamous 1971 La Chorrera experiment in the Amazon and the ideas that helped shape today's growing fascination with psychedelics, plant medicine, and altered states of consciousness. The conversation moves beyond politics and headlines into deeper questions about healing, spirituality, identity, and the human search for truth. John also shares the personal story that inspired his investigation, including his father's struggle with alcoholism and attempts at psychedelic-assisted therapy. Together, Lucas and John explore how hallucinogens evolved from counterculture taboo into a mainstream wellness movement backed by clinical research, venture capital, and legislative reform, while asking an important question: when does subjective experience become accepted as truth? This is a thought-provoking conversation about belief, healing, consciousness, and the growing intersection between spirituality, psychology, and modern culture.

    What begins as healing can become something far darker. Kara Mosher joins Richard Syrett to expose her terrifying descent into psychedelics, spirit guides, astral projection, occult rituals, and entity contact — a journey she now believes opened the door to spiritual deception, psychological collapse, and a battle for human consciousness itself. GUEST: Kara Mosher is the author of Here Comes Trouble and a former psychic medium and occult practitioner who says years of involvement with psychedelics, spirit communication, astral projection, and New Age spirituality led her into profound psychological and spiritual darkness. Today, she speaks openly about spiritual deception, entity encounters, awakening culture, and her controversial decision to walk away from occult practices after becoming convinced she had encountered something deeply malevolent.

    The Baby Boom generation pioneered the counterculture movement of the 1960s so it's not so surprising that 50 years later they are using compounds like psilocybin and LSD with the goal to improve their overall quality of life. ​Today, we get into all of the above with Abbie Rosner, the author of the forthcoming book “Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging.” She researches and writes about how her generation of Baby Boomers is exploring the drugs of their youth to enhance their experience of aging. In "Psychedelics and the Counterculture of Aging," she suggests that the growing underground movement of older adults using psychedelics is helping rewrite the narrative around aging —as a time of healing, growth, spiritual deepening, joyous intimacy, supportive community, and acceptance of the inevitability of death. Abbie is a freelance journalist, writer, and public speaker based out of Washington, D.C., and she has written extensively on older adults, cannabis, and psychedelics for Forbes, Double Blind, and other journals since 2018. Her new book comes out in July 2026. ◘ Related Links Abbie Rosner's website https://www.abbierosner.com/ Johns Hopkins Center for Psychedelic and Consciousness Research https://www.hopkinspsychedelic.org/ NYU Langone Health's Center for Psychedelic Medicine https://bit.ly/4dvwAG6 UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics https://psychedelics.berkeley.edu/ GW Integrative Medicine Podcast Medical Cannabis, Psilocybin, & More Playlist https://bit.ly/3RO8q0Z ◘ Transcript bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

    The ongoing outbreak of hantavirus infections that originated with passengers on the Dutch cruise ship MV Hondius in April has generated concerns across the globe. This very rare occurrence has led to a number of deaths, required quarantining of passengers and prompted emergency responses from public health authorities in multiple countries.  On this episode of Raise the Line from Elsevier, we're tapping the expertise of a leading authority on the subject, Dr. Jamie Childs of Yale University, to provide you with a scientific understanding of hantaviruses and what level of threat is posed by this situation. In short, Dr. Childs believes this is not the start of a pandemic. “The Andes variant involved here is one of the most dangerous hantaviruses, but it is totally controllable with contact tracing.” This timely conversation with host Lindsey Smith is informed by Dr. Childs' decades of hantavirus research as well as learnings from his role leading the CDC's environmental investigation during the landmark 1993 hantavirus outbreak in the Four Corners region of the American Southwest. And be sure to stay tuned to hear his concerns about the factors complicating containment of the current Ebola outbreak in East Africa. Note: this conversation was recorded on May 19th, 2026.

    Social anxiety is often framed as shyness, insecurity, or fear of judgment. But for many people living with complex trauma, social anxiety is a nervous system output shaped by chronic relational stress, sensory overwhelm, hypervigilance, masking, shame, and learned survival patterns.  In this episode of Trauma Rewired, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explore how complex trauma changes social engagement, why connection can feel exhausting, the role of the inner critic and toxic shame, sensory processing, nervous system overload, people pleasing, social fatigue, masking, emotional suppression, and post-traumatic growth.  We discuss why awareness alone does not create change, how nervous system rehabilitation supports healing, and what becomes possible when safety, capacity, and authentic expression begin to grow. If social situations leave you drained, overthinking, scanning for danger, withdrawing, overperforming, or feeling exhausted afterward, this conversation offers a new lens for understanding why.

    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.

    When no other treatment made a meaningful difference for his severe PTSD, Marine Corps veteran Scott Rush turned to a promising, yet unconventional, option: MDMA-assisted therapy. We first spoke with him five years ago after he took part in a study using the psychedelic drug, so on this Memorial Day weekend, we're checking back in to hear how he's doing now, and why he says that experience changed the course of his life. Then, we talked with Dr. Jennifer Mitchell, the lead scientist from that same study, about where the science stands today, what concerns remain, and what to make of new efforts to speed up the research.   Learn more about our guest(s): https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/shownotes Join us again for our 10-minute daily news roundups every Mon-Fri!  Become an INSIDER and get ad-free episodes here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/insider Get The NewsWorthy MERCH here: https://www.theNewsWorthy.com/merch Sponsors: Head to Greenchef.com/50NEWSWORTHY and use code 50NEWSWORTHY to get 50% off your first month, then 20% off for two months.

I really needed in that time of my life, I was going through personal crisis and spiritual crisis, I realized all my teachers had been men. Which, I am very grateful to them, but at that point I started really needing female role models, the examples of women who are today in this world doing the spiritual life." –Erica BassaniAbout Erica Bassani:Erica Bassani is a writer based in Italy. A graduate of the Academy of Storytelling in Turin, she spent a year living in a Theravadan Buddhist monastery at the age of 23. Since then, she has turned to female spiritual teachers from diverse traditions to help her navigate her inner journey. She created the Women Awakening Project—an initiative that highlights the wisdom of female spiritual role models and explores spiritual practice through the lens of women's experiences—to share their wisdom and create a bridge between generations of seekers. Bassani is author of Donne che Esplorano il Divino, co-author (with Massimo Bonomelli) of Va Bene Così, and the Italian translator of The Four Noble Truths of Love by Susan Piver. “Women didn't follow their own way of coming to power. They followed more the masculine way, the patriarchal way of getting to power. This, of course, creates a very weird shift inside. It creates suffering ultimately because of a disconnection with where actually is the source of power in us, especially as women, and possibly for men as well. The source of power can be in the heart, can be more embodied and exclusive, more aware of the different parts of the situation instead of this focused way which cuts out many other things, it's a more gentler way.” –Erica BassaniSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

    Julie Piatt is my wife, my partner, and the person I needed sitting across from me for this one. This conversation explores my recent experience with iboga, the root bark medicine used by the Bwiti people of Gabon for thousands of years. We discuss what led me there after decades of recovery and therapy, the confrontational nature of the ceremony, the rebirthing process, the role of the divine feminine, and what has quietly shifted in the aftermath. Julie also weighs in, sharing what she's witnessed from the outside. This one is personal. And I'm glad I finally talked about it. Enjoy.

    Are psychedelics the next big thing?Psychedelics include the drugs LSD, magic mushrooms, peyote, and often ketamine and MDMA too, among others. And some of these drugs have a history of spiritual practice spanning millennia. Then many of these drugs became synonymous with hippies and 60s and 70s counterculture.  But now, psychedelics have new cheerleaders: tech bros and CEOs. So why the rebrand?To get into it all, Brittany is joined by Maxim Tvorun-Dunn, PhD candidate at the University of Tokyo, and Emma Goldberg, business reporter at the New York Times, to discuss what it means that these drugs are getting championed – and sometimes financially backed – by the tech elite, and how might that affect our culture's relationship with psychedelics.This episode originally aired on March 24, 2025.Interested in hearing more of Brittany's series "Losing My Religion?"

    Your relationships are reshaping your biology in ways that diet and exercise alone cannot fix, and the science behind it will change how you think about longevity, metabolism, and what it actually means to be healthy. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Molly Maloof, a physician and one of the most innovative voices in personalized medicine, functional medicine, and human performance. Since 2012, she has advised or consulted for over 50 companies across digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology. She pioneered a course on healthspan at Stanford University and founded Adamo Bioscience, a company dedicated to unlocking the science of love as a pathway to healing and human connection. Dr. Maloof brings a rare combination of clinical depth, biohacking credibility, and entrepreneurial range to one of the most overlooked conversations in longevity. Together, Dave and Dr. Maloof dig into the neurobiology of love and attachment, the hormonal drivers of the sex drive and pair bonding, and how chronic isolation wrecks your metabolism at the cellular level. They explore the cell danger response and how toxic relationships, mold exposure, and trauma can lock your cells into a self-protection mode that blocks healing. They also cover psychedelics as hormetic tools, oxytocin as nature's medicine, the placebo response, peptide therapy for mitochondrial repair and anti-aging, and why regenerative medicine is about to rewrite the rules of human lifespan. If you are serious about biohacking your body from the inside out, this episode is essential. You'll Learn: Why human connection is a biological necessity, not a lifestyle preference, and what isolation does to your mitochondria and metabolism How the three neurobiological drives of sex, romantic love, and attachment are wired into your hormones and what happens when they go wrong What the cell danger response is, why it gets stuck, and which peptides, supplements, and therapies help break the cycle How oxytocin drives wound healing, immune function, and the placebo response Why psychedelics work as hormetic love drugs and how they reproduce the neurobiology of romantic love The top peptides for mitochondrial repair, brain optimization, and telomere biology Why Dave and Dr. Maloof believe we have already reached longevity escape velocity How AI is accelerating precision medicine, protein folding breakthroughs, and the future of anti-aging therapeutics Why fasting, breathwork, neurofeedback, and somatic therapies all converge on the same biological reset mechanism How to build the adaptive capacity and bioenergetic reserves to bounce back from anything Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.com and use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it out - Puori | Go to Puori.com/DAVE or use code DAVE at checkout to get 32% off your Puori Fish Oil subscription.
