Podcasts about psychedelic medicines

In this episode, Joe interviews Lia Mix, LMFT, CPTR: founder and CEO of Delphi, a consulting firm dedicated to the healthy growth of the psychedelic movement. After many years of working in community mental health and 15 years in the commercial health insurance industry (where she helped to establish coverage for autism), Mix was one of the first graduates of CIIS's training program, and after a very distinct MDMA-assisted therapy session, she wondered: “How can I be of service?” She's since helped to launch The Board of Psychedelic Medicines and Therapies, the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association, and Enthea, and is working every day toward a more unified and uniform psychedelic space, with healthcare frameworks, official boards and certifications, consumer protections, and a general consensus that this is our responsibility to manage – not some outside regulator's. So how can we, as a scattered psychedelic community, come together? She discusses: Her path to psychedelics and how nobody was talking about how to bring psychedelics into healthcare The need for a unified code of ethics for any practitioner of psychedelic therapy The FDA, Lykos Therapeutics, and how the recent advisory committee's recommendations on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy were largely based on fear How there actually is a lot of financial possibility if we can all agree on what is absolutely essential right now and more!

Our guest today is Jesse Gould, founder and president of the Heroic Hearts Project, a nonprofit pioneering psychedelic therapies for military veterans. After being deployed as an Army Ranger in Afghanistan three times, Jesse founded the Heroic Hearts Project in 2017 to spearhead the acceptance and use of ayahuasca therapy as a means of addressing the current mental health crisis among veterans. His organization has raised over $350,000 in scholarships from donors including Dr. Bronner's, partnered with the world's leading ayahuasca treatment centers, and sponsored psychiatric applications with the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Georgia. Jesse helps shape treatment programs and spreads awareness of plant medicine as a therapeutic method. He has spoken globally about psychedelics and mental health and was recognized as one of the Social Entrepreneurs To Watch For In 2020 by Cause Artist. Today, he will share insights on the importance of providing access to psychedelic medicines for veterans, the limitations of traditional treatment methods, and the need for a new approach to mental health care that prioritizes healing and community support. SummaryJesse Gould, founder of Heroic Hearts Project, discusses the importance of providing access to psychedelic medicines for veterans struggling with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. He shares his personal journey of seeking help for his own mental health issues and the limitations he faced with traditional treatment methods. Jesse emphasizes the need for a new approach to mental health care that goes beyond symptom management and focuses on healing and integration. He also highlights the importance of community support and the role of psychedelics in addressing ancestral trauma and building emotional resilience. Heroic Hearts Project is a nonprofit organization that educates people about the therapeutic potential of psychedelics and connects veterans and their families to these treatments. They provide support and guidance throughout the entire process, from preparation to integration. The organization also conducts research, advocates for policy change, and aims to reestablish supportive veteran communities. Donations can be made on their website, and veterans can apply for their programs. The goal is to provide veterans with life-saving care and a supportive community to aid in their healing journey.TakeawaysAccess to psychedelic medicines can be critical for veterans struggling with mental health issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety.Traditional treatment methods often focus on symptom management rather than addressing the root causes of mental health disorders.Psychedelics can be a powerful tool for healing and integration, but they require a supportive container and proper preparation and aftercare.The current mental health care system is not effectively addressing the needs of veterans, and there is a need for a new approach that prioritizes healing and community support.Ancestral trauma and emotional resilience play a significant role in mental health, and psychedelics can help individuals explore and process these aspects of their lives.

“I would love for the psychoanalytic world to re-embrace some of these adjunctive treatments that get to non-ordinary states of consciousness in order to enhance psychoanalytic treatment, and that includes psychedelics. The other thing I'd like to see is, I think psychoanalysts are extremely well suited to use psychedelic-assisted therapy in a non-harmful way. I really believe that without an ongoing treatment relationship that these medicines are not going to be quick fixes. There's an article in the Substack blog, Ecstatic Integration, about an Israeli man who had an MDMA treatment for chronic post-traumatic stress disorder and it's a very interesting read, and it really does speak to the crucial aspect of having an ongoing therapy relationship while we use these medicines. I want people who are in the analytic field who are trained right out of the box to provide these containers to be more involved in the psychedelic field. For the psychedelic field I think sometimes I wish they would be a little more humble, a little less zealous about the efficacy, and a little more concerned about what could happen that's harmful. I also think the psychedelic field, for some reason, has not embraced psychoanalysis as a major tool to enhance the medicine."    Episode Description: Charis begins by discussing her inspiration, attributed to Maimonides, for always seeking new understandings to enhance her care of patients. We also begin with a caution - any time we introduce a frame change in clinical work, we must carefully attend to our countertransference to determine the factors that are contributing to our actions. That said, we should be careful to not use our carefulness to rationalize inhibitions to thinking and acting creatively. Charis describes her thinking underlying her decision to introduce ketamine with a particular patient as well as the process of the ongoing psychotherapy. We discuss the practical aspects of this procedure, the risks, the changes in the patient, and the importance of an ongoing psychotherapy to serve as a productive holding and processing space for this work. She concludes with her recommendation to the analytic world to be more open to such adjunctive approaches to therapy and to the psychedelic world to be more modest in their assumptions of its healing ability.   Linked Webinar and Article:  /g/Communications/Ees4tjM0U1lEtzEkVrUmDjgBmH9Vd6wgap_-Z-7BJVXNDw?e=h8Afay&referrer=Outlook.Win32&referrerScenario=email-linkwithembed">https://ipaworld.sharepoint.com//g/Communications/Ees4tjM0U1lEtzEkVrUmDjgBmH9Vd6wgap_-Z-7BJVXNDw?e=h8Afay&referrer=Outlook.Win32&referrerScenario=email-linkwithembed   https://www.ecstaticintegration.org/p/successfully-treating-c-ptsd-with?utm…     Our Guest: Dr. Cladouhos is a child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist and psychoanalyst practicing in Boston, Massachusetts.

Back to the Path of Endless Possibilities with Matt Simpson An author, podcaster, and Microdose Mentor, Matt Simpson is guiding disenchanted high achievers worldwide to discover a path back to a life of passion and possibility as he did. After years of hiding from his unhealed childhood traumas, Matt decided to face his past and heal the trauma that was stopping him from living his dream life. After a profound psychedelic healing experience in the jungles of Costa Rica, Matt was able to move past his crippling addiction, depression, and the childhood-sexual trauma which garbled up his nervous system and nearly killed him. Once healed, Matt left his career running corporate companies in Corporate America to help others with their post-traumatic growth and healing through plant medicines. Now the author of Worth The Fight: Acting for a Better World, A Guide to Spirituality, Psychedelic Medicines, and Overcoming Trauma, Matt helps coach others to maximize the benefit of psychedelic healing to live healthy, happier, strong, service-driven lives. He has facilitated over 100 psychedelic experiences for our veterans to transition them from post-traumatic stress disorder to post-traumatic growth. He donates 100% of the profits of his book to veteran charities to empower psychedelic healing in our warriors further. Listen in as Matt and I sit down and discuss how finally dealing with his childhood traumas helped him discover his passion for helping others do the same and a mission to take care of our veterans that eventually led him to a path of FEARLESS HAPPYNESS!

When Matt Zemon's paths crossed with psychedelics, it was more than just happenstance—it was a rendezvous with destiny that would reunite him with his late mother and herald a journey of self-discovery. Our latest episode brings this bestselling author and psychedelic medicine expert to the mic, where he unravels the narrative of his transformative encounter. Matt eloquently describes how psychedelics can be a gateway to accessing buried emotions, healing from within, and fostering a greater sense of self-worth. His emphasis on creating a sanctuary for these profound experiences is a testament to the careful orchestration needed to turn a psychedelic journey into a cornerstone of personal development.The conversation then transcends personal narrative to examine the burgeoning field of psychedelic research and its promising applications in treating an array of mental health conditions. With the horizon of acceptance broadening, we take a closer look at how ketamine clinics and the potential return of MDMA can revolutionize therapy. The ceremonial aspects of these substances come alive as we discuss their ability to instill a profound sense of interconnectedness and a dissolution of the boundaries that often isolate us in our day-to-day lives. Finally, we wrap up our profound exchange by diving into Matt's literary work, "Psychedelics for Everyone," which breaks down the myriad ways these substances can be harnessed for medical, spiritual, and recreational ends. As we navigate this landscape, we stress the importance of making informed choices and approaching these experiences with both curiosity and caution. This episode doesn't just offer a glimpse into the world of psychedelics—it's a beacon for those seeking to understand and possibly partake in this renaissance of consciousness expansion. Join us as we map out this terrain, offering a hand to those ready to take the leap into the vast and vibrant world of psychedelic exploration.To learn more about Matt:http://www.mattzemon.com/ LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattzemon/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/matt.zemonInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/matt.zemon/ Support the showWe hope you found the episode to be enlightening and insightful.

I began this show in 2021 to discuss the experiences others were having within the realm of psychedelics in order to illuminate for those seekers curious about this realm the many possibilities that exist within it. During the time I have been running the show, I have had the opportunity to hear some truly incredible stories, however, I feel today's episode is one of the best examples of the wild & supernatural occurrences that are possible for all of us within this realm. Today's guest on the show is someone who is dedicated to exploring the many mysteries in life & in doing so, has dedicated himself to the ancient practice of Akhanda yoga not only in his own life but also in how he serves others & has also used his life experiences to create his podcast, the Yoga Connection podcast & also write his book, the Future Life Progression book. In today's episode, we will be diving into the idea of time travel through psilocybin, his thoughts on complimentary practices to assist in experiencing deeper levels of transcendentalism within the psychedelic space & much, much more.

Distinguished Audience, welcome to a very special episode of The Just Dumb Enough Podcast!   The show is officially 2 years old as of today.  So, I figured a great was to celebrate how far we've come is to compile some clips of the guests we've heard from over the last two years. But these weren't picked at random, they are the top 10 most downloaded and streamed episodes from the first two years.   I will note that the competition was very tight between the top ten with only a couple dozen streams separating #1 and #10. Also this is not a list of my favorite episodes, but those which are the most popular within the general listenership, across all platforms.   I do apologize if some of this compilation has sharp cuts between clips, but I've never done this before! It's also just littered with teasers to draw in new audience. But without further ado, let's get this compilation rolling with the number one episode   #1 Kindergarten Teacher with Natalie Parmenter: I'm not sure if it's because this is an education episode on an education podcast, or just general interest, but the Primary Focus host really killed this interview.   #2 Dieting Correctly with Amy Fox: It should come as no surprise that so many of us want to succeed with diets, but my expert really came from a neutral position and blew me away with her simple tips.   #3 Working Dogs with Bob Bryant: This wasn't a cheery episode, but the information about how mistreated and mishandled these Working Dogs are is still really important.   #4 Dental Hygiene with Traci Petry: I might be a little partial, but this will always be one of my favorite guests. She's just such a wonderful and kind lady... also she's my mom. Plus, she gave so much insight on a highly desired job, which was an original intent behind the podcast.   #5 Psychedelic Medicines with Jonathan de Potter: I was worried that the audience who shows up for very professional topics might not receive the topic of drugs particularly well, but it's place in the top 10 shows that there is a broad interest to learn and grow amongst the audience, despite the perception of any given topic.   #6 Modern Caveman Brains with Dr. Betsy Holmberg: Psychology will never not be fascinating to me, and the thought that an outdated brain process might lead to our early deaths earned it's spot on the community's list.   #7 The JFK Assassination with KW Zachary & Sara Peterson: While usually I shoot for the highest audio quality, I love that this true crime slash conspiracy episode has that very on brand audio like I was taking a call from a safehouse.   #8 Blindness with Kevin Lowe: With such a warm personality and a great show of his own, this whole interview was either educational, surprising, emotional or all of the above.   #9 Near Death Experiences with Chris Jankulovski: For a man who has always been on the verge of death, Chris doesn't let it slow him down. And his willingness to push forward carries a lot of lessons. It was honestly hard to cut this one down for the compilation because it's all so compelling!   #10 Reframing Discrimination with Dr. Frank Douglas: I'm a bit surprised to see this recent episode competing so well with others that had more time, but I'm also glad to see that people are coming to the show for information about key issues in society.   And that's the whole top 10 most downloaded!    What do you think? Did your favorite make the list? Did you find a new episode to listen to that you previously skipped? Can you believe it's been two years already?    Time sure does fly working on this show, and I know I couldn't have done it without the amazing listeners that make up this audience. I'm so grateful for each and every one of you who tune in, laugh, learn, and embrace the dumbness.   As far as this episode goes, it was very interesting to put together, and it's something I'd be willing to do more of if you all enjoyed it. Leave a comment to let me know!   Also, let me know what's on your mind by emailing: DumbEnoughPodcast@Gmail.Com or sending a message to any of the social media pages on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or wherever else!   I'd also love to have more listeners on the show if you've got a job, hobbies, or lifestyle that you love to talk about!   Anyway, as we look ahead to year three, you can expect even more dumb questions, laughter, tears, and maybe a few surprises along the way. So stay tuned, and Stay Dumb!

For anyone who has had the opportunity to experience the powers of DMT, you know full well what that experience can bring forth. This being said, for many people, this medicine can create a lot of anxiety as it comes on intense & fast & also, due to the fast & strong nature of it, leave many individuals puzzled as to how to contextualize their experience & how to then integrate from it. Today's guest on the show is a returning guest who is a pioneer in the realms of Cannabis, Psilocybin, Ketamine & DMT & in this episode we will be focusing primarily on his most recent venture, DMTX. DMTX is an extended state DMT experience in which the individual moving through the experience can be brought into the effects of the medicine in a slower, controlled manner & also be kept in that state longer than with other forms, such as when smoking DMT. He has been working on this project for quite some time & his overarching business, The Center For Medicinal Mindfulness, has been a long-time juggernaut in the plant medicine space in helping its clients not only benefit from the powers of Cannabis & now Psilocybin, Ketamine & DMT but also receive training in how to replicate these results for others as well!Show Notes:(01:24) Dan's Bio.(03:39) What is DMT X?(05:42) What are the challenges with DMT?(11:49) How do I contextualize and integrate the experience?(23:26) Who is the final boss?(39:14) Why suffer?(01:14:51) Where you can find Daniel!(01:16:37) One final question…About DanielDaniel McQueen, MA, is a Psychedelic Specialist, Educator, and Author of the book, Psychedelic Cannabis: Therapeutic Methods and Unique Blends to Treat Trauma and Transform Consciousness.

This month, we have a special crossover episode between Pharmacy Focus: Oncology Edition and the Psychedelic Pharmacy podcast. Managing Editor Alana Hippensteele spoke with Anthony L. Back, MD, to learn about research into psychedelic medicine in cancer care and what he sees in the future. As psychedelic medicine comes further into cancer care, pharmacists will play a vital role in the interdisciplinary team to screen and evaluate patients for suitability.

For many of us who have dove into the world of psychedelic medicines, we have experienced the drastic shifts that can happen as a result in our lives. Sometimes these shifts are small & sometimes they are large, however, what I've come to understand is that in all cases, these shifts allow us to benefit from the shedding of one or more of the masks we have been wearing in our lives, leaving us with a purer, richer sense of who & what we truly are. Todays guest on the show is a woman who understands these shifts well & has experienced them firsthand.

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.

Transcendent Experience and the Psychedelic Renaissance: A Conversation with the Co-Founders of the Emory Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality, Part 2Anyone interested in mental health knows about the so-called psychedelic renaissance that has been gathering steam for the last half-decade. Compounds such as LSD and psilocybin lauded for their mind-expanding potential in the 60s, and then demonized for a generation, have returned to the scene with a vengeance, fueled by an increasing number of studies showing the remarkable therapeutic potential of these previously stigmatized substances.While this psychedelic renaissance has been garnering all the headlines, a complimentary and far quieter revolution has also been occurring in medicine, which is the recognition of the importance of spirituality for health and disease. Along with a network of collaborators, the Department of Spiritual Health at Emory Healthcare has played a leadership role in this quieter revolution, training chaplains to implement evidence-based compassion-based practices for both patients and the clinicians who care for them.In the first part of this podcast, Boadie Dunlop, MD, and George Grant, MDiv, PhD, joined host Dr. Charles Raison to provide an overview of the mission and vision of the newly-formed Emory Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality. In this second part of the podcast, Drs. Dunlop and Grant—co-founders of the new center—dive deeper into the role of spirituality in human health in general and in psychedelic-assisted therapy, or PAT, more specifically. A lively discussion ensues around a range of related topics, including spirituality as an evolved human capacity, strategies for enhancing the benefits and minimizing the risks of bringing spirituality more directly into healthcare and the need to explore the role of spirituality in PAT with novel scientific approaches. The podcast concludes with a provocative discussion of whether neurobiological understandings are really required to understand how to optimize the role of spirituality in PAT, or whether spirituality can be taken at face value as a phenomenon worthy of scientific study on its own terms.This episode is Part 2 in a two-part series. Featuring:Dr. Boadie Dunlop, Co-founder of  the Emory Center for Psychedelics and SpiritualityDr. George Grant, Co-founder of  the Emory Center for Psychedelics and SpiritualityHost:Charles Raison, Psychiatrist, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Emory UniversityAbout Emory University's Center for the Study of Human Health:The Emory Center for the Study of Human Health was developed to expand health knowledge and translate this knowledge to all aspects of life – for the individual and populations as a whole.

When we stop to think for a second about just how far psychedelic medicines have come with regards to research, application & popularity, it would be easy to ask ourselves how much farther this realm can expand into, however, as our guests today on the show will open your mind to, we've only just begun seeing the possibilities of what this industry is going to expand into. Stopping by to share their time & wisdom with us today on the show are individuals who are leading way the way when it comes to innovation in the psychedelic space. Within their project Enosis Therapeutics, which is a medical technology & psychedelic research company, they have found a way to be the first to leverage virtual reality to contextually modulate psychedelic therapy to improve treatment outcomes. In addition, they have also created the worlds first in clinic application of augmented psychedelic assisted psychotherapy & in todays episode, we will be diving into how they got into the work they are doing today, what they believe the future of this type of work could look like & much, much more. Show Notes:(2:24) How did Agnieszka and Prash first get into psychedelics?(7:47) How did the idea of using VR in the psychedelic space come to be?(11:49) The first time using psychedlics and VR therapy.(25:30) Using VR therapy with other medicines. (33:03) Making the experience immersive. (44:35) Using new technology and its impact on the psychedelic community. (50:23) What are the goals with VR therapy going forward?(54:53) Where you can reach Agnieszka and Dr. Puspanathan!(57:05) One final question…Join the Highly Optimized Ceremony Circle on Facebook! https://www.highlyoptimized.me This episode was produced by Mazel Tov Media in Quincy, Massachusetts.

Benjamin Lightburn, Co-Founder and CEO of Filament Health points out that up until now, research with psychedelics has been done with synthetically prepared psychedelic substances.  Filament is making a product through natural extraction that results in a medicine containing psilocybin plus over a dozen other active compounds from the magic mushrooms. This natural process does not require any toxic chemicals and can be distributed through non-medical distribution channels to treat a variety of mental health indications. Benjamin explains, "The psychedelics that have been showing a lot of promise recently in modern well-controlled clinical trials are being used for various mental health indications. Depression and PTSD are the ones that are most clinically advanced. But there's lots of very promising research in other areas, such as anxiety, substance use disorders, in particular alcohol use disorder, as well as in the areas of chronic pain, phantom limb pain, fibromyalgia, and things like that. Again, the list of indications for which psychedelic compounds can potentially be efficacious is still not yet known, and it is growing all the time as more research comes out." "Psychedelic medicine is always combined with therapy, so it's referred to as psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. And this means that you'll typically visit a professional, like a psychiatrist, for a number of preparatory sessions before your psychedelic experience. And then, on the day of your psychedelic experience, you actually consume the drug. In our case, we produce oral capsules, which look just like any other capsule, but there are other routes of administration as well." @FilamentHealth #PsychedelicTherapy #NaturalMedicine #Psilocybin #Mushrooms #MagicMushrooms #Microdosing Filament.Health Download the transcript here

Join host Dr. Charles Raison for a lively discussion with Boadie Dunlop, MD and George Grant, MDiv, PhD, co-founders of the ECPS. We hear how the center reflects a fully collaborative effort between perspectives often seen as separate or even conflictual: biomedical psychiatry and spiritual health. Drs. Dunlop and Grant take a deep dive into the many implications of taking the spiritual effects of psychedelics seriously. Among the many topics covered in this podcast, they discuss the role of spiritual experience in the long-term therapeutic benefits of psilocybin, how spiritual experience differentiates psychedelics from standard antidepressants, and how the risk of harm from psychedelic treatment may be increased if the spirituality-related effects of these drugs are not taken seriously.This episode is Part 1 in a two-part series. Featuring:Dr. Boadie Dunlop, Co-founder of  the Emory Center for Psychedelics and SpiritualityDr. George Grant, Co-founder of  the Emory Center for Psychedelics and SpiritualityHost:Charles Raison, Psychiatrist, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Emory UniversityAbout Emory University's Center for the Study of Human Health:The Emory Center for the Study of Human Health was developed to expand health knowledge and translate this knowledge to all aspects of life – for the individual and populations as a whole.

This week on the show, we're going to explore a popular topic emerging in mental healthcare: the potential utility of psychedelic medicines for depression. I speak with expert in this field, Dr. Charles Raison. Dr. Raison is a medical doctor whose research focuses on examination of novel mechanisms involved in the development and treatment of major depression and other stress-related emotional and physical conditions. He is the Distinguished Chair for Healthy Minds, Children and Families and Professor of Psychiatry at University of Wisconsin-Madison as well as the Director of Clinical and Translational Research for the Usona Institute. He shares insights into the current state of psilocybin research and development, including how it is being tested in the clinic to treat depression.

Psychedelics as the Start, and Not the Ending, of the Journey of HealingAfter decades of stigmatization, psychedelic medicines have re-emerged onto the world stage as the most promising new mental health treatments in a half-century. Our guest for this podcast, Dr. Rosalind Watts, has played an outsized role in these remarkable developments. Dr. Watts is internationally recognized as a leader in the study and implementation of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy. She developed and led the psychedelic-assisted therapy program used in two of the first modern studies of psilocybin for the treatment of depression. More recently, she is the founder of Acer Integration (https://acerintegration.com/), an international, year-long integration community developed for connecting to the self, others, and the natural world. In this podcast we trace Dr. Watts' journey in the psychedelic world, listening to her describe her initial hope that psychedelics might routinely cure mental illness give way to a growing concern that increasingly unrealistic hopes for these medicines were distorting both their risks and benefits. The podcast concludes with Dr. Watts laying out a vision for integrating psychedelics into more holistic ways of promoting mental health and building healing communities.Featuring:Dr. Rosalind Watts, Clinical Psychologist, Founder of Ace IntegrationHost:Charles Raison, Psychiatrist, Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Emory UniversityAbout Emory University's Center for the Study of Human Health:The Emory Center for the Study of Human Health was developed to expand health knowledge and translate this knowledge to all aspects of life – for the individual and populations as a whole.

On today's episode I chat with Payam, a Psychedelic Somatic Internal Family Systems Practitioner who interfaces with various traditional and non-traditional psychedelic compounds in the treatment of trauma and chronic pain.  He collaborates internationally with world-renowned doctors and therapists in the treatment of an underserved population. Additionally, he has presented his work at numerous medical conferences reporting on the nature of pain through the unitary Mind-Body paradigm while also demonstrating how to alleviate pain at the intersection of traditional shamanic psychedelic medicines and Western evidence-based practices.  His work factors in the biopsychosocial and spiritual elements of healing. By acknowledging and addressing the totality of the human experience, he has seen firsthand how it can have a dramatic effect on mitigating the patient's affective experience of pain.  --- Check out Payam's website here: PAYAM and follow him on Instagram @payam_healing. ---- To connect with me, follow me @ifstammy on Instagram and Twitter or on The One Inside Facebook Page.

Nick talks to chemist & patent attorney Dr. Andrew Chadeayne, who is the CEO of the psychedelic startup CaaMTech. They discussed: the chemistry of magic mushrooms, including compounds beyond psilocybin, found in many species of psilocybin-containing mushrooms; the so-called entourage effect, the idea that multiple compounds found in plants and fungi might work together in a synergistic fashion to produce specific psychoactive or therapeutic effects; Cannabis and magic mushrooms; DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and novel DMT analogues; how we went from academia, to patent law, to founding CaaMTech; the prospect of developing novel psychedelic drugs, non-hallucinogenic psychedelic drug analogues, and some of the details on how these various drugs differ in terms of their chemical structure.

"I don't think anybody can truly describe the [psilocybin] experience. One can use phrases and words that are common - ineffable, mystical, powerful. All I can say is it was the most powerful experience of my life that I have gone through ever."     "We had another CAT scan in September of last year, in 2021, and it showed another small nodule. My oncologist said, ‘Don't worry, we don't know what it is, it's very small.' But a part of me as a physician and as a cancer patient now thought ‘On no, we've  got another nodule - that means I am stage 4 again'. Before my experience with psilocybin this would have been terribly devastating - to have been given that hope six months ago with no nodules, and now again Stage 4. But now I say ‘Ok, if I have cancer again, it's alright we will deal with it'. While I was somewhat anxious and I was a little bit low in spirits but it wasn't a gut punch."     Episode Description: Pradeep shares with us his journey from initial symptoms of what was diagnosed as a stage 1 cancer to its return as a stage 4 metastatic cancer. Faced with a disturbing depression he entered a clinical trial using one dose of psilocybin in a carefully monitored research setting. He shares with us the "indescribable nature" of his 8-hour psychedelic experience. He then reports on the profound life changes that have remained with him over one year later. His approach to life is characterized less by highs and lows and more by a dependable sense of equanimity even in the face of his ongoing cancer. Though now retired, his wish to share his experience with others is testimony to his ongoing commitment to healing others.    Our Guest: Pradeep Bansal, MD is a recently retired gastroenterologist from Long Island. He is originally from India and was in practice in the New York area for over 25 yrs. Apart from being a physician, he is an avid nature photographer.    Further Listening:  Episode  2: Psychedelic Medicines in a Therapeutic Context with Jeffrey Guss, MD  https://harveyschwartzmd.com/2021/02/26/ep-2-psychedelic-medicines-therapeutic-context/    Episode 23: Psychedelic Psychotherapy for PTSD: New Research with Ingmar Gorman PhD  https://harveyschwartzmd.com/2022/01/28/ep-23-psychedelic-psychotherapy-for-ptsd-new-research-with-ingmar-gorman-phd/    Episode 107: A Psychoanalyst Administers Ketamine with Gita Vaid, MD  http://ipaoffthecouch.org/2022/03/26/episode-107-a-psychoanalyst-administers-ketamine-with-gita-vaid-md/ 

In this webinar, our guests will offer a presentation for chaplains on psychedelic medicines, with a particular focus on psychedelics' potential application for end of life and palliative care (EOLPC) patients. The presentation will include an overview of data on psilocybin therapy for psychological distress in EOLPC. Chaplains served as study clinicians in a recent clinical trial of psilocybin therapy at UCSF, and chaplains are now being included in more trials with EOLPC populations both at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Emory Healthcare. This presentation looks toward a future of greater openness to, and recognition of the benefits of, working with chaplains as the field of psychedelic medicine continues to grow.

Can mysticism and pragmatism co-exist? Is healing from trauma genuinely achievable? What could our lives look like if we found and embraced our flow state? We will be diving into this and so much more today with our guest, Matt Simpson.About Matt:Matt Simpson is the host of the Worth The Fight Podcast and author of "Worth The Fight: Acting for a Better World, A Guide to Spirituality, Psychedelic Medicines, and Overcoming Trauma." Through his podcast, book, and work as an empowerment psychedelic integration coach, he guides people to maximize the benefit of psychedelic healing to live healthy, happier, strong, service-driven lives.Find Matt here:IG @worththefightbookFB @worththefightbookhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/simpsonmattworththefight

Psychedelic drugs were a feature of 1960s counter-culture and the subject of serious medical research from the 1940s onwards. Research was halted after psychedelics were declared dangerous and banned but new research is finding them to be powerful medicine. And, with the coronavirus pandemic in full swing, why are there so few drugs to treat viruses?

Psychedelic drugs were a feature of 1960s counter-culture and the subject of serious medical research from the 1940s onwards. Research was halted after psychedelics were declared dangerous and banned but new research is finding them to be powerful medicine.

“The autobiographical stage [in a psilocybin experience] is where a great deal of important work happens. One of the most important things that happens during this phase is the emergence of what is truly valued by the individual. Consider when there is a cancer diagnosis - it seems that at that point everything about them falls away except their body, their cancer, their chemo, their vomiting and so forth. Their values and relationships often suffer, and the importance of this, the need for this returns [during this autobiographical stage] in a very vivid dynamic almost forceful way.”     Episode Description: We discuss the history of plant medicines over the millennium as well as the recent research into their medical benefits that took place in the 1950s and 60s. We review the current studies on the role of psychedelic therapies with cancer related anxieties, severe depression, addictions and PTSD as well as with eating disorders and obsessive-compulsive conditions. Dr. Guss describes the various levels of transcendence that may occur while using psilocybin and how it may deepen an individual's awareness of the interconnections among living beings. Finally, we review how the careful clinical use of these substances may be usefully applied adjunctively to an ongoing depth psychotherapy.   Our Guest: Jeffrey Guss, MD is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine. He is a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who has been practicing for 30 years. He is active in numerous psychedelic research projects with the NYU School of Medicine and Yale University. He is a graduate of the NYU Postdoctoral Program in Psychotherapy and Psychoanalysis and is a Lead Trainer with Fluence (www.fluence8.com) a teaching center specializing in psychedelic integration. Dr.Guss is interested in studying and developing the relationship between psychedelics and psychoanalysis.
