Psychedelic therapy is on the verge of reshaping mental health, trauma healing, and human consciousness. This episode reveals what's really happening behind the scenes at the FDA, inside pharmaceutical companies, and within the global movement to legalize MDMA-assisted therapy. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Rick Doblin, PhD, the legendary founder of MAPS and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science. With nearly 40 years leading clinical research on MDMA, psilocybin, and trauma healing, Rick brings unmatched insight into how these compounds are transforming functional medicine, emotional resilience, and neuroplasticity. They break down the regulatory battle over MDMA therapy, the clash between pharmaceutical profit and public benefit, and the urgent need to combine pharmacology with therapy for real results. You'll also learn how psychedelics impact neurohacking, epigenetics, and the default mode network—and why the next frontier of self-transformation may be couples therapy with MDMA. This episode offers critical knowledge for anyone serious about biohacking, trauma release, mental performance, and accessing deeper states of healing. This podcast channel dives into the intersections of psychedelics with fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, and self-quantification—and how altered states can unlock more energy, better relationships, and lasting change. You'll Learn: • Why separating therapy from psychedelics is the most dangerous path forward • How MAPS evolved into a public benefit pharma company—and what went wrong • The real story behind the FDA's rejection of MDMA therapy in 2024 • How MDMA affects neuroplasticity, mitochondria, and trauma recovery • Why group therapy and couples therapy are the future of psychedelic healing • The dangers of overusing ketamine—and how it's being exploited by profit-driven clinics • What the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference will reveal about the future of medicine, spirituality, and consciousness hacking • How psychedelics could reverse epigenetic trauma passed down through generations • The role of default mode network suppression in spiritual experiences and trauma resolution • Why the war on drugs was never about safety—and what a post-drug-war world might look like Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Ram Dass explores the culture surrounding LSD in 1977, and how he has no desire to legislate how other people live their lives.

Episode SummaryThe highly informed and deeply compassionate Amy Emerson joins Jef Szi and the How Humans Work Podcast for a remarkable conversation about the evolving landscape of psychedelics. With her extensive involvement and leadership in the Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Studies (MAPS)* and their multi-year effort to get MDMA approved by FDA as a therapeutic medicine for PTSD. There are few better than Amy who can speak to the state of psychedelics for medical use in society. Not only does Amy share her honest appraisal about FDA drug approval process and members of congress on the Hill, she gives us the little known and fascinating history of MDMA. Some highlights are Sasha and Ann Shulgin's groundbreaking contributions, the reputational damage MDMA suffered in the 90's, the long-game efforts of Rick Doblin and others, the powerful way MDMA works on the brain, and the remarkable promise MDMA has shown to help people suffering with PTSD. Put together as a whole, Emerson offers us a destigmatized and inspiring view of MDMA beyond the common street descriptions of Ecstasy and Molly. From MDMA and the Medical Model, Amy then helps us see the many other use-cases for psychedelics that have a long and varied history. Building on issues of trauma and the importance of spiritually reconnecting with ourselves, we walk through the psychological benefits that can come with right-use of psychedelics.Finally, this conversation opens the visions of what future of psychedelic use in society through thoughtful contexts that track safety concerns and how, much like meditation, these ‘medicines' can have a place in our society like Buddhist and meditation practices have entered our culture. All in all, Breaking the Stigma is a podcast of significance, as it invites us to reconsider our biases around psychedelics at a time when our society is challenged by mental health matters like trauma and the pervasive disconnection from nature and spiritual renewal. ***** About: Amy Emerson is a highly respected leader in the field of psychedelic-assisted therapy. She was Lykos Therapeutics (formerly MAPS PBC) CEO for an important period in advancing MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as a drug with the FDAShe earned a Bachelor of Science in Genetics and Cell Biology from Washington State University and spent the early career involved in roles at pharmaceutical companies, where she contributed to the development of therapies in immunology, oncology, and vaccines .In 2003, she began volunteering with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), assisting with clinical research monitoring.

Il 144° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico - andato in scena al Magazzino Parallelo di Cesena il 24 gennaio 2025 - è stato più affollato del solito, oltre a me c'erano la psicoterapeuta Sara Ballotti, lo psicologo Michele Metelli e la facilitatrice di Respirazione Olotropica Alessandra Spagnoli, entrambi fondatori di Holotropic Italy. Durante la puntata abbiamo parlato degli effetti e del tipo di lavoro che svolge l'MDMA in assetto terapeutico, grazie a osservazioni, esperienze e ricerche svolte all'estero dai tre ospiti. Sono trent'anni che si studia l'MDMA come cura per la sindrome da stress post traumatico – qualche puntata fa intervistai il fondatore di MAPS, Rick Doblin – ma mi pare che in Italia raramente si sia provati a entrare nel merito di cosa succede e come funziona una terapia assistita con MDMA, proviamo a farlo in questa puntata.

Ospite della 131° puntata di Illuminismo Psichedelico è Rick Doblin, fondatore e presidente della Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) ed ex membro del consiglio di amministrazione di Lykos Therapeutics. Insieme a Doblin abbiamo parlato della sua scoperta e del suo rapporto con l'MDMA, di come questo abbia ispirato la nascita di MAPS e le ricerche per consentire un uso terapeutico della sostanza, ma anche di come poi le cose siano andate male, a causa della concorrenza di altre entità che chiedevano fondi per ricerche sugli psichedelici MAPS è stata costretta a generare una costola "for profit", Lykos, che ben presto è diventata un "lupo tra i lupi", e Doblin ha deciso di lasciarla, mostrandosi molto critico con come la nuova entità ha scelto di comunicare ma anche di difendere i risultati della fase 3 dei trial sull'MDMA, bocciati nella scorsa estate dalla FDA.
In this episode, Joe interviews Rick Doblin, Ph.D.: founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and former board member at Lykos Therapeutics, MAPS' public benefit subsidiary. Doblin tells his side of the story: that the FDA's concerns with double blinding not working had been fully addressed ahead of time, that they had negotiated agreements that were no longer agreed to when new FDA employees came on board, that there was a lot of confusion from going back and forth with the FDA on how Phase 3 studies should be designed, and more. He believes that Lykos made a massive mistake in assuming that provable science was more important than public opinion, and that ignoring critics who were saying whatever they wanted caused them to lose control of the narrative – which clearly influenced the advisory committee. While Lykos figures out their next steps with the FDA, MAPS is focusing their attention on what they feel is most important in light of this ruling: better public education and drug policy. He talks about: How there's a bias at the FDA to be harsh: Does automatically saying no just make it look like you're being rigorous? The work of the Dutch government in researching MDMA, and Lykos' odd decision to not highlight any of it Massachusetts' Legalization and Regulation of Psychedelic Substances initiative, and the huge opportunity for progress at the local level Why federal agents at Burning Man work so hard to give tickets to attendees for smoking cannabis Why sharing stories of your positive experiences with psychedelics is so important and more! MAPS has announced that 2025's Psychedelic Science conference will be in Denver, June 16-20, and will have experiential opportunities before and after. For links, head to the show notes page.
Psychedelic scholar, Robert Forte, returned to the podcast to FINALLY set the record straight on MDMA, MAPS and the FDA's recent (and salient) decision to not approve Rick Doblin's MDMA trauma therapy proposal, which the fake alt media community would have us believing is some sort of travesty.

Dr. Richard Miller is my special guest tonight to discuss how top researchers were carrying out experiments with psychedelic drugs under the direction of the government. Embracing the revival of psychedelic research and the discovery of new therapeutic uses, clinical psychologist Dr. Richard Louis Miller discusses what is happening today in psychedelic medicine--and what will happen in the future--with top researchers and thinkers in this field, including Rick Doblin, Stanislav Grof, James Fadiman, Julie Holland, Dennis McKenna, David Nichols, Charles Grob, Phil Wolfson, Michael and Annie Mithoefer, Roland Griffiths, Katherine MacLean, and Robert Whitaker. Dr. Miller and his contributors cover the tumultuous history of early psychedelic research brought to a halt 50 years ago by the U.S. government as well as offering non-technical summaries of the most recent studies with MDMA, psilocybin, LSD, and ayahuasca. They explore the biochemistry of consciousness and the use of psychedelics for self-discovery and healing. They discuss the use of psilocybin for releasing fear in the terminally ill and the potential for MDMA-assisted psychotherapy in the treatment of PTSD. They examine Dr. Charles Grob's research on the indigenous use and therapeutic properties of ayahuasca and Dr. Gabor Mate's attempt to transport this plant medicine to a clinical setting with the help of Canada's Department of National Health. Dr. Miller and his contributors explore the ongoing efforts to restore psychedelic therapies to the health field, the growing threat of overmedication by the pharmaceutical industry, and the links between psychiatric drugs and mental illness.

In this episode, Joe interviews Joanna Kempner, Ph.D.: associate professor in the Department of Sociology at Rutgers University and author of the recently released, Psychedelic Outlaws: The Movement Revolutionizing Modern Medicine. The book profiles the history and groundbreaking work of ClusterBusters, a nonprofit researching and spreading awareness about what someone named Flash discovered decades ago: that for some people, psilocybin and LSD could stop cluster headaches from coming on. Through early internet message board posts and email exchanges between Bob Wold, Rick Doblin, and others, Kempner pieced together their story. And through attending ClusterBusters meetings, she discovered that a lot of the true healing lies in the bonds formed and the hope people find when seeing something new work for a pain for which science has no answer. She discusses: The lack of political will behind something so debilitating: Why is there no funding for this? The importance of patient advocacy and the role of the internet in sharing novel information The difficulty in studying a disease so unpredictable: How do you run a randomized trial when you don't know when a cluster is going to happen? Why the headache community clashes with psychology Concerns over how to ethically combine underground and Indigenous knowledge with above-ground University research and more!

Rick Doblin, Ph.D., is the Founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS). He received his doctorate in Public Policy from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, where he wrote his dissertation on the regulation of the medical uses of psychedelics and marijuana and his Master's thesis on a survey of oncologists about smoked marijuana vs. the oral THC pill in nausea control for cancer patients. His undergraduate thesis at New College of Florida was a 25-year follow-up to the classic Good Friday Experiment, which evaluated the potential of psychedelic drugs to catalyze religious experiences. He also conducted a thirty-four year follow-up study to Timothy Leary's Concord Prison Experiment. Rick studied with Dr. Stanislav Grof and was among the first to be certified as a Holotropic Breathwork practitioner. His professional goal is to help develop legal contexts for the beneficial uses of psychedelics and marijuana, primarily as prescription medicines but also for personal growth for otherwise healthy people, and eventually to become a legally licensed psychedelic therapist. He founded MAPS in 1986, and currently resides in Boston with his wife and puppy, with three empty rooms from his children who have all graduated college and begun their life journeys.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is reviewing MDMA-assisted therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder, which could become the first psychedelic-assisted therapy as early as August. Today, The Common presents the final episode of our three-part series looking at the past, present and future of psychedelics in Massachusetts as a potential ballot question that could lead to the decriminalization of natural psychedelic substances in Massachusetts. Rick Doblin, founder and president of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), is featured in today's conversation. He has led efforts to bring psychedelics back into mainstream medicine, in part by organizing clinical drug trials to get MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD approved by the FDA.

Dr. Matthew Johnson joins Whiz for an explosive podcast covering some of the recent controversy in the psychedelic space surrounding clinical trials and potential bias. Dr. Johnson and Whiz met a couple years ago speaking at the Psychedelic Medicine Coalition along with Tim Ferris and Rick Doblin. Dr. Johnson is one of the world's leading and most published scientists on the human effects of psychedelics and has conducted seminal research in the behavioral economics of drug use, addiction, and risk behavior. Dr. Johnson led critical research at Johns Hopkins, along with Dr. Roland Griffiths, into the healing potential of psilocybin. He and Whiz dig dip into how personal bias can creep into studies, potentially impacting the outcome, when it's not needed to impact positive results. They also discuss how negative results can only help the cause by having an open and honest debate about data, not feelings. BYOB – bring your own Budda if you want – but don't be steered by researchers. Whiz shares how God, religion and spirituality were not part of his ‘pre-trip' prep, but that was the result he experienced.

Welcome back to The Trip Report Podcast, a production of Beckley Waves, a Psychedelic Venture Studio.Today, I am speaking with Rick Doblin, founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS).December of last year was a milestone for Doblin and MAPS, as the organization submitted a New Drug Application for MDMA Assisted Therapy to the United States Food and Drug Administration.Then, in the first week of January, the MAPS Public Benefit Corp announced its rebranding to Lykos Therapeutics and a $100 million Series A financing.Needless to say, it has been a pivotal period in the organization's history and a watershed moment for the revival of psychedelic medicine, science, and policy.In February, the FDA accepted the application and granted a priority review, putting the decision timeline at August of this year.That's just around the corner.And so much is still up in the air—of course the big question—will the FDA grant approval? But also so many granular details that will have significant downstream effects on the commercial rollout, access, and cost.* What language will be on the drug label? * What will the Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy entail? * How will patients be able to access the drug? * What will the FDA say about the role of therapy?Among others.So, I wanted to sit down with Rick to talk about it and get his perspective on the organization's evolution, the path ahead, and, most importantly, the many uncertainties that hang in the balance.In this conversation, we discuss:* The importance of therapy in conjunction with MDMA (and his loathing of the acronym MDMA-AT)* The many regulatory and bureaucratic details that go into the FDA's decision and subsequent commercial rollout, including:* Drug labeling* Therapist credentialing * Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategies* The negotiations he's led with the FDA over the last 20 years* Lykos' goal of getting MDMA-Assisted Therapy FDA approved and MAPS' goal of getting MDMA federally legalized* The role of therapist's first-hand experience with MDMA and the regulatory battle of ensuring legal access to this group* His future humanitarian and scientific plansAnd much more.And now I bring you my conversation with Rick Doblin.Listen to the episode on Substack, Spotify, Google or Apple.Credits:* Hosted by Zach Haigney * Produced by Zach Haigney, Erin Greenhouse, and Katelin Jabbari* Find us at thetripreport.com* Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTubeTheme music by MANCHO Sounds, Mixed and Mastered by Rollin Weary This is a public episode.

Break Through: Master Your Default Mode and Thrive by Hosein Kouros-Mehr https://amzn.to/4234lHv Yourdefaultmode.com "Break Through is a fascinating, science-backed exploration of the default mode network (DMN), considered to be the actual location of ‘self' in the brain. Understanding and healing our DMN is a promising way to tackle society's mental health epidemic.” - Rick Doblin, PhD, Founder of MAPS What's stopping you from being truly happy and at peace? Could it be your wandering mind that constantly revisits painful thoughts and bad habits? Scientists now have a name for the wandering mind—the default mode network (DMN), a barrier that can prevent you from enjoying life. Your DMN takes you away from the present moment and encourages you to ruminate on the past and future. This can lead to painful conditions—mental knots—like stress, anxiety, emotional pain, addiction, and depression. Fortunately, you can break through this wall to the blissful peace in your core. Backed by scientific data, Break Through connects the medical and spiritual realms on a journey of inner healing. With a holistic approach, you can master your default mode and rise to your best self. Unlock health, happiness, and inner peace, and open the door to new possibilities that you once deemed impossible.About the author Hosein Kouros-Mehr, MD, PhD is an author and physician-scientist who has spent over two decades in cancer research and drug development. Thanks to his background, Hosein recognized the extraordinary ramifications of a recent scientific discovery: the default mode network (DMN), which encodes the human ego and influences our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Recognizing the profound impact of this breakthrough on self-understanding (both from clinical and personal experience), he wrote "Break Through: Master Your Default Mode and Thrive" to help readers master the DMN and live happier, more fulfilling lives. Hosein is also the author of two futuristic novels, "Extinction 6" and "Project Bodi: Awaken the Power of Insight," that explore the inner workings of the mind. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife and children.

As of this recording, van der Kolk was publishing his last paper and closing down his laboratory, so he looks back on his past: being part of the group who put together the first PTSD diagnosis in the 80s; the early days of psychedelic research and how he discouraged Rick Doblin and Michael Mithoefer from pursuing MDMA research; how the DSM has no scientific validity and was never meant for the diagnosing it's being used for; how science wasn't seeing the whole picture and pushing us mindlessly from medication to medication; and how trauma research has evolved over the years as society learned more about how the mind actually works. He discusses the struggle to validate “softer” sciences; the impracticality and price of the MAPS protocol and the need for more group and sitter/experiencer frameworks; the efficacy of psychodrama and how that plays out in group sessions; his interest in using the Rorschach test more; how rolfing helped him; the problem with diagnosis and people becoming their illnesses; bodywork, somatic literacy, and how disconnected most people are from their bodies; and how, in all the healing frameworks he's explored, he has never seen anything work as profoundly as psychedelic-assisted therapy.

As you can see from the names of the speakers, this was a star-studded event. While this 1992 conference features much talk about the War on Drugs, it is an interesting counterpoint to the conference that was held in Denver earlier this year in which the focus was the scientific importance of psychdelic substances.
Juliana is back to share her critically important work with Healing Breakthrough, where they are working earnestly to lay the groundwork within the Veteran Affairs (VA) for MDMA-Assisted Therapy, which is very likely to be an approved FDA cure for PTSD within the next year. We illuminate the incredible possibility within the veteran community to lead this charge and to be a desperately needed rallying point to unify our fractured nation and global human family. It's time to come together.

In this episode, Joe interviews Federico Seragnoli: coordinator of the ALPS Foundation, psychologist who works with patients undergoing compassionate use treatments with psychedelics, and Founder of the ALPS Conference. This year, the ALPS Conference (which stands for Awareness Lectures on Psychedelic Science) takes place Oct. 27 – 29 at the Bâtiment des Forces Motrices in Geneva – a prime location for a conference due to Switzerland's legality around psychedelics, where any citizen can apply for psilocybin or LSD therapy if they fall into the category of ‘treatment-resistant.' Seragnoli discusses how the conference was originally inspired by an article on the MAPS blog about how to be a psychedelic researcher; and talks about its humble beginnings, its new location, and why it's moved across the country each year. The conference features names like Rick Doblin and Michael Mithoefer, but he's most excited about the smaller size of the event and the panel discussions, which gives attendees a chance to ask questions and hear some real conversations. He discusses the vibrant field of psychedelic therapy and research in Switzerland; the importance of compassionate use and the criteria physicians need to be able to use it; the impact of students creating psychedelic associations at their universities; and Seragnoli's new research: seeing if there is a link between cognitive science and a conceptualization of science – if you can model consciousness off neuroscience, can you model it off how you feel?

In this episode, Joe interviews Deborah C. Mash, Ph.D.: neuroscientist; Professor Emerita of Neurology and Molecular and Cellular Pharmacology at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine; and leading researcher in addiction and brain disorders for over 30 years. She is also the CEO and Founder of DemeRx Inc., a clinical stage drug development company working to advance ibogaine and its active metabolite, noribogaine, for the treatment of opioid use disorder. She talks about the Federal and state complications behind ibogaine research, the need for partnerships between clinics and researchers, what needs to be done to collect much needed Phase II and III ibogaine data, and why this all has to be in partnership with the FDA. And she discusses much more: her story of how studying Cocaethylene led to her finding out about ibogaine; ibogaine and QTc-prolongation; deaths related to iboga and the amount of variables that aren't considered; how the French were essentially using noribogaine in the 1930s; and, as this was recorded at Psychedelic Science 2023, her thoughts on the event and Rick Doblin's opening statement.

For 37 years, Rick Doblin has been pushing the F.D.A. to approve treating post-traumatic stress disorder with MDMA, better known as Ecstasy. He tells Steve why he persisted for so long, why he doesn't like calling drug use “recreational,” and what he learned from his pet wolf.

This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers Magnesium Breakthrough and Calm. Many people are unaware of the benefits of psychedelics when taken in a controlled, clinical setting under the care of a professional. Emerging research has shown promise for healing from trauma, connecting to your partner, and gaining insight into the bigger picture of consciousness and life itself. This week on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Rick Doblin, Ph.D., the founder and President of the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelics (MAPS), to discuss the use of psychedelics, specifically MDMA, as a therapeutic intervention for qualifying candidates with complex mental illness, schizophrenia, PTSD, anxiety, eating disorders, and more.
