The chapter explores the therapeutic use of psychedelics, focusing on the chemical similarities between psilocybin and serotonin and their impact on brain connectivity. It delves into the speaker's personal experiences in psilocybin and MDMA trials, emphasizing safety precautions and the emotional insights gained with proper support. The discussion also touches on the effects of psilocybin and MDMA on the brain, including the empathogenic component of MDMA and its potential in treating PTSD.
Recently I had the pleasure of hosting a live event in Sydney, Australia. This event was part of a lecture series called The Brain Body Contract. My favorite part of the evening was the question and answer period, where I had the opportunity to answer questions from the attendees of each event. Included here is the Q&A from our event at the Sydney Opera House.
