Timothy Allen speaks with Ioni Appelberg

In this episode, part 2 of 2, Ioni shares his holistic approach to healing, blending alternative therapies like cannabis and psilocybin with traditional medicine to treat conditions such as depression, PTSD, and chronic pain. He emphasizes the importance of mindset, environment, and lifestyle in healing, viewing the body as inherently self-restorative.

The discussion expands into philosophical and societal themes, exploring consciousness, the illusion of reality, and civilization’s decline under fiat currency. Ioni links Bitcoin to a potential societal and spiritual renewal, envisioning it as a step toward a more connected, conscious, and future-oriented humanity.

Ultimately, he advocates rediscovering our shared humanity and embracing existence as the foundation of meaning and growth.

Enjoy the conversation.
