Episode notes
Placebo Trials For Psychedelics Are Feasible
- Placebo-controlled trials of psychedelics are now possible using creative methods like anesthetizing participants during dosing.
- This raises key questions about whether psychedelic effects need conscious experience to change the brain.
Watch 'Whole Food' Labels For Hidden Sodium
- Avoid foods marketed as 'whole food' if they hide very high sodium by using salty plants.
- Swap sodium chloride for potassium chloride or reduce seasoning to cut sodium intake.
Make Breakfast Smoothies Your Nutrition Base
- Use smoothies to deliver a concentrated, nutritious breakfast that can cover most daily nutrients.
- Add greens and sprouts (e.g., broccoli sprouts) to mask strong flavors while boosting nutrient density.
