The Full Plate Podcast with Abbie Attwood, MS Is Psychedelic Therapy a Future Treatment for Anorexia? Exploring the Research with Dr. Marissa Raymond-Flesch
Eating disorders have long been treated through talk therapy, nutrition support, and medication, but what happens when these approaches aren’t enough? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Marissa Raymond-Flesch, a leading researcher exploring the potential of psychedelic therapies as a treatment for anorexia.
We dive into:
The science behind psychedelic therapy and its emerging applications in mental health.
Current research on psychedelics for anorexia and what the early findings suggest.
How psychedelic therapy could complement traditional approaches to eating disorder care.
The ethical and safety considerations surrounding this innovative treatment.
Questions researchers are still asking and the future possibilities in the field.
Whether you’re a clinician, researcher, or someone with lived experience, this episode offers a thoughtful, evidence-based look at a groundbreaking frontier in eating disorder treatment.
