Psychedelic Conversations | Dr. Steven Zeiler - Psychedelic Stroke Recovery #PsychedelicScience2025

Welcome to the Psychedelic Conversations Podcast!

In this episode, Dr. Steven Zeiler, a physician at Johns Hopkins University, shares his groundbreaking research exploring how psychedelics might aid stroke recovery. We discuss the global impact of stroke, the limitations of current therapies, and the brain’s natural “early repair mechanisms.” Dr. Zeiler explains how psychedelics may reopen critical periods of neuroplasticity, offering hope for patients even years after a stroke. Together, we explore the potential of combining psychedelic-assisted therapy with intensive rehabilitation, not only for stroke but possibly other brain injuries. This conversation highlights the future of neuroscience, the importance of set and setting, and the promise of new approaches that could change countless lives.
