About this episode

There are so many people quietly suffering through mental health challenges these days. The world is in chaos and nothing seems to make sense. Having the drive, focus, and discipline you need to get after your goals can feel impossible when you're battling depression, anxiety, PTSD, or mood disorders.


Dr. Dan Engle’s background is in integrative psychiatry, peak performance medicine and psychedelic research. His latest book, A Dose of Hope, he hopes to spread greater awareness and information about the value of MDMA which has been highly effective in treating PTSD.


You or someone you care about is quite possibly suffering from PTSD or other mental health problems that more and more research is showing natural plant medicines to be effective in treating.


This conversation is a masterclass on natural plant medicines that treat anxiety, depression and more.

QUOTES:


“I think the experiential side drives the neurochemical side. It’s like the software experience drives the hardware experience.”


“Rescuing somebody from their suffering may just be robbing them from their greatest teacher.”


“Suffering isn’t the only way of learning, slowing down, and getting in touch with who we are.”


“If I’m only going for the truth, I’m trying to bypass the feeling, then I may not be moving it through to a process of resolution.”


“It’s recognizing the power of these medicines, who’s safe and ready to work with them, how do you prepare them really well to get ready for that experience, how do you try to optimize the efficacy of that experience itself…”
