Dr. Sa’ed Al-Olimat, PharmD is the CEO and Founder of Psilohealth, which provides education, supports legislation, and facilitates integration of psilocybin-supported care. 

A Taiwanese-Jordanian first generation American immigrant, he is a licensed pharmacist and educator of psychedelic medicine. He has worked with pharmaceutical companies, prescriber clinics, hospice and palliative care organizations, insurance groups, and other settings to enhance patient care. Dr. Sa’ed is a community-pharmacy manager and mental health advocate. His passion in advancing mental health outcomes led him to investigating psilocybin and other classical psychedelic compounds as tools for mental, spiritual, and emotional support.

Dr. Sa’ed serves as the Vice President of the Psychedelic Club of Pittsburgh, and Co-Founder of the Psychedelic Pharmacists Association, in addition to his role with Psilohealth. He believes in ending the war on drugs and establishing equitable entheogen regulatory frameworks to promote consumer safety, psychedelic integrity, ecological sustainability, sacred reciprocity, and healer inclusivity.

Psilohealth has recently launched the Psilocybin Peer Supporter program , an accessible  course designed for anyone seeking to learn about psilocybin and how to support their peers and community members in the responsible and safe use of psilocybin under a risk-reduction framework. This fills a much needed role in a community-based ecosystem alongside trained clinicians and and healers to support those looking to heal with psilocybin.
