On this episode of Where's the Nuance? by El Niño we're joined by

Alanna Kit, a psychedelic researcher, scientist, & PhD Candidate at the University of Victoria in Medical Sciences & Neuroscience research. Her life's mission is to merge science with mindful consciousness through integrative modalities that target physiological stress responses for the higher purpose of reaching full human optimization, enlightenment, & root longevity.

This episode touches on the changing landscape of psychedelics within the field of medical sciences, focusing on the need to hold these emerging medicines with reverence & a respect to the Indigenous communities wisdom in regards to their usage. Alanna shares the groundbreaking research that highlights the powerful ways in which psychedelics can create 'neurological resets' that can improve cognitive functioning in a myriad of ways.

We also breakdown how dogmatic thinking and narratives can shape & contort wisdom into ideological selling points for wellness capitalism.

This one goes deep, enjoy!
