In this episode we discuss all things psychedelics, in particular:

• Alex shares his powerful psychedelic and breathwork experience
• What psychedelics have the most research, particularly for mental health
• The impact of psychedelics on the gut-brain axis
• How Alex see’s health practitioners, or himself safely integrate them
• Are there any concerns for their use (risks or side effects)
• Who should be avoiding them
• Where is regulation at with psychedelics
• We were so in the moment that we forgot to discuss micro and macro dosing
• And so much more
