Listen Later

What if healing trauma, reducing stress, and enhancing well-being were possible through nature, meditation, and psychedelics?

Neil Markey, co-founder and CEO of Beckley Retreats, shares his journey from military service to integrative wellness, exploring how psilocybin and holistic practices are transforming mental health.


Main Takeaways:

(1) Traditional pharmaceuticals aren't always the answer. Neil found more success with holistic approaches like meditation after struggling with conventional medications for his post-military challenges.


(2) Psychedelic therapy, when done in controlled settings with proper guidance, shows promise for healing trauma and improving mental well-being, though it's important to understand both benefits and risks.


(3) True wellness requires a multi-faceted approach combining meditation, healthy diet, time in nature, and strong social connections.
