Caitlin Thompson discusses her experiences as a kambo practitioner who has both published scientific research on kambo and learned from Matsés practitioners. We discuss how psychedelic wellness culture has intersected with kambo to create highly structured, often spiritual experiences, despite this being quite different than how many matsés people use kambo. Caitlin is also quite open about the numerous potential issues with Kambo, including environmental sustainability and its lack of ability to fit into a typical drug development framework. We also discuss various potential risks associated with Kambo use and why contextual factors likely play an essential role.

Caitlin's Research:

"Use of Phyllomedusa bicolour poison during kambô ritual: Observational responses, dosage and risk of adverse events."

"The physiological effects of Kambo: A comprehensive review of the peptides found in Phyllomedusa bicolor skin secretion"

Ever wonder what it would be like to go on a mission to Mars? 🚀 In this episode, Dr. Carli Domenico tells us about her experience as a participant in NASA's Human Exploration Research Analog study, which simulates a 45 day flight to Mars. We discuss everything from how NASA selects a team of people to stay in a small box for 45 days to the best space snacks and what pseudo-astronauts listen to. Carli also explains the unexpected parallels between mediation retreats and simulated missions to Mars.
