In today’s episode we welcome author, psychiatrist, psychopharmacologist, Julie Holland, MD to discuss why we need connection, how we’ve lost it, how we might find it again, and how psychedelics can help.

Holland takes us on a deep dive into the science behind psychedelic compounds that modulate neuroplasticity and how plant medicines are being used to effectively heal trauma and nurture connection. We discuss:

• How psychedelics rewire the brain
• The role of mindfulness and psychedelics in accessing parasympathetic states
• Hormones and love drugs for bonding, connection, and sexuality
• The power of MDMA to promote healing through connection with others

Listen in now as we explore the exciting research surrounding psychedelic medicine and connection.
