Ever wondered how psychedelics can change your life? Or are you just curious to learn more about how psychedelics can be a gateway into expanded consciousness, healing, and more?

In this week's episode, I interview my friend and guest, Dina Burkitbayeva who is a serial entrepreneur and investor in the mental health space. Her fund’s (Forward Vision Fund) investments include ATAI Life Sciences, COMPASS Pathways, The Third Wave among others. Dina is very passionate about supporting companies and institutions building alternative solutions to mental health and helping promote the message that there are more ways to treat mental health than just medication and talk therapy.

Dina runs an investment syndicate on Angelist focused on pre-seed and seed companies in the alternative mental health and higher consciousness companies. She also runs a newsletter focused on latest news and trends in the investment and business aspects of the psychedelics therapeutic space.

In this conversation, we cover the following:

1. What are psychedelics?

2. The most widely used psychedelics like Psilocybin, Ayahuasca, ibogaine and Ketamine

3. Why have they become so popular and which companies to look out for in this space

4. How can they be used to heal mental health and specifically anxiety and depression

5. How you can invest in this space

6. Stories of healing from people who have used them when nothing else worked
