Nina’s Notes Podcast

The future of headache pain management may be in psychedelics.

While the spotlight has been on using psychedelics for mental health disorders like PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder—with legalization on the horizon in 2024 in the United States—the scope of psychedelic therapies is broadening.

Explore how new research with psychedelics could transform the way we combat migraine and cluster headaches, offering both preventative and instant effective pain relief in my latest Nina’s Notes.

The Western diet has ruined global health.

We now have reports forecasting that more than half of the world’s population will be overweight or obese by 2035. 

That’s a very grim forecast.

The best medicine is a balanced diet with nutrient rich whole foods.

To help, I made a nutrition guide for longevity.

2024 is shaping up to be a groundbreaking year in the world of mental health and technology. 

We may see the first psychedelic-assisted therapy to receive FDA approval in the USA. This will mark a historic shift in psychedelic research and a transformation of mental health treatment. 

The future focus will shift to adoption and scalability. 

Innovative approaches, like integrating VR into therapy, are emerging. This could allow at-home, VR-assisted sessions, broadening access and enhancing the therapy experience.

Check out how companies like Enosis Therapeutics and anuma are leveraging VR for psychedelic-assisted therapy experiences and as a digital therapeutic in my latest newsletter! Sign up to try anuma and join their waitlist.

Psychedelics have applications beyond mental health. 

These "psychoplastogens," are gaining attention for their ability to promote neuroplasticity, and are stepping into the longevity arena, with potential applications in targeting issues like inflammation, oxidative stress, and blood-brain barrier disruption.

Terran Biosciences, a leading CNS-focused biotech company, is spearheading research into psychedelics for longevity with groundbreaking work including developing non-hallucinogenic versions of psychedelic therapeutics for wider clinical use.

Also in this week’s newsletter, I talk about Revolutionizing Mobility & Labor with Exosuits, highlighting exosuits from Verve Motion, ReWalk Robotics, HeroWear and cutting-edge research from Chung-Ang University offers a suit to enhance running speed

Menopause deserves more attention. Ovaries age twice as fast as other body tissues significantly impacting women’s health & longevity. 

Women will spend 34% of their lifetime in poor health due to menopause.

The social, economic and personal empowerment from delayed menopause would have extraordinary implications for every woman’s life and the global economy.

The economic costs of infertility and menopause are staggering, with the menopause market exceeding $14B annually, it is definitely not a “niche” market.

I dive into some of the latest research to delay menopause in my latest Note. Check it out here.
