In this thought-provoking episode of Engaging Aging, Erin and Lauren open up a powerful conversation about the emerging role of plant medicine in supporting mental health, cognitive health, and overall well-being—especially for older adults. Joined by Reverend Dr. Leah Linder and Reverend Pam Convoy, experts in plant medicine and therapeutic integration, we explore:

• What plant medicine really is (hint: you may already be using it daily!)
• How psilocybin microdosing is showing promise for anxiety, depression, PTSD, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and more
• The importance of addressing root causes, not just symptoms, in aging and mental health
• Real client success stories, from renewed creativity and calmer moods to improved focus and reduced pain
• Why quality, safety, and integration practices matter when considering plant medicine

This episode shines a light on both the science and the spirituality of these ancient practices, while breaking down stigma and misconceptions. Whether you’re an older adult, a caregiver, or simply curious, you’ll walk away with new insights into how plant medicine may become part of the future of aging well.
