What if a tiny, non-hallucinogenic dose of LSD could transform the way we treat depression?


In this episode of Vital Stuff, Dr. Gail Lebovic talks with entrepreneur and investor Justin Hanka about his pioneering work at MindBio, the first company in the world approved to run take-home clinical trials of microdosing LSD.


Justin shares how microdosing is showing remarkable results in treating depression, why New Zealand is leading the global charge, and how unexpected discoveries - like using voice recognition to detect intoxication - could open up an entirely new frontier in health innovation.
