See You On The Other Side

Real talk with Alexa Silvaggio, a yoga and mediation teacher who has turned her practice of being mindful and present into a very unique savory treat.  Alexa owns Ritch Ritual, a full body and mind chocolate experience. Each bar has a QR code on the back that coaches you through a unique one minute breath-work practice designed to get you into your body, and Ritch with presence.

We talk about Alexa's personal journey with psychedelics. How it taught her presence through her mother's passing.  We speak on mindfulness, connection, embodiment, and the how ritual is NOT routine.  But the biggest takeaway from our chat with Alexa, is the importance of being present.  And our favorite Alexa quote ever from her TedX talk... "It's just like this for now."

We found Chloe through #psychedelicTok and immediately loved the content and information she was sharing.  She works for Psygen, a company that manufactures pharmaceutical grade psychedelics for use in clinical trials and research.  Chloe brings science and facts into the psychedelic TikTok space to help reduce some fear and stigma in the plant medicine side of healing.

We talk with Chloe about her personal experiences with trauma and healing.  From being prescribed anti-depressants, amphetamines, and sleep meds, all from one doctor, and feeling completely numb.  To finding a sports psychologist who believed in processing emotions and anxiety over numbing them.  Several years later she was able to safely wean off her medications, and now microdoses and uses psychedelics as needed to manage anxiety and ADHD.

Her first LSD trip led to an awakening of sorts that led her down a different career path, and into psychedelic research.  We talk about the future of psychedelics as medicine.  DMT for post stroke treatments, LSD for pain management and alzheimer's, and Ibogaine for addiction.  We also discuss synthetic vs natural psychedelics.  How it plays into the importance of ethical sourcing.  Why synthetic might be better for anyone with GI issues.  And why plants are too unpredictable and inconsistent to be used in clinical trials.

Dr Stephanie Coleman is a holistic medical practitioner who works primarily with ketamine therapy and consulting in Los Angeles, CA and soon to be Salt Lake City, Utah.  She switched from radiology to ketamine therapy after researching and experiencing the benefits of psychedelics in mental health.

We discuss parts work, or IFS, and how it integrates well into ketamine therapy.  Community in this space, and referring clients to other specialists when needed.  Celebrities and their place in the psychedelic renaissance. And where the future of psychedelics and ketamine is headed.

Stephanie and Jake are cousins, and now business partners, who were quarantined together and became fascinated by fungi during the lockdown of 2020.  The fascination and education turned into experimenting with recipes to create their very own functional mushroom gummies, now called Troop.

Functional mushrooms are NOT psychedelic, but have so many amazing benefits to help you function on a daily basis. We discuss the benefits of lion's mane for brain function, their super troop blend for overall health, and reishi for stress relief. There is literally a mushroom for everything. And they've created an amazing, easy to follow 3 step regime with delicious gummies.

Meet Steve Hupp, a serial bank robber turned Ayahuasca Shaman we had the honor to interview.

After getting caught robbing his 17th bank, Steve ended up in federal prison. During his time there he met a Peruvian Shaman named Guadalupe, who was in prison for an expired Visa. Although Steve's initial plan was to rob him, they became good friends and during their time in prison Guadalupe explained the powers of Ayahuasca, but Hupp didn't think much of it. Then one day, after both were free men, Steve received a package from Guadeloupe with a two liter bottle marked dog shampoo that contained the Amazonian brew. And this is where his transformation began.

Inspired by the healing powers of this psychedlic, Hupp and his wife set up a "church" deep in the Bible Belt of Kentucky, which offers Ayahuasca ceremonies. Kentucky Ayahuasca church attracts people from all over the country seeking healing from all manners of afflictions, including PTSD, depression, addiction, and trauma resulting from physical or emotional abuse. Hupp even has his own 10 episode docu-series about his ceremonies on Vice and Hulu, where you can see firsthand the healing powers of this brew.

Never in a million years did we expect to find such inspiration and profound wisdom from an ex-convict but that's the beautiful thing about psychedelics...any one of us at any given moment has the power to change and heal.

You can watch his docu-series Kentucky Ayahuasca, on Vice or Hulu:  https://www.vicetv.com/en_us/show/kentucky-ayahuasca

Rest in Peace Steve. We are grateful to have met such a beautiful soul, and we know his life will be remembered by all the lives he touched. (October 5, 1965 ~ January 10, 2023)
