Shine Without Shame

Part 2: Sam Vaillancourt is currently an academic researcher in the lab of Boris Heifets at Stanford Medicine. In lab, he studies how MDMA, ketamine, and psilocybin can be harnessed as therapeutics for brain disorders like depression and PTSD.

Sam and I discuss his research with psychoactive drugs in clinical and therapeutic settings as potential tools that may benefit mental health.  We also talk about the possible trends of psychoactive drug use outside of supervised settings and the risks involved.  In part 2 of this conversation, we continue exploring how everyday lifestyle choices can play a role in metal health and overall wellness.  We also briefly examine the role that science plays in society.
