In this episode of The New Health Club Podcast, Anne Philippi talks to Myriam Barthes, co-founder and CEO of Journey Clinical — the leading psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy platform in the US, connecting medical teams, licensed therapists, and patients to provide Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).

Myriam shares what it takes to build a company — and become a CEO — in the psychedelic space, an industry that didn't exist a few years ago. We talk about how psychedelics can shift our personality, why sometimes that shift is exactly what we need, and why America is set to become the place where psychedelics break through in the next few years.

Dr. Leor Roseman, Senior Lecturer and Psychedelic Researcher at the University of Exeter, has explore this avenue. His study “Relational Processes in Ayahuasca Groups of Palestinians and Israelis” a few years ago, was fascinating.I read about it in 2021, (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8170481/) and we recorded the first podcast. To me the idea made a lot of sense. Now, with the urgency amid the current situation after October 7th, his work seems more important than ever. In his scientific work Leor examines how psychedelics can serve as peacemaking tools by altering consciousness through a biopsychosocial lens, incorporating neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and phenom enology. With a background at the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, under Prof. Robin Carhart-Harris and Prof. David Nutt, Leor was curious how psychedelics now can deliver a new peacemaking tool. His foundation Ripples, a non-profit dedicated to peace building supported by psychedelics, is now researching new ideas around understanding, without ignoring the actual conflict. The urgency right now is on the Israel and Palestine Conflict. But his work can be valid for other conflicted parties too.
