What Psychedelics Really Do To The Brain


Listen Later

Is plant medicine right for me? What are the dangers of psychedelics and their healing potential? In this powerful episode, neurologist and ceremonialist Dr. Maya Shetreat shares the science and soul of psychedelic-assisted therapy, psychedelic treatment for PTSD, and healing through sacred plants.

We explore:
– How psychedelics deactivate the default mode network and open neuroplasticity
– What they don’t tell you about ayahuasca plant medicine
– The difference between microdosing and heroic doses
– How to safely prepare for a plant medicine ceremony
– Working with plant spirit medicine and San Pedro
– The risks of bypassing integration and chasing peak experiences

Dr. Maya also shares her personal story, her son's healing, and how to navigate this path with reverence, safety, and deep transformation.

Whether you're exploring psychedelic therapy, microdosing, or wondering how to prepare for a plant medicine journey — this episode is your grounded guide.
