Let’s celebrate. This is episode 100! My guest is Jonathan Sabbagh, Co-Founder of Journey Clinical and I talk about normalising Ketamine therapy for all, plus why PTSD can fire up your career - until you realize it is harmful to you. Since a few years I am following Jonathan and his wife and Co-Founder Myriam Barthe’s great work around the idea to build a strong, decentralized network and offerings for KAP (Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy) to empower as much therapists as possible to execute the therapy. They did an incredible and successful job to make Ketamine therapy available and build a strong system in collaboration with therapists and doctors.In this episode is talk to Jonathan about: -how PTSD can give you a skyrocketing career, until you realiize your “energy” is trauma in disguise-how we both were very good in PTSD friendly jobs (banking & media) and left them because we realised our own PTSD -how Journey Clinical helps therapists to support their patients with ketamine therapy, (eventually psilocybin) if they are interested in trying and why normal “therapy” needs a strong transformation What Journey Clinical doesJourney Clinical is on a mission to transform the growing mental health crisis by accelerating the mainstream adoption of legal, evidence-based Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy as the standard of care for mental health, starting with Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy. They have built a leading platform for Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy in the US. They also recently announce a research collaboration agreement with Compass Pathways to inform the development of a scalable delivery and training model for COMP360 psilocybin treatment. Which means, together with Compass, they work on a future delivery model for psilocybin therapy. INFO@journeyclinical @Jonathansabbaghwww.https://www.journeyclinical.com/.

I have the pleasure of speaking with Elise Loehnen, one of my favourite authors whose storytelling resonates deeply with me. We share a journey of realizing the toll of overwork, anxiety, and the pursuit of wellness as a cure-all, only to discover the transformative power of psychedelics.Elise's expertise in content creation was evident during her tenure as the chief content officer at goop, where she co-hosted The goop Podcast and The goop Lab on Netflix. Her role involved spearheading content strategy, including the successful launch of a magazine with Condé Nast and a book imprint. With a Bachelor's degree from Yale, majoring in English and Fine Arts, and a rich media career, Elise brings a wealth of experience to her work.Now based in Los Angeles with her husband, Rob, and their sons, Max and Sam, Elise continues to inspire through her writing and editing. As the host of Pulling the Thread, a podcast with Cadence13, she engages cultural luminaries on pressing questions for our society in featuring notable figures like Dr. Gabor Maté and Dr. Temple Grandin. Despite co-authoring twelve books, including five New York Times Best Sellers, Elise's latest venture, her first book under her own name, "On Our Best Behavior: The Seven Deadly Sins and the Price Women Pay to Be Good," has captured attention as an instant New York Times bestseller.Our conversation naturally gravitates towards psychedelics, exploring the pivotal role MDMA played in Elise's journey, her transformative experiences with 5 MEO Dot, and the evolving landscape of psychedelic exploration in adulthood.”@eliselohenenhttps://www.eliseloehnen.com/https://www.eliseloehnen.com/episodes

Renowned as a world expert in phytochemical extraction technology, Dr. Etminan explores the realm of psychedelics with a particular focus on ancient texts. Dr. Etminan and his team have unveiled neurological health properties in beta-carbolines.

They have combined modern neuroscience with ancient Eastern medicine to formulate 100% natural nootropic supplements that are psychoactive and legal!Magi's products' primary group of compounds are beta-carbolines extracted from the sacred plant, Espand, also known as Syrian rue. Their products promote neuro-longevity, mindfulness, and mental wellbeing. Did you know that Espand has the same psychoactive compounds that exist in the Ayahuasca vine? I'm not relating to DMT, but beta-carbolines. Experience the magic of their supplement, Stard, Magi's meditation supplement, which has been my favorite.

Today I am speaking with Madison Margolin, an author, journalist, editor, consultant, educator, and guide to all things Jewish-Psychedelic. She is the also the former Co-Founder of the Double Blind magazine about the new culture of psychedelics. Her book. Exile and Ecstasy Growing Up with Ram Dass and Coming of Age in the Jewish Psychedelic Underground is pretty fascinating.Exile and Ecstasy sets out to explore the psychedelic path that occupies the crossroads between the Ram Dass movement and Judaism. It’s a path of seeking and escape, rebellion and return, medicine and magic. It’s a path that ultimately points toward home.Through the perspective of having grown up among “HinJews” in the Ram Dass community and in the cannabis legalisation movement, journalist Madison Margolin takes the us on a journey inside New York’s Jewish counterculture and the Hasidic underground, reconciling her roots, tackling ancestral Jewish trauma, and finding intersectionality between the Jewish and psychedelic experience. This book is for anyone looking to feel spiritually kindled, to make peace with where they come from, and to reconcile seemingly disparate experiences of spirituality and psychedelics with traditional religion.I think in these times we live in, books like this are really necessary.https://www.madisonmargolin.com/

Have you thought about changing your mind, I mean really change it? And have you thought about going on a trip? I mean a psychedelic trip? There will be more and more facilities in the future where you can do this in a safe set and setting, also in a legal setting. My podcast is a space were I introduce these places to you and today I am talking to Ingmar de Gooijer, the Founder of Magnolia in the Netherlands.A place which offers individual psychedelic programs. Magnolia supports patients and clients in gaining access to their inner healing intelligence and activating it. After a thorough screening, each patient and client follows a personalized program that includes the administration of a psychedelic substance. Magnolia offers Ketamine therapy for patients under the medical supervision of psychiatrists, psychologists, and physicians in a mental health treatment environment. As well as experiences with psilocybin-containing truffles facilitated by experienced guides. I believe that these experiences will become way more normal in the future, and also destigmatized. Ingmar de Gooijer and I talk about the new type of customer looking for an experience, about the changes psychedelics created in our own lives and about a new idea around personal health care. @mymagnoliawww.mymagnolia.nl/en

Social scientist Rachelle Sampson & Regenerative economist Bennet Zelner are working on a super interesting study and program.Designed for executive leaders facing an increasingly complex world, the Connected Leadership Program explores the potential of psychedelics to unlock greater creativity and resourcefulness for navigating complexity. The program includes an in-person retreat at Kiyumi Retreats in the Netherlands, as well as virtual group and individual executive coaching sessions before and after the retreat. Enrollment is currently open for two cohorts starting in June 2024 and October 2024. This program was developed in conjunction with the Connected Leadership Study, a novel research project led by Rachelle Sampson, Ph.D. and Bennet Zelner, Ph.D., faculty at the University of Maryland’s Smith School of Business who appeared on my most recent podcast episode.
