Big Psych Board Members: Jessica Nielson & Bryan Ebert Discuss Psychedelics for Mental Health

Host Maggie Kirkwood welcomes Big Psych board members Jessica Nielson and Bryan Ebert. Jessica Nielson is a neuroscientist and psychedelic researcher with the University of MN. She also happens to be the lead chair person for the MN Psychedelic Task Force that was put in place by MN Governor, Tim Walz. Jessica talks about her decade long research into psychedelics and we learn about the latest psilocybin studies and results. Both give opinions on what plant medicines (psilocybin, MDMA, LSD, ketamine, etc.) work best for specific mental health issues (depression, PTSD, addiction, anxiety, etc). Bryan discusses his psychedelic therapy practice and we learn that both Jessica and Bryan co-founded the DecriMN Coalition helping to write the executive order with Minneapolis Mayor, Jacob Frye which essentially states that psychedelic medicine will be treated as the "lowest priority" of any offense in Minneapolis, MN.

Ketamine Therapy: Is it the future of Mental Health & Chronic Pain Treatment? | Ep 3

In this episode, we sit down with Angie Hanson, who has battled major depressive disorder for most her adult life, and had hit a roadblock with traditional treatments. Hormone therapy provided relief, but also posed a high risk of stroke, so she was forced to seek alternative treatments. Angie's mental health started to spiral dramatically, and all other methods were failing her, including in-patient hospitalization/treatment. As a last resort, ketamine assisted therapy was suggested and Angie is here to share her life-changing & life-saving experience with what could be the future of mental health and chronic pain treatment. Join us for a candid conversation about resilience, the limitations of conventional methods, and the transformative power of ketamine therapy in offering hope to those who've struggled with in the shadows of depression and chronic pain.
If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about ketamine therapy - please reach out: info@mindsonmushrooms.com. We can provide safe resources and access to professionals. 
Thank you for tuning in - your support means everything.
Cheers to health and happiness,
Maggie
