After discovering that his conventional psychiatric training was inadequate to answer many of his patients' challenges, he took an entire year out to meditate. Finding that meditation alone was also not the answer; he began investigating psychedelic therapy to resolve the root causes of common problems such as depression, anxiety, and insomnia.
