202. Dylan Beynon, Founder & CEO of Mindbloom

Today, I'm joined by Dylan Beynon, founder & CEO of Mindbloom, a psychedelics-assisted therapy platform. After discovering the transformative potential of psychedelics, Dylan Beynon founded Mindbloom to empower individuals to improve their mental and emotional well-being through guided psychedelic experiences, meditation, and coaching. Facilitated by trained guides, the telemedicine platform employs clinician-prescribed ketamine therapy to alleviate symptoms of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. In this episode, we talk about barriers to care during a national mental health crisis. Plus, we explore navigating at-home psychedelic experiences and Mindbloom's plans should psilocybin (aka "magic mushrooms") become legal. In this episode, you'll learn: • How ketamine therapy radically changed the lives of Dylan and his family • The difficulties of working in heavily regulated industries • Mindbloom's therapy process and how they team up with mental healthcare providers Subscribe to the podcast → insider.fitt.co/podcast Subscribe to our newsletter → insider.fitt.co/subscribe Follow us on LinkedIn → linkedin.com/company/fittinsider Mindbloom's Website: https://www.mindbloom.com/ Mindbloom's socials: @mindbloom Dylan's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylanbeynon/ - The Fitt Insider podcast is brought to you by Jack Taylor, our exclusive PR partner.
