He's Guided Thousands Through Ayahuasca, 5-MeO-DMT & Peyote — Here's What No One Tells You E- 185

from Makes Sense - with Dr. JC Doornick · host Dr. Jean Claude Doornick

What if the most powerful therapy available right now isn't in a clinic? Is it in a jungle? My guest today has sat in a ceremony with hundreds of people. He's guided them through Ayahuasca in the Amazon, through the full-force blast of 5-MeO-DMT from Bufo toad venom, through peyote, San Pedro, and mushrooms, and he has seen people fall apart and put themselves back together in a single weekend. But he's also seen how it could go wrong. And that's exactly what we need to talk about. Billy Venkatraman is a life coach, a CBT and NLP-trained practitioner, and the founder of I AM TRIBE — and he's here to give you the most honest conversation about plant medicine you've probably ever heard.
