Psychedelics

As interest in the use of psychedelics as health therapeutics grows, research is uncovering their benefits, potential challenges, and cultural history in medicine. This week on Health Wanted, host Laurel Bristow speaks with experts Ali John Zarrabi, MD; Roman Politsky, PhD; and Caroline Peacock, DMin, from Emory's Center for Psychedelics and Spirituality to explore the evolving landscape of psychedelic therapy. In the Q&A, Bristow answers questions on the availability of estrogen patches, MHT, the presence of toxic metals in feminine hygiene products, and the surge in childhood illnesses. The show ends with this week’s Sick of the Week, a close (too close?) look at Guinea worm. For a full rundown on all the information shared in today's episode, take a look at the Show Notes.
