Zappy shares his own transformational journey and offers insight into the unique roles different psychedelic medicines may play in addressing trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and chronic pain.Throughout the episode, Lyndsay reflects on her own healing journey and the hope that can emerge when we're willing to explore new possibilities.This conversation is honest, inspiring, and a reminder that healing isn't always about finding another treatment—sometimes it's about discovering an entirely new path forward.Episode Highlights:(00:01) Lyndsay opens up about anxiety, alcohol, and ketamine therapy(02:48) Zappy's vision for psychedelic healing(04:15) Introducing Zappy Zapolin(05:13) Zappy's first psychedelic experience(06:15) From Wall Street to the jungle(08:00) The Reality of Truth and 25 million views(09:30) Meeting God in the jungle(11:00) How ibogaine works and what to expect(14:00) Ayahuasca, psilocybin, and combo explained(20:00) Lois's story from near death to fully healed(26:00) The caterpillar death spiral(32:00) How to start with microdosing(37:00) The CRPS community and why plant medicine matters(38:02) Finding perspective through a mushroom journey(40:21) Don't wait for your doctor(41:04) Where to find Zappy and closing thoughtsFind Zappy Zapolin Online Here:Website: psychedelicconcierge.comInstagram: @zappyzapolinYouTube: @PsychedelicConceirgeLinkedIn: Zappy ZapolinPodcast: Psychedelic Concierge PodcastFind Giving Pain Purpose Online Here:Website: givingpainpurpose.comInstagram: @givingpainpurposeFacebook: The Giving Pain Purpose PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: @givingpainpurposeShop: thegivingpainpurposeshop.comSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | COMING SOON: The Pain Hub - A Women's Healing Community.
