Psychedelics with Paul Austin

from A Functional Approach with Dr. Jim Chialtas Hosted by Jim Chialtas, DACM, L.Ac.

In this 176th episode, I sit down with Paul Austin to discuss the exciting, controversial, and promising topic of psychedelics. Paul is the CEO and founder of The Third Wave, which is a company focused on providing information and resources on the safe use of psychedelic therapies. He also trains and coaches upcoming facilitators, and offers retreats around the world for people to come together for this very important work. In this episode, we discuss many topics ranging from legality, microdosing vs. macrodosing, different types of psychedelic medicines, psychedelic research, and the subtle yet important difference in the description of these medicines as "psychedelics" vs. "entheogens." Join us in this dynamic conversation as we enter into a literal renaissance in psychedelic therapies going forward. This is no longer fringe stuff here. It is real medicine, recognized by the FDA, that can offer an individual deep insights not readily available in normal everyday life. I even share some of my personal experiences with psychedelic journeys. They have been game-changers in my life. And I put them squarely in the "A Functional Approach" category of health and wellness interventions for my personal wellness journey.
