Send us a text

This week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I chat with Matt Zemon, educator and author, about the transformative power of psychedelics in mental health. Matt shares his journey from avoiding drugs to becoming an advocate for psychedelics in treating trauma, PTSD, and more.

We discuss how a magic mushroom experience changed his perspective and explore stories of veterans finding healing through psychedelic therapy. We also address the stigma surrounding psychedelics and highlight the importance of responsible, safe use for emotional and spiritual healing. This is an eye-opening conversation on the growing role of psychedelics in mental health.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• How psychedelics can transform mental health and personal growth
