Psilocybin & Weight Loss
08/25/21 • 62 min
All bodies are beautiful. All healthy lifestyle changes are beautiful. And for those who choose to pursue a goal of losing weight for the right reasons, there is a new ingredient showing promising results — psilocybin.
While known for mental and spiritual support, psilocybin’s benefit can transcend into the physical realm by way of mental health, as well as biophysically. We discuss the mental reframe that can support a weight loss regime and how psilocybin itself has appetite suppressant properties.
We are joined by Trevor Miller who is on the board of directors for MAPS (Multidisciplinary association for psychedelic studies) and has been advocating for psychedelic therapies for years. Trevor is now on the advisory board for NeonMind Biosciences, a Canadian company who is involved in some cutting edge research on the topic of psilocybin and weight loss, and the belief that lives change when minds change.
Topics Covered:
- The origin story of NeonMind Biosciences and their novel approaches in psilocybin therapy
- Psychedelic use among people in the industry
- Psilocybin’s evolutionary ecology
- Psilocybin as an appetite suppressant
- Psilocybin as a pattern interruptor especially with dietary habits
- The importance of acknowledging toxic stigmas around weight and reminding ourselves it is not bad or wrong

Spalted Wood
Spalted wood is beautiful. It’s a form of rotting, and it’s caused by fungi. Spalting comes in many forms: patterns, colors, textures. Until this century, the biology of spalting wasn’t well understood, and even less so any methods to produce it in a laboratory setting. We are once again joined by Javier Ribera, a wood materials scientist and mycologist from EMPA to discuss new research on spalted wood. The team at EMPA has built off of existing literature on the biology of spalting which has allowed them to artificially produce spalted wood, potentially opening a market for designer wood rot.
Topics Covered:
- History of spalted wood use in the United States
- Three kinds of spalting: zone lines, pigmentation and white rot
- Mel & Mark Lindquist’s legacy of spalted wood in woodcraft
- DIY spalting methods: the possibilities and limitations
- The mycology of zone line spalting: what species are involved? What does wood anatomy have to do with it?
- How researchers at EMPA are commercializing spalted woods
- How you can spalt your own wood at home!
