Psychedelic Therapy with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. and Ben Decker
07/06/22 • 57 min
This week Ben brings Rythmia Life Advancement Center’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. onto the show. Jeff has been working in the health care field for 25 years. He has worked in a variety of medical environments and seen the struggle individuals have when actually trying to heal. The current Western system of heath care is deficient in healing the population. It is more concerned with managing symptoms and using external sources for “change.” Through Dr. McNairy’s intense experience with the most desperate patient populations (addiction, acute mental health, and trauma), he has seen that the only real healing can come from within.
