Beyond the Mind | Psychedelics to Heal the Body
Description:
Psychedelics are being researched, and showing efficacy, as medicines for much more than mental health. Alongside depression and PTSD, the staggering burden of chronic pain and neurodegeneration continues to grow globally and affects folks of all stripes. Hear from the world’s leading clinical psychedelic researchers on the latest science for how these substances can be effective therapies for difficult-to-treat physical conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic-Lyme disease and phantom-limb pain. A panel moderated by Court Wing, a co-founder of the Psychedelics & Pain Association.
