HealthyGamerGG · How Psychedelics Unlock Your Brain’s “Edit Mode” · 13 Oct 2025 podcast

I spent seven years studying to become a monk where I did weird esoteric spiritual practices in places like the Himalayas.

And then I went and became a psychiatrist, trained at Harvard Medical School where I served on the faculty for a couple of years.

And today I'm going to explain to you all what I think you need to know about psychedelics.

So everyone's super excited about psychedelics.

There are studies that show that in treatment-resistant depression and PTSD and even addictions, psychedelics have therapeutic potential.

But more than that, there are Netflix series about psychedelics.

And all of the podcast bros are talking about psychedelics.

And everyone in Silicon Valley is using psychedelics.

And everyone is having transformative and healing experiences.

So that means that everyone should be doing them, right?

Not exactly.

So when I hear people talk about the excitement of it, what I oftentimes find is that there is a very, there's just a huge lack of sophistication about understanding how psychedelics work and like really what they do.

So just to give you all a couple of examples.

So as a medical doctor, you know, if you ask me, hey, does this treatment work?

There are all kinds of questions we ask, like what is the dose?

which psychedelic are we talking about?

Are all the psychedelics the same?

Do different doses of different psychedelics produce different effects?

Which ones are effective for addictions?

Which ones are effective for trauma?
