Interview Participant

Yeah, one of the ways I think about it is actually a lot of the people that I've interviewed that are weightlifters are bullied kids. I think about Mike who I had on the show, Chrissy Chelle who I had on the show, both of them speak to, even Lane Norton actually, I think he speaks to some early trauma as well.

They're kids that were bullied in some form or had a traumatic early upbringing and they are just massive now. And I wonder, you know, some people on the surface go, or even Liverpool actually, you're that way because you're learning to defend yourself and to build your self-esteem.

A phase three clinical trial reported that 67% of participants who received MDMA assisted therapy no longer met the PTSD criteria compared to 30 odd percent in the placebo group, which is a pretty, drastic change.

Some really interesting studies around treatment-resistant depression as well. One with psilocybin, which is what people know as magic mushrooms. A treatment-resistant depression study in 2021 showed that a single dose of psilocybin led to a significant reduction in depression with effects lasting up to six weeks for many participants. 30% of participants were in remission after three weeks. Yep.
