Because you may not realize it, but Lyme disease often comes with lots of psychological symptoms in addition to all the physical ones. Lori Unruh Snyder is one of Albert's patients in that study. She's an agriculture professor. She got a tick bite. She got Lyme disease. But it took doctors four years to get to that diagnosis.

But here's the thing, Gina. Researchers like Albert, they don't know exactly why Lori sees things differently. Is it because the drug altered her brain chemistry? Or was it the journey she took while she was on psilocybin? I called myself, like, the new Lori.

Yeah, you know, people often take psychedelics looking for some kind of experience that could transform their lives or change their outlook on everything. So if you're a scientist, how do you tell if the effect of a psychedelic is because of a change in brain chemistry or because of this spiritual journey? I spoke to Boris Heifetz. He's an anesthesiologist and neuroscientist who works at Stanford.
