Summary

Dr. Dan Engle is an MD, the Founder and Medical Director of Kuya Institute for Transformational Medicine and an author.

Expect to learn what an MDMA-assisted psychotherapy session is actually like, what makes MDMA such a useful therapeutic tool, the difference in effectiveness between MDMA and current psyche-meds, what the future of its availability looks like and much more...

0:00.0	Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Dr. Dan Engel. He's an MD,
0:07.2	the founder and medical director of Kuyya Institute for Transformational Medicine, and an author.
0:13.3	For the last 50 years, MDMA has been illegal, whilst psychological trauma and depression
0:19.1	has been mostly treated by trying to negate their symptoms through medication. After decades

1:50.2	to work out what you're supposed to take with what dosages at what time of the day. PureSport
1:55.2	has taken all the guesswork out of it. If you've ever watched Paul Stammett's on Rogan,
