Summary
Where would we be if psychedelic research was never halted? We’ll never be able to answer that question, but the exciting thing is that we are currently living through the renaissance of psychedelic science, and today’s podcast is with one of the leading experts of this movement. Dr. Matthew W. Johnson, Ph.D., is a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Johns Hopkins. He is one of the world’s most published scientists on the human effects of psychedelics, and is on the front line of resurrecting psychedelic research. In today’s episode, we dive into the current state of psychedelic research, and we posit potential upcoming applications for a variety of psychedelic compounds (DMT, Psilocybin, MDMA, Ketamine, etc.). More generally, this discussion was a beautiful merger between my experiential knowledge and Dr. Matthew Johnson’s scientific findings. He is someone who I admire for his curious attitude (true to the original understanding of science) towards topics that most people dismiss.

| 0:00.0 | Matthew Johnson PhD is a professor of psychiatry in behavioral sciences at Johns Hopkins University. |
| 0:06.0 | And if you know anything about Johns Hopkins, they do a lot of research on psychedelic medicine. |
| 0:11.0 | And Matthew Johnson is right in the center of so much of that research. But not only psychedelic medicine |
| 0:17.2 | research on the effects of all types of drugs, hard drugs, soft drugs, medium drugs, |
| 0:22.4 | all the different types of drugs. And we get into everything on this podcast. It was one of my favorite |
| 0:27.1 | conversations of the year. And I can't wait to present to you Matthew Johnson. But before we get |
| 0:32.9 | started a word from our sponsors, first up, we have on it. Now everybody's heard me talk about on it. |
| 0:37.4 | Why? Because I created on it largely as a solution to everything that I've wanted to have available |
| 0:43.5 | for my own life. So it's just expanding the toolbox of all of the tools that are available. |
| 0:50.4 | I actually had somebody ask me recently, they're saying, what do you do with all of the different |
| 0:54.5 | supplements and biohacking techniques and everything that you're aware of? How do you fit it all in? |
| 0:59.6 | And my explanation was really, look, I've spent the time to get familiar with all of the different |
| 1:05.8 | tools, all of the different supplements, all of the foods, all of the practices. And I don't do |
| 1:11.1 | everything every single day. That would be crazy. But I know which tool to apply to which situation |
| 1:17.5 | to bring out the total human optimization that I'm looking for in that given moment. So |
| 1:23.2 | that's how I do it. And on it is a huge, indelible part of this process for me. And I know it will |
| 1:30.6 | be for you. So check out everything we have on it.com slash Aubrey for 10% off always once again, |
| 1:37.5 | oh, and an it.com slash Aubrey. Next up, we have Helix sleep. So you guys might have heard me talk |
| 1:44.8 | about Helix sleep before, but it's something that is continually talked about at the markets home |
| 1:50.1 | because my wife, Lanna wants to replace every single mattress in every room of every place that |
| 1:55.9 | we've ever stayed with the Helix mattress. She really loves them that much. Lanna is not alone |
| 2:01.9 | in her opinion. Helix has been awarded the number one mattress picked by GQ and Wired magazine. |
