Summary

Today we have Dr. Jeff McNairy from Rythmia joining us on the podcast. Dr. McNairy is bridging the gap between ancient modalities and western psychology through plant medicine practices. Dr. McNairy has worked in a variety of medical environments and seen the struggle individuals have when actually trying to heal. Through Dr. McNairy’s intense experience with the most desperate patient populations (addiction, acute mental health, and trauma), he has seen that the only real healing can come from within. In this conversation, recorded in Costa Rica at Rythmia, Dr. McNairy shares the medical perspective on what is happening in our brains and bodies while taking plant medicine, what about the medicine is creating the reprogramming, and his own personal journey of connecting with Gerard Powell and joining the team at Rythmia.   We also talk about: Jeff’s work at Passages Malibu Why we face our traumas while taking plant medicine Purging and why that happens How to dose ayahuasca The research aspects of plant medicine Jeff’s favorite stories from working at Rythmia Preparing for an ayahuasca experience   Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!   Resources: Learn more: jeffmcnairy.com   Upcoming Events: May 30th: Denver with Natalie Miles June 20th: Los Angeles with Bree Melanson   Sponsors: HUM Nutrition | Use code ALMOST30NATION for 15% off at humnutrition.com Sweaty Betty | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off at sweatybetty.com Chosen Foods | Use code ALMOST30 for 50% off at chosenfoods.com/almost30 Further Food | Use code ALMOST30 for 30% off your purchase at shop.furtherfood.com/discount/ALMOST30 Four Sigmatic | Use code ALMOST30 for 15% off your order at foursigmatic.com/almost30 Almost 30 is edited by Crate Media This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy Podsights - https://podsights.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
