Summary

Plant medicine, psychedelics, Christianity, spirituality.

For the past year, I've been engrossed in how those topics fit together, if and how I want to incorporate those practices and concepts into my life, and what I want to share with you if you're also looking to sort through things yourself.

What has been particularly helpful in this process of thought and study is talking to (and reading books written by) other people who are also on this reflective journey. Paul Risse is one of those people. Paul first joined me on the podcast "The Christian Psychedelic: Should Christians Use Plant Medicines, Is Microdosing (Or Tripping) A Sin, Accessing Spiritual Realms, DMT & Much More With Paul Risse & Ben Greenfield." Today, Paul is back.

Paul is also the CEO of Cleanse America, where he has led 10,000 people through a cleansing process over two years, writing numerous eBooks, producing videos, and orchestrating each of these cleanses. He built his own house without experience going into the process, and he wrote a book about the journey called "Kinda Tiny Home, An Unorthodox Approach to Building and Owning Your Own Home."

Perhaps most relevant to today's show, Paul took psychedelics around 1,000 times over a decade, including DMT, Salvia, 2CB, 2CI, and LSD, though 99% of what he engaged in was mushrooms. Paul recently released a book called "The Psychedelic Christian," which is part art, free verse, poetry, Bible verses, spirit realm exploration, testimony, and Holy Spirit encounters.

0:00.0	My name is Ben Greenfield and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast.
0:04.4	I would see things in the spirit realm that were very transcendent that affected my heart,
0:10.0	affected my soul and that showed me things of the afterlife and showed me things the essence
0:16.1	and the reality of things that I was wrestling with in that moment.
0:19.1	Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living,
0:32.2	biohacking, and a whole lot more. Welcome to the show.
0:41.1	All right, one of my favorite not carbohydrate, not fat, not protein, little known secret macro nutrients
0:47.5	is now back in stock. It's called ketones. The ones I use are made by HVMM. They're called
0:53.2	ketone IQ. They're perfect for staving your appetite for hours on end, running from meeting to
0:58.2	meeting when you can't get food, any type of endurance activity because ketones are a great
1:02.0	fuel for the heart, for the liver, for the diaphragm. Anytime you want a great amount of portability,
1:06.8	convenience on an airplane is amazing because you're not even tempted at all by any food. The whole
1:11.0	time you're sitting on the airplane, ketones are 28% more efficient at generating energy than
1:15.4	sugar alone. That means you can do a lot more with a lot less, especially when your body gets
1:20.0	pushed to limits because ketones help you convert stored fat into energy. And then with ketone IQ,
1:25.2	you can actually get that without having to fast and excessively restrict carbohydrates.
1:29.6	They created this stuff through a $6 million contract from the US Department of Defense.
1:33.6	Deep partnerships with some of the top researchers in ketone science. It's a truly cutting-edge
1:37.9	drink. It avoids the insulin spikes, the caffeine jitters, the mid-afternoon energy crashes.
1:42.8	Super simple. You just throw this stuff back. I'll toss back a shot straight out of the bottle.
1:47.2	Some people like to mix it with a little water, stevia stuff like that. But either way,
