Summary

In this episode, Joe interviews Lia Mix, LMFT, CPTR: founder and CEO of Delphi, a consulting firm dedicated to the healthy growth of the psychedelic movement.

After many years of working in community mental health and 15 years in the commercial health insurance industry (where she helped to establish coverage for autism), Mix was one of the first graduates of CIIS's training program, and after a very distinct MDMA-assisted therapy session, she wondered: "How can I be of service?" She's since helped to launch The Board of Psychedelic Medicines and Therapies, the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association, and Enthea, and is working every day toward a more unified and uniform psychedelic space, with healthcare frameworks, official boards and certifications, consumer protections, and a general consensus that this is our responsibility to manage – not some outside regulator's. So how can we, as a scattered psychedelic community, come together?

She discusses:

Her path to psychedelics and how nobody was talking about how to bring psychedelics into healthcare
The need for a unified code of ethics for any practitioner of psychedelic therapy
The FDA, Lykos Therapeutics, and how the recent advisory committee's recommendations on MDMA-assisted psychotherapy were largely based on fear
How there actually is a lot of financial possibility if we can all agree on what is absolutely essential right now

and more!
