Summary

The Reemerging Field of Psychedelic Research | This episode is brought to you by Perfect Keto Hallucinogens like lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and psilocybin (a compound derived from certain species of mushrooms) were being researched in medicine as therapeutic agents before their recreational popularity boomed in the 1960s. Unfortunately, that era gave them a negative connotation and since then the research in medical psychedelics dramatically declined. Now, we are seeing a resurgence in interest for these types of therapies, and the research points to some positive benefits. One of the most astounding things about using various compounds, like psilocybin, as medicine is the long-lasting and powerful benefits of a single dose. Dr. Hyman sits down for a conversation with Dr. Anthony Bossis, where he shares about his experience conducting psychedelic research. Anthony P. Bossis, Ph.D. conducts FDA-approved clinical trials in the reemerging field of psychedelic research. He is a clinical psychologist and clinical assistant professor of psychiatry at NYU School of Medicine investigating the effects of psilocybin, a naturally occurring compound found in specific species of mushrooms. Dr. Bossis was director of palliative care research, co-principal investigator, co-author, and session guide on the 2016 landmark study showing a significant reduction in emotional distress along with enhanced existential well being from a single psilocybin-generated mystical experience in persons with cancer. Dr. Bossis is a supervisor of psychotherapy at Bellevue Hospital and co-founder and former co-director of the Bellevue Hospital Palliative Care Service and maintains a private psychotherapy practice in NYC.

0:00.0	Coming up on this episode of the doctor's pharmacy, it's we're looking at
0:03.6	experience study versus a drug study. Yeah, the driver's a catalyst for that
0:06.9	experience than the experience just seems to change us when we when it recalibrates
0:13.0	what what we are. Hey everyone it's Dr. Mark you know I'm all about the
0:17.1	benefits of healthy fats and I've had some patients find that a high-fat
0:20.4	keto diet is the best way to support better cognition, lose some stubborn belly
0:24.0	vet and even reverse certain signs of aging. But I often hear them say that it
0:28.2	can be really hard to stick to especially if they have busy lives and they
0:31.2	need food they can grab on the go. So when I found Perfekito I was really
0:35.0	excited. One of my favorite items from Perfekito is they're nut butters they're
0:38.8	made with MCT oil, macadamia nuts, cashews and coconut on there, plenty of
0:43.4	healthy fats in there to keep you fuller longer. Plus they have amazing
0:46.6	flavors like chocolate hazelnut, almond butter and jelly, snickerdoodle and
0:50.2	macadamia vanilla all formulated to taste great while keeping you in ketosis.
0:54.7	My favorite is the chocolate hazelnut. I love that it comes in an easy
0:58.4	resealable squeeze pack that's really handy for traveling. Their keto cookies
1:02.8	are also a really tasty way to enjoy an occasional healthy treat. They went
1:07.1	through more than 10 recipes combined with rigorous blood and ketone
1:10.2	testing to make sure their cookies didn't spike blood sugar. Since turning my
1:15.3	patients and friends on a Perfekito I've had multiple people tell me they find
1:18.8	it much easier to stick with their diet. I'm all about finding what diet works
1:22.6	best for your unique body but whatever it is it's important to be prepared
