Psychedelics were the subject of serious medical research in the 1940s to the 1960s, when many scientists believed some of the mind-bending compounds held tremendous therapeutic promise for treating a number of conditions including severe mental health problems and alcohol addiction. By the mid-60s, research into psychedelics was shut down for decades. After the blackout ended, the doctor we have on the podcast today was among the first to initiate a new series of studies on psilocybin—the psychoactive compound in “magic” mushrooms. On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, our host, Dhru, talks to Dr. Roland Griffiths, a Professor in the Departments of Psychiatry and Neurosciences at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He has conducted extensive research with sedative-hypnotics, caffeine, and novel mood-altering drugs. In 1999, he initiated a research program at Johns Hopkins investigating the effects of the classic hallucinogen psilocybin that includes studies of psilocybin-occasioned mystical-type experiences in healthy volunteers, psilocybin-facilitated treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients, psilocybin-facilitated treatment of cigarette smoking cessation, psilocybin effects in beginning and long-term meditators, and psilocybin effects in religious leaders. In this episode, Dhru and Dr. Griffiths talk about his extensive research with psilocybin in the treatment of psychological distress in cancer patients and cigarette smoking cessation. They discuss the connection between psilocybin, spirituality, and consciousness. They also talk about psychedelics and their potential for treating conditions ranging from drug and alcohol dependence to depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In this episode, we dive into: - The connection between psychedelics, spirituality, and consciousness (7:48) - The history of psychedelic research (8:28) - The reintroduction of psychedelic research by Dr. Roland Griffiths and others (12:27) - Why research participants rated their psychedelic experience as one of their most meaningful (16:36) - What is happening in the brain when using psychedelics (23:39) - How psychedelics can help us understand altered states of consciousness (29:09) - The therapeutic benefits of psilocybin for the treatment of addiction (40:16) - How a single dose of psilocybin substantially diminished depression and anxiety in cancer patients (44:52) - The future of psychedelics (48:07) - The downside and risks of psychedelics (56:14) - Learn more about Dr. Roland Griffiths and his work (1:00:24) For more on Dr. Roland Griffiths and his research on psychedelics check out his website https://hopkinspsychedelic.org.

Trouble getting to sleep at night? Try These Natural Solutions For Improved Sleep 1. Change your diet and exercise to overcome obesity. Many with sleep apnea develop the disorder because of their weight. 2. Ask you doctor to check for chronic sinus infection (both bacteria and fungal). Swelling in the airway from an infection can lead to reduced airflow and sleep disturbance. 3. Ask you doctor to check you for different forms of anemia. Anemia causes a reduction of oxygen to your brain leading to poor sleep and night time waking. 4. Stop eating dairy. It's mucogenic and contributes to a reduction of air flow. 5. Stop eating grain. Grain can cause swelling and inflammation of the airways as well. Consider the No Grain NO Pain 30 day diet protocol from my best selling book.

The human fascination with spices is as old as cultural time itself.

Click here to subscribe - https://www.glutenfreesociety.org/wxrn Similar to NSAIDs, glucocorticosteroids are often used to reduce inflammation. However, they also reduce the secretion of protective mucus in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition, evidence suggests that they interfere with beneficial bacteria in the gut, which can also reduce the production of mucus as well as promote inflammation. Corticosteroids can also increase your risk of deficiencies for the following nutrients: Calcium Chromium Vitamin D – important because it helps regulate the function of your gut bacteria as well as helps keep inflammation under control. Animal studies have also found that vitamin D helps regulate the expression of proteins associated with the tight junctions between intestinal cells. Magnesium Zinc Potassium Folate Vitamin A Vitamin C Each of these nutrients are important for gut function, digestive function, immune function, and overall necessary for the body to be able to heal from leaky gut.

Try These Natural Remedies. In this video, I break down the chemistry of stress and what you can do to get through it. I want to kind of get back to my roots talk a little bit about nutrition. Many of you are probably pretty stressed out about what's going on right now. That chronic fear mode, chronic fight or flight as many of you are still in lockdown. When we get a stress response, a couple of different things that happen. Number one, we get cortisol elevation. So we get this increase in stress and cortisol causes loss of muscle over time. And so what's happening to many of you that are locked down as you've been overly stressed out higher cortisol levels. You've lost some of your muscle mass, which is reduced your metabolic rate. And when your metabolic rate is reduced, you actually gain weight, gain fat, specifically visceral fat fat around your heart, fat around your intestine. The type of fat that we know is associated with heart attacks and massive disease. And so this has been ongoing for a number of you including to a degree myself and that response has this kind of snowball or domino effect. Now you should also be aware that too much excessive cortisol over time, depletes things like vitamin D and magnesium and calcium. We also have another side effect of increased cortisol, which is an elevation in blood sugar. And I've seen this in a lot of my clients as they're coming through the doors the past month or so, we're seeing a lot of people with elevations in their blood sugar, as a result of that increased stress loads of that blood sugar, heightens it increases blood viscosity, which puts more pressure on your heart and puts more pressure on your peripheral vascular tree. It makes it harder for blood and oxygen to get into those tissues. There are a lot of elements off of the central theme of increased stress that you want to be watching out for right now. One of my favorite methods to get through stress is via nutrient support. 00:00 Stress response - what happens 01:20 Vitamins that stress depletes 04:00 Chronic stress and adrenaline 06:30 Prayer, meditation, deep breathing, family time 08:57 Importance of exercise 11:15 Sugar cravings 13:17 Vitamin C 14:48 Vitamin B5 16:00 Adrenalglandular supplement 16:47 Increased stress = increased nutrient excretion To connect with Dr. Osborne visit: On the web: https://drpeterosborne.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DoctorPeterO...
