S2E2 The Psychedelic Experience

Can psychedelic substances genuinely facilitate self-healing and personal growth? Recent studies suggest they might. In this episode, I journey into the Amazon rainforest of Peru to explore the consciousness-altering properties of the psychedelic concoction Ayahuasca. Accompanying me is Dr. Robin Carhart-Harris, the Head of Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, who evaluates how Ayahuasca affects my brain.
