This lecture will shine a spotlight on common – and commonly overlooked – biological contributors to anxiety disorders. It will also examine risks associated with treatment paradigms that omit biological testing and biochemical individuality, thus establishing a powerful rationale for the application of modern psychedelic medicine under a Functional Medicine model. Evidence supporting robust associations between discrete biological phenomena and mental illness will be presented, with a focus on essential nutrient deficiencies and infectious diseases.
Attendees will come away with an expanded understanding of the myriad biological factors that may influence the trajectory of neuropsychiatric illness, and why it is so imperative that modern treatment paradigms – including those employing psychedelics – routinely incorporate biomedical testing into comprehensive evaluations to maximize patient outcomes.

Ibogaine is a non-classical psychedelic that breaks the cycle of addiction to opioids, cocaine and other abused drugs. In the 1960’s, American and European self-help groups provided public testimonials that a single dose of ibogaine alleviated drug craving, opioid withdrawal symptoms, and prevented relapse for weeks, months and sometimes years. The claimed therapeutic benefits of ibogaine which treat the underlying disease instead of targeting symptoms to prevent relapse support the current resurgence of ibogaine’s clinical development for inpatient use.

Research has consistently shown the benefits of psychedelic-assisted therapy to treat existential and psychological distress in patients with life-threatening illnesses. We also know that chronic pain, often experienced by those same patients, can exacerbate the distress. Furthermore, it is crucial to consider the toll on their emotional and spiritual being and on the wellbeing of their loved ones. Given what we have come to know, it is time to take a psychedelic-assisted integrative approach that has been shown to help relieve physical and mental pain and enhance emotional and spiritual wellbeing for all concerned.
The purpose of the panel is to share successful integrative models and to pose the question, how can we do better? The panelists are experts in their respective fields with deep experience in psilocybin, ketamine, and cannabis therapy for those at end of life. They will share their holistic approach and how it has helped their clients. Additionally, the panel will discuss how psilocybin and ketamine therapy has helped manage and ease the grief of the loved ones “left behind.”

Increasingly, it is clear that all emotional and thought disorders result from misfiring of specific circuits in the brain which normally help process cognitive and emotional content, and that consistent anatomic patterns of this misfiring are seen whether the problem results from emotional trauma, spontaneously, from a head injury, or from any other cause. Advances in brain imaging and AI has made it possible to understand these circuits and localize them in the brain. Our recent advances have led to revolutionary products which make it possible to see the mental illness in the brain, and to use these facts to determine the best way to treat a patient. All things that improve someone’s mental health do so by changing how something in the brain works, and we now can truly link our approaches to biologic reality.

Additionally he will be playing guitar, which is not traditional to the his people. However in recent times they have adapted many of their sacred chants to guitar rhythms, bringing joy and levity into the space. They have adapted this as a way to demonstrate that not everything brought by colonialism was bad, and to show forgiveness for the tragedies experienced during this difficult period.
