Episode 23: Psychedelic Medicine with Dr. Allison Feduccia

Written By Aaron Weiner, PhD

My guest for this week is Dr. Allison Feduccia, PhD!

Dr. Feduccia is a neuropharmacologist, psychedelic researcher, and educator. She is the co-founder of Psychedelic Support, a platform for education and connection to psychedelic practitioners. She began researching MDMA in 2004, and has worked on mental health research at UT Austin, UCSF, NIH, and MAPS.

Covered topics include:

  • What is the current state of psychedelic science and medicine?

  • What do we know about psilocybin and MDMA for PTSD and depression?

  • How does psychedelic-assisted therapy differ from regular psychotherapy?

  • What actually happens in a psychedelic-assisted therapy protocol? - How do ongoing clinical trials compare to "healing centers" in Oregon and Colorado, or off-label ketamine clinics?
