Unlocking The Mind & Healing The Body: The Incredible Benefits Of Mushrooms | Paul Stamets

We’re in the midst of a psychedelic renaissance. Compounds that have long been considered recreational drugs by conventional standards are finally being recognized through science as powerful tools for overcoming hard-to-treat health issues like PTSD, depression, addiction, and more.

Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to talk to my good friend and one of the world’s most renowned mycologists, Paul Stamets, all about psilocybin and how this compound is helping us reimagine our way of treating one of the most important public health crises today—mental illness.

Paul Stamets is a speaker, author, mycologist, medical researcher, and entrepreneur and is considered an intellectual and industry leader in fungi: habitat, medicinal use, and production. His breakthrough research has created a paradigm shift for helping ecosystems worldwide. He has received numerous awards, including Invention Ambassador for the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the National Mycologist Award from the North American Mycological Association (NAMA), and the Gordon & Tina Wasson Award from the Mycological Society of America (MSA). In 2020, Paul was inducted into the Explorer’s Club. He has been awarded myriad patents in the field of mycology. Paul is the founder and sole owner of Fungi Perfecti, LLC, the maker, and marketer of the category-leading myco-supplement Host Defense line.

Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life honestly. They helped me see the pure beauty in life, and made me realize how dumb it would be to take myself out.

[MateoHudson-hj]

My recovery journey was greatly enhanced by the therapeutic benefits of mushrooms. Other psychedelics like DMT and LSD have also proven to be remarkable.

[BrettPeters-hqwn]

Psilocybin mushrooms have definitely improved my mental well-being. They've been quite helpful in managing my anxiety and depression.

[pennygentile]

Psilocybin mushrooms saved my life. I quit all my addictions, alcohol, Tobacco, and healed all my trauma from childhood and even an abusive husband I had for 20 years. It’s a freedom like no other.

[Annalovestheocean]

Microdosing psilocybin has been so beneficial for me. It helped me quit smoking & nicotine addiction. It always helps me find relief from blues, clarity & peace of mind.

[TimTalley]

Psychedelic mushrooms really healed me years back. Totally got rid of depression, anxiety and illicit pill addiction.

[andrearovenski]

after my first trip, i quit all junk food for a year. now i eat some in moderation a few times a month for fun. I believe food addiction CAN be cured with psychedelics

[philipmcdonald-duws]

What I noticed after I concluded my microdose after about eight months I noticed a will to purchase food that I didn’t normally purchase, and I found myself actually enjoying it and eating more healthy foods, less sugars, and experiencing weight loss with less effort

[apocalypse]

Infinite gratitude for Paul.
I have followed his research for years.
Brilliant dude.
He is a blessing to the universe.
I wish I could try this for my PTSD.
Thanks for sharing this informative interview.
Peace love and blessings!

Mushrooms changed my so many postive ways... a gift from the Gods..❤

[DagmaraKapustka]

I wish that psilocybin mushroom would be legal in all of the United States. I’m using amanita muscaria instead because I live in Georgia and I don’t wanna have any problems. Amanita muscaria works great as well.

[kerri]

Have used a therapeutic dose of psilocybin 3 times now. I do not think I would have been able to Trust. Let go. Be Open. With two therapists there in some clinic. I now trust my own mind to show me what I need to heal. It's been a small miracle frankly after decades on SSRIs and getting re-traumitized by EMDR.

[dfinite]

This was widely informative, on so many different areas of science. Very grateful to both of these very intelligent people, in the video.

[Trey-yk]

I have felt like i met god at one point. I do not remember an entity at all. In fact, all i remember was a golden white light. I felt sooo much love and felt soooo free. I was nothing and everything all at once. The most beautiful experience of my life. I will say that before that point was very scary. I won't elaborate on that but none the less was such a great experience.

[anniepais]

Paul is my hero! Thank you for this conversation!

[ronb]

Thanks, Mark, an utterly fantastic interview that I expect will ripple out across the waters.

[alexiscatley]

Yoooo let’s go. Dr H and Stamets together, dope

[jovoorheescollinsmphbsnbch]
