Stay Safe, Psychonauts (Live from Clubhouse)
Life is a Festival #94: Dr. Molly
Listen to the Podcast
As the Psychedelic Renaissance heats up, people are experiencing spiritual emergence left and right. At times like these we need a healthy dose of a healthier dose. Luckily Dr. Molly stopped by the Life is a Festival Club on Clubhouse to share her wisdom.
On the show we talk about harm reduction, pseudo-shamanism, and the unfortunate prevalence of bad medicine. We discuss how to prepare your body before a psychedelic experience and how to manage a difficult integration after. We talk nootropics, nutrition, and the current understanding of neurotoxicity. Life is a Festival favorite Jamie Wheal stops by to caution against ontological addiction and we go into an hour of wide-ranging questions from the room.
Dr. Molly Maloof is a physician, an entrepreneur a medical advisor, a Ketamine practitioner, and a Stanford lecturer. She has advised over 42 companies throughout the world and has lectured extensively. You can catch her with Dr. David Rabin on the Psychedelic News Hour on Fridays at 11:30 am PST on ClubHouse. Dr. Molly is also the first person I ever interviewed for this podcast!
If you’re on iPhone, you can stop by the Life is a Festival Clubhouse and chat with our community on Saturday mornings.
