This course is tailored for healthcare and wellness practitioners – including clinicians, therapists, nurses, chiropractors, and acupuncturists – who are curious about the emerging scientific and clinical research on psychedelic-based treatments for mental and physical health. It is also very relevant for anyone interested in becoming well-versed in the latest psychedelic research for their own personal journey.

It is well-suited for you whether you are interested in potentially integrating psychedelics into your practice in the future, wanting to confidently answer patient questions in an evidence-based manner, and/or wanting to create synergistic treatment plans for patients concurrently receiving psychedelic therapy.

The course draws from a large breadth of scientific research and covers the history, science, and therapeutic applications of psychedelics, including their mechanisms of action, potential benefits, and their safety and risk potential.

The course includes 6 hours of recorded instructional content, divided into easily digestible bite-sized modules that cover specific topics. We’ve designed it for people with a busy lifestyle to work through it at their own pace. Upon purchase, you will have lifelong access to the material. 

When you buy the course, you’ll also get free 1-month access to our  live Q&A sessions and online community to clarify any uncertainties and gain a deeper understanding of the material and related topics. You will have us – two neuroscientists and psychedelic researchers working in the field – at your fingertips!

The e-textbook, written to accompany the course, is 200 pages long and cites a total of 200+ peer-reviewed scientific studies.

I am in the process of obtaining accreditation for several professions. Details will be shared as they become available!

Upon successful completion of the course, you will receive a certificate that acknowledges your proficiency in the fundamentals of psychedelic medicine. 

Some prior knowledge of fundamental neuroscience and psychology concepts is beneficial but certainly not required. We have made sure to include essential background information in the course, and to make all of the material as accessible and easy to understand as possible. 

The content is written with healthcare and wellness practitioners in mind, but it can be read by anyone! We will also be available on our live Q&As and online community forum to clarify any and all questions about the material and related topics.

The course is delivered online through our community site hosted by Mighty Networks, which includes video lectures, interactive forums, and live Q&A sessions to provide a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.

With your course purchase, you will have 1-month free access to my online community forum and my bi-weekly live Q&A sessions (after which it is $14.99 monthly). Through both of these offerings, I will provide you with ample support in understanding the material and will help ensure that all uncertainties are clarified.

Of course. If you would like to begin your educational journey with our e-textbook, you can purchase it here.

Breakthroughs in Treating Mental and Physical Health

Recent research into psychedelic substances has paved new pathways for mental health treatment, challenging traditional approaches. Studies indicate that psychedelics such as psilocybin and MDMA can be highly effective in patients with depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other conditions – including in so-called treatment resistant patients. The promise of these treatments lies in their ability to produce rapid and lasting improvements in mental health from only 1-3 psychedelic sessions, in a manner that appears to be curative rather than simply symptom alleviating. These treatments not only enhance mental health, but emerging evidence also suggests they contribute to physical well-being through their influences on the immune system and gut microbiome, underscoring how these substances embody a holistic approach to healing and wellness.

Enhancing Neuroplasticity and Reducing Inflammation

Psychedelics have shown remarkable effects on the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new neural connections, a process known as neuroplasticity. This enhanced plasticity can lead to improvements in cognitive flexibility, allowing individuals to break out of rigid thought patterns associated with disorders like depression and OCD. By facilitating a reset of neural circuits, psychedelics offer a unique tool for harnessing the brain’s intrinsic capacity to heal and adapt.

Psychedelics also exhibit potent anti-inflammatory effects, which may aid in the relief of acute symptoms and support the maintenance of new neural connections, enhancing the brain’s ability to manage pain and promote well-being. An education in the science of psychedelics equips practitioners and their clients with the knowledge to harness these profound shifts in mind and body effectively, enabling a more informed approach to both treatment and self-care.

Transformative Potential

Psychedelics induce unique and potent alterations to consciousness, spanning our perception, thinking, emotion, and sense of self. With proper preparation and support, these alterations can facilitate profound mystical experiences of interconnectedness, psychological insights, and deep emotional catharsis, among other things. Scientific research is beginning to explore the nature and mechanisms of these experiences and their potential for personal transformation and healing.
