In today's episode, we have a fascinating discussion with our guests, Austin Mao and Chuchu Wang, about the transformative power of psychedelic therapy. We dive deep into the difference between the medical model and the ceremony model for psychedelic therapy, exploring the use of psilocybin mushrooms and Ayahuasca. Austin and Chuchu share their personal experiences with these substances and discuss why they believe they integrate medicine, psychology, and spirituality. They also shed light on the history and misconceptions surrounding psilocybin mushrooms and Ayahuasca and the potential therapeutic benefits they hold.
