#8: Peak Experiences & Enlightenment | Dr. Andrew Holecek
1h 2m

Truth Junkie Podcast with Kevin Bates
·
Today I’m speaking with Dr. Andrew Holecek, who has studied and taught lucid dreaming, Tibetan Buddhism and other non-dual spiritual traditions for literally decades. In his early 20’s he had a transcendent experience that lasted 2 full weeks and was powerful enough to have him wondering whether he was losing his mind. Really. That flamed his interest in studying esoteric traditions for most of his life, so in this interview it was no surprise he blew me away with the depth of his knowledge on every single topic we touched on.
In this interview he shares his current meditation practice, the role psychedelics can play in spiritual growth under the right conditions, the fine line between enlightenment and insanity, what happened when Ram Daas gave his guru 25 hits of acid, whether or not he believes the soul ever dies, a specific practice that uses the power of love to fuel our spiritual awakening, and much more.

In today’s episode I interview therapist Fabrice Nye, who participated as an adherence rater during the recent phase 2 trials for using MDMA to treat treatment resistant PTSD.
I wanted to have Fabrice on the show because I’m absolutely fascinated with research coming out that shows several psychedelics and substances that are schedule 1 drugs according to the US government actually show huge potential to help millions of people suffering from things like PTSD, depression, and more.
In this interview Fabrice talks about:
- What is special about this most recent scientific study on psychedelic assisted therapy that allowed it to get further in the approval process than any other study of its kind
- How psychedelics were used in therapy before they became criminalized
- Why MDMA is not considered by many to be a psychedelic
- The pharmaceutical company that created MDMA originally
- The shockingly good phase 2 results of this study
- How MDMA assisted therapy is working to significantly help treatment resistant PTSD where therapy and traditional pharmaceuticals don’t
- The specifics steps during a psychedelic assisted therapy session
- The possible use of MDMA in couples therapy
- And much more

#40: The Truth About Biohacking | Brittany Ford
In today’s episode I interview nutritionist and biohacker Brittany Ford... She’s a Registered Holistic Nutritionist focusing on supporting gut, hormonal, and skin health through nutrition and biohacking. She’s been on a wild health journey for over 11 years, healing from leaky gut syndrome, candida, parasites, dysbiosis, and hormonal imbalances. She’s also the host of her own podcast, Biohacking with Brittany.
I wanted to have Brittany on the show because I’m super passionate about health, I’m thinking about launching by own health podcast and I’ve been experimenting with various biohacks myself the last few months, including working with Gwyneth Paltrow’s functional medicine doctor, taking a ridiculous amount of supplements, wearing blue block glasses a night, and more.
In this interview Brittany talks about platelet-rich plasma therapy (known as PRP) and how it can potentially help folks, her personal experience with red light therapy, why free biohacks might be better than spending money on supplements and techy devices, her nighttime routine including the use of blue blocker glasses, cold water therapy, goat butter in coffee, saunas and much more.
Enjoy.
