Today I’m excited to welcome to the show Dr. Roger Walsh. For over 30 years Roger has been researching how to enhance well-being: pyschologically, socially and spiritually. He holds degrees in psychology, neuroscience and medicine, was a fulbright scholar, has met the dali lami on several occasions and has as his contemporaries people like Ram Das and Jack Kornfield.
Among his books is Higher Wisdom, where he along with his co-author interviewed people like Albert Hoffman, the inventor of LSD, and Stanislov Grof, one of the founders of the psychedelic therapy movement and someone who has supervised or led over 4000 guided LSD sessions.
In this interview he shared:
- what maps of post-conventional development are and why they should matter to us
- the dangers of studying maps of spiritual development
- why he believes what we consider normal is actually arrested development of the human potential
- what it was like for him to break the world record in high diving at the age of 23
- 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.

#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.
