Homegrown Humans – Julie Holland, MD – Psychedelics - Hosted by Jamie Wheal

Using Psychedelics for Brain Plasticity

In today’s episode we welcome author, psychiatrist/psychopharmacologist, Julie Holland, MD to discuss what societ needs for connection, how we’ve lost it, how we might find it again, and how psychedelics can help.

Holland takes us on a deep dive into the science behind psychedelic compounds that modulate neuroplasticity and how plant medicines are being used to effectively heal trauma and nurture connection. We discuss:

• How psychedelics rewire the brain
• The role of mindfulness and psychedelics in accessing parasympathetic states
• Hormones and love drugs for bonding, connection, and sexuality
• The power of MDMA to promote healing through connection with others

Psychedelics induce a temporary neuroplastic state in the brain, making it more impressionable and open to input. - Julie Holland, MD

Listen in now as we explore the exciting research surrounding psychedelic medicine and connection.
