    Breaking Boundaries: The Transformative Power of Psychedelics with Gabe Ettenson

    This is a complex and nuanced conversation that touches on various aspects of mental health, consciousness, and the potential for psychedelics to facilitate profound personal growth and understanding about who we are and the nature of reality. We touched on what conditions or mental health issues can be treated with psychedelic-assisted therapy, if psychedelic-assisted therapy is safe, and if there are any potential risks. How is a psychedelic therapy session conducted? And what can someone expect from start to finish? What are the differences between the various substances used, such as psilocybin, MDMA, and ketamine.

    Our guest Gabe Ettenson has over 24 years of experience working with individuals of all backgrounds across this diverse range of innovative, mind-body medicine driven businesses. Gabe's passion for alternative and complementary medicine as well as technodelics began during his early professional career as a Physical Therapist. Besides once owning and operating one of the largest integrative physical therapy practices in New York City, he has taught meditation, co-developed a number of vibration-based fitness and wellness products, and co-founded one of the largest, publicly traded, hemp-cannabinoid companies, Elixinol Wellness Ltd. 

    Gabriel is certified in Endocannabinoid Science and in Psychedelic-Assisted Therapies and Research from the California Institute of Integral Studies. He has also completed the pre-FDA drug approval steps of the MAPS certification. He is a member of the both the American Psychedelic Practitioners Association and the Psychedelic Medicine Association. He currently owns Sage Space where he combines sound, light, PEMF and Natural Medicine to facilitate a more rapid integration of body and mind.
