It's episode 2, folks!!! Today on the show I have another guest who is a peer in recovery, musician, Christian and just overall a great person. Omid lives around the London UK area and we met via Zoom telehealth groups online. We had a great conversation regarding the potential of holistic medicine, how the healthcare field is starting to use IV infusion ( IV ketamine ) to help patients w/ depression, and what we as peers can do to help each other in recovery! Also, we talk a lot about our histories in the music scene and how Oregon is beginning to use medicinal psilocybin to assist w/ mental health issues! This was such an enlightening and fun episode to record! Hope you enjoy!

It's the FIRST EPISODE!!!!
