    158. Here We Grow: Psychedelics & Plant-Based Psychotherapy with Lauren Taus (Replay)

    You know we’re all about the shrooms here on HTW, and not just the ones that take you on a trip. But when it comes to other psychedelics and their potential health benefits, it can be hard to get over some misconceptions we have. Most of us grew up hearing “drugs are bad, mkay,” and while many can be—and nearly all without taking the proper precautions—it’s taken a toll on public perception around certain compounds and held us back from some very useful and SAFE benefits. Lauren Taus is a licensed psychotherapist, practicing Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), and trained to work with both psychoactive compounds and plant medicines. Lauren leads Inbodied Life, a group therapy practice and she also offers immersive educational programs for clinicians to learn psychedelic assisted therapy and integration in contexts that hold personal healing as essential to effective facilitation. Lauren is a lifelong student, educator and activist. For decades, Lauren’s work has focused on creating aligned, and kind mind-body connections to support complete health for individuals and the collective. She helps walk us through using these potent plants as tools for healing, looking at ketamine beyond the stigma (and where those stigmas may be right), and the potential uses for future psychedelic-assisted therapies.   Lauren talks about… Her pain-to-purpose path into the world of mental health The value people get from their addicitons How ketamine-assisted psychotherapy works and the history of drug-assisted healing The experience of using ketamine beyond the stigma How we compromise ourselves to maintain relationships The impact of drug legalization   Resources: Learn more at inbodiedlife.com Instagram: @lauren.taus Listen: Inbodied Life Podcast Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!

    Are we still talking about stress and anxiety? Yes... yes we are. Because it never f***ing goes away. And panic attacks, in particular, have become a very broad, catch-all topic for a variety of still-potentially-severe-but-not-actually-panic-attack problems. That’s why we’re bringing on our good friend, Dr. Ellen Vora, to lay out the real deal about panic attacks: what they actually are, and how you can cope with them. She practically wrote the book on it — Ok, she ACTUALLY wrote the book on it. The Anatomy of Anxiety is available now.   Dr. Ellen Vora talks about… Unpacking what panic attacks are False anxiety vs true anxiety How the fear economy preys on our anxiety What to do when you’re experiencing a panic attack How to set ourselves up to avoid them in the first place   Resources: Learn more: ellenvora.com Instagram: @ellenvoramd Visit earthandstar.com and use the promo code “PODCAST” to get 15% off your first order Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!

We had a hilarious and informative conversation with Monica Molenaar, co-founder of Alloy — assuming you find tales of incontinence as amusing as we do.

Head on over to Alloy's website for more information, and get ready to laugh and learn.   Bio: Monica Molenaar is a serial entrepreneur who has become a passionate advocate for democratizing access to safe, effective, and evidence-based solutions for women as they age, stemming from her own experience going into surgical menopause at age 40 and finding little support.  She is now the co-founder and co-CEO of Alloy Women's Health, an online telehealth and pharmacy platform that makes it easy for women in all 50 states to access expert physicians and gold-standard treatments for menopause.   Monica talks about… The lies women are told about menopause and what we can do about it Misconceptions about hormone replacement therapy Taking a multi-strategy approach to menopause management Empowering women to make the decisions that work best for them   Resources: myalloy.com Use the code HTW15 for 15% off the first order at MyAlloy.com Follow Monica on Instagram: @monica.molenaar Women Have Been Misled About Menopause Visit earthandstar.com and get 15% off your first order with code HTW Subscribe to our YouTube Channel!
