"Is this podcast called love and fear because all decisions are based off of love and fear?"
Doctor Who
"Yep."

The name of the interviewee has been removed to protect his identity. In the Show Notes I will refer to the interviewee as Doctor Who.
Doctor Who is a popular science fiction television show, produced by BBC, debuted in 1963.
For episode five and six, I interview a man who's done ayahuasca about a dozen times -- let's call him Doctor Who.
Ayahuasca is an Amazonian entheogenic drink, composed of multiple plant ingredients. The drink is used in spiritual ceremonies as a medicine for healing on various levels of one's being. An effect of ingestion is mild to extreme hallucinations, comparable to that of psychedelics such hallucinogenic mushrooms and LSD.
Doctor Who began participating in ayahuasca ceremonies in 2015. Although he was never diagnosed with depression or anxiety, Who had an unhappiness in his soul, to the point where he became fearful of leaving his apartment.
Three years later, Doctor Who is an outgoing, compassionate individual -- he gives credit to his ayahuasca experiences for becoming the man he is today.
In part one, Who primarily speaks on his first ayahuasca ceremony. In part two, he speaks on the other dozen or so ceremonies; as well as experiences with psychedelics.
Prior to listening to episode five and six, I would suggest watching the two pieces below, which provide a brief introduction on ayahuasca. The first by Vice, the second by AsapSCIENCE.
