[VIDEO] Psychedelics with Olivia Young

Peyote for my past lives, MDMA for my present... but what happens in between?

Welcome to the world of Psychedelic Assisted Therapy-- Where science and mother nature have come together to form a perfect union. It looks like mushrooms, peyote, MDMA, LSD and… turns out, sometimes toads. 

If you're a little scared-nervous-excited, don't worry, you have company.

Here's where data and science can break through-- Psychedelic assisted therapy is receiving a medical face-lift in the form of dedicated clinics with highly-sought after physicians who are backing the technique as a new way of approaching trauma and PTSD.

FDA-approval of MDMA recently hit a roadblock, however, research & anecdotal experience point to the use of supervised psychedelics as more effective than traditional SSRI’s & talk therapy in the treatment of severe depression and anxiety– even aiding those with severe PTSD for years into remission.

Join me and former hospitality executive (turned alternative therapy counselor and coach), Olivia Young, as she takes us along a detailed and unbelievable journey of total transformation through the use of supervised psychedelics, namely "The God Molecule," and other alternative healing methods in practice today.
