#51 Former Johns Hopkins Researcher Turned Psychedelic Therapist for Crisis Intervention

Let's Talk Plant Medicine With Dr. O featuring Dr. Sam Zand, Co-founder & CMO of Better U, co-founder of the Better U Foundation & Founder of the Anywhere Clinic. The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine reported earlier this year that Psilocybin Treatment for Major Depression has been studied to be effective for Up to a Year for Most Patients. 

They said, “Our findings add to evidence that, under carefully controlled conditions, this is a promising therapeutic approach that can lead to significant and durable improvements in depression,”. Previous studies by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers showed that psychedelic treatment with psilocybin relieved major depressive disorder symptoms in adults for up to a month. We talk about what Dr. Sam thinks of what we are learning about this updated research and how it could be a game changer.

 Now, it was after initial psychedelic medicine research at Johns Hopkins that you began treating patients clinically with ketamine in 2019. Dr. Sam has expanded outside of the clinic setting to assist in Crisis Intervention Training for the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, help create mental skills departments for professional sports teams and corporations, and has worked with industry leaders, corporate executives, and pro athletes. We talk more about these collaborations and much more!
