Healing Maps: Psychedelics for eating disorders
This week I had the chance to sit down with Amanda Siebert for an interview featured on Healing Maps. We chatted about what’s happening in the mind of someone suffering from an eating disorder and how psychedelic experiences might help. We also cover some of the differences between psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy and conventional treatments available to eating disorder patients. Anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and other conditions involving disordered relationships with food are extremely complex and are often difficult to treat, so despite the need for more research (especially large-scale, placebo-controlled double-blind studies), I’m excited about the potential psychedelics are showing for these indications.

“I have a lot of optimism for the ability of ketamine & MDMA to accelerate the healing & recovery path — not as a quick fix, and not necessarily as a standalone substitute for conventional treatments, but paired with specialized care.”
