Join us as we explore:

  • The psychedelic renaissance is here. What does that mean from a South African psychiatrist’s point of view.
  • What psychedelics are, the wide spectrum of diagnoses/disorders they address and how their potential is supercharged by intentionally designed psychotherapy.
  • The psychedelic options available today, what could be coming soon and how Dr Moola has seen how just three deep dose sessions in 6 months leave patients free of disorders and medication.
  • The catastrophic crisis of mental health that has only been made more confusing and complex by failing interventions without effective outcomes, and the incredible promise psychedelics offer as a revolutionary way forward.
  • What integrative psychology is, and its role in doing a “dopamine detox”.
  • How nutrition, light diet, movement and lifestyle are as crucial to psychiatric care as medication.
  • Why patients don’t need to hear a diagnosis. They need to hear a solution!
