From serving medicine to company founder: NANA founder Flor Bollini

Business Trip

Today's episode features Flor Bollini, founder of NANA, an online platform that guides patients on using psychedelic medicine for holistic healing.

NANA provides personalized protocols based on an assessment of your mental, emotional and physical health. From there you are partnered with a Nana or guide who leads telemedicine therapy that incorporates ketamine, cannabis and CBD.

Flor hopes these protocols will become best practices for patients, clinics, and the psychedelic medicine ecosystem.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Why Flor transitioned from serving medicine to company founder
• Developing protocols where the FDA doesn’t regulate
• The benefits of progressive dosing
• Her experiences with 5-MeO-DMT and Iboga. “The Everest of psychedelics” as she calls them.
