For any of us that have been in the psychedelic space for even a short amount of time, it is easy to see that between individuals, there are many differences with regard to how these medicines operate within our minds, bodies & spirits. This being said, we can see this very clearly within the scope of men vs. women & one of the things I have been curious about for quite some time now is the idea of creating specialized frameworks for men vs. women within the psychedelic space as a whole. Well, my curiosity was finally resolved when I met today's guest & learned about her newest creation, “The Psilocybin Handbook For Women.” Within this book, she goes into great detail about all the latest research on the topic of psilocybin for women & in this episode, we take a deep dive into many of the subjects within the book to demystify this topic & illuminate some of the nuances for any of you women out there looking to maximize the potential of this medicine in your own lives.
