43. How Psychedelics Can Heal Trauma (When Used the Right Way!) with Payton Nyquvest
Healing is often presented as a straightforward path: visit the doctor, take the prescribed medication, follow the treatment plan. But what if true healing is far more complex—deeply rooted in both the mind and body?In this episode, I sit down with Payton Nyquvest, founder and CEO of Numinus, to explore the intersection of psychedelic therapy, trauma healing, and the ancient wisdom that modern medicine often overlooks.We’ll discuss how psychedelics influence neuroplasticity and memory processing, why they are not a shortcut to healing but rather a tool for deeper self-awareness, and the crucial distinction between therapeutic and recreational use. Payton also breaks down the mechanisms behind trauma storage in the body and how intentional psychedelic-assisted therapy may help unlock profound healing.As a leader in the integration of psychedelics into healthcare, Payton brings a grounded, evidence-based perspective to a topic that is often misunderstood. Whether you're curious about the science behind these therapies or simply seeking a deeper understanding of how to reconnect with yourself, this conversation offers invaluable insights.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Psychedelics and Ancient Wellness Integration(06:43) Daily Wellness Practices and Psychedelic Therapy(13:18) Therapeutic Potential of Psychedelic Therapy(21:25) Psychedelic Therapy(28:07) Healing Through Psychedelic Experiences(40:58) Psychedelic Therapy and the Science(50:35) Transformative Potential of Psychedelic Therapy(01:03:33) DMT Healing Ceremonies in TulumThank you to our sponsorFatty 15: Fatty15 is on a mission to optimize your C15:0 levels and help you live healthier, longer.
