Curing Mental Illness with Psychedelics

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Psychedelics saved my life,” says Payton Nyquvest. “Now [I’m] on a mission to pay that forward.” Nyquvest is the CEO of Numinus Wellness, a publicly traded Vancouver start-up that manufactures such illegal psychedelics as MDMA and psilocybin for clinical drug trials. The intent is to determine how effective they are as a therapy for mental illness. And if their potential pans out, Numinus Wellness wants to administer the drugs to patients in guided sessions across the continent. In this episode, the second of a two-part series, host Shaun Francis walks Nyquvest through his fascinating life story, his predictions for the future of psychedelic therapies—and how ayahuasca kickstarted his journey.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.eatmovethinkpodcast.com/podcast/ep-85-psychedelics-and-wellness-part2"> Episode 85 webpage</a>.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href= "https://www.eatmovethinkpodcast.com/podcast/ep-84-psychedelics-and-wellness"> Part one of the series.</a></span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>LINKS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Check out</span> <a href= "https://numinus.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Numinus Wellness</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and read Payton Nyquvest’s bio</span> <a href= "https://numinus.com/blog/team/payton-nyquvest/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.
