What I discuss with Jesse Gould Jesse Gould joins me in this episode of the Passion Struck podcast to discuss his mission to help military veterans struggling with mental trauma and spread awareness of the benefits of psychedelic therapies as an alternative treatment to pharmaceuticals.  For centuries, indigenous healers and Native Americans have used psychedelic plants for therapy and medical treatment. Ayahuasca, for instance, has been used over 5000 years to facilitate personal and collective healing. During ceremonies, healers would often help provide recovery and reconcile the trauma people had experienced. Over the past century, psychedelics were labeled as illicit drugs and prohibited. Jesse's goal is to change that and legalize their use for mental health ailments. 0:00 Teaser and announcements 2:37 Introduction of Jesse Gould 4:28 Participating in the 4x4x48 to support veteran non-profits 7:50 Why he founded the Heroic Hearts Project. 12:17 The benefits of treatments from psilocybin, ayahuasca, and MDMA 17:44 The path to legalizing psychedelic drugs for clinical use 22:43 MDMA intervention is having almost a 66 to 67% success rate 25:36 Why is Big Pharma doing everything it can to block its adoption? 28:36 The protocol in terms of the dosage of MDMA  30:55 How psilocybin is administered 32:22 How is Ketamine used for PTSD 41:58 The nature of side effects and how often they occur 47:40 Why your traumas is what develops you and makes you who you are 51:24 How to obtain services from Heroic Hearts 54:33 Episode wrap-up Where you can find Jesse Gould * Website: https://www.heroicheartsproject.org/ * LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jesse-gould/ * Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/weheroichearts/ * Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heroicheartsproject/ -- Welcome to Passion Struck podcast, a show where you get to join me in exploring the mindset and philosophy of the world's most inspiring everyday heroes to learn their lessons to living intentionally.
