Could Mushrooms Be the Drug to Finally Cure Eating Disorders? │ The Cut

I was interviewed by The Cut along with other wonderful people who are doing amazing research on the impact of psychedelics on eating disorder recovery.

I find this title a bit misleading but nonetheless, I still think it's an insightful article.

In eating disorders, one often holds negative self-image and feels encouraged to repeat maladaptive behaviors around eating, exercising, and weight monitoring.

Psychedelics and plant medicine are known to affect the structure of the brain that upholds the various cognitive processing related to introspection and self-reflection. No drug has been shown to break these connections, and it seems that psychedelics seem to be able to facilitate that.
