OPTIMIZE YOUR LIFE WITH AUBREY & WHITNEY


  1. I always look forward to and get something from each one of your podcasts, but this was far my least favorite podcast. Psychedelic “medicine”?! Like the last comment, “no. Just no.”
    I still love you guys.

  2. I like your post especially, Question. I want to know answers to some questions you mention above. I wanna see the video of these questioning sessions. If you have uploaded anywhere on internet please give me the link…

  3. I am sad for all of the people who are turned off just by the nature of this episode. I have a feeling that if they took the time to explore the MAPS website, they would see that psychedelics can truly be used as functional medicine-the research is there and now it is up to the people to read it. They never say that psychedelics are for everyone in this episode (just like not all pharmaceuticals are for everyone). People who would really benefit from these medicines are not able to get the help they need because people tend to hear/read the word “psychedelic” and immediately write it off.
