The Plant Medicine For PTSD Podcast

22. Psychedelics for Trauma Healing: Plant Medicine Fundamentals (Microdosing, Safety, Intention)

Dr. David Zwoboda

In this episode, I break down what we mean when we say medicine (not just “drugs”), who this work is for, and why jumping straight into a massive dose or booking an ayahuasca/ibogaine retreat with zero preparation can be a terrible idea for most people. 

If you’ve had a bad trip, if you’re sober and conflicted, if you’re a veteran or first responder carrying PTSD, or if you’re just a normal human who’s been through some shit and wants more peace, presence, and connection - this conversation is for you. 

We also talk safety (including important mental health contraindications), set/setting, and why microdosing + mindfulness can be the foundation that changes everything.

If you’re ready to explore this the right way ...with structure, intention, and real integration... check out our work and resources.
