What if the future of mental health isn’t about managing symptoms… but actually healing at the root?

In this episode of Channeled: Tapping into the Wisdom of Your Soul, Julie Edmonds sits down with Dr. Ryan Phillips, a naturopathic physician and public health-minded healer whose work bridges integrative mental health, mind-body medicine, and psychedelic-assisted therapy.

Dr. Phillips shares his surprising journey—from growing up on a corn farm in rural Indiana to spending over a decade doing public health work in remote Himalayan villages—before returning to the U.S. and stepping into the front lines of today’s mental health crisis.

Together, Julie and Dr. Phillips explore:

  • Why psychedelic-assisted therapy is not “just another medication”
  • How psilocybin and ketamine may support healing through neuroplasticity + neurogenesis
  • The real difference between a “good trip” and a therapeutic journey
  • Why preparation, set/setting, and integration determine outcomes
  • Microdosing vs macrodosing—and what people commonly get wrong
  • Why this medicine should be approached with humility, respect, and proper guidance

If you’ve ever been curious about psychedelics, healing trauma, or what real transformation can look like—this conversation is a grounded, eye-opening place to start.
