The Psychology of Eating with Claire Turnbull

Many people start an exercise program in an attempt to lose weight, and end up disheartened when the scales don't move. New research shows that even without weight loss, exercise can have profound impact on how your fat cells behave, which in turn improves your metabolic health.

The take-home message - prioritise fitness, rather than the scales.

In this groundbreaking episode, we explore the rapidly evolving field of psychedelic-assisted therapy with Dr. Paul Liknaitzky, a leading researcher at the forefront of this innovative approach to mental health treatment. From the original and sometimes controversial studies of the 1960s to cutting-edge clinical trials today, we explore how substances once associated with counterculture are now at the forefront of mental health treatment. Dr. Liknaitzky reveals the fascinating synergy between psychedelics and psychotherapy, explaining why this combination holds such promise for treating depression, PTSD, and other mental health disorders. He discusses the latest findings on psilocybin, DMT, and MDMA, examining their unique properties and the scientific rationale behind their use in clinical settings.

Through a blend of scientific evidence, real-world examples, and thoughtful analysis, we navigate the complex landscape of regulatory challenges, brain imaging advancements, and the future directions of psychedelic studies. Dr. Liknaitzky also addresses common misconceptions, emphasising the importance of controlled environments and professional guidance in this field.

Whether you're a healthcare professional seeking to understand emerging treatments, someone curious about alternative approaches to mental health, or simply interested in the latest developments in psychology, this episode offers a balanced, informative look at a field that could significantly impact our approach to mental health care in the coming years.

Key Topics:


Historical context: Psychedelic studies from the 1960s to present


The synergy of psychedelics and psychotherapy in treatment


Importance of combining psychedelics with therapy for effective treatment


Regulatory challenges: Recent FDA decisions on psychedelic treatments


Ongoing research: Focus on psilocybin and future studies


Exploring DMT: Differences from traditional formulations


Promising psychedelics for treating depression


Brain imaging in psychedelic research: Using fMRI to track changes


Future directions in psychedelic studies


Potential impact of psychedelic therapy on relationships and family dynamics

Actionable Takeaways:


The effect of psychedelics is intensified by psychotherapy through a psychotherapeutic process. 


A productive and successful psychotherapy requires deep trust between patient and therapist.


Having your own psychedelic experience potentially improves your competency to be a good psychedelic therapist.


We should try to remain in conversation with reality. The critical thing to remain in a relationship with is the reality of real people's lives as we treat them after we treat them.


Psilocybin is a promising drug for psychedelic treatment of depression.


MDMA is an empathogen that massively increases tolerance for distress and allows you to feel incredibly comfortable.


Neuroimaging studies with Psilocybin and LSD cause our default mode network to get quiet.
