Standing in the Circle with Menopause week 2: Experts Grace, Melissa, Mikaela

Melissa Whippo is a psychedelic psychotherapist and founder of Deva Collective. Their 1st study is a naturalistic observational survey of perimenopausal women who microdose San Pedro. We also talk about PMDD, late ADHD diagnosis, rage, and the crone. Dr Grace Blest-Hopley is a neuroscientist and founder of Hystelica, the 1st research organisation focused on women's biology and psychedelic use. She talks about HRT, why oestrogen and psychedelics may share pathways, and body set. Mikaela de la Myco is a lay womb practitioner working with herbs, water and story. She talks about steams and bajos, and the phrase ‘plant medicine.'
