Episode Details

This week’s Q&A is a doozy. You know, when I started doing these solo episodes, I really thought they’d be shorter than my interviews. But, as it turns out, I have a lot to say about this stuff! There’s just so much information out there — and misinformation — and I want to make sure you all get the best and most comprehensive answers I can provide.

If you want to ask a question for a future episode, come join The Life Stylist Podcast Facebook Group. You can watch the next episode live, ask questions to both me and the group, and build a community of like-minded biohackers. 

Plus, if I don’t get to your question on a future episode, one of our brilliant members will almost certainly help you out (and probably with an even better answer). The amount of knowledge and the enthusiasm of members is astonishing, and as you’ll learn in this episode, I have some big plans for the community in 2020.

00:12:00 — Michael asks: Any updates on the aftermath of your Rhythmia experience?

• Since this question was posted, I went back to Costa Rica for four more ayahuasca ceremonies, this time at Soltara.
• On February 18th, I’m dropping a two-part episode documenting the entire experience in a play-by-play gonzo reporting podcast series, just like the Rythmia episodes. 
• Then on February 21st, I’m posting a special bonus show where I do a deep dive comparison between the two Costa Rican ayahuasca centers. 
• I also recently participated in 3 different peyote ceremonies and recorded a podcast about that whole experience, which will be released this spring.

00:16:40 — That said, after Rhythmia, I would say the changes I feel are:

• I feel much less triggered emotionally
• Psychic wounds are healed; old memories have lost their ‘charge'
• Much less dependent on my spiritual practices to stay connected to god
• I’ve been microdosing ayahuasca before bed, which has helped me stay connected
• Looking forward to experimenting with some other plant medicines when it feels right
• Ayahuasca is not for everyone. It's a serious commitment and not something I would promote. It has to be something you are personally drawn to partake in. But for me, it was incredibly expanding, and something I foresee becoming a semi-regular part of my healing journey.
