Healing Intentions

In this episode I interview Christi Myers. Christi founded Flow Integrative® in 2020 with a mission to normalize psychedelic therapies for growth, symptom reduction and overall wellness for all. Christi recognizes the global mental health crisis and has a clear vision to “help the help” by providing supportive services for front-line workers and service men and women who face chronic and complex trauma in their line of work. Myers’ career began in 1999 where she served several agencies including the Department of Defense, American Medical Response, Life Flights, San Bernardino County Fire and Sheriff Department, and the Department of Justice. With experience sitting in the front row, Christi understands firsthand the unique, invisible, and cumulative toll of witnessing indirect human trauma daily, as demanded of emergency response personnel, and the few methods of support available for the well-being of these professionals. Graced by grit, and fueled by gratitude, Myers and the team she has formed share a desire to help mankind and to lift us all up to drive us forward as a conscious collective.

Dr. Maysa Alavi, MD is a board-certified physician and internationally recognized speaker, practitioner, and teacher of Psychedelic Therapies, Ketamine Administration, and Integrative Medicine. She unites cutting-edge Western science with Eastern wellness philosophies to heal mind, body and spirit in what she terms ‘Functional-Psychedelic Medicine,’ addressing the psycho-spiritual as well as the material. She has studied at best-in-class institutions and organizations including The University of Southern California, University of Texas, UCLA, Institute for Functional Medicine, and Dr. Andrew Weil Center for Integrative Medicine. Dr. Maysa is certified in MDMA Assisted Therapy by the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), and she is trained in psilocybin assisted therapy with COMPASS Pathways. Among her many roles are Study-Site Physician and Therapist for the MAPS Phase 3 Clinical Trials investigating the use of MDMA Assisted Therapy for the treatment of PTSD. She will be among the first providers to bring this form of therapy to the general public pending FDA approval. Dr. Maysa teaches for Fluence in the field of Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP) and she conducts small group trainings for medical professionals looking to start their own ketamine practice, teaching the fundamentals of psychedelic preparation and integration, and how to medically screen for and administer ketamine by its various routes. She is a consultant for start-up practices entering the psychedelic market and she serves on the Board of Advisors for the Veteran’s Alliance for Holistic Alternatives (VAHA). She has given many lectures on the topics of psychedelics, cannabis, and ketamine for the New Orleans Psychedelic Society and Cultivating Self, a non-profit continuing education platform for licensed healthcare professionals and RNs. Dr. Maysa humanizes health care by developing trusted personal relationships with her clients, empowering them to understand the root causes of their dis-ease and helping them connect with their own inner healing intelligence for long-term wellness. This goes above and beyond typical “symptom management medicine” by identifying and bringing awareness to the issue’s origin and its perpetuating and mediating factors. She incorporates multiple modalities into her practice—from functional labs, nutraceuticals and IV infusions to energy work, plant and psychedelic medicines and mind-body techniques. She works with clients to develop balanced healing plans that combine mind-manifesting therapies and advanced laboratory analysis with wellness approaches that nurture wholeness. Her plans include customized guidance on hydration, nutrition, breath-work, meditation, movement, stress-reduction, sleep optimization, supplementation, medication reconciliation and/or tapering for those on pharmaceuticals, and laboratory analysis. She applies her in-depth knowledge of traditional and indigenous plant medicines like psychedelic mushrooms, cannabis, ayahuasca, rapeh, kambo, salvia and sananga by educating clients on the safe and appropriate usage of these and other medicines. Dr. Maysa believes that simple changes yield meaningful results, namely: proper salt/mineral and water balance in the body, utilization of the light/energy spectrum, awareness of breath and optimizing airway and sleep, joyful movement, conscious consumption, and connection with community and one’s own inner world. She believes regular reboots of our “inner computer” are critical and can be accessed through mind-manifesting therapies including, but not limited to psychedelics and entheogens (heart openers). She is a huge proponent of daily meditation and Blessing of The Energy Centers.

In this episode I interview Steve Farrar. Steve has been involved in specialty agriculture and organic food production systems for his entire professional life. He has been active in various aspects of mycology and mushroom production for over 35 years. His initial focus was on the production of specialty, gourmet mushrooms for sale to restaurants and fresh produce markets. He has been involved in the planning, startup and operation of several mushroom farms and has served as a consultant and mushroom equipment broker to mushroom farms all over the world. He has commercially produced many mushroom species as fresh produce items including Oyster, Enoki, Maitake, Shiitake, King Trumpet and Shimeji mushrooms. Starting in 2007, his focus turned to the production and processing of selected species of medicinal, nutraceutical mushrooms for use as functional food and dietary supplement ingredients. M2 Ingredients, Inc. (M2i), the company he cofounded with Dr. Sandra Carter in 2010, is currently growing and processing 11 species of functional/medicinal mushrooms in an indoor farm located in Carlsbad, CA utilizing a proprietary Solid State Fermentation process that consistently produces high-quality mushroom powders.

In this episode I interview Andrew DeAngelo. Andrew is a visionary leader with a proven track record of enacting systemic social change and developing best practices in cannabis — he is the very definition of a trailblazer and someone who has proudly walked the road less traveled. During his almost 13-year tenure at Harborside, where he currently serves as an advisor, Andrew has pioneered legal cannabis business processes and provided groundbreaking political engagement and thought leadership to the cannabis community. Andrew also lends his vast cannabis business and political expertise as a consultant for hire to the global community at large, including several strategic partnerships with the world's leading cannabis-centric service firms. Andrew led the design and development of gold-standard cannabis retail by innovating many “firsts” for the industry. These include: introducing CBD medicines to heal severely epileptic children as documented in Discovery Channel’s Weed Wars, implementing the first lab-testing program in the history of cannabis dispensing, creating child-resistant packaging for edibles, standardizing inventory tracking, initiating senior outreach, and successfully preventing the federal government from seizing Harborside in forfeiture actions against the company in 2012. Andrew is co-founder and Chairperson of the Board for the non-profit Last Prisoner Project (LPP). LPP’s mission is to free and re-integrate all cannabis prisoners on earth into mainstream society. Since its inception in 2019, LPP has successfully re-integrated the formerly incarcerated and 2020 will be the year LPP frees its first constituent. Andrew is also a founding Board of Directors member of the California Cannabis Industry Association (CCIA), the premier cannabis industry trade association in California, where he served from 2013 to 2020 building the organization from zero to 500 member companies. CCIA continues to represent the industry in California as it works on reforming Prop 64 to improve the legal and regulatory framework for cannabis trade throughout the state. Graduating with honors from Chapman University with a BFA degree in Communications & Theatre, Andrew began his political career as an activist while studying for his MFA in acting at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco. Over two decades as an activist, Andrew worked on a variety of voter initiatives which legalized medical and adult-use cannabis in San Francisco, Washington D.C, and the State of California. Andrew and his brother Steve recently formed DeAngelo Brothers Productions (DAB), which intends to produce, support, and distribute cannabis content over a variety of mediums and platforms. DAB’s mission is “to create new mythologies for cannabis in pop culture, smashing the stigma of the lazy stoner and replacing it with fresh and positive representations of cannabis in society.” As a speaker, Andrew has appeared at the MJBusiness Daily Conference in Las Vegas, ICBC, NCIA conferences in Chicago/Boston/San Jose, Emerald Conference, and the U.S Cannabis Conference in Miami. Andrew is scheduled to present at 2020 conferences across the globe. Courses on cannabis business training led by Andrew are available online through Green Flower Media.

In this episode I interview Jeff Chilton. Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties and started working on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington in 1973. During the next 10 years he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of agaricus mushrooms per year and was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest US fresh shiitake sales in 1978. In the late seventies he was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethnomycology, and mushroom cultivation. During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator, which was published in 1983. In the 1980’s he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the US nutritional supplement industry. He traveled extensively in China during the 1990’s, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms.
