Sometimes those tools have stigma put upon them by society, but with conversations and medical research, this week\u2019s guest, Len Wiens, is hopeful that the tides may change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Len and I have a fascinating conversation around the use of psychedelics to treat addiction, OCD, PTSD, and even end of life anxiety. As a researcher on the nature of perception, meaning, consciousness and the nature of reality, Len shares the history of psychedelics and what we can do to start to remove the stigma that alternative treatments have in our culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While neither Len nor I are medical professionals, there truly is emerging evidence to support psychedelic therapy. And those in this community see a lot of hope and optimism around their acceptance. Listen in to us walking through some of the challenges of using psychedelics and where the practice may go in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.simplecast.com\/91832c36-4d88-49f9-9fc5-4a9e0d71ee4f?dark=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200px\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" seamless=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">About Len Wiens:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Len is a technology entrepreneur with a successful start-up in Canada&#8217;s Top 100 growth companies and an avid researcher on the nature of perception, meaning, consciousness and the nature of reality.\u00a0 He supports select people on their healing journey, with a focus on depression, addiction and end-of-life care.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Mentioned In This Episode:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/p\/92a987351a03\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow Len on Medium<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hopkinsmedicine.org\/psychiatry\/research\/psychedelics-research.html\">John Hopkins Center for Psychedelic &amp; Consciousness Research<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/wellness-webinars\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wellness Webinar<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"http:\/\/expertinhope.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Expert in Hope<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lindsay Recknell | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Expert in Hope<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/expertinhope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/lindsay-recknell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LinkedIn<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lindsayrecknell\/\">Insta<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lindsayrecknell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">g<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/lindsayrecknell\/\">ram<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.expertinhope.com\/shop\/\">Take Hope Home!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Listen to this and all episodes of the Hope Motivates Action podcast wherever you listen to your favourite content.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph --><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Research uncovers new possibilities every day for mental health treatments, oftentimes looking more closely at products that are already within our reach.
