Why does stress drive psychopathology & transdiagnostic disease?

We present the Allostatic Triage Model of Psychopathology (ATP Model), which explains stress-induced transdiagnostic disease pathogenesis through a bioenergetic lens.

I was so proud to rock my Mitochondrial Psychobiology sweatshirt to this event and discuss the effects of psychedelics on systemic bioenergetics with everyone!

Sasha started this work while working as a chemist at Dow Chemical after developing the first biodegradable pesticide, but later left Dow and continued his work in this back yard laboratory.

Sasha shared his discoveries in two books, PiHKAL and TiHKAL that describe complete synthesis and the subjective effects of each compound. Thank you, Sasha for sharing your work freely in the spirit of discovery and collaborative understanding. A true inspiration for us all!

Incredibly grateful to have had the opportunity to visit the Shulgin lab last weekend.

Sasha Shulgin discovered the empathogenic properties of MDMA and first synthesized DOI, an important tool for psychedelic research, among myriad other important compounds.

Today is the last day for early bird registration for @ISRPsychedelics!

Are psychedelics anti-inflammatory?

Come to my talk to find out what we know.
