066 | Psilocybin Mushrooms for Women's Mental, Physical and Spiritual Health
Manage episode 375201024 series 3461142
Jennifer Chesak is an award-winning freelance science and medical journalist, editor, and fact-checker based in Nashville, Tennessee. She earned her master of science degree in journalism from Northwestern University’s Medill. And her work has appeared in the Washington Post, Healthline, Better Homes and Gardens, The Daily Beast, B*tch, and more.
Her most recent book is The Psilocybin Handbook for Women: How Magic Mushrooms, Psychedelic Therapy, and Microdosing Can Benefit Your Mental, Physical, and Spiritual Health. Her mission here as a journalist stems from being a woman who has been fed up with women being left behind by the medical system. In this episode she shares some of the events that led her to psilocybin, and writing this book.
Jennifer actually interviewed me for the set and setting chapter of this book, so you can find me in chapter 10! I wanted to bring her on the show to share everything she’s learned while writing this book. She has a wealth of information from how to microdose and trip sit to understanding the latest psychedelic research, and incorporating indigenous wisdom. The Psilocybin Handbook for Women is a resource for everyone, although it features information specific to those assigned female at birth—because psychedelics may have different effects and applications across the sexes.
Topics covered:
- Why do we need a book on psilocybin for women?
- Health condition women tend to self-treat with psilocybin
- Ways psilocybin affects women differently than men
- How psychedelics affect the menstrual cycle
- Can psilocybin regulate the menstrual cycle?
- Microdosing mushrooms and the menstrual cycle
- The optimal menstrual phase to have a mushroom journey
- Two Eyed Seeing: Bridging science and ingenious wisdom
- Psilocybin for people who are breastfeeding or pregnant
