TALK DESCRIPTION:
With an epidemic rising in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions and a resurgence of interest in psychedelic medicines, it seems inevitable that the two fields will soon intertwine. Pharmacological and anecdotal evidence suggests that psychedelic compounds may have useful implications in the treatment of chronic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Emerging research is beginning to highlight the immune-modulating and anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds, as well as their effect on vagal nerve tone, the microbiome and psychological traumas that initiate autoimmune mechanisms in the body. Psychedelics address both psychospiritual and physiological elements of disease, providing a comprehensive and holistic approach to healing. This talk will thoroughly present existing evidence that psychedelics have potential to provide great relief in this area of medicine covering a broad range of relevant observed effects.
BIO
After struggling with her own battle with a complex chronic autoimmune illness, Caitlin Thompson applied her background in neurobiology and dove into the cutting edge scientific literature in order to understand and heal her condition. This led her down a health rabbit hole, realizing that lyme disease, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, microbiome dysbiosis and emotional trauma were at the root of her and many others’ autoimmune health challenges. Caitlin utilized psychedelics, as well as other modalities such as nutrition, diet, herbs, Kambo, mindfulness practice, neurofeedback training to successfully recover. Caitlin is an IAKP certified Kambo frog medicine practitioner out of San Diego, CA and the founder of the nutritional supplement company, EntheoZen. Caitlin also conducts scientific research on Kambo and is an associate of UCSD's department of integrative medicine research. She uses a variety of modalities and educational platforms to support and guide others on their healing path to achieving optimal mental wellness. Fun fact: She is the previous producer of the Aware Project San Diego events chapter.
