E89: Mental Health Crutches vs Treatments with Peggy Van de Plassche

Today’s guest, Peggy Van de Plassche, shares how she went from negative and anxious to positive and fully engaged in life. The key was psilocybin. Working in finance for the last 20 years, Peggy spent half of that time on a healing treadmill. Wanting to stay away from prescription drugs, or any drugs for that matter, Peggy was hesitant when she started hearing about psychedelics for mental health. After much research, Peggy decided to give psilocybin a try as it was plant based. When she started to feel its healing effects, Peggy closed her business, stopped all public speaking on finance, and started spreading the word about psychedelics. She wrote a book chronicling her journey, Paris, Mushrooms, and Me, in just 10 days.

 

Peggy doesn’t want to shame anyone that uses traditional mental health treatments, such as prescription drugs, she just wants people to better understand their role. Prescription drugs are great at reducing symptoms, but they don’t actually solve the underlying problem. If you need a temporary crutch to lean on during a tough time, prescription drugs work great. If you want to actually rewire your brain, to change the way you think and move past your mental health struggles, psychedelics are worth looking into. 

 

What You’ll Learn:

• How to figure out the right dose for you. 
• Why you need to be intentional about psychedelic treatment.
• What neuroplasticity is.
• And much more!
