Tk Wonder & Cipriana Quann : How Ibogaine Stopped Our Emotional Eating & Healed

08.10.2025•47:01

This episode gave me goosebumps — and you’ll understand why soon. Today, I’m speaking with the identical twin sisters Cipriana Quann and TK Wonder, hosts of the Chew on Something podcast and founders of Urban Bush Babes, a lifestyle platform celebrating the multi-faceted lives of women of color. Cipriana is a former Vogue writer; TK Wonder is a rapper and singer who’s opened for artists like Nas and Afrika Bambaataa. Together, they’ve starred in campaigns for Fendi, Valentino, Tiffany & Co., Sephora, and more. I first saw them years ago in New York City during my Condé Nast days — two striking women shaping culture and fashion. I never imagined that years later, they’d be sitting on The New Health Club podcast couch in Denver with Joe Moore from Psychedelics Today and me, sharing one of the most powerful healing stories I’ve ever heard. Cipriana and TK open up about surviving sexual, physical, and childhood abuse — and how, for years, they used sugar and comfort food to numb the pain. Their discovery of Ibogaine, a plant medicine known for its deep psychological healing, completely transformed their relationship with their bodies and their health. This is a story about sisterhood, resilience, and the power of psychedelics to help us finally face what we’ve been running from — and heal for good. In this episode: How trauma shapes our relationship with food The healing potential of Ibogaine From fashion icons to wellness voices What real transformation looks like after trauma ✨ How we used food to numb our trauma — and how Ibogaine helped us heal from it.

Dr. Christopher Timmermann - Stripped-Down Consciousness : Exploring 5-MEO -DMT

27.08.2025•45:50

Dr. Christopher Timmermann is neuroscientist and co-director of the UCL Centre for Consciousness Research in London. He obtained a BSc in Psychology in Santiago, Chile and an MSc in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Bologna in Italy. He was also leading one of the first DMT research groups at Imperial College London.His empirical and theoretical work focuses on the neuroscience, psychiatry, psychology, and beliefs of psychedelics, their relationship to consciousness and applications in mental health. The work he has led has been published in high-regarded journals, and has been widely covered by mass media outlets. He also founded and is the director of an educational non-profit in Chile, the ECOH Foundation.He is the expert on 5MeO DMT right, which has been dubbed the “Mount Everest of psychedelics,” and fittingly, Timmermann writes, “its experiences are often referred to as “whiteouts.” But beyond its ability to eliminate the sense of space and time, its most interesting effect lies in the way it dissolves the self. This is key. The question of whether the self is necessary for consciousness to occur has been debated by philosophers for thousands of years — and it remains unsettled. But with 5MeO, something completely different happens: It radically deconstructs all possible worlds, sparing only awareness.IG: christophertimmermannOUR INFO: IG: @the.newhealthclub @thenewhealthinstitute Website: https://www.thenewhealthinstitute.org/ Hosted on Acast.

Leor Roseman, PHD - The Chemistry of Compassion in Times of Conflict

07.08.2025•42:03

Dr. Leor Roseman, Senior Lecturer and Psychedelic Researcher at the University of Exeter, has explore this avenue. His study “Relational Processes in Ayahuasca Groups of Palestinians and Israelis” a few years ago, was fascinating.I read about it in 2021, (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8170481/) and we recorded the first podcast. To me the idea made a lot of sense. Now, with the urgency amid the current situation after October 7th, his work seems more important than ever. In his scientific work Leor examines how psychedelics can serve as peacemaking tools by altering consciousness through a biopsychosocial lens, incorporating neuroscience, psychology, anthropology, and phenom enology. With a background at the Centre for Psychedelic Research at Imperial College London, under Prof. Robin Carhart-Harris and Prof. David Nutt, Leor was curious how psychedelics now can deliver a new peacemaking tool. His foundation Ripples, a non-profit dedicated to peace building supported by psychedelics, is now researching new ideas around understanding, without ignoring the actual conflict. The urgency right now is on the Israel and Palestine Conflict. But his work can be valid for other conflicted parties too. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
