This week, we welcome Ahmed Tahseen, a doctor, psychiatrist, and scientist whose residency at Yale University School of Medicine focused on pioneering research into the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. Join us for a thought-provoking exploration that traverses the intersections of sports, systemic issues, and mental health.

Ahmed sparks engaging discussions on the evolving accessibility of sports like the NBA and NFL contrasted with the barriers inherent in sports like tennis, where economic privilege often dictates participation. He provocatively critiques the Winter Olympics as the "Privilege Olympics," shedding light on the inequities embedded in competitive sports. Our conversation delves into systemic racism within healthcare and sports, addressing societal structures that perpetuate disparities rather than addressing fundamental inequalities.

Ahmed also offers a critical examination of medical school admissions practices, highlighting how diversity initiatives sometimes overshadow principles of meritocracy. Moving into the realm of psychedelic therapy, we explore its transformative potential, particularly in treating PTSD. Judah candidly shares personal insights on his psychedelic journey, underscoring its profound impact on his healing process and anxiety management. Together, we navigate the complexities of the conscious and subconscious minds, seeking to integrate and harmonize our internal narratives for holistic personal growth. Jeremiah punctuates our dialogue with a poignant quote from Dune: "Dreams are messages from the deep."

Join us for an illuminating episode where Ahmed's expertise and our hosts' reflections converge, offering profound perspectives on societal challenges, mental health advocacy, and the promising frontiers of psychedelic research.
