I can look at my day any day, any week, Any Year, and list out all of the things I've failed to do, or I can list out all of the things I've achieved, and they're two entirely different perspectives, and I feel that's why that's what I was shown.
Ever wondered how a scientist tackles depression? In this episode of Root Medicine, Dr. Kate Stone, a creative physicist and tech innovator, opens up about her unique journey. Originally from the UK and now based in Los Angeles, Dr. Stone's life is filled with interactive technology and adventurous pursuits. Yet, despite her vibrant career and personal life, she faced the daunting challenge of depression and anxiety. Dr.
Stone shares her initial apprehensions about trying ibogaine, a powerful psychedelic derived from the West African shrub iboga. With almost no prior experience with psychedelics, she ventured into the unknown, hoping for relief. What she discovered was not a quick fix but a profound journey of self-discovery. She recounts witnessing the most significant moments of her life during her ibogaine experience, which reshaped her understanding of herself and her mental health.
The episode dives into the reality of post-ibogaine lows and how these experiences have helped Dr. Stone better understand her depression triggers. She emphasizes the importance of being open and curious, debunking the myth that a single psychedelic trip can solve mental health issues. Instead, she highlights the ongoing process of facing life's ups and downs. Dr. Stone also touches on the impact of technology on our lives.
As someone who creates interactive posters and other magical tech, she discusses the benefits of digital detoxes and living without a smartphone. Her insights offer a refreshing perspective on balancing technology and mindfulness. Listeners will find hope and encouragement in Dr. Stone's story. It's a reminder that mental health journeys are complex and multifaceted, requiring both introspection and external support. Tune in to hear how creativity, science, and psychedelics intertwine in the quest for mental well-being.
