Iboga Insights: Neuro and Plant Science Explored
This Season was tough in terms of research and putting together show notes and questions. I really went outside of my comfort zone. My brain used a lot of glucose This Season, and you'll probably use a lot of glucose as well just listening to some of our conversations.
Curious about the intricate relationship between psychedelics and the brain? Season 3 of the 'Iboganautics' podcast, hosted by A.M., dives deep into the world of iboga—a powerful plant from Gabon. This season, titled 'Neuro & Plant Science', is all about understanding how iboga-type alkaloids influence our brain, their overlap with other hallucinogens, and the science behind ibogaine extraction. With expert guests like clinical psychologist Dr. Peter H. Addy and ketamine clinician Dr. Lowan H.
Stewart, you'll get a thorough look at the neurophysiological and phenomenological parallels between iboga, Salvia divinorum, and ketamine. Organic chemist Dr. Surajit Sinha also sheds light on lesser-known iboga-type alkaloids, while Dr. Chris Jenks, hailed as a pioneer in iboga extraction, shares his invaluable insights. This season isn't just for the scientifically inclined; it also touches on sustainable practices and the broader implications of plant sentience.
Whether you're a seasoned psychonaut or a newcomer, this podcast promises to expand your understanding of iboga's profound impact.
