What is Clinically Informed?

The Power of Plants and Fungi

Fungi preceded plants and animals and share much of their DNA with these two kingdoms. We have only discovered and named a small fraction of fungi species.

After having practiced in a western medical model specializing in women’s health for decades, I subsequently studied the medicinal benefits of both the psychoactive and non-psychoactive cannabinoids and brought these into practice 15 years ago. Moving beyond the amazing benefits of the cannabis plant, I embarked on a journey into the magical world of mushrooms. In addition to having been inspired by The Multidisciplinary Association of Psychedelic Science Conference in Denver, I’ve had the good fortune to work aside Jeremy Widmann, PhD. at Do Good Ranch. The ranch, located on the western slope of Colorado treats veterans, first responders and others who suffer from PTSD with a “Hero’s Dose” of psilocybin.

I’m now treating patients with microdoses of psilocybin for depression, anxiety as well as creating a sense of well-being and of feeling connected with others. My interest in fungi has continued to evolve and now incorporates the medicinal benefits of functional mushrooms. Species such as Reishi, Turkey Tail, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps and Chaga can support various aspects of our wellbeing. Combining these powerful natural allies, along with healthy lifestyle choices, is a wonderful tool enhance our health.

Indigenous cultures from around the world have been utilizing plant and fungi medicines for millennia. Although the studies are bountiful, what we see clinically often precedes the studies. This is what I would call being Clinically Informed.
