Dr. Jeannie Fontana | Charting the Future of Safe and Accessible Psychedelic Therapies

What would it take to bring psychedelic-assisted therapies fully into the mainstream of medicine?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jeannie Fontana to explore the vital importance of creating a state funding agency for psychedelic-assisted therapies. We draw from the groundbreaking California model for stem cell research, which transformed an underfunded, controversial area into a thriving, well-regulated field that now produces FDA-approved treatments.

Dr. Fontana and I explore this vision called the T.R.E.A.T. initiative (Treatments, Research, Education, Access, and Therapies) could shape a future where healing with psychedelics is safe, ethical, and available to all.This conversation is about more than just funding—it’s about building a movement that integrates science, ethics, and compassion to transform mental health care for generations to come.

We Also Discuss:
● The lessons from California’s stem cell research success
● How dedicated funding accelerates breakthroughs into real therapies
● The T.R.E.A.T. vision in building infrastructure and access
● Setting high standards of safety and ethics in therapy
● The collaboration between science and indigenous wisdom
● Reducing stigma through education and public discourse
