  • Psilocybin vs Depression: Why This Research Changes Everything | Raw Minds S2 Ep. 72
    Jan 30 2026

    Psilocybin and mushrooms for mental health are changing how doctors and researchers approach PTSD, depression, anxiety, addiction, and sleep. In this Raw Minds Podcast episode, host Erick sits down with Michael from Spores MD for a real, grounded conversation about trauma, healing, and what the research actually says.

    This episode is not hype. It is not medical advice. It is about real research, lived experience, and responsible discussion.

    Michael breaks down current research on psilocybin and treatment resistant depression, PTSD, anxiety, addiction recovery, sleep, and neuroplasticity. Erick shares his personal experience using mushrooms during one of the darkest periods of his life and how it helped him step away from suicidal ideation.

    They also dive into functional mushrooms including Lion’s Mane, Turkey Tail, Reishi, Cordyceps, and Muscimol, covering nerve growth, immune health, deep sleep, stress regulation, and long-term mental wellness.

    This episode is for men who feel stuck, numb, burned out, or exhausted from trying the same answers that never worked. It is about safety, responsibility, curiosity, and healing.
