“There’s a lot of tradition and culture involved with the treatment and consumption of psychedelics that needs to be honored because of the nature of how all of it really started out years and years ago. We’re just kind of coming about it right now, and there’s a lot of wisdom there that we can understand,” says Gary Seelhorst, a pharma, biotech, and functional wellness executive. In this episode, he joins Liesl Bernard to talk about how psychedelics and functional wellness are redefining treatment for conditions like PTSD and depression, especially for veterans and elite athletes. Gary explains why diagnostics and preparation are important, and why integration work is often the most transformative part of the healing process.
Drawing from his personal health journey and years in big pharma, Gary discusses the need for a holistic shift in wellness—one that prioritizes root causes over symptoms. He shares actionable insights for leveraging tools like neurofeedback, meditation, and customized health protocols.
Join Gary and Liesl’s discussion as they challenge conventional approaches to health and explore how psychedelics can unlock new paths for resilience and recovery.
Quotes
- “I started to really understand the power of plant medicine. And then it was really more an experience that I’d had just before that, in the compounding pharmacy space, that I started to learn a little bit more about what naturopaths did because they were ordering a lot of products through the compounding pharmacy, with vitamin infusions, peptides, hormones, all those kinds of things. And that’s really what I think turned me into such a fan of functional health in general, and eventually plant medicine, if indicated.” (03:29 | Gary Seelhorst)
- “It’s really more about how effective the program is in which these different drugs are used, and that’s really the value. There’s a lot of pre-work you need to do in order to get to a space where it’s going to be effective—there’s the set and setting, and the dosing around the actual treatment. And then there’s all the work afterwards that needs to be employed as well, and that’s probably the biggest part.” (06:36 | Gary Seelhorst)
- “As a scientist, I like to kind of test a lot of hypotheses in general and work through all the different types of psychedelics that are out there. There’s a lot of tradition and culture involved with the treatment and consumption of psychedelics that needs to be honored because of the nature of how all of it really started out years and years ago. We’re just kind of coming about it right now, and there’s a lot of wisdom there that we can understand.” (14:49 | Gary Seelhorst)
