Can Wearable Technology Help Alleviate Stress? ⌚ Can Wearable Technology Help Alleviate Stress? ⌚

Many wearable devices have been shown to help with stress. These are pieces of wearable technology that use sensors to monitor biometrics like heart rate, and even can make interventions to promote better health. One similar tool —that has been proven to work in scientific studies— is the Apollo™ wearable. However, rather than passively tracking your biometrics, it actively improves your health and wellbeing.

A finalist in the World Changing Ideas Awards of 2021, the @apolloneuro wearable is a watch-sized stress relief device that delivers soothing vibrations to your nervous system, harnessing the power of touch therapy. Developed by neuroscientists and physicians, Apollo helps you recover from stress more quickly, so you can sleep better, relax, and focus.

Because of its ability to reduce stress and promote feelings of safety, the Apollo wearable has also been a helpful addition for patients undergoing psychedelic-assisted therapy. In fact, Apollo Neuro is the only wearable technology with an issued patent to reduce unpleasant and undesired experiences associated with medicine assisted psychotherapy —including psychedelics and traditional medicine. One could easily imagine how such a technology could be used to help induce a “good trip”, and avoid bad ones.

💥 GoDaddy Founder Bob Parsons on Psychedelics a 💥 GoDaddy Founder Bob Parsons on Psychedelics and PTSD: Pt1️⃣ 

@drbobparsons is a wildly successful businessman, entrepreneur, self-made billionaire and founder of GoDaddy. What few people know about Bob, however, is that he is also a Vietnam War veteran. 💣

His time in the military — for better or worse— ended up shaping a good majority of his adulthood. While the military taught Bob discipline, he returned to the USA with PTSD, which was left untreated for decades.

For this interview, Bob Parsons sat down with David Flores, CEO of Psychedelic Spotlight. The two discussed Bob’s time in the war, his PTSD, and how after decades of suffering, he was finally able to treat it using psychedelic medicines.

Today, Bob, helps fund much of the psychedelic research that is currently underway across North America.

Five Amazing Mushroom Facts 🍄 Mushrooms have Five Amazing Mushroom Facts 🍄 

Mushrooms have a unique lifecycle.🔄 
Mushrooms are fungi and grow differently than fruits and vegetables. Mushrooms begin life as fungal spores. When spores germinate, they grow into a lacy, filament-like root network called mycelium. Have you ever seen a mushroom grow in the wild?🤔

You need a bit of science to grow mushrooms.🔬 
Mushrooms grow under precise conditions. Mushroom farms are typically indoors so farmers can easily mimic mother nature’s perfect conditions. Heat, humidity, and air flow  vary between different strands of mushrooms. 

Mushrooms don’t need light to grow. ☀️ 
Unlike green plants that function through photosynthesis, fungi gather nourishment from compost. Mushroom farmers use a variety of growing mediums such as straw, corn cobs, cocoa hulls, or oats. 

Mushrooms are grown in all 50 states.🍄 
Mushrooms grow on a year-round cycle indoors, and edible mushrooms are grown everywhere! There is likely a local producer near you. 

Mushrooms are gentle on our Blue home.🌏 
Mushrooms are one of the most sustainably-produced food sources in the USA. They use limited growing space and you can grow them indoors.  In fact, 1 acre can produce up to 1 million pounds of mushrooms annually! They require little energy to grow. Fungi often grow in the dark and a small amount of electricity is used to harvest or monitor the mushrooms. This makes them very energy efficient! It takes about 1.8 gallons of 💧  to produce 1 gallon of mushrooms. 

@mushroomcouncil

Let's give a shoutout to @alchemimushrooms for the fantastic artwork!

Measuring Psychedelic Integration ☯️ ⚖️ Measuring Psychedelic Integration ☯️ ⚖️ 

Integration is an essential part of psychedelic therapy, and now there is a new scale for measuring psychedelic integration.

A recent paper has been published with the first ever validated scales for measuring psychedelic integration. 

Published in Frontiers in Psychology, the paper represents a step forward in the way that clinicians may apply and measure integration throughout psychedelic therapy.

The publication produced two scales, each measuring different aspects of integration.

 One, the Integration Engagement Scale (IES) measures the behavioral changes following a psychedelic experience. Patients will answer questions such as, “I’ve found ways to carry the intentions I had for my experience into my daily life.” and, “Because of my [psychedelic] experience, I’ve prioritized my overall wellness.”

The other, the Experienced Integration Scale (EIS), taps into the psychological landscape of the person after their psychedelic session.

That is, this scale attempts to measure whether the patients’ mental well being, their emotional balance, and their sense of self changed for the better. This scale contains questions such as, “I feel greater self-awareness during my experience,” and, “I feel harmony between my experience and my inner being.”

Through the use of these scales, researchers and clinicians can begin to understand how to help effectively integrate the often ineffable psychedelic experience. For example, researchers may use different styles of integration in a psychedelic therapeutic protocol, and see whether one style is more effective than the other based on these scales.
