Food Scientist to Medium: Dr. Bryan Quoc Le on Consciousness, Psychedelics & the Afterlife
Dr. Bryan Quoc Le is a food scientist, chemist, consultant, lecturer, and author with a PhD in food science from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and degrees in chemistry from UC Irvine. But this conversation goes far beyond food. Bryan shares how the deaths of his father and later his mother changed the direction of his life and challenged his scientific worldview. After his mother was killed when a car struck her while she was riding her bicycle, Bryan says he began experiencing what felt like communication with her — including automatic writing and a remarkable experience involving money hidden inside her chair that nearly matched the cost of her funeral. We also get into his early fascination with psychedelic research, meditation, Burning Man, the emotional experience of burning his father's belongings at the Temple, mediumship, consciousness, spirituality, and the difficult question of how someone trained to rely on evidence makes sense of experiences that don't fit neatly inside conventional scientific models. It’s a conversation about science meeting the unexplained — and what happens when the two can no longer be kept in separate boxes.
