  #260 Tommaso Barba — The Science of Psychedelics: 5-MeO-DMT, Brain Aging & Mental Health

  Jul 30, 202648 min

  What happens when the brain temporarily lets go of the identity, memories, and personal story that make you feel like “you”? In this episode of the Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast, Claudia speaks with Tommaso Barba, psychedelic researcher at Imperial College London, whose work explores consciousness, ego dissolution, 5-MeO-DMT, mental health, relationships, and the nature of the self. Tommaso explains why psychedelics are returning to mainstream science after decades of prohibition, how psilocybin, LSD, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, MDMA, ketamine, and ibogaine differ, and why pharmaceutical companies are now investing heavily in psychedelic medicine. They examine the limitations of conventional psychiatric treatment, including the idea that depression is simply a chemical imbalance, and explore why psychedelic experiences may reach psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions that existing medications often do not address. Tommaso also shares his personal high-dose psilocybin experience, describing the dissolution of his identity, a sense of boundless awareness, and the challenge of returning to ordinary life after experiencing profound presence and connection. This conversation does not present psychedelics as casual shortcuts. It explores the importance of preparation, set and setting, skilled facilitation, integration, contraindications, and the cultural structures needed to support these powerful experiences safely. IN THIS EPISODE • Why psychedelics are entering mainstream medicine • How psychedelic research was halted for decades • Psilocybin, LSD, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, MDMA, ketamine, and ibogaine • Why depression is more complex than a chemical imbalance • How set, setting, and integration shape outcomes • Why unsupported psychedelic use can become destabilizing • How 5-MeO-DMT is being used to study consciousness • What ego dissolution can feel like • Neuroplasticity, psychological flexibility, and mental health • Who may not be suitable for psychedelic treatment • Psychedelics, intimacy, sexuality, and relationships • The future of psychedelic medicine and psychiatry TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 02:28 Psychedelics enter the pharmaceutical mainstream 05:27 Why psychedelic research was banned 10:12 The major psychedelic compounds explained 12:46 Why modern psychiatry needs new approaches 15:34 Set, setting, and altered states 18:56 Why support and integration matter 20:23 Tommaso’s path into psychedelic research 22:41 Psychedelics, religion, and The Immortality Key 24:46 Using 5-MeO-DMT to study consciousness 26:37 What happens when the self dissolves? 27:49 Depression, neuroplasticity, and 5-MeO-DMT 30:47 Psychedelics for depression, PTSD, and addiction 32:39 Why psychedelics are not for everyone 34:02 Tommaso’s experience of ego dissolution 37:26 Presence, creativity, and intuition 39:12 Psychedelics, intimacy, and relationships 42:35 The future of psychedelic medicine 44:16 Final message: stay curious Subscribe to the Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast for evidence-informed conversations with leading scientists, physicians, researchers, and innovators shaping the future of health, longevity, and human potential.

  #259 Jamie Clements — How to Breathe Better: Stress Resilience, Altered States & Human Potential

  Jul 22, 202652 min

  What if the constant pressure to improve yourself is reinforcing the anxiety you are trying to escape? In this episode of the Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast, Claudia welcomes Jamie Clements, breathwork facilitator, speaker, educator, and founder of The Breath Space. Jamie shares how anxiety, depression, and panic attacks led him away from a high-performing career in finance and technology and toward a deeper exploration of breath, nervous system health, consciousness, and human potential. He explains how breathing influences the autonomic nervous system, why dysfunctional breathing can reinforce stress and anxiety, and how simple changes in breathing speed, depth, and rhythm can shift how we feel and perform. They also explore carbon dioxide tolerance, nasal breathing, breath holding, sleep apnea, altered states of consciousness, trauma-aware breathwork, and the risks of practicing deeper techniques without the right preparation or facilitator. This conversation also challenges the modern obsession with optimization. Jamie explains why high performers often find rest uncomfortable, how achievement can become tied to self-worth, and why slowing down may be one of the most powerful ways to improve creativity, energy, and performance. IN THIS EPISODE • How anxiety and panic attacks led Jamie to breathwork • Why the breath directly influences the nervous system • Signs that you may be breathing dysfunctionally • Why carbon dioxide is essential for oxygen delivery • How breath holding may build stress resilience • Nasal breathing, mouth breathing, and cognitive health • Box breathing, extended exhales, and the physiological sigh • How breathwork can create altered states of consciousness • Trauma, emotional release, and breathwork safety • Why high performers struggle to rest • The link between achievement and self-worth • Why you do not need fixing • How slowing down can improve productivity TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Introduction 03:44 Jamie’s experience with anxiety and panic attacks 06:15 Losing his job and discovering a different path 09:26 Why we underestimate the power of breathing 12:15 Ancient breathwork traditions 15:43 How breathing controls the nervous system 18:06 Using breath to change your internal state 19:33 CO2 tolerance and stress resilience 24:58 Signs you may be breathing incorrectly 27:39 The three levels of breathwork 31:13 Trauma release and breathwork safety 33:54 What an altered-state breathwork session feels like 38:29 Why high performers struggle to slow down 41:43 Purpose, ambition, and self-worth 43:24 Creating work-life harmony 48:57 The Breath Space 50:33 Why you do not need fixing ABOUT JAMIE CLEMENTS Jamie Clements is a breathwork facilitator, speaker, educator, and founder of The Breath Space.
