Aneel Paulus M.D. is a globally recognized drug developer having led a cancer drug development lab at the Mayo Clinic focused on treating the rarest forms of cancers including myeloma, leukemia, and lymphomas.

Determined to help those afflicted with cancer from every possible point of attack - Aneel has devoted himself to analyzing the mysteries of human aging, the complex neuroscience that undergirds cancer, and the potential application of psychedelic-assisted therapies for cancer patients battling existential depression. 

Aneel Paulus is pioneering a new field he calls "cancer neuroscience," combining his lifelong fascination with neuroscience, his work in cancer drug development, and his personal experience with mindset and emotional resilience. His journey began with fundamental questions: 

• How does cancer work?
• Why do we have cancer?
• What systems keep it in check, and what happens when they fail? 

These inquiries, shaped by his hands-on care for cancer patients, revealed a striking insight—by the time most treatments are administered, it’s often too late.

Cancer doesn’t develop overnight; it can take years for that first rogue cell to bypass the body’s defenses, exploiting weaknesses in physiological, emotional, and mental systems.

Dr. Paulus’ work emphasizes immune therapies to strengthen the body’s defenses as a form of preventative care.

He’s uncovered how neurochemicals—feeding every cell in the body—are deeply influenced by factors like mindset, emotional and physical stress, nutrition, sleep, and relationships.

Stress, which significantly weakens the immune system, often stems from these interconnected areas, highlighting the critical role of holistic approaches in cancer prevention and care.

We all have a story we tell ourselves about who we are, what we’re capable of, and where we’re headed.

But what if I told you that your story isn’t set in stone?

That you have the power to change it and create a life that aligns with your deepest desires?

Today, I want to explore how the way we tell our stories affects our beliefs, actions, and ultimately, our reality.

Listen until the end to get my storytelling prompt you can use to rewrite your story!

Rachel Cogan, a rebel and spiritual warrior rolled into one package. She always felt like an outsider due to her aversion to societal norms. She dived into alternative cultures, sensing a deeper purpose within her. This led to a turbulent period of substance abuse in her youth.

Her journey took an unexpected turn when she became a mother and then later reconnected with plant medicine in an intentional way. 

Both these things revealed a world of love and compassion for herself she never knew she had.

Today, Rachel operates a small business in Ottawa, Ontario, where she helps others discover the healing potential of microdosing with mushrooms. 

She also leads monthly cacao and microdosing hikes, guiding seekers on their own path to self-love.

With this episode I’d like to inform, educate and walk you through my exact blueprint I use with my clients. 

And the goal is that by the end of this audio webinar you know exactly where to start if you want to microdose, even if you are doing this on your own or as part of my group program.

It’s the exact same method.

This is for you if:

• you've never microdosed before and you don't know where to get your microdosing kit
• you've never microdosed before and you have access to a microdosing lit
• you've microdosed before but you didn't get the results or you didn't feel like it made too much of an impact in your life
