- What psychedelics have the most research, particularly for mental health
- The impact of psychedelics on the gut-brain axis
- How Alex see's health practitioners, or himself safely integrate them
- Are there any concerns for their use (risks or side effects)

- Where is regulation at with psychedelics
- We were so in the moment that we forgot to discuss micro and macro dosing
- And so much more
