Welcome to the seventh episode of the The Flying Sage Podcast! In this episode we will be speaking with Trina Nguyen.
Dr. Trina Nguyen, also known as The Dharmacist, is expanding access to earth medicine by training a generation of guides.
With nearly two decades of experience in pharmacy, hospital administration, and medicinal research, Dr. Trina brings a wealth of pharmaceutical knowledge into the spirit plant medicine world. Previously a co-author on a Cochran Review, she leveraged her background in systematic review and meta-analysis to develop a contraindications and interactions guide for pharmaceuticals and earth medicines, which appears in the appendix of the Manual for Psychedelic Guides by Mark Haden.
As a founder of Toad.School, she created a decentralized training for aspiring guides, which establishes standards of practice to ensure set, setting, and safety in earth medicine ceremonies.
With all that she has accomplished and learned, she will still tell you that her most important and cherished title is Mother.
In this episode, we discuss all things 5-MEO including Toadschool, dosing, community systems, clinical trials with 5-meo, microdosing 5-meo, white out experiences, combining SSRIs with psychedelics and much more!
