123 | Psychedelics A to Z: The Intersection of Psychedelic Research, Creativity and Play w/ Olga Chernoloz

Olga Chernoloz is not your average neuroscientist and clinical pharmacologist; she has a creative, playful, and curious side to her that enhances both her personal and professional life. In this episode, we explore the intersection of psychedelic research, creativity, and the regulatory state of psychedelics in 2025. We tease her very fun book, Psychedelics A to Z, which provides an in-depth, illustrated guide through the world of psychedelics, from the science behind them to their therapeutic potential, and everything in between. Olga also discusses her efforts to bring legal psychedelic medicine to Ukraine through her nonprofit, Phoenix Ukraine. This episode is packed with valuable insights into the scientific, personal, and creative facets of psychedelic work, as well as how these substances have the potential to revolutionize mental health treatment.Explore Coaching with Lana:⁠⁠Iboga Integration & Prep Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (NEW-now enrolling)⁠⁠Psychedelically Informed Life Coaching⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (6 Month ProgramKey Topics Covered:Olga’s Journey: How she transitioned from traditional neuroscience and pharmacology to psychedelic research.Psychedelics A to Z: A look into the creative process behind Olga’s accessible book.Psychedelics in Mental Health: The current landscape of psychedelic medicine and its potential to treat mental health conditions.Creativity and Psychedelics: How psychedelics foster creative thinking, problem-solving, and neuroplasticity.Phoenix Ukraine: Efforts to bring legal psychedelic medicine to Ukraine and the nuances of on trauma healing.Ethics and Research: Navigating the ethical challenges and cultural considerations in the world of psychedelic medicine.Play as a Tool: Exploring the role of play, nature, and creativity.Psychedelic Research Challenges: The importance of consistent research and quality studies to support the therapeutic use of psychedelics.Future of Psychedelics: The exciting prospects of psychedelics in therapy, particularly in the EU.Resources Mentioned:⁠Psychedelics A to Z:⁠ An Illustrated Journey Through the Captivating World of Psychedelics [Olga’s book]⁠Phoenix Ukraine⁠ Olga's nonprofit initiative working to bring legal psychedelic medicine to Ukraine.Stay Connected to Modern Psychedelics:Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@modernpsychedelics⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Modern Psychedelics YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.modernpsychedelics.net⁠⁠⁠⁠Substack: ⁠The Healthy Ego⁠⁠⁠Free Resources:⁠FREE Iboga Preparation Guide⁠⁠⁠FREE Set Better Goals⁠⁠⁠FREE Integration Journal⁠⁠FREE Intention Setting Journal⁠⁠⁠FREE Psychedelic Ceremony Checklist⁠⁠⁠FREE Playlists for Psychedelic Journeys + Integration⁠⁠DISCLAIMER: Modern Psychedelics does not endorse or support the illegal consumption of any substances.
