These substances have touched people from all walks of life, and we seek to convey that in the diversity of you all, our guests: From doctors to students; skeptics to shaman; and athletes to high-performance businesspeople.
It goes to show that while our differences are what give life its richness and texture, our similarities are what make us human...a fact that is ultimately unveiled through plant medicine and the psychospiritual portal it opens within us.

The Science of Joy: How Psychedelics and Breathwork Can Change Your Life
Welcome to Webdelics, the podcast where we cut through the myths and explore the transformative potential of plant medicines and psychedelics. In this episode, hosts Scott Mason and Kaia Roman dive deep into the misunderstood concept of joy—what it really means, where it comes from in our brains, and why it matters for a fulfilling life. Drawing from Kaia's personal journey through mental health struggles and her expertise in neuroscience and mindfulness, they explore the differences between happiness and joy, reveal simple biohacks to tap into joyful states, and examine how psychedelics might serve as a powerful tool for breaking through trauma and negative thought patterns.
If you've ever wondered how to retrain your brain for more lasting contentment—or questioned the risks and rewards of psychedelic therapies—this conversation is for you. You'll hear about the latest scientific research on psychedelics, real-world stories of healing, the importance of set and setting, and cutting-edge innovations like ketamine creams for mental health. Whether you're looking for actionable tips, inspiration to find hope, or curiosity about the psychedelic renaissance, this episode has something for everyone on the path to joy.
