Ep. 111: What Toxins and Psychedelics Taught Me About Being Authentic with Dr. Nikki Siso

What do toxins, psychedelics, and authenticity have in common? More than you might think. Dr. Nikki Siso shares her personal and professional journey toward deeper self-awareness and healing. We explore how environmental toxins, emotional burdens, and even the roles we play in everyday life can disconnect us from who we truly are. She discusses the impact of toxic load on health, and the lessons she's learned from the psychedelic experience with 5-MeO-DMT, a potent, fast-acting psychedelic found in plants and the venom of the Sonoran Desert toad. Inhaling it causes profound ego dissolution and non-duality states within seconds. We talk about why authenticity isn't something we achieve once and for all; it's an ongoing practice of becoming more honest with ourselves. Nikki feels that she wasn't on the path to true authenticity until she had her breast implants removed. Whether you're curious about holistic health, healing through psychedelics, personal growth, or what it really means to live authentically, this conversation offers plenty of insight and food for thought. Dr. Nikki built a Total Toxic Load Assessment, what she calls TOX, to investigate the three things no one looks at together: the toxins in your food, your home, and your own thoughts. It finally connects the dots. She's giving our listeners $50 off. Use discount code BADASS at checkout so you can go from running on fumes to clear and happy in your body again."
