Wellness without Hype with Dr Anthony Townsend

Loading player...
A massive global conversation is surrounding psychedelic-assisted therapies. Substances once strictly associated with counterculture movements are now being studied by institutions like Johns Hopkins and Imperial College London as potential breakthroughs for depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
But what is the actual science behind the trends? What does this mean for us here at home?

In this episode of Wellness Without Hype, we cut through the noise to explore the reality of these innovative mental health treatments.

Joining us on Culture Capital is Dr. Anthony Townsend. Anthony is a highly respected Johannesburg-based clinical psychologist and the co-founder of the Equilibrium Mental Health Center. He has spent over fifteen years specializing in complex trauma and treatment-resistant depression. Crucially, he is one of the pioneering clinicians in South Africa certified in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, working legally and clinically with these innovative modalities to help patients rebuild their lives.

Tune in to discover the rigorous science, the clinical boundaries, and the true therapeutic potential of this mental health frontier
