In this episode of Psychedelics as Medicine on The It’s All Good Show, Dr. DREAM speaks with Roland Pankewich a bioenergetic health practitioner whose work bridges functional medicine, biochemistry, German biological medicine, and psychedelic-assisted transformation.

Roland and Dr. DREAM explore how psychedelic molecules like DMT, ayahuasca, psilocybin, LSD and ketamine can act as powerful tools for deep healing when combined with clear intention, responsible facilitation, and true spiritual integration. This is a grounded, real world conversation about how these medicines work, what can go wrong, and how to approach them with respect.

You will hear them discuss:

~ Roland’s path into bioenergetic medicine from movement and nutrition to functional medicine and psychedelic work

~ Why Roland calls psychedelics “molecules” and “tools” instead of “drugs” and how that shift in language changes everything

~ Stories from the medicine space including DMT, ayahuasca, MDMA sessions, psilocybin journeys, LSD microdosing and ketamine

~ The real work of integration and why challenging journeys can still lead to profound healing and empowerment

~ How to discern if psychedelics are truly calling you, and how to choose between clinics, shamans, retreats and festival environments

Dr. DREAM also shares his own decades long relationship with psychedelic medicines including:

~ Early “recreational” use that evolved into ritual, intention and service

~ Deep ayahuasca work in the Peruvian jungle with Don Agustín and the power of next day group integration

~ Burning Man, authenticity, and the birth of the Dr. DREAM persona

~ Weekly psychedelic “date nights” with his wife as a conscious alternative to alcohol and other substances

Roland offers guidance on:

~ The difference between using psychedelics as escape and using them as catalysts for spiritual growth

~ How ego, body consciousness and higher self all show up in the journey

~ Why some people experience long term changes in addiction patterns, relationships and life purpose after psychedelic work

~ Recognizing unsafe or misaligned facilitators, retreats and “luxury” medicine spaces

If you are curious about psychedelic therapy, DMT experiences, ayahuasca retreats, psilocybin journeys, LSD microdosing, or how to integrate powerful non ordinary states into a grounded, empowered life, this conversation is for you.
