Ever Forward Radio with Chase Chewning

Matthew Paetz returns on Ever Forward Radio to share how he has been navigating the seemingly endless period of uncertainty brought about by the pandemic—particularly around how he has been striving to shift from being what he calls an "unconscious consumer" to being a "conscious creator". "I'm creating a life I've never had by doing things I've never done," says Matthew, adding that his focus has been on building on himself over his achievements. One of the major ways he has been doing this over the past 18 months is by immersing himself in the world of psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy as a modality for addressing trauma. Matthew defines these guided sessions as "medicines for the soul"—contrasting it with alcohol which he calls "medicine for the ego". He then breaks down the development of our ego and how these sessions allow you to detach from that ego and see your life from a completely different perspective. "These medicines, in a guided session, would be the greatest gift I could give the entire world," says Matthew. He believes that, should the public embrace this gift, Western medicine as it pertains to mental health would be "eradicated" in a matter of months.

Alongside the world's top experts in the aging field, NOVOS has developed a line of supplements that promote longevity.
