Carlos Tanner of the Ayahuasca Foundation on Ayahuasca Retreats

From the Mind Body Health & Politics podcast, comes an interesting podcast interview of Carlos Tanner of the Ayahuasca Foundation – a really interesting and moving story about how he first encountered Ayahuasca and his experiences with it.

Carlos has been studying the science of ayahuasca and plant medicine in the Amazon Rainforest since 2003. He currently works as the program director for the Ayahuasca Foundation, a non-profit organization he began in 2009 based out of Iquitos, Peru.

He organizes healing retreats and educational courses with authentic indigenous healers, called curanderos, to help people in need of healing anything from depression to cancer or who are interested in learning the indigenous healing traditions of the Amazon Rainforest.
In 2017 Carlos opened the Riosbo Ayahuasca Research Center. The research there was recently published in the journal Frontiers in Psychiatry demonstrating that attending an ayahuasca retreat can produce epigenetic changes and significantly reduce depression and anxiety.

Research continues at the center and will now include studying chronic pain, PTSD, and changes to the gut biome.
