Psychedelic States Without Drugs? Neuroscientist Explains High-Ventilation Breathwork | RC95
About this episode
The episode explores how high-ventilation breathwork can induce altered states of consciousness without drugs, featuring neuroscientist Amy Kartar.
Today, we're exploring the science of breath — ancient practices meeting modern neuroscience. My guest is Amy Kartar, a neuroscientist and breathwork researcher who's uncovering how high-ventilation breathwork, paired with music, can induce profound altered states of consciousness — the kind once only associated with psychedelics, but completely drug-free. We'll talk about how this practice changes the brain, why it could help people process emotional pain, and how centuries-old spiritual traditions are finally being validated by modern science. Get ready to discover the mind's incredible potential — one breath at a time. Follow Chrissy Newton: Winner of the Canadian Podcast Awards for Best Science Series.
