May 1101:54:32Tap to summarizeMy friend Eric Jansen Government Affairs Coordinator for Balanced Veterans Network. Eric took the time to walk me through current legislation focused on removing barriers for veterans to access Innovative Therapies. That's the term being used now but we know what we're talking about.. Psychedelics. Eric isn't just talking about it, he's in Washington doing the work. Lobbying. Networking. Advocating at a high level. Pushing to cut through the red tape that's been holding veterans back from the full spectrum of care they've earned. We shouldn't need permission to heal. This isn't theory. It's backed by top tier research and real data. The results speak for themselves. Innovative Therapies are showing real impact for veterans dealing with PTSD, TBI, depression, Parkinson's, anxiety, and more. If you're not paying attention to this space yet, you should be.
