Joined by Steve Xenakis and Jonathan Lubecky, both experts in their fields, Juliana emphasizes the effectiveness of MDMA-assisted therapy in treating PTSD, shedding light on the transformative impact it has had.

Juliana and Steve convey the positive shift in political attitudes towards psychedelic substances, particularly in the context of Veterans' mental health. They stress the urgency of exploring and adopting best practices, driven by an ethical obligation to save lives. Juliana underlines the alarming Veteran suicide rate & highlights the broader potential of MDMA assisted therapy to help not only Veterans but also women, who have the highest rates of PTSD in the U.S. Through their collective efforts, Veterans are carving a path that extends beyond their community, with Juliana proudly asserting that their advocacy isn't tokenizing but rather leveraging their unique position to address the polarizing topic of psychedelics and initiate crucial conversations.
