About Our Guest Julia Mirer M.D.:
Julia left medicine to pursue a life of healing. Julia Mirer M.D. is a consultant in the emerging field of psychedelic medicine, serving as a bridge between eastern and western practices, committed to merging them to help create a new paradigm for integrative health and wellness.
She was on the road to a career in Pediatrics, but seeing the pitfalls of the current healthcare system, decided to shift gears to explore transformative medicine where she has found her calling in advocacy and education.
Julia’s passion lies in education and advocacy for the responsible use of these medicines. Dr. Mirer believes that a successful future for this field depends on the interplay between policy, research, and clinics and has therefore positioned herself to play a role in each.
Nationally, Dr. Mirer is an advisor for the Plant Medicine Coalition, lobbying the NIH for $100mil for psychedelic research. In Florida, she works in psychedelic clinical research at Segal Trials as a facilitator for USONA’s phase 2 trial using Psilocybin for Major Depression. Most recently, Dr. Mirer joined Nushama as Director of Strategy, where she hopes to combine all her experience to create the vision of a new kind of healthcare system and facilitate Nushama’s goal of humanizing medicine.
