Topic: Farzan Toosi

Kerry Rhodes details how director Farzan Toosi introduced him to ayahuasca as a potential treatment for football-related head trauma. Rhodes was motivated by research suggesting the brew has regenerative properties for the brain, offering hope against CTE and concussions. He also sought the medicine to address the depression and anxiety that followed his transition from the NFL to an acting career.

Director Farzan Toosi discusses his transition from a "black and white" atheist to a more spiritually-minded individual after trying ayahuasca. He was initially inspired by the transformation he saw in his wife after she visited the Rhythmia resort in Costa Rica following the death of her father. Toosi describes his first ceremony as a profound event that challenged his materialist worldview.
