Thank you @GenomicPress for publishing this interview as part of their Rising Star:Innovators and Ideas series. What an amazing deep dive into the personal and professional.

Look out for a viewpoint article to be published soon in Genomic Press: Psychedelics, which is an integrated perspective on Psilocybin Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa based on my professional experiences with #anorexianervosa#eatingdisorders#psychedelics and #psilocybin.
🧵 Exciting news in eating disorder research! Dr. Stephanie Knatz Peck is revolutionizing treatment with psychedelic studies 🍄🧠

Our @NatureMedicine paper covers basic safety and preliminary outcomes in a small sample, but there is much texture and detail coming from participant's stories that didn't make its way into this report, and that I am always thrilled to talk about.

I really enjoyed speaking to @psychmedpod about all topics #anorexianervosa, including my experiences providing psilocybin treatment to those in recovery. Check it out!

@D_E_McCulloch@BenjaminClasse2@WalterKaye sorry if this is a repeat #badattwitter
1/2 thanks for this, cool to see! As noted in the article, results are not as robust as in other MHI's, which is important in itself to mitigate hype. But sig.reductions in ED sx's in a subset warrant further study IMHO.
@D_E_McCulloch@BenjaminClasse2@WalterKaye 2/2 I'd also note that anxiety plays a much larger mechanistic role (and is a more predominant co-morbidity) vs depression. We did see a sig/effect on STAI, though given the small sample and high variability, best to look at these data in a case series format
@D_E_McCulloch@BenjaminClasse2@WalterKaye This is nice to see, thanks! Agreed- as noted, results are not as robust other reports with other MHI- which is an important finding in itself to mitigate hype. Again, small study with many limitations, but we believe sig. reductions in ED sx's in subset warrant further study
@JloAlaska@NatureMedicine Jenny, we are proud that our study included those with AN who were not "underweight" by traditional medical standards. Some view this as a study weakness but we know that ED's are defined by much more than weight. We hope the research continues to expand to be more inclusive.
Results of our pilot study evaluating #psilocybin for #AnorexiaNervosa now out in @NatureMedicine.

Small, open label study, but results suggest that treatment was safe and tolerable with significant ED changes in a subset after 3 mos.
