Could True Healing Come From Within? Dr. Jeff McNairy on Trauma, Transformation & Ayahuasca

By thehealingplacepodcast | August 14, 2026

I was completely intrigued and my curiosity piqued during this entire educational and soulful conversation with Dr. Jeff McNairy, PsyD, M.P.H., Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia. Please join us as we discuss:

Ayahuasca – what is it?
DMT – the connection molecule
safety as a key component of Rythmia
turning on the SIGMAR1 gene
dosages and individual guest needs

Bio:

Dr. Jeff McNairy

For over 30 years, Dr. Jeff McNairy watched people try to heal, and witnessed the system continue to fail them. As a clinician working with the most vulnerable populations facing addiction, acute mental health issues, and trauma, he saw the same pattern repeat: Western medicine manages symptoms, but it doesn’t touch the root. He came to understand that real healing can only come from within.

‍That conviction is what brought him to Rythmia, and has kept him here since the doors opened in 2016.

‍As Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Jeff holds a Psy.D. and M.P.H. and oversees the medical integrity of the Rythmia Way Program. He has now guided more than 23,697 alumni through their week, and his expert guidance helps support guests in getting their miracle and having their personal breakthrough.

‍When you’re here, Dr. Jeff’s medical guidance and expertise will be with you throughout the week, and so you can surrender fully, and trust that you’re in the safest possible care.
