Jake Dickson is a writer and editor on the Beckley Retreats editorial team. He holds a B.S. in Exercise Science from UNC Wilmington, began his career as a personal trainer and coach, and has since written and edited hundreds of articles on health and science. His job here is to bring the research on psilocybin down to ground level without losing what it actually says. Every post on the Beckley Retreats blog is checked against published research and reviewed before it goes live, and the posts that make health or safety claims carry a named expert reviewer. How we make and review our posts.
