No longer comfortably numb, celebrity chef Palak Patel speaks about how her Ayahuasca experience with 1heart forever changed her life and elevated her into an unstoppable, vibrant creator. She speaks vulnerably about the insights, breakthroughs, and takeaways she’s embodied, thanks to her experiences at our transformational ayahuasca retreat organization.
In our fourth episode, our Chief Manifestation Officer, Barry Stamos, interviews Palak Patel from Journeys 7 and 11. Palak is a highly intelligent, vibrant, beautiful being and a radiant ball of light. She also happens to be a professional powerhouse!
Having moved from India to the United States at age 12, she left her corporate career to follow her passion and graduated from the French Culinary Institute. She is a well-known classically trained chef and Atlanta restaurant owner, having been a two-time food network champion as the winner of Food Network’s famed shows Chopped and Beat Bobby Flay.
Palak was also a guest judge on Food Network, a finalist on Food Network Star season 14, a TEDx speaker, and the chef at the Institute of Culinary Education. She has partnered with high-profile brands like BMW, Well+Good, Whole Foods, and Hello Fresh. Harper Collins is publishing her first book called “INVITED: Recipes for Joy and Connection.”

DISCLAIMER: In sharing stories from leaders who have used plant medicine, including ayahuasca, to elevate their lives, we are not recommending it to you or suggesting that it will have the same results. Each individual will react differently to the medicine, which can be largely shaped by the set and setting of your experience as well as your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual state prior to joining. If you’re interested in this or a similar experience, we recommend you do your own research and speak to others who have done it so you can best determine if it is a good fit for you at this time. Should you decide to do so, we strongly suggest doing so with great reverence and respect for the medicine and the powerful effects it can create in your life. We also recommend anyone working with this medicine spend time preparing themselves before their ceremony(s) and have resources lined up to support them in their integration post-ceremony(s).
Also, it is important to note that the plants and compounds mentioned in this post are still illegal in many countries, and even possession can carry severe criminal penalties. None of this post constitutes medical advice or should be construed as a recommendation to use psychedelics. There are serious legal, psychological, and physical risks. Psychedelics are not for everyone—they can exacerbate certain emotional problems, and there have been, in very rare cases, fatalities.
Our mission is to elevate the life, work, and community of heart-led leaders who together elevate global consciousness and solve planetary problems.
