As a member of the Royal College of Psychiatry with extensive experience spanning over 15 years, I've worked with diverse populations, understanding the complexities of modern Psychiatry. My background encompasses General Adult Psychiatry, Substance Misuse, and patients with multiple diagnoses. I'm deeply invested in exploring novel treatments like medical cannabis, nutritional psychiatry, and psychedelics for treatment-resistant depression and chronic substance misuse. Embracing holistic approaches, I empower patients with a blend of conventional and unconventional treatments to foster better mental health outcomes.

Dr. Guillermo Moreno Sanz, PhD.

Scientific Advisor

I am a chemist and a biochemist with a PhD in Neurosciences. I have always been interested in the psychopharmacology of cannabis. My doctoral research at the University of California, Irvine, led to the discovery of a novel mechanism by which endocannabinoids control pain. I have worked as a consultant on cannabis research for public institutions, such as the US National Academies of Sciences, and I have provided R&D solutions for leading companies in the cannabis industry. I currently work as the scientific director of Khiron Europe and Zerenia Clinics, with the goal of broadening access to medicinal cannabis for patients with unmet medical needs.
