Ep. 40 | From Bin Laden to Ibogaine: Elite Warfare and Integrated Healing | DEVGRU Operator Alex West

from Mind Body Mushroom · host Windansea Coffee

Alex West spent twenty years as a United States Navy SEAL, completed fifteen combat deployments, and served over a decade at DEVGRU — including the night they took out Bin Laden. He carried all of it home. In this episode, Alex opens up about the real cost of that life, his reckoning with PTSD and traumatic brain injuries, and the integrated healing journey that led him through EMDR, ibogaine, and plant medicine — and eventually to founding One More Wave, a San Diego nonprofit using adaptive surfing to bring veterans back from the edge. A raw, honest conversation about war, healing, and what it looks like to rebuild yourself from the inside out.
