Born into generational trauma, he watched his father self-medicate with alcohol and die young. Keegan himself rose to early success, but one decision haunted him and sent him spiraling. After cheating on his girlfriend and hiding it for a year, he was overcome with shame and guilt. He began to drink to numb the pain, ultimately ending up on the edge of a building, contemplating ending it all.✨ “Don’t ask ‘why the addiction,’ ask ‘why the pain.’” — Gabor Maté This quote beautifully frames our conversation. Addiction is not a moral failing; it’s a coping mechanism. Keegan’s story illustrates that truth vividly.Despite surviving that harrowing moment, Keegan continued down a destructive path until his body gave out and landed him in the hospital. That moment was his wake-up call. He entered rehab, learned tools like breathwork and mindfulness, and began the long journey of healing.But sobriety isn’t a straight line. When life got stressful again, Keegan felt the familiar pull of addiction. That’s when he was introduced to microdosing psilocybin mushrooms—and everything changed.In 2020, he launched a study involving 40 people struggling with addiction. The results? Life-changing. People found healing not just from substances, but from the root causes of their pain.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:How trauma lies at the root of many addictionsHealing is all about reverse engineering how you got thereWhy guilt and shame can be just as deadly as any substanceThe powerful role mushrooms can play in trauma recoveryHow microdosing helps rewire the brain and release emotional painThe difference between managing addiction and healing from it🎁 Free Gift: Keegan is offering a free 62-page Microdosing Guide and a complimentary 1-on-1 session with a facilitator.
