I saw a Bryan Hubbard post where he read off a letter from the wife of a Marine who was struggling from the loss of his teammates in Iraq. December 1st 2005 was a tragic day for our battalion that left 10 dead and 11 wounded. This event put a sadness in him that he carried for 20 years. After hearing a podcast about Ibogaine, he and his wife went down to Mexico to investigate all the hype... and received more than they had ever imagined. This is his story

His purpose in emergency medicine carried on to his civilian life as a flight nurse and that mission consumed him, fully. Maybe too fully... the years of service, importance of his role, and desire to never fail set the bar of expectation to an unattainable level. Without a routine of decompression in place, he hit a wall. That impact drove him to the realization that change had to occur and after watching a Paul Stammets documentary about psilocybin, he chose an unconventional path that led him to healing, a new way to support his community, and this podcast. This is his story.

Guest #6 was a Navy Corpsman and Air Force PJ who thrived in the SOF community and felt that loss of community in his reintegration to civilian life. Ultimately his family and commitment to them led him to seek help. He accepted an offer for the Trifecta Study that ended with a psychedelic journey that opened his mind, heart, and spirit to the pitfalls of perception that build barriers and cause division among us. This is his story.

He was instructed to go home, take the pharmaceutical drugs that might delay his decline, and told there was nothing that could be done. He decided to take things into his own hands and went down to Mexico to the Ambio clinic and see what impact an ibogaine treatment could have. One year later he returned to the VA and baffled doctors with a complete recovery, a newly discovered perspective on life, and much more... This is his story.

She had struggled with a foggy memory of being taken as a young child which manifested into a phase of substance abuse, infertility, and self destruction. Her journey not only assisted in healing that pain but unlocked an unexpected ability that would change her life forever. This is her story.

He found himself questioning his place in the world, his value, and whether or not there was any meaning to it. He began to feel like an observer or Non Player Character, going through the motions of life for somebody else's benefit. Through his network he discovered an opportunity to try something he never thought he would have access to. Somehow through the medicine he got his hands back on the controller and found his purpose in the game again. This is his story.
