From Combat to Clarity: The Healing Journey of Mark Keller This week's Team Never Quit episode features Lieutenant Commander Mark Keller, a retired U.S. Navy Naval Flight Officer who served his country with distinction in combat zones around the world—including Kosovo, Iraq, and post-9/11 Afghanistan. But after two decades of intense operational service, Mark faced a more insidious enemy at home: the devastating mental, emotional, and physical toll of war. In this powerful conversation, Mark opens up about his early years as a thrill-seeker, his journey from the Air Force to earning his commission into the Navy, and the harrowing missions that left scars no one could see. He recounts the mission that haunted him most—the unintended loss of innocent life—and how that moment triggered a years-long battle with PTSD, addiction, broken relationships, and near-death experiences. But Mark's story doesn't end in darkness. He takes us inside his transformational healing journey, made possible by plant-based neurogenesis therapies including Ibogaine and 5-MEO-DMT. Supported by the nonprofit Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS) and inspired by fellow veterans like Marcus Luttrell and Marcus Capone, Mark discovered not only deep healing—but a new purpose. Now an advocate for alternative PTSD treatments and featured in the upcoming documentary No Fallen Heroes, Mark shares how love, neuroplasticity, and hard-fought self-discovery helped him reclaim his life. If you or someone you love is a veteran struggling with PTSD, you're not alone. Reach out, share this episode, and explore the healing resources shared today.

(18:46) • If there's any flat earthers listening to this… the earth is round. (19:28) • As I look over on my left, I start seeing bright orange, all over the place. And I switched around on my seat, and the whole back of the plane's on fire. Holy shit! (25:30) • A lot of guys got in the habit of making sure they had a mag in there. They wanted to be sure to take themselves out, before the Taliban got ‘em. (36:22) • [Marcus: a buddy of mine] came over the wood line and dropped down over our crawfish boil, you could see him come down; rolled over to do a panel check; and hung us the finger.

The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life. In episode 194 of the Transition Drill Podcast, retired Navy SEAL Diego Ugalde shares his powerful story of failure, redemption, and inner healing. Raised in a turbulent home, Diego joined the Navy after high school with dreams of becoming a SEAL. His first attempt at BUD/S ended in failure due to severe injuries and lack of preparation—an experience that haunted him for eight years. After leaving the Navy, he became a paramedic, but recurring dreams of that failure led him back. At 29, Diego re-enlisted, completed BUD/S with Class 246, and went on to serve at SEAL Team Two. He retired after 20 years, having risen to the rank of E-8. But even after success, he felt unfulfilled. Seeking healing, Diego turned to psychedelic therapy, where Ibogaine helped him confront deep-rooted trauma. That experience reshaped his purpose. Now, he's a psychedelic integration coach, speaker, Diego also leads The Trident Approach, a leadership and cultural development consultancy, and is the co-founder of Warrior Side, a nonprofit supporting military veterans and first responders in healing from service-related trauma. Diego's story is a testament that military transition is more than finding a new job—it's about rediscovering who you are beneath the uniform.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: WEBSITE: LinkedIn: SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:SPONSORS:Brothers & Arms USAGet 20% off your purchaseLink: https://brothersandarms.comPromo Code: Transition20Trident CoffeeGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://tridentcoffee.comPromo Code: TDP15GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Human Performance TRTGet 30% off your purchaseWeb: https://hptrt.com/Promo Code: TDP

If you're living with PTSD, OCD, addiction, or just feel stuck in patterns that traditional therapy hasn't touched, this episode is for you.More info, ways to connect & more - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/zahra-adlooOn this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, I sat down with Zahra Adloo to talk about PTSD, Ibogaine therapy and mental health treatment that actually makes a difference. Zahra shared her journey from a career in management information systems to finding her true calling in mental health counseling. Along the way, a life-changing ayahuasca experience opened her eyes to the power of psychedelics, eventually leading her to specialize in trauma, addiction and psychedelic integration therapy.We dug into the reality that PTSD and OCD aren't always what people think. PTSD isn't just for veterans – it can affect anyone who's experienced trauma, big or small. OCD isn't about being neat and organized either; it's about intrusive, disruptive thoughts that people feel forced to soothe through compulsions. Zahra explained how misunderstood these conditions are and how important it is to approach them without judgment.The heart of the conversation was all about Ibogaine therapy. Zahra broke it down simply: Ibogaine is a psychedelic substance derived from the iboga plant, and it works by helping people reach the root causes of their trauma or addiction. It's not a quick fix, but it's a powerful catalyst that kickstarts healing and rewires the brain to support healthier patterns. Zahra made it clear, though — the real magic happens when Ibogaine is combined with strong integration work afterward. It's about creating sustainable change, not just having a powerful experience.We also talked about the risks. Ibogaine therapy isn't for everyone, especially if you have heart issues, liver problems, or a history of psychosis. And because it's illegal in the U.S., people have to seek treatment in places like Mexico, Canada and Portugal, where it's legal. Zahra stressed the importance of vetting clinics and facilitators carefully, because the psychedelic world has its fair share of bad actors.Zahra also shared her personal experiences with Ibogaine and other psychedelics, how she uses tools like trauma-informed yoga and Reiki to support healing, and how reconnecting with the body is just as important as working with the mind. She's a strong advocate for compassion, both for yourself and others, especially when facing mental health struggles.One of the most powerful messages Zahra left us with was the reminder that asking for help isn't weakness — it's strength. Healing starts when we stop seeing mental health care as something shameful and start recognizing it as something courageous.Overall, this conversation was full of hope, honesty, and solid advice for anyone interested in alternative paths to healing trauma and breaking free from old patterns. Whether you're just curious about Ibogaine or seriously considering it as a therapy option, Zahra's insights were eye-opening and empowering.

Has the cure for addiction, mental health afflictions, and spiritual disconnection been right in front of us? These proponents of Ibogaine including NFL star Robert Gallery and the inspiring activist Bryan Hubbard would say yes – this powerful psychedelic from Africa is a miracle. I've experienced this medicine first hand, sharing my story on the Joe Rogan Experience 15 years ago. But it's not just the medicine that facilitates the cure, it is the profound and life altering connection to the love of God that may be responsible for so much of the unbelievable results. There has been incredible progress made in the Texas legislature that is paving the way for potential medical legalization to treat our citizens most in need, namely first responders and veterans. This is one of the most inspiring and powerful podcasts I have ever recorded, and it very well may change your life forever.

This conversation with Talia Eisenberg and Tom Feegel from Beond delves into the evolving landscape of Ibogaine as a treatment for addiction and mental health issues. We discuss the increasing mainstream acceptance of Ibogaine, its cultural and spiritual significance, and the unique experiences it offers compared to other psychedelics. And we emphasize the importance of understanding both the scientific and traditional contexts of Ibogaine, as well as the personal journeys individuals undergo during treatment. We discuss the importance of community support in the healing process, the challenges of navigating relationships post-recovery, and the need for a deeper understanding of addiction as a response to underlying pain. Finally, we share the vision for the future of Beyond, emphasizing the need for expanded access to effective healing technologies and the importance of research and policy change. And we discuss a topic on the rise: addiction. Here are the most important takeaways:Ibogaine's Growing Acceptance – It is becoming more mainstream with significant potential for addiction and PTSD treatment.Deep Healing & Reset – Ibogaine offers a unique, long-lasting journey (up to 48 hours) that resets brain chemistry and supports emotional healing.Cultural & Spiritual Significance – Understanding its roots and integrating both clinical and spiritual aspects is essential.Commitment to Change – True healing requires a willingness to transform, reframe identity, and navigate shifts in relationships.Community & Support – Peer support and shared experiences enhance the healing journey and prevent isolation.Addiction & Trauma Connection – Addiction often stems from emotional pain, trauma, or spiritual disconnection.Expanding Access – Healing technologies should be democratized, integrated into healthcare, and backed by research and data sharing.Find BEOND here.WEBSITE; https://beondibogaine.com/INSTAGRAM: @beond.us Hosted on Acast.

This isn't trueAdrenal insufficiency syndrome is real, but it's not related to exercise or coffee. This is a medical condition that's different from the normal stress-response system of your body3 categories of brain areas communicate with the adrenals to release adrenaline:* Cognitive areas: Involved in thinking and decision-making* Affective areas: Linked to emotions and how you perceive and react to the environment* Motor areas: Control your body movement. These areas in the cerebral cortex send signals to the spinal cord, which then triggers the release of acetylcholine to activate the adrenal medulla The Technological Republic – Palantir CEO Alex Karp & Stanley Druckenmiller In Conversation Talented people want to be around other talented people: If you are starting a team that already consists of immensely talented people, then other A-players will want to join; this dynamic positively compounds with time and becomes reflexiveThe type of person you want to hire: A truth-seeking, justice-seeking, fairness fanatic, who is justifiably snobby about their intellect (but not because of where they went to school) and who pushes responsibility into their area of expertise and takes over – and who, at the margin, may be unusual and difficultThe moral and ethical conundrums of modern warfare: The West is at technological parity with its adversaries, but not morally; our adversaries are far more willing to send their young men and women to die on the battlefield than we areOn AI Accelerationism – The US military does not have a choice regarding AI accelerationism; its adversaries will not slow down AI progress, and therefore, the game theory is such that the US cannot slow down eitherLaw School Sucks: “I thought of it as moral sophistry in the service of prestige.”Go Woke, Go Broke: “The Valley has realized that you just cannot placate the anti-intellectual left. It will destroy your business.” – Alex Karp* Basic things that most sane believe in are fairness, meritocracy, inputs being even across society, and that the outputs will not be evenly distributed* “Our society is crying for things that work. The instruments of measurement have been corroded everywhere.” – Alex KarpThe Left Broke Everything: People are sick of their border not being a border, their United Nations not being united, their schools not functioning as schools, and their government only taking inflows but not creating productive outflowsAn Essentialism Future: Every institution must clearly define its purpose, be transparent in what it spends to reach its objectives, and measure its output – which should be greater than its input Volodymyr Zelenskyy: Ukraine, War, Peace, Putin, Trump, NATO, and Freedom | Lex Fridman Podcast (#456) Peace Through Strength: " “I think that we share a position on peace through strength. That is very important. It means that if you are strong, you can speak.” - ZelenskyyTrump can stop this war: “I now see that when I talk about something with Donald Trump, whether we meet in person or we just have a call, all the European leaders always ask, “How was it?” This shows the influence of Donald Trump, and this has never happened before with an American president.” – ZelenskyyNo US, No NATO: If the U.S. left NATO, it would essentially fall apart. The U.S. is critical to NATO's strength and global security. The role America played in World War II shows how much its support matters in conflicts like thisForgiveness? “Russia will have to apologize. This will happen because they are guilty.”– ZelenskyyUkraine's future is with Europe, not Russia: “I think the most important thing is to remain open and not change our direction because culturally aligning with Russia, it's one idea, while aligning with Europe is another. Our people have chosen Europe. It's their choice, it's our choice, the choice of our nation, and I think it's very important.” – Zelenskyy Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky | Philosophize This! with Stephen West (#219) Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky: A tormented man wrestles with guilt and morality after a desperate act, unraveling a gripping exploration of justice, redemption, and the human soul.“Rational utopianism” – A belief that suggests through utilitarian rational calculations, we can arrive at moral truth and create a utopian socialist system of organizing people that can be perfected if this moral calculus improves over time2 Problems with rational utopianism and Russian nihilism:* (1) Consider how quickly Raskolnikov's perfectly crafted plan resulted in an innocent person getting an axe to the head; and* (2) The rational egoism that often accompanies Russian nihilism magically places Raskolnikov at the center of the decision-maker processRaskolnikov is not an example of Nietzsche's Ubermensch: Instead, he is an example of a very particular kind of nihilism that was gaining popularity in Russia at the time Dostoevsky wrote the bookYou're Not That Special: Dostoevsky was very skeptical of any individual who thought they were special compared to the people around themThe Stories We Tell Ourselves: “It is uniquely possible in this modern world to exist in a way where your whole life never becomes about facing the discomfort of looking at yourself honestly, but about endlessly rationalizing your behavior and then coming up with a story that sounds pretty good about it.” – Stephen WestSave What You Can: The choices that we have to make are not always optimal and they are often dictated by circumstances that are outside of our control; but no matter the circumstances in this sometimes horrible world, there is always at least some personal salvation that is possible in consent and affirmation of our place in a relational networkAccountability: Taking accountability for what you are wrong about is one of the only ways to grow as a person and is one of the most powerful things that you can do in your life Thank you for subscribing.

Fighter Pilot Survival: Kegan Gill's Battle Beyond the Battlefield In this extraordinary episode, Marcus and Melanie meet with retired U.S. Navy Fighter Pilot Kegan Gill, whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Kegan survived a catastrophic ejection from his aircraft during a training mission over the Atlantic Ocean, where he ejected directly into the sound barrier. The injuries he sustained in that moment were severe enough to kill most people – his limbs torn apart and a traumatic brain injury among them. But Kegan's ordeal was only beginning. Plunged into the icy waters of the Atlantic with his parachute still attached, his wetsuit torn, and his arms unable to move, Kegan was forced to endure a two-hour battle with hypothermia as rescue teams raced to find him. Miraculously, his hypothermic state prevented fatal blood loss. Following this harrowing experience, Kegan faced months of grueling recovery, eventually achieving a perfect Physical Fitness Test score and returning to flight duty. However, Kegan's journey didn't end with physical recovery. He began experiencing severe psychotic episodes due to his brain injury, leading to a stint in a VA Mental Health Facility. Pharmaceutical treatments only worsened his symptoms, and he endured dehumanizing treatment from caregivers who misunderstood his unique needs. Now, Kegan is finding renewed hope through alternative treatments for brain health. Through the Warrior Angels Foundation, he has discovered the power of nutraceutical and hormonal interventions, offering a glimmer of healing. Beyond his personal health battles, Kegan is a dedicated father and husband, working tirelessly to support his young family. Join us as Kegan opens up about his incredible journey of survival, resilience, and healing. His story is as inspiring as it is shocking – a testament to human strength and the will to overcome even the darkest of circumstances. Tune in to hear a story of grit, determination, and the relentless pursuit of healing against all odds. In This Episode You Will Hear: • When I was about 10 years old, my family had a friend that had a Cessna, and he took me up on this lawnmower with wings, and we went buzzing around, and it felt like a freakin' rocket ship. I absolutely loved being above the earth, and I felt so free. (6:26) • In May of 2012, I graduated as a winged aviator, and I got those wings pinned on my chest. (23:30) • [Marcus] It's an absolute transition into a different human being the minute those wings touch your chest. (23:52) • [In flight school] you showed up there, and you had your wings, and you thought you made it. They made it very clear you have not made anything yet. (26:30) • It just so happened on this day there was a 16 foot, 3,500 pound Great White Shark named Mary Lee directly under my airspace, and my buddy pointed out, “ Hey man, Today would be a terrible day to eject,” and an hour after having that conversation, I found myself out on what turned into a pretty freaking wild experience. (36:13) • [Melanie] Q: Is it common to eject?” [Keegan] A: It happens more than you hear about in the news. We lose a few naval fighter jets every year to mishaps. (37:06) • When you show up at flight school, they say “Look to your left and look to your right. One of you is gonna have a serious mishap or be dead choosing this job. Are you sure you wanna be here?” (37:39) • You think you're invincible, and you don't really think anything of it. (37:54) • Keegan tells the detailed story of that fateful day. (Starting at 41:16) • When I punched out, I got the initial blast from the ejection seat, and then immediately impacted the sound barrier with my body. At that speed, the human body is not aerodynamic. (50:53) • The aircraft impacted the water so fast, it just vaporized. (52:45) • They ended up wheeling me in, and treated me for severe hyperthermia. They took my core body temperature. I was at 87 degrees. [Marcus] “That should've killed you.” (60:09) • One of the more senior guys takes me into his office and he goes: “Congratulations, Lieutenant Gill. If you can figure out how to get your body working again, we'll get you back in a Super Hornet. (68:09) • My brain was just not working the way it was supposed to from TBI (Traumatic Brain Injury). (74:59) • I had a deep sense of betrayal from all that thought I had served. To see the treatment, it seemed like everything I was fighting for was a joke. (89:21) • I've had a number of psychedelic-assisted therapies that have been really helpful. (95:22) • Ibogaine has been studied pretty thoroughly at this point. It's showing that it triggers neuro-regeneration. (101:48

In this episode, Joe interviews Thomas Feegel: co-founder of Beond Ibogaine, an ibogaine treatment and research facility in Cancún, Mexico. When Feegel first heard of ibogaine 16 years ago, he found that people were having great success, but nobody could recommend where to go for treatment. So he worked to create what was needed: a combination of a hospital, mental health treatment facility, retreat center, and resort, with the proper infrastructure in place, employees with ICU experience, exhaustive HIPAA-compliant admission criteria, regular data collection, and a major focus on safety. Addressing the recent Rolling Stone article about the tragic death of a patient at Beond in 2022 (interestingly, 2 days after his initial dose), he discusses what he feels was inaccurate, largely related to what could be perceived as a suggestion that there wasn't enough screening or that corners were cut. With no official reason given for the patient's death, it brings into question just how safe one can be, especially with people whose bodies and hearts have been through so much. How much hidden harm is created by the stress of PTSD and addiction? He discusses: The complexity of journalism and drawing conclusions from limited information The limitations of conventional addiction treatments and the sad numbers around how many people stick with rehab The importance of collecting as much data as possible about each patient, at regular intervals, prior to, during, and after the experience The need for a regulating group to create standards around admission and administration procedures for ibogaine and more! We're releasing this episode on Veterans Day because Beond's program was co-developed by veterans, military medical personnel, and active-duty law enforcement officers who have seen how much ibogaine can help. If you know a vet who is struggling, be sure to let them know what's possible with psychedelic therapy. For links, head to the show notes page.
