Teach Me or Heal Me
Welcome to Teach Me or Heal Me, a podcast about the moments that break us, the medicine that finds us, and the journeys that reshape us.
Here, you'll hear anonymous voices, mostly veterans but not exclusively, sharing their real stories of pain, resilience, and transformation.
These are people who found their way to psychedelics not out of curiosity, but out of necessity. Trauma, grief, disconnection, and the search for something that could make it bearable or simply meaningful, again.
They speak candidly about what led them to these substances, what happened during those deeply personal journeys, and what life has looked like after.
We don't offer advice. We offer space. These stories aren't told to convince, they're told to connect. Whether you're here to understand, feel seen, or simply to listen... welcome.

Guest #5 is an Army veteran who experienced numerous TBI's and after struggling with cognitive issues he received a devastating prognosis of early onset dementia at the age of 40. 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.
