217. DJ Shipley: On Psychedelics, Discipline, PTSD & Rebuilding the Mind After War
The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Training, Planning, and Real Combat Decisions
Gary asks about combat confidence; DJ details meticulous planning, adaptability, and how training reduces shock in missions.
Can a 24-hour medicine experience break through trauma that decades of therapy couldn’t touch? Navy SEAL Veteran DJ Shipley opens up about his transformative Ibogaine journey in Mexico that saved his marriage, eliminated suicidal ideation, and revealed the unexpected source of his PTSD. His honesty about his Navy SEAL experience and the cost of elite performance offers hope for anyone struggling with mental health challenges that seem insurmountable.
