Today’s guest is Nick Norris.

Nick is a Navy SEAL combat veteran, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate.

During his ten years with the Teams, Nick made several combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

After suffering severe depression from his time in combat and the death of his brother, Nick sought help that did not involve antidepressants. He found help from Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS), a non-profit organization whose mission is to provide resources, research, and advocacy for U.S. military veterans seeking psychedelic-assisted therapies. Nick is now on the Board of Directors for the organization.

Nick is also the co-founder of the company Protekt with Navy veteran Tim Duba and waterman Mark Healey.

Protekt is a wellness company that offers supplements to help improve hydration, immunity, sleep, performance, and brain function. They also offer sun protection and skin care products as well as apparel.
