A Navy SEAL's Healing Journey: Ibogaine's Impact on Veterans

Episode Overview

  • Amber Capone's journey with Ibogaine and VETS advocacy
  • Challenges veterans face in accessing mental health treatment
  • The transformative impact of Ibogaine on Marcus Capone's life
  • Community support and advocacy for alternative healing methods
  • Bipartisan efforts in advancing psychedelic research for veterans
I think for our community and for Marcus as an individual, he was much more accustomed to attaining something, checking it off the box, like goal attained, what's next? This is a completely different set of circumstances where there really is no finish line here. There's like a constant state of improvement happening and there are small wins along the way.
Ever wondered how a potent psychedelic could change the life of a Navy SEAL? In this episode of 'Root Medicine', host Amanda Siebert sits down with Amber Capone, the CEO and co-founder of Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions (VETS). Amber shares the incredible transformation her husband, Marcus Capone, experienced with the help of ibogaine. Marcus, a veteran Navy SEAL with six combat tours, faced immense challenges after retiring from active duty.
Struggles with traumatic brain injury (TBI), PTSD, depression, and substance use took a toll on both him and his family. Amber opens up about the impact on her role as a wife and mother, shedding light on the unique difficulties veterans face when transitioning back to civilian life. This episode dives into the work of VETS, a non-profit organization founded by Marcus and Amber. Their mission? To end the veteran suicide epidemic by providing resources, research, and advocacy for U.S.
military veterans seeking psychedelic-assisted therapy. Amber's candid reflections reveal the profound impact of ibogaine on Marcus' life and their family dynamics. Through their story, listeners gain insight into the stigma surrounding mental health in the military community and the importance of support systems in recovery. If you're curious about alternative healing methods and the power of psychedelics in treating trauma and addiction, this episode offers a compelling look at one family's journey towards hope and healing.
