People can't let go because it hasn't been taken. That's what I teach, this incredible phenomenon of surrendering. You can't get to the next wave if you don't attack the bottom.
Imagine going from the high-stakes world of a US Navy SEAL to becoming a champion for psychedelic medicine. That's the journey of Tommy Aceto, who shares his incredible story in this episode of 'Root Medicine'. After 16 years of intense service in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, and the Pacific Islands, Tommy faced the daunting challenges of PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and alcoholism.
But his life took a dramatic turn when he discovered ibogaine, a powerful substance derived from the West African shrub iboga. Tommy's experiences with ibogaine didn't just help him overcome his personal battles; they ignited a passion for helping others. As a life coach, retreat coordinator, and veteran mental health chief officer at the Give to Give Foundation, he now dedicates his life to spreading awareness about the healing potential of psychedelic medicine.
This episode delves into Tommy's transformation, offering listeners a raw and inspiring look at how surrendering to the flow state of life can lead to profound healing. The conversation also touches on the broader mental health treatment options available to veterans, the value of movement and physical challenges in mental health, and the importance of questioning limiting belief systems.
Tommy's story is not just about personal recovery; it's about creating a supportive community and advocating for alternative therapies that can make a real difference. Whether you're struggling with your own demons or simply curious about the cutting-edge world of psychedelic medicine, Tommy's journey offers valuable insights and hope.
