  • Episode 117: From the Battlefield to Healing: Jay Kopelman's Journey with Psychedelics
    Dec 31 2024

    In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Whiz sits down with retired Marine Corps Lieutenant Colonel Jay Kopelman to explore his harrowing journey from the horrors of combat to the depths of trauma and PTSD. Jay shares his story of survival, including an unsuccessful suicide attempt, and his life-changing experiences with psychedelic medicine—ibogaine and Bufo (toad)—that not only saved his life but healed his soul. These treatments helped him understand his relationship with his son, conquer his struggles with alcohol, and find a renewed purpose. Now, as the Executive Director of Mission Within Foundation, Jay is dedicated to helping other veterans and first responders find the same healing and transformation. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope, resilience, and inspiration.
