How psychedelics saved a Navy SEAL, and inspired new technology for mental health

We take a deep dive into a Navy SEAL’s Journey with psychedelics and how it inspired him to create a wellness software program that is having incredible success. After years of covert special operations missions and deadly combat, former SEAL Jonathan Wilson found himself with a great job at Goldman Sachs. On paper everything was great. But like many combat veterans understand, life would soon get out of control. Wilson describes his post-military pain in vivid detail, and how taking the psychedelic plant Ibogaine changed his life. After his life altering trip to Mexico, he teamed up with researchers from Oxford University and developed a new web-based, wearable technology solution called INVI Mindhealth. We talked about how exactly INVI Mindhealth works. And we explore how it is changing the lives of many of his fellow veterans.
