Welcome back to Business Trip by PsyMed Ventures, a podcast exploring the future of mental and brain health & the startups building it! 🧠
Greg interviews Rick Perry, the former Governor of Texas and former U.S. Secretary of Energy and leading advocate for ibogaine, live at the Real Summit.
In this episode, we discuss:
How a former Texas governor moved from strict opposition to drugs to becoming a leading advocate for ibogaine after firsthand experience and veteran outcomes.
Ibogaine’s impact on PTSD, opioid addiction, and traumatic brain injury, including Stanford-linked brain imaging data showing functional and structural improvement.
How veterans are the proving ground that enabled Texas to commit $50M in public funding for ibogaine clinical trials.
Why ibogaine requires intensive medical supervision and why rigorous trials are essential for legitimacy and scale.
A vision where ibogaine reshapes addiction treatment, veteran care, and eventually criminal justice and homelessness policy.
