Newt talks with Dr. Nolan Williams, M.D., Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University and co-author of the Stanford Medicine study, “Magnesium-ibogaine therapy in veterans with traumatic brain injuries.” Stanford Medicine researchers have discovered that ibogaine, a plant-based psychoactive drug, combined with magnesium, can safely and effectively reduce PTSD, anxiety, and depression, while improving functioning in veterans with traumatic brain injury. Published in Nature Medicine, the study included detailed data on 30 U.S. Special Forces veterans who underwent supervised ibogaine treatments. One-month post-treatment, participants showed average reductions of 88% in PTSD symptoms, 87% in depression symptoms, and 81% in anxiety symptoms, alongside cognitive improvements. Dr. Williams discusses the potential of ibogaine for neural repair and addiction treatment, highlighting its ability to reestablish critical periods of brain plasticity and unbiased choice in addiction recovery. Despite cardiac risks, mitigated by magnesium, ibogaine offers promising results, with ongoing efforts to gain FDA approval and integrate it into veteran healthcare. The study suggests ibogaine could revolutionize treatment for PTSD, addiction, and traumatic brain injury, offering long-lasting benefits from a single dose.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Newt talks with W. Brian Hubbard, Executive Director of Americans for Ibogaine, about the groundbreaking initiative in Texas to research Ibogaine, a powerful psychedelic, for its potential in treating opioid addiction, traumatic brain injury, and depression. Governor Greg Abbott approved a $50 million dollar investment, marking one of the largest government investments in psychedelic medicine. Hubbard was instrumental in getting the Texas initiative passed and is advocating for similar programs in other states. Hubbard shares his journey from a legal career in Kentucky, witnessing the opioid epidemic's impact, to leading efforts for Ibogaine research. He highlights the drug's potential to revolutionize addiction treatment, citing its success in interrupting addiction and restoring brain function. Their conversation also touches on the political challenges faced in Kentucky and the promising developments in Texas, where a public-private partnership aims to conduct FDA trials. Their discussion underscores the potential of Ibogaine to transform healthcare by offering a restorative treatment for addiction and neurological conditions, with hopes of broader acceptance and integration into the U.S. healthcare system.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Newt talks with Gianno Caldwell, a political analyst for Fox News, about his new book, "The Day My Brother Was Murdered: My Journey Through America's Violent Crime Crisis."

Their conversation explores the broader issue of urban violence, recounting eight other murders that occurred on the same night, highlighting the human tragedy and offering insights for creating safer communities. Caldwell, a political analyst and founder of the Caldwell Institute, discusses the impact of soft-on-crime policies and the role of progressive prosecutors funded by George Soros in exacerbating crime rates. He advocates for stronger law enforcement, community cooperation with police, and the importance of family and faith in addressing the root causes of violence. The Caldwell Institute aims to support victims' families and promote public safety reforms.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
