Episode 65 | From Booze to Breakthroughs: How Psilocybin Is Helping Veterans Heal with Troy Leonard of Valor Minds
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people prepare for ketamine the wrong way.
They focus on logistics, and miss the part that actually creates change.
Ketamine opens a neuroplastic window, but without direction, that window closes without taking you anywhere new.
KPP is the framework for preparing your subconscious mind so that change is inevitable.
For the first time in 2026, I'm running it live.

Why is the drug that ruins families legal, and the one that’s helping veterans heal still illegal?
This week’s conversation pulls that question wide open.
Marine Corps veteran Troy Leonard, co-founder of Valor Minds, shares how psilocybin microdosing pulled him out of the spiral of PTSD, insomnia, and alcohol, and how he’s now helping thousands of veterans rediscover peace, purpose, and their humanity.
Troy’s honesty is equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. Together, we dive into:
✨ The stigma and silence around PTSD in the military
✨ How microdosing transformed Troy’s mood, sleep, and relationships
✨ Why alcohol is celebrated while life-saving psychedelics remain criminalized
✨ What it’s really like to come home from war and try to live again
✨ The science and soul of healing the nervous system naturally
✨ Why the veteran community is leading the psychedelic-healing movement
✨ And the mission behind Valor Minds—to bring the veteran-suicide rate down to zero
