What happens when the person trained to save everyone else needs saving?

This week, we sit down with Mark, a retired Glendale Firefighter Paramedic who spent his career at the front lines of other people's worst days. Mark opens up with raw honesty about his personal battle with PTSD and the heavy toll of a life in emergency services.

But this isn't just a story about the struggle—it’s a deep dive into the unconventional paths to healing. Mark shares his transformative experiences with:

• Ayahuasca: The profound journey of plant medicine and spiritual reconnection.
• Ketamine Therapy: How clinical psychedelic treatments are shifting the landscape of mental health for first responders.
• Early Intervention: Why "toughing it out" is a relic of the past and how the new generation can build resilience from day one.

Mark is now dedicated to guiding the next wave of first responders, proving that getting help isn't a sign of weakness—it’s a tactical advantage for a long, healthy career.
