Sober Podcast

Tune into the Sober Podcast to hear Matthew Boyd share his struggles with remaining sober for medical reasons and staying sober for the quality of life he has today. Matthew was diagnosed with Epilepsy at a young age which led to being on medication. As most of know, medication and alcohol do not mix!  Nonetheless, Matthew still experimented with drinking, and eventually ended up having a seizure due to drinking.  Matthew knew he had to embrace remaining sober, which in turn motivated his mother, Kim Bellas to find her own sober path and start Sober is the New Cool. Matthew shares how he manages his condition with daily meditation practices and keeping physical health a priority with exercise.

Our guest soberlebrity, Tom Feegel joins us on the Sober Podcast with our host, Jamie Brickhouse. Tom along with Talia Eisenberg co-founded Beond; which is a detox and treatment center nestled in Cancun, Mexico that incorporates the use of Ibogaine. Ibogaine is a plant produced from West African shrub, Tabernanthe Iboga. Ingesting a large enough dose induces a temporary psychedelic experience that can last several hours, normally with no significant side effects. It is used in the west to interrupt chemical dependencies such as opiate addiction, cocaine addiction, alcoholism, PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

Sober since 2007, Tom saw that many of the addiction treatment facilities created a revolving door effect and did now offer long-lasting solutions. He wanted to make a difference in the way we fight against addiction with Ibogaine – the highly purified pharmaceutical version of this root, is offered in various clinics around the world specifically for alcohol and opiate addiction, but other issues as well. Beond offers licensed credentialed physicians with decades of experience working with Ibogaine in a safe, clinical setting. 

Get a first-hand account of what it’s like to experience Ibogaine within the walls of Beond. Listen to the immense growing, healing, and changing that’s a result of this incredible program. how 12 hours can feel like 45 minutes, and what the Ibogaine experience is like.
