#58 - Mike Stratton: Is Ibogaine an Performance Enhancer?

Mike Stratton came to Beond looking for the ultimate optimization tool, and found something closer to a nervous system reorganization. In this episode of Ibogaine Uncovered, Talia Eisenberg speaks with Stratton about why ibogaine belongs in the high performance conversation.

They discuss burnout, decision fatigue, and the limits of stacks, peptides, and stimulants when the underlying operating system is dysregulated. Stratton describes early “hell ride” sessions that exposed decades of thought loops, then the later shift into presence, spiritual connection, and sustainable recovery. They discuss why a clinics structure matters, how routines and bodywork reduce overwhelm, why surrender is the key mindset for executives and athletes, and how Stratton’s company Merak Health approaches transformation through diagnostics plus ongoing coaching.

Mike Stratton is the co-founder of Merak Health, a precision health and telemedicine platform focused on comprehensive diagnostics, performance medicine, longevity care, and coaching. He has worked for over a decade at the intersection of high performance and health optimization, and has returned to Beond for ibogaine multiple times, framing it as an operating system reset rather than a performance enhancer.
