Psychedelic Research Is Accelerating: Ibogaine, PTSD, and the Launch of North Node

This is a special episode, filmed on Earth Day, and it marks a turning point.

Exploring ibogaine for opioid addiction, psilocybin for healing, and a new model for education, integration, and community. This conversation dives into psychedelic research, PTSD, and what is shifting right now.

I’m joined by my partner Angela Dahlof, who has spent over a decade cultivating psilocybin and working as a facilitator. She shares part of her personal healing journey and what led her to this work. You can learn more about Angela here: https://www.explorenorthnode.com/meet

We also talk about a major moment unfolding right now, with President Trump signing an executive order to accelerate research into psychedelic plant medicines. There is growing attention on ibogaine, especially for its potential in supporting people living with PTSD and opioid addiction. This comes in the context of a 30-plus-year opioid epidemic in America that has impacted millions of lives and families. Early outcomes have been deeply promising, especially for veterans who have been searching for real relief.

This episode is also an announcement.

For the first time, we introduce North Node, a private educational association with a mission to expand access to education, integration, and community. We share how we came together with a simple vision to create intentional and responsible spaces where these medicines can be explored with care and support.
