#52 - Adam Marr: Healing Veterans and Families

From combat missions to psychedelic legislation, Adam Marr has lived the full spectrum of service.

In this episode of Ibogaine Uncovered, host Talia Eisenberg sits down with the Apache helicopter pilot turned veteran advocate to explore how personal trauma led him from the battlefield to the frontlines of mental health reform.

Adam shares his journey through military service, family tragedy, and profound psychedelic healing. He recounts his first experiences with Ayahuasca, Ibogaine, and 5-MeO-DMT, and how these medicines catalyzed a spiritual rebirth that later informed his national advocacy work. Together, he and Talia trace the evolution of veteran-centered psychedelic programs, the creation of Beond Service, and the landmark policy initiatives that are reshaping access to healing for veterans and their families.

Adam Marr is a former U.S. Army Apache helicopter pilot and co-founder of the Warrior Angels Foundation. He serves on the leadership team of the Veteran Mental Health Leadership Coalition, helping to shape national policy and expand access to psychedelic-assisted therapies for veterans. Marr has also been instrumental in developing Beond Service, a comprehensive healing program at Beond that combines Ibogaine treatment with integration and family support.
