614. The Heart of Iboga: Ancient Healing, Modern Maladies—PTSD, TBI, & Addiction w/ Tricia Eastman

In this episode, I sit down with the extraordinary Tricia Eastman, a traditional Mestiza medicine practitioner, Bwiti initiate, and author of Seeding Consciousness. With over a decade of experience working with plant medicines like ibogaine and 5-MeO-DMT, Tricia brings rare insight into the intersection of ancestral wisdom and modern psychedelic healing.

We dive deep into the significance of indigenous-led biocultural preservation, how plant medicine can reconnect us with our spiritual roots, and what it really means to walk a path of initiation. Tricia shares her powerful story of healing from an eating disorder, and how her own encounters with sacred medicines led her to a life of global service—from facilitating retreats with special operations veterans to founding the nonprofit Ancestral Heart.

Whether you're curious about iboga, exploring sacred sexuality, or seeking deeper purpose, Tricia brings the kind of grounded wisdom and integrity this space desperately needs.
