In this powerful episode, Whiz sits down with Dr. Deborah Mash, the renowned neuroscientist known as the Queen of Ibogaine. While Whiz and countless others share their personal healing journeys with ibogaine, Dr. Mash brings the hard science. With over 30 years of research, she breaks down how ibogaine and its metabolite, noribogaine, work to heal trauma and addiction at the neurological level—including a scientific analysis of Whiz’s own experience.
Dr. Mash tackles the fear and misinformation surrounding this medicine, explaining how the risks can be mitigated—or even eliminated—with proper protocols. She also discusses her groundbreaking work in taking the “psychedelic” out of the psychedelic experience, making ibogaine more accessible for those hesitant about the visionary aspects. As she asks, “Do you need the trip to get to the destination?”
Dr. Mash also shares an exciting update on her company, DemeRx, and its mission to revolutionize treatment for Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD).
If you’re curious about ibogaine, considering sitting with this medicine, or know someone who could benefit, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Mash is the leading authority on the subject—and now, the newest member of the No Fallen Heroes advisory board.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
