173 - Benjamin Forest - 25 Years of Depression - Gone in a Day

173 - Benjamin Forest - 25 Years of Depression - Gone in a Day

Benjamin Forest was a decorated U.S. Air Force officer, a family man, and a war college graduate. But beneath the medals and checklists of success, his spirit was silently collapsing. After his father’s death and the slow unraveling of his life, Benjamin ended up in a psych ward on Veterans Day. That was the breaking point—and the beginning.

In this deeply emotional and eye-opening conversation, Benjamin shares how psychedelics pulled him out of suicidal depression and transformed him into a better man. His first five-gram mushroom journey not only ended a years-long battle with depression—it changed his spiritual DNA. Since then, he’s become a powerful voice in the psychedelic healing movement.

From sacred mushroom ceremonies to ayahuasca rituals, 5-MeO-DMT whiteouts to ibogaine recoveries, Benjamin unpacks his wild journey and how it all led to his book:
"Trip of a Lifetime: The Psychedelic Guide to Healing, Loving, and Living."

Topics include:

  • His breakdown in uniform—and what triggered it

  • Why psychedelics worked when nothing else did

  • The spiritual experience that made him believe in God

  • What happens inside a psychedelic church

  • The one ceremony that showed him he was insecure

  • Why men must reclaim emotional courage

This episode is raw, redemptive, and deeply human. If you’ve ever felt broken—or curious about the healing potential of psychedelics—this one’s for you.
