Episode 59: Purposeful Work The Grit Podcast: with Dr. Ben Peery

 
 I speak with Jonathan Wilson, husband and father of 5 and Navy SEAL who after completing 16 years of military service, earned his MBA from the Oxford University, Said Business School and began working as a trader with Goldman Sachs.  But, Jonathan struggled with this new integration into civilian life and fought major battles with imposter syndrome, PTSD, substance abuse and severe depression.  After a frustrating journey and failed conventional care with antidepressants, antianxiety medications and a congested VA medical system, he was ultimately, successfully treated with a combination of integrated therapy and the psychedelic, Ibogaine.  Jonathan then used his business and military background to co-found the Seal Future Foundation and INVI Mindhealth to help treat veterans suffering from depression and addiction.  We discuss the compelling evidence-based potential of psychedelic assisted therapy and his new INVI project which synthesizes connectivity and individual biometrics to track mental health and help guide therapy for men and women suffering from treatment-resistant deprerssion.  Jonathan's story is one of resilience and the imperative of always striving to do purposeful work.
