We've been finding out more and more how many players in the NFL suffer from CTE, and a recent study has shown that even playing youth football could cause brain damage that leads to devastating consequences in adulthood.

With that, let's get back into the second part of Jake's story.

He has just woken up in Rosarito, Mexico after taking Ibogaine and is about to begin his day of DMT.

This episode is called Down the Silver Strand Part Two, and you're listening to Otherworld.

It's tragic to think that we're only just now discovering how severe and common these things are, especially when you think about how many individuals went completely untreated up until this point.

But fortunately, we may have some treatments to give relief to people suffering from these disorders, thanks to emerging research in psychedelic and plant medicine.

Even though these types of treatments are new to Western medicine, most of them have been used by shamans, healers, and medicine men for thousands of years in ceremonies that combine health, spirituality, and a bit of the supernatural.

And even though the research into psychedelic medicine is a bit difficult because it's still primarily outlawed in the United States, the research and treatment that is being done has been showing incredible results.

And this episode is a story from someone who experienced it himself very recently, actually.

It's a story that starts on Coronado Island at the very, very southern coast of California and eventually ends on that same coast, just about 15 miles south across the border in Rosarito, Mexico.

So I will let Jake take it from here and tell the story himself.

This episode is called Down the Silver Strand, Part One, and you're listening to Otherworld.

Okay, we have to take a quick break, but we'll be right back with the rest of Jake's story.

The new year does not require a new you.

Maybe it just calls for a less burden one.

Therapy can help you notice what you're carrying that no longer needs to come along.

Whether that's fear, pressure,

perfectionism, or self-doubt, letting go of that pressure is an ongoing process, and having an unbiased perspective can really help you clarify why certain patterns keep showing up in your life.
