Truth Junkie Podcast with Kevin Bates

In today’s episode I interview Tricia Barker, who experienced a profound near-death experience during her senior year of college. Her unique story has been featured in National Geographic and the Doctor Oz show. She interviews other near-death experiencers and others on her YouTube Channel and her book Angels in the OR: What Dying Taught Me About Healing, Survival, and Transformation is available now.

In this interview Tricia shares the details about her Near Death experience and the “verifiable incident,” the simple yet profound messages she received, the beings that looked like angels who were helping the doctors, her premonition about her accident the night before, and much more…

Today I’m speaking with Del Jolly, the co-founder and current director of the psychedelic research nonprofit Unlimited Sciences. Del was previously the Business Development Manager at Charlotte’s Web Hemp Oil, the world’s largest CBD oil producer. He was also the Outreach Director for Decriminalize Denver, which passed a historical initiative to decriminalize psilocybin mushrooms in the city of Denver.

In this interview he shares how psychedelic mushrooms are helping pro athletes treat TBI’s (Traumatic brain injuries), a John Hopkin’s study that had an 80% success rate in getting smokers to quit smoking with a single dose of mushroom, why it may not be PTSD that’s leading thousands of soldiers a year to commit suicide like previously thought but actually concussions, and much more. Enjoy.
