Psychedelic Therapy for Veterans: A Healing Path Forward

What if the next chapter of your military transition wasn’t about struggle—but breakthrough?

In this episode of VET S.O.S. “The Scoop,” host Kings welcomes Matt Zemon, a leading voice in the growing field of psychedelic therapy for veterans. Matt shares the insights behind his groundbreaking book The Veterans Guide to Psychedelics and reveals why more and more veterans are turning to psychedelic-assisted therapies to treat PTSD, depression, and emotional detachment after service.

Matt and Kings explore:

• Why conventional treatments are not enough for many veterans

• What a psychedelic therapy journey looks like—from preparation to integration

• The life-changing role of ceremonies, coaching, and community

• Options for legal access in the U.S. (like ketamine clinics and Oregon retreats)

• How nonprofits like Heroic Hearts Project are offering fully funded retreats to help veterans heal

Kings gets vulnerable, sharing his personal battle with mental health, isolation, and post-service weight gain. His story mirrors countless others who feel stuck after transition—and his journey of transformation is a testament to the power of seeking new tools.

This episode is your invitation to step outside the stigma and into a conversation about healing with integrity, science, and soul.
