Joshua White, founder of the psychedelic peer support nonprofit The Fireside Project, has dedicated years to guiding people through psychedelic integration. His mission-driven work has helped countless individuals find clarity and healing. But his own journey with ibogaine at Beond took healing to a level he never thought possible for himself.
After years of therapy, Joshua still carried deep subconscious pain from childhood. Through multiple ibogaine treatments at Beond over the years, he finally experienced a profound shift—releasing years of trauma and finding clarity, peace, and freedom.
In this episode, Joshua discusses:
— Why he turned to ibogaine therapy after years of traditional therapy.
— How his two ibogaine experiences at Beond created a breakthrough in his life.
— What makes Beond’s approach different from any other psychedelic therapy.
— His advice for anyone considering ibogaine treatment.
After ibogaine treatment, the brain enters a critical neuroplasticity phase lasting weeks to months, where it becomes highly adaptable to change.
This period is marked by increased GDNF and BDNF brain protein levels, promoting neuron repair, cognitive flexibility, and emotional processing.
During this window, habitual patterns can be rewritten, cravings can diminish, and new behaviors can take root more effectively than ever.
This is when integration is key—what you do during this phase shapes long-term outcomes.
Joshua White shared that he felt the effects of heightened neuroplasticity for almost a year, reinforcing just how powerful this window can be when supported with integration.
