Wednesday, 27 May, 2026
Today's guest is Ian McCall. He's a former world champion MMA fighter with over 20 professional fights who competed in the UFC and went to war with some of the best in the world.But Ian's story goes far beyond the cage. After his fighting career, Ian was left with life-altering brain damage. The hits he took didn't just affect his body—they affected his mind, his identity, his purpose. Like so many retired athletes, he found himself lost.Then he found psychedelics. Ayahuasca. 5-MeO-DMT. Ibogaine. These medicines helped him come back home to himself.Today, Ian is the founder of Athletes Journey Home, a non-profit that helps athletes navigate retirement, brain injury, addiction, and identity loss using science-backed psychedelic therapy and trauma-informed care.We talk about his MMA career and the toll it took on his brain, how psychedelics impacted his life, and the mission behind Athletes Journey Home.Ian is raw, honest, and on a mission. This is one of the most important conversations I've ever had on this podcast.
