69 From SWAT to Healing: Aaron Suozzo’s Ibogaine Journey Beyond the Badge
Episode 17
Sunday, 28 September, 2025

Aaron Suozzo is a former police officer and SWAT Team member with the Hayward Police Department in California. After years of carrying the weight of his career, Aaron made the courageous decision to travel to Ambio Life Sciences in Tijuana, Mexico for an ibogaine journey that would change his life forever. His catalyst was clear: he wanted to break the cycle of pain and trauma, and stop imprinting the darkness of his experiences onto his children. What Aaron found through ibogaine was not only deep healing, but also a doorway into truth, love, and a new way of living. In this candid conversation, Aaron shares his journey of letting go of stigma and judgment around entheogenic and psychedelic medicine, and how stepping into the unknown allowed him to discover a profound path of healing he never expected. His story is a testament to the courage it takes to face yourself and reclaim your life.
