Ep.34 | Can Mushrooms Heal Chronic Pain?: Rewiring the Body To Heal Itself | Navy Vet & Firefighter Devon Colbert

S4 E34 • Oct 29, 2025 • 75 mins

Jordan Ryan sits down with Devon Colbert to explore his journey with the Colbert Project and his background in public service. They discuss Devon's recovery from injury and the potential health benefits of mushrooms, including experiences with psilocybin in Texas. The conversation delves into serotonin receptors, chronic pain, and the gut-serotonin connection. They examine psilocybin's role in spinal cord recovery, the risks of spinal surgery, and the synergy of Vitamin D and psilocybin. Topics include microdosing for retired service members, holistic healing, and the medical industrial complex. The episode also covers mental health, aging, spirituality, and future projects, closing with personal experiences and outreach efforts.

Key Points

  • Psilocybin microdosing can offer significant relief from chronic pain and muscle spasticity without the harsh side effects of traditional medications.
  • The combination of psilocybin and the enzyme chondroitinase ABC shows promise for promoting neural regeneration and recovery in spinal cord injuries.
  • Holistic approaches to healing, including community support, diet, and a connection to nature, are crucial for effective recovery and overall well-being.
