The Seano Show - W. Bryan Hubbard

In this episode of The Seano Show, Bryan Hubbard reflects on his path from growing up in Appalachia to becoming a leading advocate for expanded research into ibogaine as a potential treatment for addiction and trauma-related conditions. Drawing on his experience in public policy and opioid response efforts in Kentucky, Hubbard discusses how witnessing the impact of the opioid crisis shaped his interest in exploring new treatment approaches.

The discussion also examines the policy and scientific efforts behind the Texas initiative that allocated $50 million for clinical trials studying ibogaine. Hubbard describes the challenges of advancing new therapies within established treatment systems while outlining the broader movement among advocates, researchers, and policymakers working to evaluate ibogaine through the FDA drug development process.
