Talia Eisenberg (Beond): How Ibogaine Gets to the Root of Trauma
Psychedelic Therapy Podcast #58
The West African psychedelic iboga (and its extraction ibogaine) continues to show an impressive ability to heal addiction and trauma.
Today we are joined by Talia Eisenberg, of Beond, a Mexico-based ibogaine treatment center.
Our conversation begins with Talia’s personal history and how addiction relates to trauma. We discuss ibogaine integration to prevent relapse, and how Beond is designed to be a full-service wellness center for those healing from addiction and trauma. We conclude with ibogaine’s effectiveness in treating eating disorders and behavioral addictions, and Beond’s plan for rolling out future clinics.
