Show Notes

In this episode of Real Crime with Adam Shand, Adam sits down with Lewis Mbwela, an Iboga practitioner trained in the traditional West African medicine used for centuries by the Bwiti people. Unlike clinical Ibogaine treatments now appearing in the West, this experience involves the full Iboga root — a powerful plant medicine said to confront trauma at its source.

What begins as an observational journey becomes personal when Adam decides to undergo the treatment himself. He shares his unfiltered experience, the physical and psychological effects, and what he witnessed among Australian Special Forces veterans struggling to come home from war.
