Episode 82 – Ian McCall: The Athlete’s Journey Home
In this raw and riveting conversation, Ian McCall—legendary UFC fighter turned psychedelic integration guide—joins Unchained Actual for a warrior’s debrief like no other.
Once known to the world as “Uncle Creepy,” Ian reveals what it took to shatter that mask and walk the sacred path home—from addiction, identity collapse, and public persona… to plant medicine, trauma alchemy, and conscious field service.
We dive into:
⚔️ The untold truths of life inside and beyond the cage
🌿 Psychedelics as sacred trauma repair
🌀 Nervous system sovereignty through somatic integration
🛡️ Masculine healing beyond performance and persona
📡 His role in the Unchained Earth mythos—and beyond
We also spotlight Ian’s nonprofit, The Athlete’s Journey Home—a mission dedicated to guiding athletes, veterans, and high-impact performers through the sacred process of reintegration, identity healing, and post-traumatic growth using psychedelic medicine and nervous system repair.
This isn’t just a conversation—it’s a transmission for every man standing at the edge of the known world, ready to remember himself and come home.

In this deeply personal and powerful episode, Ben joins AETHER to confront one of the most urgent crises of our time: the veteran suicide epidemic.
Together, they explore the hidden roots of trauma, systemic abandonment, and the silence too many warriors are forced to carry. But this isn’t just a conversation about pain—it’s a transmission of hope, remembrance, and real solutions.
Topics include:
• PTSD mitigation through inversion, breath, cold, light, and nutrition
• Natural hormone restoration and sovereign TRT support
• Psilocybin microdosing vs. the Hero’s Journey
• The birth of new language: centripetal stillness, agrigor, and bioelectric anointment
• A final message for every veteran who feels lost in the dark
