In this episode of the Warriorside Podcast, hosts Diego Ugalde and Noah Galloway recount an intense tech-plagued journey to finally sit down with Kegan Gill, a former Navy F-18 Super Hornet fighter pilot whose life changed violently during a near-fatal 2014 ejection at 695 miles per hour. After defying a grim medical prognosis to miraculously walk again and return to active-duty flying, Kegan details how severe subsequent traumatic brain injuries, a delayed-onset PTSD diagnosis, and an overmedicated military mental health protocol drove him into a profound existential void, severe psychotic breaks, and a 40-day stint in a lockup VA psychiatric facility. He shares a raw account of reaching a suicidal breaking point before finding a vital community lifeline through Jesse Gould and the Heroic Hearts Project, who sponsored his travel to Peru to experience traditional Shipibo Ayahuasca ceremonies. Through melting away his human physical limitations and journeying through a hellish personal darkness to reclaim a forgotten sense of deep internal love, Kegan explains how rigorous integration protocols focused on nutrition, meditation, and outdoor reconnection ultimately allowed him to completely heal his brain, restore his family, and step into his current purpose as a father, husband, and conscious storyteller.
