Description
In this episode of the Truth Hurts Show, Brian Goldstein sits down with Joshua Mason, founder of Detox Dudes, who shares the harrowing truth behind his breakdown from world champion athlete to bedridden and suicidal.
At 23, Josh was a jiu-jitsu world champion. But just months later, his nervous system collapsed. Misdiagnosed, medicated, and desperate, he turned to Ayahuasca, flying to Peru and drinking in the jungle over 31 ceremonies. What he thought would save him nearly destroyed him.
From hospitalizations to hallucinations, it wasn’t until Josh discovered he had mercury poisoning and Lyme disease that his true healing journey began. Through radical detox, parasite cleansing, and rebuilding his nervous system, Josh reclaimed his health, his purpose, and his life.
If you’ve ever been told you’re “just anxious”… if doctors say it’s all in your head… if you’ve tried it all and still feel broken, this episode will change your perspective forever.
Key Points Covered:
- The shocking story of how a champion athlete’s body shut down overnight
- Why Ayahuasca made things worse, not better — and nearly killed him
- The undiagnosed root causes: mercury, Lyme, parasites
- Why the wellness world is failing the chronically ill
- What most people get wrong about detox
- The truth about colon cleanses, parasites, and daily toxicity
- Josh’s advice for skeptics, seekers, and anyone who feels "off"
