the
mission
TEAM SAPO provides access to comprehensive, holistic care for Special Forces veterans and their spouses. We help veterans and their families reclaim their lives through:
Natural medicine therapies
Biopsychosocial-Spiritual (BPS-S) support
Regenerative and somatic modalities
mentorship, coaching, and community accountability
the problem
The Conventional Healthcare System is failing our veterans.
Traumatic Brain Injury and Operator Syndrome are misunderstood and mistreated
Many SOF veterans face Treatment-Resistant Depression, cycling through medications and providers
Up to 50% of veterans with PTSD show little improvement with conventional therapy
Standard medications treat symptoms, not root causes
SOF veterans suffer in silence, with devastating mental health outcomes
the
solution
We developed an integrative protocol addressing the root causes of TBI, Operator Syndrome, and treatment-resistant depression. In concert with the BPS-S model, we combine natural medicine, regenerative therapies, and evidence-based integration for full spectrum healing.

the protocol
The SAPO Protocol integrates the (BPS-S) model with evidence-based natural and regenerative therapies designed to restore balance across the mind, body, and spirit. Our multi-phase approach combines neurorestorative modalities, biological optimization, and guided therapeutic experiences within a structured environment that emphasizes preparation, ceremony, and integration.

the
research
TEAM SAPO partners with researchers, clinicians, and universities to advance the understanding of holistic, integrative healing.
The SAPO Protocol combines the BPS-S model with the sequential administration of complementary modalities which creates the most efficacious treatment model known.
Our research doesn’t just validate our approach- it expands the scientific dialogue.
Ongoing qualitative and quantitative studies explore long-term outcomes of psychedelic-assisted therapy in veterans with TBI and treatment-resistant depression.
Findings extend current research by examining relational healing, identity reconstruction, and family systems transformation.
Data directly informs iterative improvements to the SAPO Protocol, ensuring evidence-based evolution of our model.
the journey
The journey begins with a comprehensive mental and physical assessment. Once treatment goals have been established, a customized health plan and regimen will be created. Eight weeks prior to ceremony, participants will be placed in their cohort of 10 members and begin individual and group sessions with PhDs, therapists and coaches. Retreat ceremonies last 4 days and are conducted under the supervision of clinical professionals and shamanic healers.
Through guided sessions in a serene and supportive environment, attendees are able to explore and overcome personal challenges. These retreats are facilitated by experienced guides who ensure a safe and nurturing atmosphere, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in an experience that produces life-changing, emotional healing for both themselves and their loved ones.
