Truxtun Foundation

Truxtun was the name of CJ’s lacrosse locker room at West Point. Years of relentless pressure, and Truxtun was where you could breathe. Where the people around you carried the same weight, and being honest didn't make you weak. That's what we're building. A room full for people who get it. Because no matter how capable you are, the next level requires more than just you.

OUR Mission: to support veterans, executives, athletes, and entrepreneurs through a structured psilocybin integration protocol designed to unlock clarity, resilience, and long-term leadership.

Founded by military leaders and executives who hit a wall conventional approaches couldn’t touch. Built for anyone who refuses to accept traditional “success” is the limit.

Our team bridges lived experience with professional excellence, medicine, performance psychology, and integrative wellness. 

Our Story

Built by those who lived it

We are united by a shared mission to heal the invisible wounds of war & transform the transition from active duty to civilian life into a rite of passage that cultivates clarity, community, & leadership by subsidizing veteran access to our 14-week program. 

our ethos

↳ SCIENCE

Truxtun’s protocol is grounded in research. Psilocybin creates a 2-4 week neuroplasticity window where the brain is more adaptable, we structure every week around that biology. 

↳ INTEGRATION

The ceremony opens a window. The 14 weeks of coaching and community are what you build through it. One without the other doesn’t hold.

Truxtun Team

↳ Community

You can only go so far alone. The cohort is the asset—people who’ve operated at similar levels, carrying similar weight. That network lasts.

↳ LEADERSHIP

When you operate better, everyone around you feels it. Your team. Your family. Your company. Fix the center, the rest shifts.
