#387: Former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans on Mind/Body Connection, Functional Mushrooms and The Life Changing Power of Psilocybin!

Rashad is a former UFC Light Heavy Weight Champion and UFC Hall of Famer.  Rashad knows a thing or two about the connection between mind and body, and the importance of having both in sync. He credits mushrooms for that one-two punch of focus + energy in training and competition, and then easing the transition from fighter to "just getting back to being me."
