Optimal Performance Podcast w/ Sean McCormick

Roger Drummer joins the Optimal Performance Podcast In this episode we cover: • Brain injuries and the need for certain nutrients. • Roger's mystical experience drinking reishi mushroom tea. • Roger's bladder cancer diagnosis and how he disappeared his tumors naturally. Now he's cancer free for 3+ years. • How we just flat out do not and cannot consume the right nutrients for optimal performance without herbs and adaptogens. • What is an adaptogen? • How adaptogens are often mislabeled. • How the HPA axis - hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal - effects your stress and everything in your body is regulated by the HPA. • How to think about how you react to adaptogens. If you get tired, that may be important to pay attention to. • The whole point of herbs and adaptogens is to empower the body.
