What's up Trainiacs? Today's podcast guest is Dea Prem Singh. Dea is the guide for the psilocybin

experience that I went on towards the end of June 2021. Now, the reason that we are doing this

podcast and I'm sharing that we've done this is over the last year what I've

realized is there is so much more to fitness and overall wellness than just cardiovascular fitness,

just triathlon. I think that there are really five big things that I've come to learn involve

overall wellness. Cardiovascular being one, strength being another, mobility and agility

through yoga that I've talked about being another. And then the other two that I haven't really

talked about a lot because I'm really just learning what I feel and what I think about these things

is digestive health because so much starts in the gut and then mental health.

And the reason that I am sharing that I went on a psilocybin experience is because going to that and combine with the past couple of years and actually 10, 15 years of having counselors here and there for relationship issues

that I've had with individuals or even just myself, I found the current mental health space

to be lacking. It's a tough structural thing, and it's years of therapy or guidance that you need

that might eventually help you.

But what I experienced during this psilocybin journey, this magic mushroom journey with psychedelics,

is that it makes work that you might want to do on your mental health much more effective

because it starts you off with a clean slate.

Dea was the guide of this journey that I went on.

And we talk here, and one thing that I want to give you as a big note is that the first

little bit of the podcast is a little bit erratic.

What we talked about as we got through it and afterwards after

the podcast was it's really, really hard to discuss something. And as we talked about it, we talked

about the word ineffable. And this is a word that means hard to describe in words, something that is hard to describe in words.
