In this episode, Steven Machek joins me again, this time to discuss the potential role of Psychedelics as an ergogenic aid. We talk about the current state of psychedelic research and some of the ways it is currently used in conjunction with other treatments for things like addiction and PTSD. We also discuss his published paper reviewing some of these clinical tools and their potential for improving athletic performance, flow state, physical creativity, pain reduction, and potential replacement for heavy pain killers post injury and during rehabilitation.
Steven Machek MS, CSCS*D, is a third-year doctoral student at Baylor University that is passionate about powerlifting. His research interests are powerlifting-centered, but also focus more generally on the intersection of resistance training and sports nutrition.
