We are joined on the podcast by Former UFC light-heavyweight champion and UFC Hall of Famer “Suga” Rashad Evans. We are also joined by Del Jolly, who worked as part of Decriminalize Denver and Charlotte’s Web CBD before co-founding Unlimited Sciences, a psychedelic research nonprofit.

Rashad and Del have partnered together to create a functional mushroom company called "Umbo." On this episode, Rashad and Del discuss how they met and started their partnership, Rashad’s loss for the desire to train and compete in MMA and how using “Toad Medicine” helped with seeing a new perspective in training.

We also discuss dealing with “Ego Death,” why Rashad started fighting/MMA, and why he returned to fighting after retirement. Dell shares what interested him in using “Toad Medicine,” how perception of life and understanding of consciousness has changed, why medicines such as Psilocybin are illegal, the process of legalization and what research is behind Psilocybin, how Psilocybin creates new neural pathways and neurogenesis and the impact on CTE for MMA fighters, what are functional mushrooms and how they can help your health, how Rashad has modified his diet and training as he has gotten older, and Rashad and Del discuss their functional mushroom company “Umbo,” and the mission behind the company.
