  164 NHL Fights, a Dementia Diagnosis at 30 & the Breakthrough That Saved Daniel Carcillo's Life 27.07.2026 54mnt

  Before he was a psilocybin advocate, Daniel Carcillo was Car Bomb — one of the NHL's most explosive enforcers, a two-time Stanley Cup champion who fought 164 times on the ice and paid for it with seven concussions and an early onset dementia diagnosis at 30.In this episode of Fit2Perform, Brad Clifford sits down with Daniel for an unflinching conversation about what high performance actually costs, how the system fails elite athletes when they stop performing, and how psilocybin-assisted therapy at his Portland service center Experience Onward is doing what pharmaceuticals, neurologists, and $300,000 in treatments couldn't.Whether you've lived the crash or you're chasing the edge, this conversation will change the way you think about brain health, identity, and what it means to truly rebuild.What You'll LearnHow the culture of professional sport — specifically the code of sacrifice and will — shapes identity in ways that persist long after the game endsWhy conventional medicine failed Daniel Carcillo after retirement, and what $300,000 in treatments didn't solve that psilocybin didThe specific protocol Daniel used — diagnostics, high-dose ceremonies, microdosing washout, and retesting — that reversed his dementia-like symptomsWhat the Johns Hopkins and FDA data actually say about psilocybin for depression, PTSD, and TBI — and why a 7% vs. 50–70% success rate is one of the most underreported statistics in medicineHow Experience Onward's legal psilocybin service center in Portland structures preparation, ceremony, and integration — and why the work after is more important than the ceremony itselfConnect with Daniel Carcillo:Daniel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-carcillo-202792106/Experience Onward Website: https://experienceonward.com/Connect with the Show:Brad on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brad-clifford-a1389431/Elevétion Website: https://elevetion.com/Fit2Perform | Hosted by Brad CliffordFollow, subscribe, and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.
