Matt Cooper is a nutrition consultant, integrative health coach, and strength & conditioning coach from Los Angeles, California. You can tell by looking at his website’s bio at RewirePerformance.com that he’s an avid learner who applies and combines his knowledge from different fields to craft tailormade training programs for his clients ranging from professional athletes and celebrities to everyday gym members and local kids from the Compton area. Matt openly speaks about psychedelics as performance and fitness enhancers, for example, on The Third Wave podcast, where he’s also a consultant. Although Matt can speak about a range of topics, we’re going to discuss a common physical discomfort caused by long bouts of immobility during iboga experiences, that is to say, muscle cramps, and, nutritional considerations tied to psychedelic use, specifically how it relates to the iboga experience. Topics of our discussion include: the difference between cramps and strains; (de)hydration and the importance of electrolytes; purging of toxins; fitness tips for iboga/psychedelic users to proactively reduce muscle soreness; nutrient “reloading” or “loading up” prior to experiences; foods to avoid while on iboga because of how they affect drug metabolism by the cytochrome P450 2D6 enzyme modulator; what and why the Bwiti eat and don’t eat before and after an iboga experience; and how the body communicates its nutritional needs via cravings to be satisfied.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
