In this powerful episode of Sportsing, former UFC flyweight Ian McCall opens up about the battles that began after the cage. Known for his fierce performances in the Octagon, McCall now fights a very different opponent—brain trauma, identity loss, and emotional healing. He shares his deeply personal journey from elite athlete to psychedelic integration coach, revealing how plant medicine, breathwork, and holistic practices helped him rewire his mind and rebuild his life. From the physical toll of MMA to the silent suffering many athletes face after retirement, Ian gets candid about the costs of glory and the unexpected path to recovery. Whether you're an athlete, a fan, or someone navigating your own healing journey, this episode is a raw, eye-opening look at what it truly means to transform pain into purpose. — Follow us on instagram:  @sportsingthepodcast Find Gloria Govan: @glogovan Find Erica Lynn O'Keith: @msericalynnok Find Ian McCall: @ianmccall Visit Ian’s Website: https://themccallmethod.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
