Ten years in the NHL, 2 Stanley Cups, a few Traumatic Brain injuries, addiction, and a healing journey that’s inspiring THOUSANDS - Dan Carcillo is living-proof psychedelics, healthy living, and a self-centric strategy to your wellness works. 

Dan joined Dean today to discuss his journey from a retired and broken 31-year-old former Stanley Cup Champion to owning and operating Experience Onward. This wellness brand is reshaping men's and women's lives, transitioning out of similar darkness. Dan’s one of those people who experienced a life very few people have and found himself in the darkness after scaling mountains reserved for very few human beings. He’s the only person/Athlete I know who has effectively cured himself of depression, anxiety, and PTSD with a healthy strategy catered on Mushrooms/Psilocybin. His journey is as close as possible to a self-healing modern miracle, and he’s just starting in the second chapter of his life. 

If you have ever struggled with addiction, transitioning into a new career, depression, PTSD, etc, and feel lost, this is a podcast for you. Dan shares his unique perspective on evolving in your best interest while advocating for your well-being. The turnaround in Dan’s life has been remarkable, and he works with hundreds of others looking for relief from trauma to live lives full of joy, compassion, and hope.

18:20 Dan at his sickest -25-year-old “Opioid” Dan - is pretty stark: The start of Dan’s journey 15 years ago began with an NHPLA trip to rehab for Opiate Addiction. Rehab is the great equalizer.
