6- Jarrad Phillips

Jarrad Phillips is a soccer and golf coach and has experience as an athletic trainer. In this episode, we talk about the healing power of movement and exercise. Coach Phillips shares personal experiences with delaying hip surgery through strength training and yoga, and I reflect on my own injury. We also touch on the roles of diet, sports, community engagement, and mental outlook in leading a healthy lifestyle. The latter part of the conversation explores deeper themes like spirituality, religious faith, and the impact of psychedelic experiences on personal beliefs.
