Can "Original Medicine" solve the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) crisis facing our athletes and veterans?
In this episode of The Ultimate Asset, we sit down with Kyle Quincey, a 13-year NHL veteran (Detroit Red Wings, LA Kings, Colorado Avalanche) who walked away from the game with 20+ concussions and a crumbling sense of identity.
Kyle pulls back the curtain on the "old school" NHL culture, where survival meant a lethal cocktail of alcohol, anti-inflammatories and Ambien provided by the team. He shares his raw journey from the brink of despair to finding profound healing through a high-dose psilocybin "hero journey" that changed his brain and his life forever.
Now the founder of Do Good Ranch in Crawford, Colorado, Kyle is recreating the "locker room" for veterans, first responders, and elite performers using nature, sunlight, community, and sacred medicine.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The NHL Medical Myth: Why "Little Caesar's pizza and diners" was the standard for elite performance nutrition.
- Playing Through Pain: What it’s really like to play in the NHL with one leg and a broken face.
- The TBI Epidemic: Why athletes and Special Forces operators face the same "loss of purpose" after service.
- The Science of Psilocybin: How a 6-hour journey acted like a "mechanic under the hood" for Kyle’s brain.
- Do Good Ranch: The "personal use" model of Colorado Prop 122 and why nature is the ultimate teacher.
