Can Psychedelics Boost Cognition?

Over 550 floats in 4 different decades...

Dozens of plant-guided psychedelic explorations and trips...

With over 30 years of floating, ayahuasca ceremonies, LSD, and psilocybin explorations, Kevin Johnson has a lot to share with us on this week's Optimal Performance Podcast.

The owner of Zero Gravity Institute float center, Kevin sat down with us for a mind-expanding episode of the OPP that fascinates, educates, and enlightens.

Psychedelics like ayahuasca, DMT, LSD, and psilocybin are experiencing a revival of late, and we have wanted for some time to secure a guest who could share informed insights on this topic for us... Kevin did not disappoint.

In fact, this is our second consecutive podcast than runs for more than 60 minutes. Typically I try to keep these in the 30-40 minute range, but Kevin's information and insights were too good to stop.
