Welcome to the Mind Muscle Connection Podcast!

In today’s episode, I sit down with Dave Marsh to deep dive Performance, Recovery, and Nervous System Regulation

We talk about the role your nervous system plays in recovery, how chronic stress can sabotage your training, and what metrics actually matter when you’re trying to grow, physically and mentally. Dave also shares his personal experience with ayahuasca, and how that helped him reconnect with his body in a way no spreadsheet ever could.

If you’ve been training hard but feel like your results have stalled or your life outside the gym is bleeding into your performance… this episode is a must listen.
