Aaron Rodgers is the back-to-back reigning NFL MVP, and he thinks he found the secret to finding an extra gear in his late 30s: psychedelics.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback said on the Aubrey Marcus Podcast that he credits ayahuasca — a tea containing hallucinogenic drug DMT — for improving his mental health and his play on the field.
“To me, one of the core tenets of your mental health is that self-love,” Rodgers said on the podcast. “That’s what ayahuasca did for me, was help me see how to unconditionally love myself.”
Ayahuasca is common in Central and South America.
