World-renowned concussion/brain/spinal injury Neurosurgeon Dr Charles Tator talks about being a lifelong ‘local yokel,' his mother being the original ‘helicopter mother,' the era when the Maple Leafs won Stanley Cups ALL the time, why the BRAIN [not the heart] is your soul, why we need to focus on the front end of the concussion problem [PREVENTION], the good that came from the Steve Montador tragedy [“you can have my brain”], why Gary Bettman and the NHL need to recognize that CTE is actually a REAL thing, why Scott Stevens shouldn't have been allowed to be a ‘shoulder knockout expert,' why contrary to the Tua-situation the NFL is actually making great progress on concussions, his reminder that you only get ONE brain [PROTECT IT!], why it's good news that his innovative ‘Halo Vest' may be approaching obsolescence, and the overarching question behind all his work: how much is one brain worth??

Natascha Wesch returns to Silver is the New Gold to talk with me about identity, goals and setting realistic expectations when getting back into sports/training and competition as a mature athlete, and it’s all positive. Inspired by the book Game Change: The Life and Death of Steve Montador and the Future of Hockey, by Ken Dryden, I wanted to know what it means to identify as an athlete and how that can both help and hinder mature athletes who are returning to sport, so I asked Natascha if she’d like to come back on the show to talk with me about it and she agreed! Natascha is a consultant who specializes in mental performance for athletes who want to achieve their best potential as both athletes and humans. — For show notes visit the website at: https://silvergoldwomen.com/episode-10/ — Music for this podcast was created by the immensely talented, and generous, Outwild.

Steve Montador's death at age 35 in 2015 was a shock to the hockey world. The revelation that he had CTÉ was even more of a shock as it forced hockey to take a look at why a young man such as Steve would have developed the neurological disease. Hall of Fame goaltender Ken Dryden asks the tough questions as to why it happened and how things need to change to prevent it in the future.
In this episode, Joe interviews "Car Bomb"- the 9-year NHL veteran, 2-time Stanley Cup winner (as a member of the Chicago Blackhawks), founder of The Chapter Five Foundation (an organization helping athletes transition into post-sports life), and advocate for the healing power of psilocybin, Daniel Carcillo. Carcillo tells the story of his struggles and depression brought on from post-hockey life transition, 7 diagnosed concussions, and the death of his good friend and fellow player, Steve Montador, who struggled with similar issues before his sudden death in 2015. He talks about the stress of pro sports and the cult-like, team-first attitude in hockey, the hazing athletes experience coming up, the causes and effects of yelling coaches and a "be better" attitude, and how his post-hockey work and speaking out has ostracized him from the community while many people are reaching out to him for help behind the scenes. His first hero dose of psilocybin forever changed his life, but it wasn't just psilocybin- he's done a lot in the 5 years since that first ceremony, from neurofeedback, acupuncture, deprivation tanks, and using a gyrostim, to regularly microdosing, taking medicinal mushrooms like lion's mane and reishi, meditating, starting a CBD and supplements company, and growing huge crops of cannabis. He talks about how this has all helped improve his life and his relationships with his family, and what he hopes to do with his Chapter Five Foundation and beyond- researching more into what worked for him and developing a protocol/regiment to help people affected by concussions, post-concussive syndrome, TBIs, CTE, or just those struggling with what to do after sports. Notable Quotes “I’m an advocate for everything, for all tiers. I’m an advocate for the Decrim Nature [model] because it’s a lower-tier model to get people this medicine, and then I’m an advocate for the clinical model that people are pushing forward in Oregon, and I’m an advocate for these big pharma/biotech companies coming out and researching. ...You really have to make sure that we’re doing it the right way, and I think a lot of the companies out there are, so I think there’s such an opportunity at the ground floor right now to really get in, and if you have something that’s proven, that’s worked (like we do), then I really, really just feel so passionately about furthering that type of research, to again, get millions of people this type of treatment and this type of option.” “It’s still kind of unbelievable when I begin to talk about it, kind of what I’ve set in motion, but I believe in it so much and I’m still really in awe of what this medicine has done for me. We have one life to live. How do I help the most people that I can?” “I just had to adjust my whole perspective and thinking and how I spoke to myself, changing the negative motivation to positive. But it’s constant work, because I’m just so used to being yelled at and then [being negative towards myself]. It’s definitely one of the biggest shifts that I’ve had, and I had that shift- that was at 2 and a half months after that big ceremony. That’s where I knew- that’s what really convinced me, and I’ll never forget this: I was driving out to my plants and they were about, I don’t know, 3 feet tall, and we were about 2 and a half months in, and I was like, ‘Wow Dan, really good job.’ I had this voice say that and I was like, ‘What the hell was that? Where did that come from?’ I’ve never done that, ever, and I was like ‘Ohhh man, something happened. Something shifted.’” Links Danielcarcillo.com Chapter5foundation.com Madeplanthealth.com (his CBD and supplement company) Twitter Instagram Psymposia.com: Chicago could become largest city to Decriminalize Entheogenic Plants Yahoo Sports: NHL pins Steve Montador's fatal brain injuries on his ‘own lack of due care’ US Patent 6630507: The US Government's Cannabis Patent Parkinsonsnewstoday.com: Silo Pharma Plans Phase 2B Trial Testing Low-dose Psychedelics in Parkinson’s Gyrostim.com Del Jolly’s Psychedelics Today episode (lots of concussion and TBI talk) About Daniel Carcillo Daniel Carcillo is a two time Stanley Cup Champion and played 9 seasons in the National Hockey League.

Dan Carcillo has played 9 years in the NHL, playing for the Chicago Blackhawks and La Kings during his career. He played the role of an enforcer on the ice and has had over 100 fights in the game and won 2 Stanley Cups. Dan, along with other rookies, was physically, sexually and emotionally abused at 17 years old by veterans as a young athlete coming through the ranks, because of ‘hockey culture' and the unwritten understanding of ‘what goes on in the room stays in the room'. Dan has also had 7 diagnosed concussions… He had a friend called Steve Montador who passed away from CTE (a disease which is triggered by repeated brain trauma). From seeing this happen and struggling with his own concussion, Dan now has a new purpose in shedding light on treatments he has experimented with and how concussions should be handled better in sport. Psilocybin and which is the active ingredient in magic mushrooms are now in breakthrough stages of research to help treat severe depression and anxiety. Dan is at the front of a new way of thinking - that psilocybin and medicinal mushrooms can help heal concussion and improve brain health.

Welcome to episode #73 of the DeanBlundell.com Podcast. We switch gears a bit and decide to shelf the jokes for today and discuss something very serious. Long-story short, Dean called Brian Burke a turd, Dan Carcillo retweeted it and followed Dean. Dean loves Dans' story, Dan is now a guest on the show today. Funny how life works. Recently, more and more players are joining the fight in hockey. However, these fights aren't against other players, but rather, against the NHL itself. Daniel Carcillo is one of many players who is now suing the NHL for withholding information about traumatic brain injuries. Dan who is no stranger to head injuries was heavily affected by the death of friend Steve Montador. Since his retirement, Dan has dedicated his life to studying the effects of head trauma and educating the masses. Dan hopes his message is heard by our youth and parents when deciding whether or not to put their kids into hockey. The boys discuss Steve Montador, chapter 5, self-medication, his career, mental illness, the NHL, seeking treatment and recovery. Dan gets into "return to play protocol" and doctors with strong relationships to teams serving the sport over the well being of the player they are diagnosing. Enjoy this very controversial, candid and educational conversation with Dan Carcillo. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
