Athletes, Mushrooms, and the Broader Movement
On Season 4 of the Mycopreneur Podcast, host Dennis Walker sits down with NFL veteran and Athletes for Care founder Robert Gallery to discuss the journey from professional football into a severe post-career mental health crisis — and into the work that has him advocating for athlete access to psychedelic-assisted therapy.
Topics Covered
- Psychedelic therapy applications for athlete mental health
- Traumatic brain injury treatment approaches and emerging research
- Advocacy efforts inside and around the sports community
- Implications of the recent Executive Order accelerating psychedelic research
A4C in the Spotlight
Robert positions Athletes for Care as a credible resource for athletes seeking alternative therapeutic options — backed by research, anchored in lived experience, and built to bridge the gap between what conventional sports medicine offers today and what tomorrow’s standard of care could look like.
The episode arrives at a pivotal moment: with federal momentum behind psychedelic research and a growing roster of high-profile athletes telling their recovery stories publicly, the case for structured U.S. access has never been more credible.
