I really believe it has the capacity to not just save lives but make a significant change in the world, certainly in the space of hockey and, I really believe, way beyond hockey.
Imagine the toll of constant physical battles on the ice, both mentally and physically. That's the reality Riley Cote faced during his time as an NHL enforcer. In this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold welcomes Riley Cote, who shares his transformation from a professional hockey player reliant on painkillers to a passionate advocate for plant medicines. Riley's story is a testament to resilience and the quest for healthier alternatives in managing pain and mental health.
Since retiring, Riley has co-founded Athletes for Care, an organization dedicated to promoting the health and safety of athletes, with a special focus on the benefits of cannabis. He also established the Hemp Heals Foundation to educate the public on the nutritional and environmental advantages of hemp.
Together, Brady and Riley dive into the potential of plant medicines like cannabis for treating addiction and mental illness, discussing their anti-inflammatory properties, benefits for anxiety and sleep, and their role in drug rehabilitation programs. They also highlight the power of community support and mindfulness practices in recovery. This episode offers a compelling look at how plant medicines are reshaping the approach to mental health and addiction in sports.
Whether you're a sports enthusiast, someone interested in alternative therapies, or seeking inspiration for your own journey, Riley's insights are sure to resonate.
