<![CDATA[Fit2Perform]]>Most people call it aging. We call it avoidable.

Fit2Perform is a performance podcast built around two things: capacity and capability. Hosted by Brad Clifford — founder and CEO of Elevétion, a concierge performance medicine company — this show exists to push against the normalization of quiet physiological decline.


This isn't another wellness show chasing trends. This is about building real capacity and real capability, across every domain that actually determines your performance.

Whether you're a founder, a parent, an athlete, or a leader — if performance is non-negotiable for you, and if you care about showing up strong in business, health, and relationships, start here.

In this episode of Fit2Perform, Brad Clifford sits down with Daniel for an unflinching conversation about what high performance actually costs, how the system fails elite athletes when they stop performing, and how psilocybin-assisted therapy at his Portland service center Experience Onward is doing what pharmaceuticals, neurologists, and $300,000 in treatments couldn't.

Whether you've lived the crash or you're chasing the edge, this conversation will change the way you think about brain health, identity, and what it means to truly rebuild.

What You'll Learn

  • How the culture of professional sport — specifically the code of sacrifice and will — shapes identity in ways that persist long after the game ends
  • Why conventional medicine failed Daniel Carcillo after retirement, and what $300,000 in treatments didn't solve that psilocybin did
  • The specific protocol Daniel used — diagnostics, high-dose ceremonies, microdosing washout, and retesting — that reversed his dementia-like symptoms
  • What the Johns Hopkins and FDA data actually say about psilocybin for depression, PTSD, and TBI — and why a 7% vs. 50–70% success rate is one of the most underreported statistics in medicine
  • How Experience Onward's legal psilocybin service center in Portland structures preparation, ceremony, and integration — and why the work after is more important than the ceremony itself

Brad Clifford isn't buying it.

In this premiere episode of Fit2Perform, Brad draws a hard line between performance and decline, introduces his framework of capacity and capability, and lays out the five domains that will anchor every conversation on this show. As founder and CEO of Elevétion, a concierge performance medicine company, Brad has rebuilt his own physiology from the inside out — and he's built a company to do the same for high performers who refuse to fade.

If you're a founder, a parent, a leader, or an athlete who takes showing up seriously, this is where your next level starts.

What You'll Learn

  • Why capacity and capability are the only two metrics that truly determine your performance
  • How the five performance domains — biological, physical, cognitive, relational, and advanced therapeutics — interact and compound
  • Why the modern environment is systematically eroding your physiology, and what Fit2Perform is doing about it
  • What Elevétion does differently from conventional medicine, and why Brad built it
  • Who this show is for — and who it is explicitly not for
