In 2022, the legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed that he had experimented with a hallucinogenic drug called ayahuasca on more than one occasion. He referred to this drug as a “life-altering.” A-Rod also mentioned in a conference that it helped him win back-to-back MVPs after a challenging year in 2019. Furthermore, A-Rod claimed that ayahuasca had aided in his personal insight and growth, helped him find deeper self-love, connect with people, and inspire them. Now, as he recovers from his Achilles injury, many speculate whether the reason behind his speedy recovery is ayahuasca.
However, A-Rod and close sources have not confirmed whether he is using ayahuasca during his recovery process. So, what could be the reason for his faster recovery?
