Taylor Dayne Loyd joins Let R Rip for a raw, hilarious, and brutally honest conversation about fitness, reinvention, online coaching, tattoos, motorcycles, social media, and what it really takes to build a body, a brand, and a life that feels aligned.

Taylor is a personal trainer, online coach, former CrossFit athlete, USA Weightlifting coach, Precision Nutrition specialist, and the creator behind TDL Coaching. With over a decade of hands-on coaching experience, she brings a no-BS approach to fitness, strength training, women’s health, discipline, and long-term lifestyle change.

In this episode, Jake Sirokman and Mikey Getz sit down with Taylor to talk about why she hates influencer culture, why real transformation takes more than two workouts a week, why environment matters, why she left Texas for California, and why authenticity will always beat fake marketing.

They also dive into tattoos, rebellion, coaching standards, group fitness, women lifting heavy, peptides, biohacking, sleep, caffeine, motorcycles, and why 2026 is Taylor’s year.

No scripts. No filters. No fake guru bullshit. Just truth over comfort.

In Episode 19 of the Let R Rip Podcast, Jake Sirokman and Mikey Getz sit down with Paul Karasik, founder and CEO of the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles, for a raw and eye-opening conversation about psychedelics, addiction, microdosing, trauma, consciousness, and the future of healing.

Paul founded the Psychedelic Institute of Los Angeles in 2020 as a nonprofit organization focused on education, safe access, and community for people exploring higher consciousness. With decades of experience dating back to the psychedelic movement of the 1960s, Paul brings a rare perspective that blends lived experience, recovery, leadership, spirituality, science, and modern psychedelic education.

This episode dives deep into the psychedelic renaissance and the growing conversation around plant medicine, LSD, psilocybin, MDMA, DMT, ayahuasca, mescaline, ketamine, microdosing, addiction recovery, trauma healing, anxiety, depression, and spiritual awakening.

Paul breaks down why psychedelics are not simply about “getting high,” but about creating space from the ego, interrupting destructive mental patterns, and opening the door to deeper self-awareness. The conversation explores the default mode network, neuroplasticity, integration, safe use, intentional preparation, and why the experience itself means nothing without real-life change afterward.

Jake also opens up about his own past with drugs, alcohol, cocaine, mushrooms, LSD, MDMA, and microdosing, sharing how intentional psychedelic experiences with his wife have helped create deeper connection, emotional awareness, and spiritual clarity. Mikey brings a grounded perspective from the lens of addiction, fear, sobriety, and the concern around people using psychedelics without proper guidance or intention.

This is not a surface-level conversation about psychedelics. This is a real discussion about suffering, addiction, healing, consciousness, spiritual bypassing, ego death, safe access, and the responsibility that comes with using powerful tools.

If you are curious about microdosing, psychedelic therapy, trauma recovery, plant medicine, addiction, higher consciousness, or the future of mental health, this episode is for you.
