5 ways that lifting weights can help your mental health

While I am NOT a certified mental health professional I am a certified personal trainer and nutrition advisor. In this episode – topic suggested on the podcast’s Instagram account – I share 5 ways that lifting weights can support your mental health. I also offer tips on how to get started.

The first half of the episode covers some of my history with eating disorders, alcohol and drug abuse. While I don’t go into details, if these are triggers for you please consider skipping this episode.
