Training in martial arts like Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Judo, wrestling, & Muay Thai is my outlet for improving my mental health and becoming a better person.

On this 125th episode of the Jiu-Jitsu Outlet podcast, I talk to Jiu-Jitsu blue belt Jody Hendrix.

Jody is a father and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu practitioner who has radically transformed his mental health and family life off the mats thanks to the healing power of Jiu-Jitsu.

We discuss how Jiu-Jitsu changed Jody's life and end up discussing his battle with cancer and how he was able to use the cannabis plant to help his body recover from this disease.

This is a conversation you do NOT want to miss!

The information in this episode should NOT be considered medical advice but instead educational information.

This is the therapy service that worked for me when I was at my darkest moments in life and dealing with panic attacks everyday.
