Have you ever thought about exercise as the ultimate antidepressant? In this episode, I dive deep into the idea that exercise isn’t just about physical health—it’s a powerful antidepressant and one of the quickest ways to feel great all day. In my new book, Feel Great All Day, I discuss exercise as a form of medicine. Today, I’ll share insights from my journey and highlight the mental health benefits of movement. I’m also thrilled to welcome Stephan Peeler, a mental health advocate and founder of Peelers Apparel, whose story of resilience and innovation will inspire you. Stephan’s approach to fitness, rooted in yoga and mindfulness, has influenced his mission to create apparel that empowers confidence and inner strength. Whether you’re looking to boost resilience, confidence, or simply feel better, Stephan’s journey and practical advice offer tools to help you get there.
