EFR 468: Why Your Mental Health Should Be Just As Much of a Priority as Your Physical Health with Ben Smith

Ben Smith, fellow Army veteran and coach at the legendary Deuce Gym in Los Angeles, encourages anyone going through a life-changing transition period—service members in particular—to actively seek guidance, whether through workshops, support groups, or connecting with a mentor who has been in their shoes and successfully crossed the bridge. In today's conversation, Ben sheds some light on his mental health struggles before and after his time in the military, including an eating disorder that plagued his days in the Army due to an overwhelming feeling that he had no control over his own life. He also shares two moments in particular when he was gripped by thoughts of suicide and what allowed him to soldier on down a path of healing. Tune in to learn some of Ben's favorite practices for improving your own mental health today and how to live an others-centered life.   Follow Ben @benveesmith Follow Chase @chase_chewning   Episode resources: Learn more at https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/468  Save 20% off your first order at Legion Athletics with checkout code EVERFORWARD at https://bit.ly/2LmdpUr  Listen to Ben's first appearance in episode 198 https://chasechewning.com/podcasts/episode/198
