Dave DeRemer: From Military Service to Mental Health Advocate

If you can keep those things in mind that are important to you and trust and have faith in God to guide you, you just can't go wrong.
What do you get when you mix military discipline, a passion for fitness, and a heart for mental health advocacy? Meet Dave DeRemer, a retired USAF Senior Master Sergeant and Men's Physique Pro who has turned his life's challenges into a mission to help others. In this episode of 'Mental Insights', host Brendan Cutuli sits down with Dave to unpack his journey from military service to becoming a beacon of hope for those struggling with PTSD and childhood trauma.
Dave's story is one of resilience and faith. After years in the military, he encountered his own mental health battles, which led him to a deeper understanding of how childhood experiences shape our adult lives. He didn't stop there; he wrote a book, 'The Shelf: Faith, PTSD and Overcoming Me', where he dives into his own struggles and triumphs.
In this candid conversation, Dave shares how faith played a pivotal role in his healing process, helping him navigate some of his darkest moments. But it’s not just about faith. Dave emphasizes the importance of self-care and maintaining balance across mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical health. He offers practical advice on how to build these pillars in your own life, drawing from both his personal experiences and his time helping others in the military.
This episode is a treasure trove of wisdom for anyone grappling with trauma or seeking to understand the impact of their past on their present. Dave’s insights remind us that no matter how tough life gets, there’s always a way forward. Whether you're dealing with your own mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, you'll find Dave's story both inspiring and enlightening.
