"I was going to make sure that my sobriety was going to make an impact, to show folks that I changed, and so can you."
Ever wondered how someone can transform from living a glamorous yet destructive lifestyle to becoming a beacon of hope for others? Dmitry Foox's story is a testament to the power of change and resilience. In this episode of 'One Day I Decided', Dmitry, a physical therapist and co-founder of Phys Recovery, opens up about his journey from addiction to recovery, and how fitness played a crucial role in his healing process.
Dmitry's life began in Russia, where he felt out of place in both Russian and Jewish communities after immigrating to the US. This sense of not fitting in led him to seek acceptance in the glitzy yet perilous world of Hollywood's drug scene. Falling in love with the drug dealer lifestyle, Dmitry's life spiraled into addiction. The turning point came with the tragic loss of his grandmother on his birthday, which pushed him deeper into substance abuse.
But Dmitry didn't stay down for long. He found a lifeline in physical fitness, which not only helped him recover but also gave him a new purpose. Dmitry now dedicates his life to helping others heal through physical therapy and drug rehabilitation. His story is a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and that finding a new purpose can be a game-changer.
Tune in to hear Dmitry's inspiring journey, from his struggles with body dysmorphia and addiction to his transformation into a healer. If you're facing similar challenges or know someone who is, Dmitry's story offers hope and practical insights into the healing power of fitness.
