My mission now is just to promote mental health awareness, break the stigmas and encourage people that doing regular physical exercise is very important for your mental health.
Imagine facing the twin challenges of addiction and bipolar disorder, and then transforming your life into one of athletic achievement. In this episode of Elevation Recovery, Matt Finch sits down with Ultra Tim Davis, a man whose journey from deep despair to ultra running success is nothing short of remarkable. Tim opens up about losing his father at a young age, which led him to alcohol and drugs as a way to numb the pain.
His path took a darker turn when he was diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder while on suicide watch. But Tim's story doesn't end there. Through the power of community, spirituality, and a rigorous exercise routine, he found his way out of the darkness. Today, he's not just surviving but thriving as an ultra runner. His book, TRIPOLAR, chronicles this incredible journey and serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar struggles.
This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration and practical advice for those seeking to overcome their own challenges.
