Ken Dobberpuhl: How Motion Lifts Your Spirits in Recovery

Motion is truly life. Motion improves emotions. And we could go on and on and on about the importance of moving. And one of the things that I find really challenging as a wellness professional is to help people understand that it really is a continuum.
What if the key to feeling better in recovery was as simple as moving your body? In this episode of 'Sober Conversations', hosts Dr. Herby Bell and Chris Harrison chat with Ken Dobberpuhl, an educator and exercise professional, who shares his insights from Cuenca, Ecuador. Ken believes that motion can significantly improve your emotions, and he backs it up with his holistic approach to wellness.
He discusses the four essential movements that everyone needs for a healthier life and dives into the science behind why exercise is so crucial for mental well-being. But it’s not just about the physical benefits. Ken talks about the emotional uplift that comes from regular movement and how it can be a game-changer in long-term recovery. He also touches on the challenges of maintaining a sustainable lifestyle and dealing with alcoholism across different cultures.
Ken’s passion for fitness is evident—he’s even completed three Hawaiian Ironman Triathlons! His practical advice and relatable approach make this episode a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their recovery journey through exercise. Tune in to learn how small steps towards movement can lead to big improvements in your overall health and happiness.
