What if the gym could be your sanctuary for mental well-being? In this episode of 'A Quest for Well-Being', Valeria Teles sits down with Leon Stensholm, founder of Body By Leon coaching and personal training, to explore how fitness intertwines with suicide prevention and mental health. Leon's journey began after the tragic loss of his best friend and brother, which propelled him into the world of bodybuilding and eventually led him to help others find solace through exercise.
This conversation dives deep into the science behind how physical activity can influence hormones, endorphins, and neurotransmitters, boosting mood and cognitive function. Leon shares his personal experiences, highlighting the importance of daily physical activity in fostering resilience and overall well-being. The episode also touches on broader themes such as trauma, addiction, co-dependency, and self-love. Leon's routine, filled with gratitude and mindfulness, offers practical tips for anyone looking to improve their mental and physical health.
Tune in to hear about the transformative power of fitness and how a shift in mindset can pave the way for a healthier, more balanced life.
