Welcome to Proper Mental episode 68 with Ben Coomber who is a nutritionist, speaker and coach.
He has worked in the fitness industry for 14 years as a personal trainer, coach and nutritionist as well as hosting the Ben Coomber Radio Podcast.
I reached out to Ben after reading one of his social media posts about his experience with depression as a result of long Covid which, at the time of recording, he was just coming out of after 18 months.
Ben is used to being both physically and mentally healthy and it was a big adjustment for him to slow down life in order to heal and recover fully. Ben has done an incredible amount of research and experimentation in to recovery from long Covid and I think anyone who listens will get a lot out of his experience.
We also chat about his journey in to fitness, learning to slow down, working on the inner stuff as well as the outer stuff and why the gym is not your therapy.
It was brilliant to chat to Ben, there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of conversation around long Covid and how it affects Serotonin levels or the actual recovery process and what’s involved.
