Imagine waking up one day to find that your health is spiraling out of control, demanding immediate changes to your lifestyle. I had such a wake-up call with a hypertensive diagnosis, prompting me to take significant steps towards a healthier life. This episode isn't just about my journey, though; it's about the symbiotic relationship between mental and physical well-being, especially for those juggling high-stress roles, like business ownership. We explore actionable lifestyle changes—reducing alcohol, eating better, engaging in brain-stimulating activities, and the importance of taking time to disconnect from work. We also reflect on the priceless moments we often overlook, like coaching our kids' sports teams and savoring family time.

Ken Patterson, the Director of Community of Todyl, joins us to shed light on the profound impact of community in mental health. As we share heartbreaking stories of loss due to suicide and substance abuse, we underline the importance of vulnerability and open conversations, especially among men. Ken's heartfelt experiences emphasize the need for mutual support and fostering a stronger sense of togetherness. This episode serves as a powerful reminder: by prioritizing community well-being and checking in on each other, we can create an environment where meaningful connections and supportive dialogues thrive.
