Iron Therapy: The Mental Health Benefits of Lifting Weights

from The Absolute Strength Podcast · host Kyle Hunt

In this episode, Derek and I dive into the mental health benefits of lifting weights. We talk about how training gives you more than just strength—it provides structure, stress relief, purpose, and a way to anchor your mindset when life feels chaotic. Whether you've used the gym to work through tough times or just feel better when you train, you'll relate to this one. It's not therapy, but it's close—Iron Therapy.
