Tying Addiction Recovery to Exercise with Angie Manson

Welcome to the 53rd episode of the Give A Heck Podcast! Join Dwight Heck and his guest, Angie Manson, as they talk about tying addiction recovery to exercise. From low-income housing to the CEO of Elevate Addiction Services, Angie has been through a whirlwind of character-building moments. But amid her darkest days, a compassionate judge who sentenced her to treatment opened her eyes to helping others—her true purpose. So now, Angie runs the only drug rehab center with a CrossFit gym and hosts the Elevate Experience Podcast, sharing a genuine “behind the scene” perspective on the road to recovery. In this episode, you’ll learn about: ● How addiction is a learned behavior, often stemming from childhood upbringing. ● The value of vulnerability when helping other people get past their trauma and level up. ● Why acceptance is essential when taking the first step to recovery. ● The impact of our associations in life and how to protect ourselves to protect others. ● How community has helped many addicts and alcoholics in their journey to recovery. ● And much more! ~ About Angie Manson: Angie Manson has dedicated her life to freeing those suffering from drug and alcohol addiction.
