Jeff Halevy on Trauma at 14, Addiction, Grief, and Building a New Vision for Wellness Through Tech


Listen Later

Jeff Halevy has lived many lives. After surviving a childhood brain tumor and living with undiagnosed PTSD, he poured himself into achievement – becoming an award-winning, multi-exit entrepreneur in health, wellness, and technology. He built businesses at the intersection of fitness and behavior change, served as a correspondent for NBC’s Today Show, hosted the internationally syndicated Workout From Within with Jeff Halevy, and advised on Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign. Outwardly, he was thriving. Internally, he was struggling.

The pressure to produce and the need to stay in motion became unsustainable. Jeff eventually hit a spiritual bottom that forced him to reassess how he was living – redefining how he channeled his energy and passion in a healthier, more sustainable way. Not long after that shift, tragedy struck: his wife died by suicide following severe mental health challenges compounded by postpartum, leaving Jeff to raise two young children alone.

In this conversation, Jeff shares the pain and trauma that shaped him, the emotional cost of high achievement, and how fatherhood became the anchor that kept him grounded. He also reflects on how his journey – through undiagnosed trauma, success, loss, and recovery – inspired the founding of Continuum, where he now serves as founder and CEO. Continuum is a luxury wellness club that uses biometric data and AI to deliver individualized, precision-based wellness – with the mission to make the practice of wellness as precise and intentional as the practice of medicine.

This episode is about trauma, sobriety, grief, and turning pain into purpose: how one man’s healing journey became the blueprint for helping others.

Topics include:

  • Emergency brain surgery as a teenager and its lasting psychological impact

  • Living with undiagnosed PTSD while building a wellness career

  • When overachievement becomes survival – and how that is not sustainable

  • Losing his wife to suicide and raising two infants alone

  • Building and exiting multiple companies in fitness and health

  • Founding Continuum: precision wellness through biometric data and AI

  • How Jeff has come to view success through the lens of fatherhood and being emotionally present
