Choose the Hard Way

Life Cycles: Cycling Through Mental and Social Health with Alex Palmer of Blackdogcast


Listen Later

After navigating depression and bipolar 2, Alex Palmer sought more purpose and meaning in life. He founded a mental health awareness project in the cycling world called Blackdog, and now hosts Blackdogcast, a cycling-powered mental health awareness podcast.

He shares his insights into environmental stress in the pro cycling world, searching for a job that works with you, and how too much of anything - including riding a bike - can become an unhealthy way to hide from your problems.

Now, Alex works with Heading Health, an Austin-based start-up offering integrated mental health care and psychedelic therapy. You can read more about him in the show notes.
