Dr. Chris Hardy - Hold the Jiu-Jitsu and give me all the depression

The Jiu-Jitsu Speakeasy Podcast

**I had to use a backup mic so my audio is a little wonky, I will have that sorted for the next episode. Hope you enjoy.​**

Chris and myself enjoy a chat about the effects this lockdown has been on our mental state. I have been all over the map and have struggled with a tremendous amount of mixed feelings and we try to talk about it. I also hit him with a series of quick hitting questions that I fielded from you, the listeners. So be sure to check out that last 20min or so for that. Some of the topics we touch on are:

• How fears affect or impact those with depression?
• Does depression come from fear?
• What are if any self diagnosable techniques to know if you are depressed? What are some signs, besides just feeling poopy?
• Soreness issues, I need help!
• Fats post workout, why or why not.
• Working out to look good and training jiu-jitsu
• Should I get in shape before starting bjj
• What are his feelings about Wim Hoff method, breathing/cold water therapy.
• Some good stretches for BJJ and lifting?
