From Using the Gym as Therapy to Helping Others Avoid that Pitfall, with Josh Levine PMP 78

The Way of The Primal Man with Chase Tolleson

Hello friends!
My name is Josh Levine and I am the founder, CEO and one of our Head Coaches here at The Muscle Building Method.
I thought it would be fun to kick this off with a few things you might not know about me, so here it goes:
I was born and raised in the smallest state in the USA - Rhode Island
I’m infatuated with the world. I’ve been lucky enough to travel 6 continents and immerse myself in over 30 countries. Vietnam might be the most beautiful place on Earth.
I have not always been strong or muscular. In fact, I was always a bit of a toothpick. When I started lifting I was about 155lbs (soaking wet).
I’ve been a competitive athlete all my life. From traditional sports like baseball, basketball and soccer to action sports, I did it all.
I’m a huge mental health advocate. I struggle with depression, anxiety, ADHD and OCD and have found a lot of my peace and happiness in the gym and on the snow, which lead me to spending teenage summers at Mt. Hood, Oregon and influenced some of the major moves in my life, including…
Going to school at Champlain College in Vermont. I say I majored in business and minored in snowboarding lol. I rode 100+ days per year, every year and competed as a freestyle snowboarder throughout college. Then in 2015 I moved to Colorado in search of better snow (Ice Coaster’s will understand)
I didn’t find my love for fitness until after college. I had a bad breakup one summer and I needed an outlet. I started training, became addicted to moving and pushing my body and I never looked back.
I’ve endured a LOT of surgeries that were supposed to keep me out of the gym, and those struggles ultimately lead me to become a stronger version of myself. I started the @struggle2strengthpod with my best friend, @travishawkesmedia to continue to learn and grow from others
I’m the middle child to an older sister and younger brother, a son (congrats on 40 years Mom & Dad!), a partner to the beautiful @alexa_snyd
