Laurin's Mission to Bridge Physical and Mental Health

In this conversation, Laurin Conlin discusses the critical intersection of physical and mental health, particularly in the context of coaching and bodybuilding. She emphasizes the evolution of coaching from rigid dieting to a more flexible approach that incorporates mental health awareness. Laurin highlights the importance of exercise as a therapeutic outlet and the necessity of therapy for everyone, not just those in crisis. The discussion also touches on the need for research into mental health issues within the bodybuilding community and the importance of open dialogue in coaching relationships. Laurin shares insights from her own experiences and the launch of her new podcast, 'Undefined,' where she aims to explore these topics further.
