Episode 31: Joe Holder—Intergenerational Health, Mindful Recovery & The Value of Therapy
On episode 31 I finally track down Joe Holder aka Ocho System, founder of Exercise Snacks, Systems of Service, Nike Master Trainer, consultant and overall impressive human being. We dive into his recent exploration of 'Intergenerational Health' and how health needs to be incorporated and democratized across all communities through movement, nutrition and education. Joe shares his experience of overcoming injury through mindfulness and with the support of his father. He also shares his commitment to mental health through therapy, which has become more of his focus during Covid, rather than his body, and how that in turn has created a healthier body by tending to the mind. Among other topics, Joe shares some influential books, resources and his overall ethos for living, learning and giving back.
“When you relinquish judgement especially when it comes to your workouts, to food and the way the body responds to stress, you automatically look better.”
