In this episode we catch up with legend Dan Richards. Dan is a former patient of mine back in 2009 when he broke nearly every bone in his body and sustained a right arm amputation when coming off his Daytona Triumph motorbike. In the conversation we talk about managing your own mental health in current climate, cycling; putting your energy and focus into one or two activities that allow you to disconnect. We also look at unintended positives from adversity and how you can change the narrative rather than accept the negative perspectives give to us. We also look at how to filter news and information in an optimal way to ensure you're getting a healthy psychological diet as well as a physical one.
Please enjoy this episode with a friend as he candidly recounts his experiences of bouncing back from one of the worst injury loads that I have ever witnessed as a paramedic. His focus, perspective and resilience are second to none. For more on Dan please see episode 3 of the restore podcast for a detailed account of his journey from life in the military and his accident in 2009. Also, you can find him at:
