Finding the gym and eventually, by chance, powerlifting, gave him purpose and a reason to look after his well-being.Fuelled with a natural affinity for the extreme, Merat relentlessly moved through 5 world championship wins and world records, all the time struggling with mental demons. Now a successful PT, Merat is not free of his struggles but has built a toolbox of life habits that keep him accountable and moving forwards.MERAT TAFRESHI PODCAST SHOW NOTES:Eating disorder (1:59)Powerlifting: how it started (6:21)World Championships and cutting weight (13:51)Equipped vs Raw (29:36)Genesis family and community (34:33)Training regime (39.13)Bullying, discrimination and upbringing (46.14)Mindset, drive and getting uncomfortable (56:08)Daily habits (1:07:55)Coaching and Ultimate Performance (1:13:58)Mental health, depression and addiction (1:24:11)Connect with Merat:Instagram FacebookTwitterLinked In
