[@tbtb7084]

Iain, thank you for delving into your personal life and acknowledging you take an SSRI. To hear a superhuman of a man admit he has anxiety is very informative to hear, it helps de-stigmatize anxiety and mental health. Respect man. Also Fouad, I also appreciate how you are very open with your anxiety as well. It is good to see we are in a day of age where these topics are accepted.

[@josephpagano9499]

Roman gets cut off the most but every time he gets his word in its always fucking gold lmao

[@fredt1809]

Huge respect to all of you for talking about anxiety and depression.

[@Lanch15]

Hearing Iain and Roman talk about what they’re going and went through is very important in the sense where, it’s ok to have these thoughts and feelings, but moreso important to have a good support system or method to get through the tough patches

[@joereynolds9772]

That first part on anxiety was just what I needed right now been going through a hell of a lot and been feeling a lot. To hear this being spoke about helps me not feel as alone. Thank you so much

[@adamandras8762]

Couldn’t agree more Joe!

[@Im_JLC]

Iain opening up being himself more and more is honestly amazing too see, no doubt in my mind he is gonna have and leave a huge impact on bodybuilding and help alot of people deal with their issues and remove the stigma about just "manning up and getting on with it"

[@TheMrRickDee]

Fouad, looking extra swole. Great podcast again. The anxiety, depression discussion was very insightful and even made me feel better about my own anxieties. Good to know you're not fighting alone.

[@alexandrudumitru2435]

Daily depression medication right here. Thank God for this podcast and Thank you Fouad and the entire crew. You guys make our days better every week.

[@mahbub87hussain]

This podcast has become such a great escape from the day-to-day bullshit. Switch off for a couple of hours.

[@Stuartcpht]

It’s almost sad how excited I get when these notifications pop up.

[@ironfist9414]

I have a diagnosed mental illness. Took the meds for 2.5 years. Got back control, in all that time i never stopped training. The meds made me look like shit like a water bag. I dieted down. Competed. I placed fifth. Didnt even take any PEDs. It wasnt a big comp or shit like that but for me it mattered alot. Because before the diagnosis i always wanted to compete and be a bodybuilder. Even then i never missed a day in the gym. I feel alot better hearing you guys talk about this. Right now i am struggling to get my thyroid and my metabolsim working to the normal i used to be. It brings me down. But i decided to keep working out do my cardio and eat clean. I cant give up. And now that i heard all this. No matter what comes my way. I am going all in. Thankyou so much guys. Iain you will never know who i am and honestly it wont even matter. But you are an amazing human. This is the greatest time for bodybuilding in my mind.

[@Scribblenauty]

Respect to Iain to being real with it!

[@Kevin-21]

It's great to know that even you guys who I look up to deal with anxiety...I'm almost completely paralyzed by anxiety just to do everyday things or interactions...I'm 22, single an unemployed. Waiting for these podcast an working out gives me something to look forward too in life an not just ending it all

[@dlindo8892]

You can do this. You are NOT alone, OK? You have a community here, with common interests. Let us give you a hand. We can help you. 👍💪🤠❤

[@MR12AMAZING]

Shit, you just described my situation perfectly and ironically we are the same age lol. I finally got employment a month ago and things are getting slightly better so I hope your situation improves too brother.

[@EnlistedtoEmployed]

So I love that Iain talked about his personal use of SSRI and how it has helped him. As a mental health advocate and a former soldier who has experienced my own battle with mental health yalls open conversation will help those people on the fence but who are still struggling. Truly appreciate this podcast!

[@MJJspeaks]

Big respect to Iain for being so open and transparent about his mental health issues… he’s somebody I look up to because of his no bullshit demeanour and rational thinking on most topics - for someone from the outside who seems to have so much resolve it means a lot to realise that he’s just like all of us. I’ve had my own issues lately and this really means a lot. You guys are the best.

[@jasonneiss1169]

As a bodybuilder and someone with depression and anxiety since I was a teen and am now in my mid 30’s. I appreciate so much for men getting on a podcast and talking about there feelings and mental health. We go through life putting up such strong walls to hold us up and we forget how to let others in. Be true to yourself, hard working, and never quit attitude. Let’s get it ladies and gents! 💪💪

[@taylorkeith7555]

Arguably one of the most important conversations had on this podcast. Thanks Iain for sharing. If your brain isn’t making enough happy juice it’s always okay to supplement. This was a great step to normalizing that

[@Btoupin0422]

Roman is the best! Such a great addition to the podcast. Can’t wait to see him compete next year.

[@BTTREdits]

Fouad I just want to thank you really much for the timestamps and labels you put up for all the episodes. I can guess its some work that may be annoying, but it serves so much value. Thank you really much!

[@user-ki1vd3ti8j]

I love that they are talking about real life issues. Mental and emotional issues are real for everyone.

[@vstrvcvrtv]

Just started taking SSRI a week ago, and this video couldn't have been better timing, always felt worried how long I'd love with this fatigue and stuff, and if I'd normalise my schedule, but ian powering through is definitely uplifting, God bless yall

Such an important podcast. Many of us are suffering in silence. Mix this with a little Seth get your priorities straightened out

[@dimanaboytcheva7078]

The talk about anxiety and depression is much appreciated by me and I'm sure many others. I feel like in the bodybuilding sphere this isn't talked too much so respect to you guys being open about that. :) Talking about something so personal isn't easy but I'm sure it's gonna help a lot of people watching this.

[@MariusSc]

The first few minutes were very important. Hearing that men like you have to deal with the same shit makes it a lot easier. It’s so good that men are able to talk about this without being discriminated or some stupid other bs. Thank you- really

[@ezekieljarek7705]

25:58 Iain : "I want you to fight Craig Titus" 🤣

[@LambClone]

Hey Fouad, I've actually managed to get rid of my anxiety attacks, but I used to have them everyday in school. I didn't even know what was wrong with me, but I know that pressure cooker feeling, and your heart just gets faster and faster until you run out the door, I used to get in so much trouble because of it. There's loads of stuff you will learn, and I am so glad you are talking openly about it, you're an inspiration. The best thing I learned and that I hope helps you, is that anxiety feels like you're being pushed off a cliff. All your instincts and physiology is telling you, you're in danger, you need to get out, and that you're gonna fall. Try at some point to give in to that pressure feeling. Instinct is telling you it's a cliff, but when you fall, and you land, and it was only a 2 inch drop, from then on out my anxiety improved everyday, until the panic attacks went. I wish you the best of luck, you're doing great, God bless.

[@tonyandvikiaskew2469]

Thank you, for talking about anxiety, and the challenging of living with it, and overthinking everything you can think of. I have the same challenges, and my wife is the only one that knows about it other than me posting this now. You guys have been an amazing help talking about the subject now, and on some of the podcast in the past. Thanks again!

[@rymcg123]

anxiety is a fear of future, depression is remembering the past, look around and live in the moment

[@kaseybaker1]

I’m 17 minutes in and this is by far the most helpful to me of the hundreds of these I’ve listened to. Hearing the openness is making me pinpoint what I go through

[@SportsInNYC]

[@jro558]

TY for sharing your personal stories - really awesome to hear men coming forward talking about anxiety. Congrats to Melissa on her new job woohoo! And another congrats - heard you signed Brett Wilkin to Hosstile- hope to see him on the podcast soooooon:) Would love to see some female Hosstile brand wear...a small tee now would end up past my knees:)

[@mikestephenitch1463]

Hosstile should absolutely sponsor Roman. He literally emulates what the brand stands for.

[@mikestephenitch1463]

You could honestly see the excitement on Romans face when Fouad said, “We should really talk about that” when referencing Hosstile sponsoring him. It was honestly cool to see. You can tell he really wants to be apart of the brand.

[@KeithForsberg]

The way Iain explained his anxiety is exactly how I am with everything. Overthink a lot of things sometimes one thing to the next and can’t control it all the time. Especially coming from someone that has mostly recovered but stills deals with an eating disorder know how Iain feels. Helped hearing you guys talk about it and it has been suggested to me to try anti depressants so might look into it.

[@Evo-athleticOR]

Pumped up Roman protecting his neighbor from the salesman if fking awesome haha I love that.

[@josjaa]

Much appreciate the open talk about anxiety and depression. Been on meds on and off for years, and it pains me to see there's still a stigma on mental health issues. No one needs to suffer through this alone. Thanks!

[@briandelia7148]

So much value in this first part of the podcast. Glad you guys always keep it real ❤️💪🏼

[@SenseiDoyle]

Ian is awesome for being so real and just open with a lot of touchy subjects

[@lesmund]

First part of the podcast was like a breath of fresh air to hear - appreciate it guys

[@christopherdavis4135]

Iain's point from 7:25-7:50 rings a bell with me. I'll sometimes look into the future and look at all the negative things that could happen, rather than just crossing that bridge if I came to it and dealing with it then. It can take over your life and be debilitating if you don't seek help.

[@gshockmusic7037]

The candidness about anxiety is cool and it's nice to see this being discussed openly because many top athletes in almost every sport don't really ever address these topics while they are still competing in their respective endeavor. Good shit!!!!

[@BroderickBrodie21]

I love me some bro Chad, thank you fellas. 🇨🇦😎💪🏽 Thank you for talking about anxiety and depression, I became blind nine years ago never had anxiety had it so bad, got cancer a couple years afterwards the anxiety came even worse. I said fuck this and I stood tall and became fearless.

Is it too weird that I am a 120lb girl who binge watches these bro chats? You guys are hilarious. Thank you for brightening my days 💕

[@centarfor17]

Thank you guys for being here every week. I really do feel like being in the bro chat with you 🙏

[@kerryobrien71]

Iain, is awesome with sharing real experiences and being open and truthful. I think the discussion of mental health and anxiety, is amongst the best and most useful serious content in these podcasts. They are always fun and entertaining podcasts, but talking seriously and honestly about serious issues, is going to be super useful for many listeners. Well done Fouad and Iain.

[@Mrcrood]

Man this podcast was needed today. I had a anxiety attack im convinced and after listening to you guys im gonna talk to my dr about it. i ve had other situations like it but always denied it was anxiety. It ironically yesterday started over a flat tire and the spare ended up being to low to be useful and my mind i cycloned till i started the sweats couldnt control my breathing etc

[@johnorourke7484]

Iain is the best seeing the real personality is priceless you guys opening up like this is awesome Thank you

[@cross123ish]

The openness of physical and mental issues in the World of Bodybuilding is perfect to let others know they are not alone in the struggles of life.....everyone has issues and it’s all about owning it, dealing with it, excepting it and getting the help they need...I have learned to live with my pain, it’s now part of my life, I accept it and I can live with it and I’m happy....this is why your podcast rocks, it’s honest.

[@GB0066]

Roman has a great idea. Even though most of your neighbors are older, I’m sure they have other members of their family or friends that can use your products. Word of mouth is a great inexpensive way to market your brand & products. Example: how many products being sampled at Costco do you see ending up in people’s carts that day. Plus older people can benefit from more protein and Aminos. You can educate them on this since most people don’t get enough protein and sarcopenia is a real issue in our aging population. Keep up the great work!!

[@jamiemeek532]

Watching this while off work for stress/ anxiety. I'm glad that Iain could openly talk about his thoughts and what he is taking. I've not considered medication but what thoughts Iain says that he has sound similar to what I think too. I'm not saying I'm gonna jump on the meds but it's opened my mind to considering them. Always enjoy the podcast but appreciating this episode even more so.

[@jeremybatah4827]

It’s really refreshing hearing you guys talk about medication and mental health. Too many people in the industry just put on a face and act like nothing ever bothers them

[@gregferguson8926]

All I really wanted to say to young guys out there....no matter what you are doing, if you care, then break the fucking mold and follow your heart. You can do more than one thing at a time, but don't neglect your passion, if it is your body. It will speak to you every day of your life.
