How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode of The Sports Doctor Radio Show, Dr. Robert Weil, renowned sports podiatrist, brings together two incredible guests, Dr. Monica Vermani and Dr. Mamta Bhatt, to discuss the intersection of mental health, sports medicine, and overall wellness. Dr. Vermani, a clinical psychologist from Toronto, shares her extensive experience with trauma and anxiety in extreme populations, highlighting the importance of mental fitness alongside physical health.
She delves into how mood, anxiety, and trauma manifest in physical symptoms and negative thoughts, offering insights into overcoming these challenges through mindfulness and a holistic approach. Meanwhile, Dr. Bhatt, a Harvard-trained scientist and corporate wellness expert, introduces the concept of the 'holistic athlete,' emphasising the role of lifestyle medicine in preventing chronic diseases. Her five-pillar approach—food as medicine, stress regulation, intelligent movement, mindset, and optimised sleep—offers a comprehensive framework for achieving peak performance and vitality. Together with Dr.
Weil, they explore the mental game in sports and life, discussing how awareness, education, and action are crucial for mental and physical resilience. From the challenges of youth sports to the impact of diet on mental health, this episode is packed with practical advice for anyone looking to enhance their well-being. As Dr. Weil says, "If you want a better world out there, it starts with you." So why not start today?
