When I'm talking about mental health, I cannot talk about it without connecting it to physical health...as I said earlier, this is to do with my experience, the field that I work in, what I've experienced myself personally and what I've seen within my family.
Ever wondered why mental health and physical health are often discussed separately? In this episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', Vicky Midwood breaks down the barriers between the two. Drawing from her 32 years of experience in health and wellness, along with her personal journey through addiction and disordered eating, Vicky offers a refreshing perspective on why mental health cannot be isolated from physical health.
She dives into how lifestyle choices directly impact mental wellbeing and highlights the power of nature in managing stress and anxiety. You'll find practical tips on how to nurture your mental health through simple lifestyle changes. Vicky also tackles the often confusing landscape of mental health diagnoses, explaining why some physical symptoms are mistakenly labeled as mental health issues. In her candid style, Vicky emphasizes the importance of talking about your feelings and seeking support.
She touches on the link between thyroid function and mental health, and the crucial role neurotransmitters play in our overall wellbeing. Environment and background also come into play, as Vicky discusses how they can affect mental health and why setting boundaries is vital. If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your mental health, this episode is a must-listen. Vicky encourages everyone to seek professional help if needed, reminding us that keeping things bottled up won't make them go away.
Tune in for a blend of scientific insights and personal anecdotes that will leave you feeling informed and inspired to take charge of your mental wellbeing.
