We create stories about ourselves, we engage in in sort of vicarious experiences through other people, and that that affects us.
Imagine having a conversation with some of the brightest minds in mental health. That's exactly what happens in this episode of 'Lifestyle As Medicine'. Dr. CotherHajat hosts a lively discussion featuring Sarah Ann Macklin, founder of the Be_Well_Collective, Dr. Paul Puri, psychiatrist and TV writer for NBC's Chicago Med, Ben Bidwell, coach and founder of Men without Masks, and Dr. Sophie Attwood, senior behavioural scientist.
They dive into the profound impact role models and storytelling can have on our mental health. Ever wondered how your diet affects your mind? Or how social media might be shaping your self-image? This episode tackles these questions head-on. The guests share insights on the benefits of outdoor exercise and the brain-boosting power of omega compounds found in oily fish. They even touch on how technology can help or hinder mental health.
One memorable quote from the episode is, 'We create stories about ourselves, we engage in sort of vicarious experiences through other people, and that affects us'. If you're looking for a conversation that's both enlightening and relatable, this episode is a must-listen.
