In this episode I'm Joined by a special guest, Dr. Anders Hansen, a psychiatrist and best selling author from Stockholm. Together, we explore the surprising science behind loneliness, mental health, and how our brains are wired for survival. You’ll learn how isolation not only impacts emotional well-being but also worsens physical health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. And how simple connections—like a brief phone call—can dramatically reduce feelings of loneliness and improve life expectancy.
Dr Hansen and I also tackle the challenges of modern life, from the dangers of social media comparison to the impact of screen time on youth mental health.As well as get into the importance of movement and exercise, revealing how regular physical activity can be as effective as medication for treating mild to moderate depression, while emphasizing the need for professional help in severe cases.
This episode is a reminder that we are not broken. By reframing mental health, embracing support, and taking even small steps like connecting with others or moving our bodies, we can reclaim control of our lives. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion filled with compassion, hope, and practical strategies for navigating the complexities of mental wellness.
