Today, I’m excited to be joined by David Bidler, the founder of Physiology First and a true leader in the world of 21st-century health education.

David’s work focuses on empowering young people by teaching them critical skills around stress and anxiety management, proper sleep habits, and brain health. He’s on a mission to give the next generation the tools they need to thrive physically and mentally.

We talk about how David's journey shaped his passion for helping young people develop lifelong skills for resilience.

We dive into the real-life challenges kids face today, like overstimulation and anxiety, and how David’s organization, Physiology First, is leading the charge in creating a new model of mental health education rooted in physical well-being.
