This week, Alice is joined by Dr. Brendon Stubbs, a leading scientist in mental health and neuroscience. This episode features a deep dive into the connection between exercise and mental health with Dr. Brendon where he shares insights from his extensive research, including the preventative and therapeutic effects of physical activity on mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, and schizophrenia. The discussion covers the neurobiological mechanisms underlying these benefits, the importance of balancing exercise intensity and enjoyment for sustainability, and emerging concerns such as the increase in sedentary behaviours among younger generations. The conversation also touches on personal experiences with mental health and the significance of a holistic approach that includes movement, diet, sleep, and mindfulness. Additionally, Dr. Brendon highlights the need for implementing evidence-based practices to make a real-world impact, moving beyond academic research to practical applications.
