Want to know how physical activity can help with anxiety and depression?
In this episode of the NESI podcast, we speak with Dr. Ben Singh about his landmark research on the impact of exercise on mental health. We discuss how different types, durations, and frequencies of physical activity affect symptoms of anxiety and depression—and how these effects compare to standard treatments like medication and therapy.

Whether you're a health professional, researcher, or just someone interested in using movement to support mental wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights backed by high-quality evidence.
