Given the holiday season is ironically when happiness and well-being are often at their lowest and anxiety at its highest, I thought it might be helpful to share with you five of my favorite podcast episodes with some of the world’s foremost experts who can help you stay healthy, happy, and sane through this holiday season.

During the next 5 weeks, you will learn about the importance of movement, how it affects your creativity (and how to sneak it into your crazy day with minimal time), the practice of intuitive eating so you can still enjoy all the holiday food (but without the guilt), how to use mindfulness to keep calm amidst the holiday chaos, and finally how to maintain your sanity by improving the quality of your sleep.

Without further adieu, here is episode one of my five-part interview series with Dr. John Ratey, a clinical psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, who tells us about the relationship between movement and brain power. This podcast was one of the key resources I used to create my ultimate guide to building a healthy, ergonomic workstation.
