You’ve heard it a million times: your physical health is important for your mental health, and vice versa. But do you know why, or what exactly they do to one another? Today, Maryellen wants to talk about that link, and discuss a few more details that you may not think of, including:

The importance of sleep

Eating patterns

Heightened autonomic nervous system = our brain releasing cortisol into our blood stream

Parasympathetic nervous system being repressed

Frustrations with the random gimmicks that promise to “cure all”

Forgetting when we need to do the simple things for ourselves

The value of therapy

Tired as F*ck: Burnout at the Hands of Diet, Self-Help, and Hustle Culture by Caroline Dooner

Knowing when your body needs rest

How our bodies communicate to us, but it’s up to us to listen

Taking the time to check in with yourself

How, if we can start to be aware, we can take better care of ourselves
