Dr. Nafisa Sekandari (Holistic & Integrative Psychologist and Author) challenges the way in which we treat the number one disorder in the world, our Mental Health!

Don't miss this brilliant discussion of how our hormones, toxins, and so many other factors are contributing to our mental state and how we can take our health into our own hands and allow our bodies to do what they do best... heal themselves!

Key Takeaways:

🔑 Anxiety is the number one disorder in the world, and it is important to normalize conversations about mental health and reduce the associated stigma.

🔑 Taking care of our gut health is crucial for improving our mental state, as the majority of feel-good chemicals are located in the gut.

🔑 Hormonal imbalance can contribute to mental health issues, and it is important to address and balance hormones through lifestyle changes.

🔑 Medication has its place in extreme circumstances, but a holistic approach that focuses on lifestyle, diet, and self-care is often more effective in managing mental health.

🔑 Practices such as breathing, sleep, and meditation can have a significant impact on mental health and should be integrated into daily life. Empower children with learning disabilities by having open conversations and providing strategies to help them navigate their challenges.
