There are many associations between mental health and physical health. As the World Health Organization has stated, “There is no health without mental health.”
Physical activity and good nutrition have been proven to positively influence how we feel and can help manage the symptoms of numerous mental health conditions. On the other hand, poor physical health, including chronic physical conditions, can directly impact our state of mind.
So how can we better understand the link between the brain and the body? Furthermore, how can we incorporate positive mental health practices into both our day-to-day lives and the treatment of health conditions?
In this previously recorded session, Christopher M. Palmer, MD, breaks down the connection between our physical and mental health, shares strategies to support our own and our loved ones’ health journeys, and answers audience questions about how we can feel better, mentally and physically.
