Mental health problems are rising across generations, but is the way we treat them actually helping people recover?
What if changing your life didn’t begin with a dramatic overhaul, but with one small decision that made you feel a little more like yourself again? Actress, bestselling author and WillPowders co-founder Davinia Taylor joins John Vincent for a deeply personal, funny and refreshingly honest conversation about food, energy, behaviour and learning how to listen to your body. Davinia shares a period in her life when she simply wasn’t treating herself particularly well. She felt tired, flat and disconnected from the energetic person she remembered being. Then something surprisingly simple happened: she tried a Bulletproof-style coffee with MCT oil and felt a shift. It wasn’t a miraculous transformation. It was the beginning of a cascade. At the heart of the conversation is a wonderfully simple question: how do we eat like human beings again? John and Davinia explore why modern life can leave us disconnected from our bodies, why food should be about more than calories, and why sometimes the most powerful changes begin with something incredibly small.
Tony Brown joins John Vincent to share his extraordinary journey from severe depression and psychiatric hospitalisation to rebuilding his health, relationships and sense of purpose. Tony recalls being sectioned under the Mental Health Act, receiving 17 courses of electroconvulsive therapy and eventually finding his way out of hospital with help from an old school friend.
What if the biggest problem with modern healthcare isn’t a lack of science, but the way science, regulation and commercial incentives are being used?
