Mind and Body: How Physical Health Shapes Mental Wellness
We talk a lot about our mental health and the importance of taking care of it in positive ways. A large part of our mental health is tied to our physical health and in this episode we talk about the struggles each of us have had engaging our physical health.
Ever think about how your physical health affects your mental state? In this episode of the ManVsMood podcast, hosts William and Mike get real about their personal battles with physical and mental health. They kick things off with a humorous chat about Gary's obsession with Hallmark movies, but soon dive into the nitty-gritty of weight struggles, body image, and why ignoring physical health can be a slippery slope.
Mike opens up about living with Meniere's disease, a condition that messes with his hearing and forced him to take his health seriously. William shares his fears around his family's history of prostate cancer and the anxiety of seeking medical help. They both recount their less-than-stellar experiences with doctors and stress the importance of finding a healthcare provider who actually listens.
The episode isn't just about their struggles; it's packed with practical advice on self-care, the benefits of supplements, and alternative therapies. They talk about how taking care of yourself can make you a positive role model, especially for kids. William and Mike remind us that mental and physical health are two sides of the same coin. Facing medical fears and seeking help is crucial for overall well-being.
If you need a candid conversation about the importance of self-care and tackling health issues head-on, this episode is a must-listen.
