‘Men Talk Mental Health’ is a podcast co-hosted by two friends, Ayush (Los Angeles) & Venance (Mumbai).
After a turbulent phase in Ayush’s marriage, he began his mental health journey & has not looked back since. And after dealing with gut health issues, among other things which triggered mental health challenges, Venance decided to seek help & began his path to mental wellbeing.
Because of a lack of resources for men’s mental health, they felt sharing their stories & discoveries would not only help men but all people who have experienced universal mental health concerns.
