    How Hormones Affect Mental Health with Dr. Nikita Kyla Talens

    Kapag lagi kang pagod, mainitin ang ulo, hindi makatulog, o parang ang bigat-bigat ng pakiramdam... ang default na sagot natin? "Stress lang 'yan." Tapos tuloy lang sa buhay. 😒 Pero habang kausap ni Kai si Dr. Nikita Kyla Talens, an internationally trained Functional Medicine Physician, Aesthetic Dermatologist, at Self-Love Coach, mapapaisip ka rin. Paano kung hindi lang pala deadlines, traffic, o toxic na tao ang problema? Paano kung may ginagawa na rin pala ang hormones, lifestyle, at paraan natin ng pag-handle ng stress sa isip at katawan natin? Pinag-usapan nila kung bakit hindi sapat na symptoms lang ang tinitingnan, kung bakit mahalagang hanapin ang root cause, at kung paano magkakakonekta ang hormones, katawan, emosyon, at mental health. Hindi ito usapang "manifest lang" o "think positive." Practical, science-backed, at mapapaisip ka kung ano ba talaga ang sinusubukang sabihin ng katawan mo. Available na ang episode!

    How Losing Connection to Yourself Can Affect Your Mental Health with Koi Grey

    Paano kung ang pakiramdam na "parang hindi na ako 'to" isn't the end of your journey... kundi simula pa lang? After becoming the guest behind the most-downloaded episode ng Mental Health Ka Diyan, bumalik ulit si Koi Grey for the round two! Bilang Trail Ambassador ng Spartan PH, Trail Mentor ng Garmin PH, at Adventure Athlete ng Cordillera Conservation Trust, dala ni Koi ang mga insights na hinubog hindi lang ng libro, kundi ng mga mahabang biyahe, at mga real experiences sa pag-explore sa bundok. Sa episode na ito, pinag-uusapan nila ang isang tanong na halos lahat yata dumadaan pero bihirang napag-uusapan nang ganito: Ano ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng "losing yourself?" Totoo bang nawawala tayo, o baka nagbabago lang? Bakit parang iba-iba ang version natin sa trabaho, sa bahay, at sa relationships? At paano mo malalaman kung kailangan mo lang magpahinga... o kailangan mo nang mag-update ng sarili mong "operating system"? Isa itong usapan na hindi lang tungkol sa mental health. We'll also explore how identity, intuition, movement, and nature shape the way we think, make decisions, and navigate everyday life. Listen now on the Mental Health Ka Diyan Podcast, now streaming on Spotify at YouTube. Episode Timeline: 03:23 – Why Knowing Yourself Matters 05:24 – How Identity Is Formed 07:44 – Habits Shape Identity 10:21 – What Is Your True Self? 11:49 – The Observer Within 15:54 – Have You Lost Yourself? 17:16 – Every Experience Teaches Something 20:06 – Why Identity Needs Updating 21:37 – Ignoring Your Inner Calling 24:00 – Signs You're Misaligned 25:15 – Everything Starts With Energy 27:35 – Emotions Or Thoughts First? 32:39 – Health Is A Triad 36:26 – What Is Intuition? 40:09 – How To Know Yourself 43:43 – Why Nature Helps Heal 45:09 – Just Be No One 48:15 – Who Are You Alone? 50:01 – Why We Need Multiple Identities 57:30 – The Cordillera Odyssey 1:03:24 – Building Mental Resilience 1:06:19 – Nature Grounds The Mind 1:08:26 – Movement Heals The Body 1:13:19 – Start Moving Today 1:14:38 – Intention Creates Identity 1:15:33 – Final Thoughts Disclaimer: The views and opinions shared in this podcast are for educational and informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

    How to Get Unstuck In A Situation That You Are Not Happy With John Boja

    You already know what you want. So why does taking the first step still feel so hard? More often than not, it's not because you lack the ability or motivation. Minsan, nauunahan lang tayo ng boses sa isip natin. The overthinking. The self-doubt. The inner critic that keeps telling us to play it safe, wait for the perfect timing, or convinces us that we're not ready yet. In this episode, Kai sits down with John Boja, a Certified NLP Master Practitioner, EFT Practitioner, Executive Coach for high-tech companies in California like HP, Yahoo, Apple, and Seagate, and Trainer, para pag-usapan kung bakit ba tayo minsan nauunahan ng sariling isip natin. Together, they explore the purpose of our inner critic, why trying to get rid of it isn't always the answer, and how it can quietly influence the decisions we make every day. They also share practical mindset tools and techniques to help you recognize the thought patterns keeping you stuck, build resilience against rejection and self-doubt, ask yourself better questions, and learn how to move forward even when fear is still present. Take this as your sign to start understanding the thoughts that may be holding you back.

    Paano ka magiging safe space para sa isang tao nang hindi mo rin isinasakripisyo ang sarili mo? Kapag may mahal kang taong dumadaan sa mental health struggles, minsan hindi mo alam kung ano talaga ang tamang gawin. Kakausapin mo ba? Bibigyan ng space? O hihintayin mo na lang siyang lumapit?

    Friendship Beyond Mental Health Diagnoses

    We're all trying to be more mindful about mental health, but what if your good intentions still come across the wrong way? This episode tackles that tension head-on. Kai is joined by returning guests Kresta Nadine and Mariane Alba for a candid conversation about navigating adult friendships during bad brain days. Together, they unpack what happens when a friend suddenly goes quiet, disappears from the group chat, or doesn't have the energy to show up the way they normally would. They talk about learning not to take silence personally, supporting someone without treating them like a problem to solve, and finding the balance between checking in and giving space. The conversation also explores how ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and everyday emotional struggles can affect friendships, why emotional maturity matters, and how understanding your friends can sometimes be more important than having the right words. Tune in for an honest conversation about friendship, mental health, and showing up for each other when life gets heavy. Episode Timeline: 03:17 - Living with Anxiety Disorder 07:13 - Friendship Beyond Daily Chats 09:10 - What Bad Brain Days Feel Like 12:19 - Don't Take It Personally 17:42 - Understanding Bipolar Cycles 19:29 - Manic Spending and Hyperfixations 23:00 - Why Support Systems Matter 26:14 - Helping Without Judgment 29:11 - Support Without Walking on Eggshells 30:07 - Better Ways to Check In 33:44 - Questions That Actually Help 37:27 - Processing Emotions First 39:32 - Emotional Intelligence in Friendship 42:32 - Outgrowing Friendships Gracefully 45:40 - Giving Space While Staying Present 49:35 - Wellness Checks That Matter 53:30 - Don't Walk on Eggshells 55:25 - Learning to Sit With Yourself 58:47 - Accountability and Self-Support 59:54 - Working With Your Cycles Disclaimer: The views and opinions shared in this podcast are for educational and informational purposes only and are not a substitute for professional advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
