Health Matters The Real Network

Childhood is supposed to be a happy, carefree time in our lives - but these days there are so many kids and teenagers who are struggling with anxiety, depression and other related mental health issues. To unpack this, we're joined again on Health Matters by our mental health expert Jeanie Cavé, a clinical psychologist who works with individuals, couples, families, groups, children and adolescents.

For over two years now, everyone has been talking about the ‘new normal’, but what happens when we return to the ‘old normal’? Many of us are already starting to do this so we decided to speak to our mental health expert Jeanie Cavé, a clinical psychologist, to help us navigate this.

How do we keep our brain healthy and functioning at an optimal level?

This week on Health Matters we're speaking to Timothy Maurice Webster. Timothy is a bestselling author of 4 human and brand behaviour books, and host of The Brain and Brand Show podcast for the past 6 years, which is ranked in the top 20 in 17 countries.

His skills include applying neuroscience and behavioural science to decision making, and in this episode we talk about increasing brain resilience and creative problem solving.

The Absa Cape Epic is an eight-day stage race, and it's the most televised mountain bike race in the world.

The race must be completed by both members of a two-person team, with only 680 teams allowed to ride each year. Every event follows a different route, leading aspiring amateur and professional mountain bikers from around the world through roughly 700 untamed kilometres of unspoilt scenery, and up more than 17,000 metres of vertical ascent.

This year's event is coming up on the 20th of March and on this edition of Health Matters, we speak to Candice Lill - who has completed 4 previous Cape Epic races, as well as Matt Beers - who has 5 events under his belt, winning the 2021 edition along with his partner.

It’s in the news, it’s all over our social media, and nowadays when people ask “how are you?” - it’s not just a formality anymore! Our mental health is being tested in these strange and difficult times, and the fact is life is pretty challenging for many of us at the moment. In this episode, we're joined by Jeanie Cavé, a clinical psychologist who works with individuals, couples, families, groups, children and adolescents - as she guides us through managing our mental health during volatile and uncertain times.

What does ‘health’ mean to you in 2022? We know that there are hundreds of trends anywhere you look - the latest diet, exercise routine, or even a new gadget that you must have to track what your body is up to. But sometimes it helps to just take a step back, and get a fresh perspective. This time on Health Matters, Ryan O’Connor is joined by Johno Meintjes, who runs the popular online health and fitness community, JEFF, as well as Siv Ngesi – a comedian, television presenter, actor... and if you're on social media, you'll definitely know him well from his outspoken opinions on many topics!
