Beyond the Stigma: Path to Men's Wellness
Kirti is joined by Ajay, a passionate advocate for productivity, neuroscience, and, importantly, men's mental health.
Ajay opens up about how meditation and a supportive environment have transformed his ability to manage anger and stress, referring to life-changing concepts from notable books like "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay and "Atomic Habit" by James Clear. He emphasises the importance of physical health as a cornerstone for mental stability, advocating for a diet rich in fish oil and minimal processed foods.
Throughout the episode, Ajay will share how societal norms and expectations often pressure men into silence about their emotional struggles and the dire consequences of this on their mental health. He highlights innovative practices like hypnotherapy and the benefits of theta brainwaves in fostering creativity and relaxation.
So tune in, as we explore these crucial topics with Ajay, offering both insights and practical advice on nurturing mental wellness and breaking the stigma surrounding men's mental health.
