    Episode 44: Another Three Things with Charles Lankester

    We had a lovely time with Charles who interviewed us for his show on the Three Things, so we each came up with one thing and between the three of us made up the numbers! We talked about what is the one thing we learned so far from our time on this earth, James Bond movies, how to lose weight (and it has nothing to do with diet or exercise!), our best home-cooked dishes, telling a tiger mum the truth, swhat we would be doing if we were not doctors, and what to look forward to in 2022.

    Episode 42: Talking about Mental Health with Eric Kussin

    Today we took a deep dive (hence slightly longer) discussion with Eric Kussin, the founder of #SameHere Global Mental Health Movement. Eric talked about how he went from being a seemingly regular guy to being pumped with 50 different combinations of psychotropic medications and lying on his bed wasted. After two and a half years he saw an integrative psychiatrist and thus started his own journey to mental health recovery. - How do we stop the stigma of mental health by storytelling to normalise mental health - What're the pros and cons of "celebrity sharing" - We're all a little "crazy" - Adverse childhood events, trauma and life (and why Eric doesn't like the phrase "It's OK to be Not OK") - STARR exercises, Sudarshan Kriya breathing and the Art of Living, "mental" hygiene, and "prescribing" other modalities of healing for mental health  You can find Eric at SameHereGlobal and the podcast We're All a little Crazy

    Episode 38: Hacking quarantine, breath work and meditation with Dino Hira

    Today we have a reality TV star with us! Dino is a meditation teacher, hypnotherapist, Reiki master, author of A Miner Who Wins Inner Peace, founder of The Modern Yogi Co, and the “spiritual guru” in Married At First Sight Australia Season 6!  Dino just did his quarantine in Perth so we asked him what he did to prepare for it, and hacks for staying physically, mentally and emotionally well.  We were also curious to hear about his experience in MAFS and how he dealt with the drama.  We explored different kinds of breath work and the science behind it.  We discussed Past Life Regression and what it is useful for, and what conditions and people are suitable for it (warning - this is not medical advice, speak to your healthcare professional first).  He spoke about meditation and how it literally saved his life, and we all shared our personal meditative practices that works for us. You can find Dino on Instagram as Dino_Hira or on his website https://www.themodernyogi.co/
