Listen: Kids, food, social media and other life pressures

Sep 16, 2024 | 5:13 AM

A topic finally being well-researched is how nutrition affects mental, physical, and emotional well-being. To help us dig into this a little deeper physician, Dr. Kelly Barnett talks about food and kids.

We hear it, we know it, but what are we doing about social media being bad for overall well-being? According to Yale Medicine, a research study of American teens ages 12-15 who use social media over three hours a day faced twice the risk of having negative mental health outcomes. Titania Jordan, Chief Parenting Officer of Bark Technologies, chimes in on the topic.

Just listening to music activates more brain regions simultaneously than any other human activity. Can music heal? Research supports the idea, and tests are proving the positive impact music can have on us.

The BMW of mental well-being is the Bitch, Moan, and Whine concept from Life Unlimited Stephanie Staples – our nurse turned motivational speaker. How letting things out can make a world of difference.

Life hasn’t been easy for Tyron Harkis Foster. The founder and managing director of Between Friends in Vancouver speaks to intergenerational trauma.
