Professor Grant Schofield joins Jimi to get right to the heart of how to achieve great mental fitness.
As an expert in human potential, Grant’s views on the current state of the health system and, in particular, the mental health system offer some food for thought in both a figurative and literal sense.
Grant believes that we have historically overlooked some crucial evidence to how a person can maintain peak mental fitness - including food and lifestyle factors that can benefit our bodies in both a physical and psychological way, more than pharmaceuticals or talk therapy ever can.
Questioning the long-held belief that serotonin is solely responsible for mood disorders, Grant introduces us to his research around certain neurotransmitters and other contributing factors and the impact that they have on us in both a physiological and physiological sense. Outlining some fascinating evidence, Grant reveals that we don’t need to rely on prescription medications to reach a state of great mental fitness but by understanding the role that stress, inflammation of the body and brain, poor sleep and poor diet have on our overall wellness highlights where we should be actually be focusing our attention.
Both Jimi and Grant agree that the days for talking about and bringing awareness to mental health are gone. Now is the time to start taking action and in this episode, they may have just come up with the solution…perhaps even creating an entirely new profession within the health system.
