The Mind-Body Connection is so strong.
In the midst of a world pandemic and a lot of burnout, Ashley and Kimberly discuss physical and mental health and how interconnected they are. When we're mentally tired, we don't have the same motivation to get physically fit. Similarly, when we are not feeling physically optimal, our mental health suffers. Recent research has found a true gut-brain axis. What happens in our gut directly effects our brain!
Ashley talks about the science behind this axis and what you can do to improve your gut-brain health while Kimberly speaks to the importance of honoring your health in the workplace with a day off.
Tip: READ YOUR COMPANY HANDBOOK. Often mental health benefits are offered, but go unspoken.
