Today I sit down with Martijn Arns, a biological psychologist at the forefront of applied neuroscience, to discuss the advancements and challenges in psychiatry. We delve into his pioneering research on brain biomarkers, the promising applications of brain stimulation techniques like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and how lifestyle factors may influence conditions such as ADHD. Martijn also shares cutting-edge insights into the role of heart-brain coupling and the potential impact of psychedelics in mental health treatment, offering a glimpse into the future of personalised and stratified psychiatry.
What You'll Learn:
Understanding Biological vs. Clinical Psychology: Martijn explains the focus of biological psychology in studying brain activity rather than engaging in traditional talk therapy. The Role of Biomarkers in Psychiatry: Discover the challenges of seeking biological signatures for psychiatric conditions. Understand why a biomarker-driven psychiatry might be theoretically impossible due to clinical impairment and situational variables. Innovations in Brain Stimulation: Explore the mechanisms and applications of TMS for treating depression and other psychiatric disorders. Learn about the groundbreaking use of heart rate to optimise TMS targeting, enhancing treatment effectiveness. Lifestyle Factors and ADHD: Understand the significant role sleep and sunlight exposure play in ADHD symptoms.

In this week's Mojo Monday, Carly Taylor discusses key principles of the Japanese therapeutic approach called Morita Therapy to help manage difficult emotions. She emphasises the importance of shifting away from trying to control emotions and thoughts through sheer will, introducing concepts like 'Toraware' (mental preoccupation) and 'Arugmama' (allowing oneself to feel without judgment). By depicting how over-focusing on negative feelings amplifies suffering and how 'acceptance' and purposeful action can lead to emotional freedom, Carly offers valuable strategies for integrating these therapeutic principles into daily life, ultimately helping listeners flow like a river around their emotional obstacles.

In this enlightening podcast episode, I sit down with Natalie Kovarik a cattle rancher, to discuss the realities of cattle ranching versus its portrayal in popular media like 'Yellowstone'. Natalie shares her unique journey from Montana to Nebraska, illustrating the challenges and advancements in agriculture over the decades. They delve into her collaboration with dairy farmer Tara Vander Dussen on their podcast 'Discover Ag', which aims to bridge the gap between consumers and the origins of their food. Key topics include the impact of climate and market pricing on farming, the pros and cons of grass-fed versus grain-fed beef, misconceptions about methane production, and the often misleading nature of food labels. This episode offers a comprehensive look at modern agriculture, sustainability practices, and the importance of transparent, informed food production.
What You'll Learn:
Reality vs. Media: Understand how popular media can mislead public perceptions of farming and agriculture. Building Connections: Discover how Natalie and Tara use social media and their podcast to connect consumers directly with the farming world. Agricultural Realities: Learn about the technological advances and persistent challenges such as market pricing that impact modern farming. Debunking Myths: Gain insights into common misconceptions about "factory farming" and the scale of agricultural operations. Environmental Impact: Explore the nuanced discussion on agriculture's environmental role, particularly around methane production and sustainable practices.Key Takeaways:
Media depictions often do not fully reflect the complexities of agriculture; Natalie provides an authentic look into farming life. Social media and platforms like Discover Ag foster direct consumer connections, opening dialogue about agriculture's realities. Challenges in farming extend beyond operations—the unpredictable nature and market factors are significant hurdles. Large-scale farming isn't inherently negative; many larger operations incorporate advanced sustainable practices. Educating consumers on agricultural processes fosters a more sustainable and understanding food system.Resources:

In this edition of Wisdom Wednesdays, the focus is on the incredible malleability of the human heart, inspired by my personal experience with open-heart surgery. The episode delves into historic and revolutionary studies, starting with the 1966 Dallas Bedrest Study, which showcased the drastic effects of inactivity on cardiovascular health.
It then explores follow-up studies that demonstrated how structured exercise programs can not only reverse cardiac damage but also make the heart more efficient and youthful, even in middle-aged individuals.
I explore the importance of consistent, smart exercise, combining moderate aerobic activity and high-intensity intervals, to maintain a healthy heart into older age. The show concludes with a powerful reminder of the human body's need for physical activity, supported by an impactful quote from Professor Frank Booth.
