Shownotes

Grief doesn’t always arrive as tears. Sometimes it shows up as “do mode”, shock, and a nervous system that never quite believes life is safe again. Alice Hanna shares the extraordinary story of her adventurous mother, her mother’s chronic pain and mental health decline, and the suicide that changed Alice’s brain, relationships and sense of security. Together, Alice and Toni explore anxiety, PTSD, catastrophic thinking, guilt, young caring, and the slow work of letting people back in. This is a tender, practical episode for anyone living with anxiety, loving someone through mental illness, or carrying complicated grief.

• Young carers and caregiver burnout
• Chronic pain, disability and mental health
• Shock, “do mode” and nervous system trauma
• Anxiety, PTSD and catastrophic thinking

SHOWNOTES:

Lifestyle medicine is the prescription most of us aren’t getting. Toni speaks with Roni Beauchamp, CEO of the Australasian Society of Lifestyle Medicine, about the real foundations of health: sleep, movement, food, social connection, behaviour change and prevention. Why aren’t doctors trained in lifestyle or nutrition? Why do we wait until we’re sick? And how do we build a life and health span that keeps us thriving, not just surviving? Roni’s story will change how you think about health, medication, happiness and prevention.

Topics
Lifestyle medicine and prevention, wellbeing and mental health, the gut–brain connection, sleep, chronic illness and health span, movement and nutrition, avoiding harmful substances, social support, small behaviour changes, the problem with “sickness systems,” pharmaceuticals vs lifestyle.
