How to overcome overthinking with Carly Taylor

Vaping is the new smoking - in more ways than one! Wisdom Wednesdays

You know that feeling when your mind just won’t let something go?

You go over it…
you talk about it…
you try to figure it out…

But instead of getting clarity, you just feel more stuck.

In this episode, Carly explores the concept of toraware from Japanese psychology — a state where your mind becomes caught in a loop of overthinking — and how this can quietly narrow your life.

She also unpacks co-rumination, and how group chats and even social media can keep you stuck on that same mental roundabout.

You’ll walk away with a simple, practical way to shift your attention and move forward — even when nothing feels resolved.

Carly is a counsellor and coach who specialises in building psychological hardiness — the ability to navigate challenge, stay engaged, and take action under pressure. Her work integrates modern psychology with Japanese approaches like Morita Therapy, focusing on helping people live meaningful lives without needing to control their thoughts or emotions.

Stuck On the Roundabout: Why Overthinking Keeps You Stuck and How to Get Moving Again

Most healthcare systems have underestimated the power of data—until now. Naval Roy reveals how he's building the world's largest, most sophisticated mental health and neurodegeneration database to revolutionise diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.   

In this episode, discover how decades of hidden healthcare data can be transformed into a cutting-edge infrastructure that accelerates breakthroughs in neuroscience. Nawal shares the story of acquiring a 20-year, half-a-million patient database from Duke University—an investment of over $70 million and years of relentless engineering. This data refinery is now shaping the future of personalised medicine, enabling real-world evidence, predictive analytics, and AI-driven interventions at scale.

The stakes are enormous: mental health and neurodegenerative diseases cost trillions, yet current approaches are hamstrung by outdated models rooted in philosophy and fragmented data architectures. Nawal emphasises the importance of moving beyond the 'sick care' paradigm to proactive healthspan extension and prevention—using data to predict, prevent, and personalise care long before symptoms appear.

Key Takeaways
Data-driven healthcare accelerates discovery by transforming entire sectors from opinion-based to evidence-based decision making.
The true value of healthcare data lies in its ability to inform early intervention and prevention, not just treatment.
Philosophical assumptions like Descartes’ mind-body dualism distort current biomedical models, enforcing unnecessary specialization and separation.
The complexity of mental health and neurodegenerative disorders requires cross-disciplinary, AI-enabled modelling of multifactorial data.
Building extensive, high-quality datasets is a multi-year, multi-million-dollar endeavour that demands patience, capital, and relentless focus on data curation.
Democratising access to large healthcare data accelerates research and innovation by empowering a broad base of scientists, clinicians, and entrepreneurs.
The biggest business opportunities in healthcare data are generated when multiple stakeholders—pharma, payers, governments—interact on shared, verified assets.
