In this episode I chat with Dr. Stephanie Rimka who shares her extensive knowledge on mental health, emphasising the importance of understanding the brain's role in mental wellness. She discusses her journey from traditional medicine to functional approaches, highlighting the significance of nutrition, particularly zinc, in brain function. Dr. Rimka explores the impact of modern diets, technology, and chronic stress on mental health, advocating for neurofeedback as a powerful tool for treatment. She also emphasises the need for a holistic approach that includes play, movement, and proper nutrition to rebalance the nervous system and promote overall well-being.

Key Takeaways:
Mental health issues are fundamentally brain issues.
Zinc deficiency is prevalent and can significantly affect behaviour.
Neurofeedback can be a powerful tool for mental health treatment.
The modern diet often lacks essential nutrients for brain health.
Understanding the interplay of zinc and copper is crucial for mental wellness.
Anxiety can often be misdiagnosed and is linked to biological factors.
Chronic stress leads to dysregulation of the nervous system.
Relaxation is not the same as recovery; true recovery requires active engagement.
The impact of technology and media on mental health is profound.
Nutrition, particularly animal-based foods, is vital for brain health.
