What if happiness isn't something you find, but something you can learn?

In this episode, Dr Ron Ehrlich speaks with happiness researcher and positive psychologist 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗘𝗱𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀, known as “That Happiness Guy”, about why we often chase happiness through success, achievements and external milestones - and why that approach can leave us stuck on the “happiness trap”.

Happiness Is a Skill: The 5 Skills to Create It | Declan Edwards

In this episode of Unstress Health, Dr Ron Ehrlich and Dr Marty Ross explore a different way of thinking about mental health.

Rather than looking only at psychiatric symptoms, they discuss how chronic infections, inflammation, mold toxicity, gut microbiome disruption and metabolic dysfunction may intersect with conditions such as depression and anxiety.

Dr Ross shares observations from his clinical experience treating people with chronic Lyme disease and related conditions, including the possible role of neuroinflammation, cytokines, the blood-brain barrier, tryptophan, serotonin, mitochondria and the limbic system.

They also discuss Long COVID, tick-borne infections such as Borrelia, Bartonella and Babesia, challenges around testing in Australia, and why listening carefully to a patient's history can be such an important part of healthcare.

He graduated from Indiana University School of Medicine and completed his family medicine residency at Georgetown University.

Can Infections Cause Depression, Anxiety & Brain Fog? | Dr Marty Ross 

How do we raise healthy, resilient children in an age dominated by smartphones, social media and artificial intelligence?

In this thought-provoking conversation, Dr Ron Ehrlich is joined by Dr Sajita Setia, a physician, researcher and advocate for digital wellbeing. Together they explore the growing evidence linking excessive screen use with poor sleep, anxiety, depression, attention problems and declining family connection.

Rather than advocating fear or blanket bans, Dr Setia encourages parents, educators and policymakers to prioritise education, compassionate conversations and healthy digital boundaries. She explains how simple lifestyle changes - such as removing devices from bedrooms, modelling healthy behaviour and spending intentional screen-free family time - can dramatically improve children's wellbeing.

The discussion also explores AI, social media algorithms, gender differences in technology use, school responsibilities and practical steps every family can implement immediately.

◉ 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐆𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭:   

Dr Sajita Setia is a physician with more than 20 years of medical experience and a researcher specialising in 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴❟ 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵.

Based in New Zealand, she works at the intersection of medicine, implementation science and education, helping families understand the health impacts of digital technology while developing healthier relationships with screens.

Her work includes:
Digital wellbeing research
Parent coaching
School wellbeing programmes
Workshops for educators and families
Training educational organisations
Research collaborations with universities and schools in New Zealand, India and the United States

◉ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲

✔️ Why digital wellbeing deserves the same attention as physical health

✔️ How excessive screen time affects children's sleep and behaviour

✔️ The relationship between social media and anxiety, depression and self-harm

✔️ Why educating children works better than simply banning devices

✔️ How AI is changing children's critical thinking and emotional development

✔️ The importance of modelling healthy digital habits as parents

✔️ Practical ways to improve family connection in a digital world

✔️ Why keeping devices out of bedrooms can improve sleep and wellbeing

✔️ The differences between boys' and girls' technology use

✔️ How schools and governments can better support families navigating technology challenges
