• What is Integrative Nutrition and Does it Work?

Mental health is a component of your overall mental health. In order to focus on improving your mental health, it’s important to look at your physical health including your nutrition. I sat down with Jane K Dye, RN who is a Holistic Health and Wellness Coach, to discuss the idea of integrative nutrition and its impact on our physical and mental health.

In this video, Jane and I discuss:

• What integrative nutrition is and the holistic approach of addressing our health.
• The impact that every area of our life—including things like career, relationships, and spirituality—can have on our health and wellness along with its impact on what we eat.
• How integrative nutrition helps prevent disease, achieve goals and supports an overal healthier lifestyle
• The fact that we each have unique food and lifestyle needs
• That nutrition should be about what you get to have and not what you don’t get to have (the approach that many diets take).
• Where cravings come from and what they are trying to tell you
• The concept of “food freedom” and how you should have a wonderful experience eating
• Importance of having awareness around what you do when you eat

Jane shares that nutrition should be easy, fun, and sustainable. She also shares the ONE THING you should be focused on to start living healthier this year.

Self-care hacks in the workplace. This has been a stressful year which may have left you looking for tips on burnout, stress, anxiety, emotional wellness, and overall how to take care of your mental health. When I deliver presentations for workplace mental health, HR leaders are usually interested in learning simple tips to give employees to support their mental health. Here are a few of the Self Care Hacks for Workplace Mental Health that I share.

1. Encourage employees to talk about mental health. This doesn’t matter unless it comes from the top down. Leadership needs to start talking about their own mental health challenges to show employees that they can comfortably share without having to worry about negative repercussions.
2. Encourage work-life balance. Call it out when you see people struggling with balance. This is an area that everyone struggles. When you notice that someone is out of balance, ask them about it and encourage them to do the same for you.
3. Share free resources with employees. Use the link below to get a list of free resources you can share with your employees or coworkers.

Creating a self-care plan that you can use at work can help you keep self-care top of mind. And when you work on addressing your own self-care, it can encourage others to do the same.

If that support isn’t enough, I deliver Transforming sTigma in the Workplace and How to Find Peace in Times of Uncertainty to learn more about my presentations.

Youth mental health has become an increasingly popular focus for society over the past two decades. Youth mental health in the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed this topic to a whole new level. Mental health issues in youth are increasing at an alarming rate. The two most common issues are youth depression and youth anxiety.

NBC News affiliate WJFW interviewed Mike Veny to gain a better understanding of what’s really going on.

Both depression in children and anxiety in children are subjects that Mike Veny understands well. As a child, he struggled with both. Nowadays, he’s a school motivational speaker who is on a mission to support people in receiving the gift of emotional wellness. He delivers high school mental health presentations live and virtually.

In this video, Mike says that journaling and doing a “brain dump” are good mental health activities for youth. Another thing that Mike recommends, which is not in this video is investing in youth mental health first aid.

Teen mental health issues are at an all time high right now so it’s critical that we get them the help they need in order to prevent teen suicide. This is why school mental health needs to become a top priority right now. Establishing and maintaining a solid school mental health program is necessary in order to give youth the support they need right now.

Ultimately, teen suicide prevention is not just a schools responsibility. It’s everyone’s responsibility. It’s important that all youth have mentally healthy adults in their lives. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, adults have been struggling with their own mental health and this is taking a toll on youth.

In his work as youth motivational speaker, Mike Veny is committed to helping children and teenagers navigate this uncertain time. He truly believes that if we are intentional about working together, we can through this difficult time and be mentally well.

Setting boundaries in the workplace includes clarifying expectations. Years ago, one of Mike’s friends taught him that “clearing up expectations on the front end avoids problems on the back end.”. He took this to heart and became intentional about constantly clarifying expectations with coworkers.

Learning how to say no at work is another aspect of setting boundaries. And yes, it’s possible to learn how to say no at work without feeling guilty.

Speaking of feeling guilty, we sometimes feel guilty by simply thinking about the idea of professional boundaries in the workplace.
