About Episode

Ideas on the mind-body connection are as old as time. And while we know a lot more today about the mechanics of it than our ancestors, we’ve only really begun to scratch the surface of understanding the relationship between this gelatinous mass between our ears and the rest of our bodies.

We remain a mystery to ourselves and still, we’re running around drinking enormous amounts of coffee to stay awake and alcohol to calm down. Eating more processed foods than ever before and so connected (yet ironically isolated) that experts from the World Health Organization are already talking of a looming psychological (silent) pandemic.

In this episode, I briefly explore the role physical exercise plays in building a healthy body and mind as well as some tips for how to bounce back after injury.

Guest

Kenneth Duge is a physician associate with a decade of experience in the medical field working across the United States. Originally hailing from Buffalo, he now resides in Maine, where he continues to practice medicine. Kenny is passionate about primary care and has a holistic approach to health (diet, exercise, etc.). He is also very interested in lifestyle and workplace changes that can help reduce burnout and which foster an overall better quality of care; firstly as a care provider and then how that translates into better patient care. Kenny and I actually studied psychology together during undergrad and have been friends ever since.
