In this podcast we explore the powerful link between mental health and physical well-being. Dr. Pleener will discuss how life's stressful events, big and small, can shape our mental state, affect our bodies, and alter our overall health. We'll talk about the science behind the brain-body connection and discuss what happens when stress goes unchecked, from anxiety and burnout to chronic illness. Join us as we discover strategies to manage stress, foster resilience, and take control of our mental and physical health for a more balanced life.
Dr. Andrew Pleener is a board-certified integrative psychiatrist and co-founder of the #SameHere and #STARR Alliances, both leading a global Mental Health movement in integrative mental health. Through #SameHere Global, he partners with prominent organizations including The American Institute of Stress to raise awareness about the physical impacts of life events on mental health and promote proactive measures for psychological resilience.
As Program Director of MUIH's S.T.A.R.R. Certification Program, Dr. Pleener oversees a comprehensive education initiative exploring the intersections of mental and physical health and the science behind self-help healing modalities.
