Is there something wrong with you… or is there something wrong with the way we live?In this episode, I speak to performance coach and psychophysiologist Paul Taylor about how modern life (from ultra-processed food and poor sleep to constant screens and chronic stress) creates the perfect storm for anxiety, depression, burnout and ADHD-like symptoms. We dig into why so much of “mental illness” sits on a spectrum, how lifestyle can mimic or magnify these conditions, and why over-pathologising normal emotions can sometimes make things worse.Paul also breaks down Hardiness, his idea of Resilience 2.0: a practical framework built on control, challenge, commitment and connection. If you feel overwhelmed, stuck or like you’re not coping with the pace of life, this conversation will give you a new way to think about mental health with some simple, science-backed ways to start rebuilding your capacity in a world that isn’t exactly designed for humans.Timestamps: (00:00) Introduction&nbsp;(01:06) Meet Dr. Paul Taylor(03:16) Understanding Hardiness vs. Resilience(08:26) The Impact of Modern Life on Mental Health(17:19) The Role of Lifestyle in Mental Health(29:42) The Consequences of Poor Sleep and Diet(36:28) Defining True Recovery(37:24) The Connection Between Mental & Physical Health(37:59) Socioeconomic Disparities in Health(42:04) The Impact of Gambling & Government Inaction(44:14) The Influence of Big Food(51:45) Understanding Hardiness & Stoicism(59:59) The Four C's of Resilience(01:03:44) Final Thoughts & Closing QuestionsAccess FREE Move Your Mind training here:<a href="https://go.moveyourmind.io/training" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://go.moveyourmind.io/training</a>Connect with Nick:Instagram:<a href="https://instagram.com/nickbracks" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://instagram.com/nickbracks</a>Website: <a href="http://nickbracks.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://nickbracks.com</a>Email: contact@nickbracks.comConnect with Paul:Website: <a href="https://www.paultaylor.biz/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.paultaylor.biz/</a><hr> Hosted on Acast.
