Dr. Ruth never did—until she started struggling with focus, memory loss, and emotional ups and downs. What seemed like normal stress or aging turned out to be something far deeper: undiagnosed brain trauma.


At 21, Dr. Ruth had what seemed like a minor accident. She fell off her bike without a helmet, hit her head, and brushed it off. Over time, she experienced more falls, sports injuries, and even car accidents—never realizing that each one could be damaging her brain in ways she couldn't see. Years later, she began experiencing brain fog, cognitive decline, and mood swings, and she knew something wasn’t right.


Your brain is your most valuable asset—learning how to protect and improve it can change your life. Don’t ignore the signs of cognitive decline. Watch now to discover how you can take control of your brain health!

Discussed in this episode:

00:00 Show Intro

00:00 Guest Introduction

00:04:19 What are you passionate about in life right now?

00:06:49 Could you take me back to the time when you found the strength to speak your truth?

00:09:48 Did you feel ready to manage the consequence of telling the truth?

00:10:37 Could you just share your story that made it onto the front page of the newspapers, the BBC and beyond?

00:15:30 What do you remember really shifted in you as 10 year old Andy, what were the shifts in your behaviour to help parents and carers out there recognise the signs?

00:18:31 If you were to given a way out, what would have helped you escape that prison you were in?

00:22:19 If you could take us on the journey when you lifted the lid on the paedophile pot?

00:25:28 Bringing awareness to children when an adult's behaviour is not ok and giving them a way out to safety

00:29:26 Could you explain what you uncovered in the layers of the organisation when you exposed the truth of the paedophile coach?

00:41:48 The impact of experiencing trauma as a child

00:47:24 The struggle with being able to talk about your experience

00:51:20 The challenges with mental health - seeking to create order out of disorder

00:53:44 Greed, ego and empathy

00:55:02 Knowing what you know now, what is optimal brain health for you personally in the context of your life's journey?

00:56:42 The hardest thing

01:05:20 What advice would you give anyone who has been through child abuse and is really scared of speaking their truth and the consequences that come from it?

01:11:33 Protecting the children of the future and protecting the children of the past unchaining their pain

Dr. Marvin Berman is the founder and President of the Quietmind Foundation, a nonprofit research and consultation organisation developing non-drug noninvasive treatment models to improve the public health and educational systems


He is now a co-founder of Neuronic Devices Ltd, a light therapy device company based in Germany and Ireland that is advancing the field of photobiomodulation or transcranial light therapy. He has been a practicing therapist and consultant for the past 35 years and is a leading figure in the new field of digital neurotherapeutics


In this episode Dr Berman talks about the importance of the mind-body connection, he discusses why it's so important to get a qEEG scan if you are concerned about brain trauma from contact sport or another injury. He shares how photobiomodulation works with neurofeedback and talks about some astonishing results achieved using these modalities together to enhance cognitive performance and reduce cognitive decline


I loved this episode, as Neuronic is at the cutting edge of alternative approaches to enhance cognitive performance and reverse cognitive decline. A technology that is so needed in today's society, where we are predicted to experience a three fold increase in Alzheimer's disease by 2050, with the current healthcare system unable to cope. The future is prevention and developing alternative business models and systems to enhancing the cognitive health of the population and this technology is one that is pioneering the way

In this episode we talk about her journey to becoming a midwife. She discusses the importance of ensuring autonomy of the midwife so they can work with the mothers on their journey through pregnancy and into motherhood. She also shares how she overcame imposter syndrome and negative self talk to support women in overcoming their birthing trauma and breastfeeding challenges


We discuss the importance of setting up the right environment for a mother to give birth, as well as the right environment for your baby to grow. Alison discusses how birthing trauma and medical intervention that the mother doesn't expect can have a dramatic impact on their ability to breast feed, and how she supports her clients with Havening to release their birthing trauma and reconnect with their body


I share my personal birthing experience as well as my miscarriage, and we discuss the importance of spiritual connection between parent and child in utero as well as after birth


Alison goes on to discuss the importance of addressing any of your unmet needs as a child to avoid this being translated into adulthood and parenthood and offers her advice to any parent who is concerned that their child or themselves is struggling with birthing trauma


I loved this episode, as having experienced a miscarriage myself, as well as a traumatic birthing experience, I think it's so important that we acknowledge the journey that the mother's, fathers and babies go on as they grow in this world, as well as the spirit messages that babies share with us when they leave this world

]]> Factors contributing to long Covid and how to reverse it with Dr Leo Galland Factors contributing to long Covid and how to reverse it with Dr Leo Galland Mon, 09 Oct 2023 10:00:07 GMT 47:33 651c7dbd8cacd5001142f3e6 false https://www.ruthmaryallan.com/blog/factors-contributing-to-long-covid-and-how-to-reverse-it-with-dr-leo-galland 651c7dbd8cacd5001142f3e6 647628cf9aab2f00111a51bd factors-contributing-to-long-covid-and-how-to-reverse-it Dr Leo Galland, MD rejoins Dr Ruth Allan to discuss the latest research on factors contributing to long COVID and how to reverse it full 5 84 Dr Leo Galland, MD rejoins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 084 of her show 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and fourth episode in series 5. Dr Galland has spent the past 40 years treating patients with complex, chronic illness.


He has developed innovative approaches to evaluation and treatment, that helped to create the foundation for functional medicine. His latest focus has been on the reversal of long covid.


In this episode we talk about how to prevent long covid and reverse any complications that may arise should you experience long covid - and ultimately how to recover from it. 


Dr Galland discusses what happens when we get long covid, how the virus enters the body, the cells and organs that it attacks and how, and the subsequent symptoms that arise - focusing on the key factors in the web of long covid.


Dr Galland talks about the impact long covid has on the blood vessels and blood flow, resulting in disturbances in blood flow, even in young people. He explains the impact it has on mast cell activation, triggering an inflammatory immune system response.


He then goes into detail as to what you can do about it personally if you are experiencing any of these symptoms associated with long covid, including those experienced by children.


I found this episode absolutely fascinating as there is so much we can personally do to reverse and recover from long covid. I personally found Dr Galland's information he shares on covid and long covid invaluable in my own personal journey of recovery, having had covid twice (that I am aware of).


In Dr Galland's view, the biggest problem with Covid and long Covid is the lack of communication around what is going on in your body and what action you can take to help your recovery. I hope that this episode goes some way to enhance the communication necessary to the general public to aid your recovery or that of those you care about to restore health, wealth and vitality.

Every 15 minutes someone dies by suicide in the United States, every 40 seconds worldwide, with suicide attempts being even more frequent, and every 16 minutes someone is left behind, asking ‘why?’


Why are so many people losing faith in life at a time when more of us are doing better than ever before? It’s a question most of us would rather continue to avoid


Following in the footsteps of the last decades’ successful international initiatives regarding cancer and HIV/AIDS, our main aim is to encourage an up to date discussion about the worldwide phenomenon of increasing suicide – not just on the margins, but at the center of society, where it belongs


Because as soon as we start to talk about things openly, we’ll find better solutions than what we’ve had so far


A Chance for Happiness Foundation has been a member of World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) since 2018 and has organised annual charity events benefitting Mental Health in Velden am Wörthersee, Austria 2017, Vienna, Austria 2018, Paris, France 2019, Monaco 2020 and – following the global C-virus outbreak – at Laxenburg Castle near Vienna, Austria 2022.


Harald Walter Azmann is co-founder of A Chance for Happiness Foundation after his daughter Lisa died by suicide and the catalyst behind this inspiring initiative


Dr Ruth Allan is supporting this initiative as in November 2016 she hit rock bottom when she had suicidal thoughts after being told by her employer she had no emotional intelligence, shortly after having a miscarriage


Her grandfather died by suicide when her mother was only six years old, and so this deep low ignited her to take action to optimise her brain health to live a healthier, happier life, which led her to having her daughter Lilly in 2018


Industry leaders, family leaders and entrepreneurs now hire her to live a healthier, happier life by unchaining their pain from past trauma, unlocking the secrets to greater mental clarity and performance and unleashing their full potential by optimising their unique brain


Everyone deserves a chance for happiness

]]> The importance of nitric oxide in cardiovascular and cognitive health The importance of nitric oxide in cardiovascular and cognitive health Mon, 25 Sep 2023 10:00:37 GMT 56:23 650c607f9184440012796763 false https://www.ruthmaryallan.com/blog/the-importance-of-nitric-oxide-in-cardiovascular-and-cognitive-health 650c607f9184440012796763 647628cf9aab2f00111a51bd the-importance-of-nitric-oxide-in-cognitive-health full 5 82 Dr Nathan S Bryan joins Dr Ruth Allan on Episode 082 of her show 'Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and second episode in series 5. Dr. Bryan is an international expert in nitric biochemistry and molecular medicine.  His more than 20 years in academic research led to many seminal discoveries, and has resulted in dozens of issued U.S. and International patents


Products from his innovations are the most successful nitric oxide products in the market and responsible for hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue around the globe and have improved patient care for more than a decade


In this episode Dr Bryan talks about why nitric oxide is so important for our cardiovascular and cognitive health, and the role it plays, with our brain being one of the main organs impacted by nitric oxide production.


He talks about how nitric oxide is created and what insults we are imposing on our body to reduce our natural ability to generate it


Dr Bryan discusses the effect of nitric oxide on COVID, and why it's so important to prevent infection and reduce the ability of the spike protein to attack your cells. He also discusses what improvements have been observed when restoring nitric oxide production, from improvements in blood pressure, exercise performance, sexual function, brain health and cognition as well as regression of cardiovascular disease and reversing heart disease


I loved this episode as nitric oxide is such a fundamentally important redox signalling molecule that requires much greater attention to empower people to enhance and optimise their nitric oxide production for long term cognitive and cardiovascular health


Plus - and what is really important for me, is this is something we can teach at kindergarten and in schools. Educating children on why nitric oxide generation in our body is so important and what simple steps they can take to improve the generation of nitric oxide and eradicate the insults that are depleting our bodies of this vital cellular messenger.

She has authored two more books and you may have seen her a couple of times on the Dr. Oz Show or The Jack Canfield Show. Karen appeared on the TEDx stage “Mindful Eating with Mayo” and she has taught at Columbia University


Karen Mayo makes the complexities of nutrition accessible by zeroing in on the essentials and offering practical suggestions you can immediately implement into your daily routine


In this episode we talk about the importance of mindful eating and how to fuel your mind appropriately based on the different parts of your brain that may be struggling. Karen shares the story of how she supported her nephew who was diagnosed with ADD to achieving straight A's in school, and what to do to support your children who may be experiencing behavioural or cognitive challenges


I loved this episode as nutritional is foundational for me in the context of brain function and it's where I started my brain health journey. We had so much to talk about and it was so interesting for me personally taking Karen's mindful eating challenge with chocolate before joining the show to see how it changed my relationship with food!

Pip is a retired Officer having served 17 years in the British Army. During this time she served in various countries and was the first female Army Commando. She served as part of 3 Commando Brigade and was deployed on Op Telic 1

After the birth of her son in 2012, the death of her brother from cancer and her mum attending chemotherapy, Pip suffered from severe postnatal depression. The military mental health unit in Catterick literally saved her life

When she retired in 2014 Pip retrained as an outdoor leader working with children with additional support needs and more recently qualifying as a Therapeutic Forest Practitioner. Pip proactively spends time focusing on and supporting others, encouraging positive physical and mental health

In this episode Pip discusses her journey from joining the military to becoming the first female Army Commando and the importance of mindset in defining what you are capable of achieving

She dives deep into what led her being diagnosed with post natal depression, how this affected her and what she was able to do to navigate her way through it and re-establish balance in her life

She discusses how this led her to founding Operation Cairngorm, which allows individual to reconnect with nature, educating them on how they can use it to calm their body and mind 

I loved this episode. We had so much to talk about. I find this such an important topic to shine the light on the impact of post natal depression and to raise awareness to all those parents out there to know that you are not alone and there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel

Grayson is a former international rugby player with a career of 14 years as a pro. After a chronic knee injury and severe reliance on painkillers having a negative effect on his mental and physical health, Grayson discovered the profound power of legal and non addictive cannabis extract supplements and mushrooms to change his life.

He went on to launch Puresport, known as one of the UK's leading innovative natural wellness brands, who have built a community with a shared vision centred around mind and body wellness.

In this interview Grayson provides some inspirational insights into his childhood and how his demand to know why at school, often perceived as confrontational when he was young, ultimately became his superpower.

We talk about the challenges of educational systems that are unable to accommodate or adapt to different brain types. Grayson discusses his moment of shame and the pivotal moment in his life that led him to playing for the Auckland blues at 19 years old. He talks about the impact of losing his dad two seasons into the game, and how his attempt to emotionally suppress his grief led to physical expression that became self-destructive.

Grayson shares how he transitioned from professional rugby in Scotland to founding Puresport as a result of a chronic knee injury, and what he discovered about himself on his journey, including realising the need to shift his perspective from extrinsic to intrinsic motivation.

I loved this episode as it highlights how important it is to adapt our educational system to allow children to uncover their superpowers, the impact of childhood trauma on our behavioural responses. In particular I loved how Grayson showed, despite what life throws at you, there is always an opportunity to be uncovered in every hurdle in life you face to enable you to achieve optimal performance.

Jamie is an ex professional footballer, ex Royal Navy sailor and now successful entrepreneur in the area of sport, exercise, health & wellbeing and bio technologies. He is passionate about helping people understand the easy things they can do to benefit their health, while driving the awareness of Cellular health and Redox biology in the U.K. and around the world

In this episode we talk about the fascinating signalling pathways in our body and mind, the redox signalling molecules responsible for supporting our cellular communication and how to amplify the signal strength to enhance our internal communication network and ultimate aid recovery and enhance human performance

As a Reservist officer in the Royal Corps of Signals, I found this conversation absolutely fascinating as Jamie shares the extraordinary capability of a ground-breaking new product ASEA Redox that produces the redox signalling molecules, which is native to our body in liquid and gel form for us to use

This breakthrough health technology developed in the USA has been considered as significant as the breakthrough in penicillin, one of the effects of which is up-regulating glutathione by 800%

In 1998 the Nobel Prize was awarded on Redox signalling molecules, without which we would die within 3 seconds, and post puberty we lose our production redox signalling molecules about 1% a year

Jamie provides some fascinating case studies of those that have used this product to support their healing journey on some significant health challenges. Be sure to rate and review this episode on any podcasting platform.

In this LIVE episode, Dr Ruth draws on several guest episodes of her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain' and her own experience to provide parents and carers with ten simple steps they can take to empower their children to become warriors for their health – starting with creating food warriors.

Why?

Because at present, in the USA, our children are predicted to die earlier than us due to the state of our food system – in essence, we are killing our children early.

And being a parent, Dr. Ruth is NOT ok with that.

In this episode, Dr. Ruth talks about what you can do to nurture healthier, happier, calmer kids who, rather than being victims to the toxins in the food system that is poisoning their minds and bodies, are more EMPOWERED to take back control and change the food system to one that benefits their health, rather than just the food industry.

She shares the shocking statistics that are influencing what we eat and the impact it is having on us. She discusses why it's so important to start talking about the brain and falling in love with it, what you can do as a parent or carer personally to become ambassadors for a better brain and longer health span and life span, and how you can support your children in becoming food warriors.

We would love to know what of the ten steps you will implement in your family or your organisation – let us know! If you'd love to share your story of how these ten steps have influenced change in your family or your organisation, whether an educational institution or business, we'd love to hear from you.

Published in March 2023, this analysis of the food system – how it is malfunctioning and what to do about it, build on the work he did in the independent National Food Strategy, described by Prue Leith as “the best government document that’s ever come out.”

In 2013, he co-authored The School Food Plan, a blueprint for the government setting out actions to transform what children eat in schools and how they learn about food. It resulted in the introduction of free school meals for all children up to the age of eight and cooking lessons being made obligatory for all children up to 14 years old.

From 2018 to 2023, Dimbleby was the lead non-executive board member of the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs. He has also advised the Labour party on improving the food system's sustainability and security.

Henry previously worked as a journalist at The Daily Telegraph and a chef at the Michelin-starred Four Seasons Inn on the Park. 

In this episode, we talk about the chronic health epidemic associated with our current food system and the actionable steps we can take to improve the health of ourselves and our planet through a system-centric approach.

We discuss the importance of educating our children in healthy food for their minds, the risk of drugging our way out of the problem rather than dealing with the root cause and how we could be at the cusp of a new scientific revolution for using big data to understand and address these complex systems.

We talk about how people are living in a food ‘swamp' / junk food world and want change, given our children are now predicted to have a lower life expectancy than their parents as a result of the food system messing with our evolutionary feedback loops that govern our behaviour.

We also discuss the importance of giving our children the tools to survive in the food swamp, starting with creating a safe environment inside the home, helping our children to learn how to cook food from scratch, as well as different steps you can take as a parent to make food healthy and fun.

I loved this episode as we had so much to discuss on the importance of addressing the food system through a system-centric approach.

]]> Female Hormones and the Brain - How to Master Menopause with Dr Sally Moorcroft Female Hormones and the Brain - How to Master Menopause with Dr Sally Moorcroft Mon, 20 Mar 2023 07:10:30 GMT 1:15:38 https://winject.com/?p=23025 true https://www.ruthmaryallan.com/blog/female-hormones-and-the-brain-how-to-master-menopause 647628d6c35e3400115e200a 647628cf9aab2f00111a51bd female-hormones-and-the-brain-how-to-master-menopause-with-d full 4 70 Dr. Sally Moorcroft joins Dr. Ruth Allan on Episode 070 of her show ‘Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain.'

Dr. Sally Moorcroft is an award-winning integrative and functional medicine doctor. She has special interests in women's health, psychology, and the gut microbiome, particularly menopause, perimenopause, PCOS, and endometriosis.

She writes for national publications and lectures and teaches nationally on integrative and functional medicine. She is co-founder of the Northern Centre of Integrative and Functional Medicine (NCIFM), Lincolnshire; Chapel Yard Organics in Holt, Norfolk and Dr. Sally's Botanicals Herbal Teas and Tonics.

In this episode, we discuss female health and the brain, how to master menopause and address the symptoms you may be experiencing. We discuss the importance of choosing a practitioner with a comprehensive toolbox to tailor their approach to you rather than just using a hammer to help you when a chisel is best.

Dr. Sally discusses the critical signs that you are going into perimenopause and menopause and what factors we can influence to minimize the hormonal rollercoaster, including your stress levels, weight, diet, and gut health, which can lead to emotional symptoms and worsening brain health. She talks about the symptoms experienced as our hormonal levels rise and fall and what you can do to reduce the symptoms you are experiencing.

We discuss the impact on the adrenal glands and Hypothalamic-Pituatary-Adrenal (HPA) axis when your stress levels are consistently too high, which can lead to a reduction in the hormones DHEA and oestrogen, resulting in a reduction in brain function when oestrogen is low. She dives into polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), often called the diabetes of the ovaries due to insulin sensitivity, what causes the symptoms you can experience, and what you can do about it, including supplements you can use.

I absolutely loved this episode as we had so much to share about helping women manage their female hormonal fluctuations with simple, actionable steps you can take today to manage better any hormonal rollercoaster you are on.

Ken spent his younger years digging ditches and working in construction. He never went to college. Instead, he made goals, planned, and worked hard for thirty years. Ken is now a very successful entrepreneur with multiple businesses and revenue streams.

Over the last 30 years, he's created and built construction businesses, showing no degree required for comfort, peace, and freedom. His mission now is to help inspiring entrepreneurs see their way to success.

A career Army officer and devoted husband, father, and Opa, Jon-Paul spent 45 years serving his country in elite units like the Army’s Special Operations Command at Fort Bragg, NC, the 25th Infantry Division (Light) in Hawaii, and the Joint IED Defeat Organization

With more than two dozen deployments to places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Kosovo, the Philippines, and Haiti, he witnessed the effects of extreme human suffering around the world firsthand

He discovered he had service-connected PTSD on his own 11 years after he retired. When he was diagnosed, he was in denial, wondering “How could this happen to me?”


In this episode Jon-Paul discusses his own healing journey and how he's combined his experience to develop his own coaching practice for Veterans and their families. We talk about the importance of recognising psychological trauma as a wound - much like a physical wound, rather than considering it as a 'disorder'

We discuss how to address the military stigma associated with trauma, in particular post traumatic stress, to make the appropriate treatment available to those that need it to heal their wounds

His goal is to raise awareness of the presence of traumatic stress across our society and dissolve the stigmas around PTSD so that more people are less afraid to get the help they need

If you need professional support to address a past trauma or unhelpful experience, you can book trauma recovery coaching now, contact us directly to discuss your needs, or speak to your healthcare professional. Remember - you are not stuck with the brain you have, you have the power to make it better

Liz, an Ex RAF Chinook Crewman, served 17 years and completed 2 deployments to Iraq and 10 to Afghanistan. She suffered from PTSD and in 2020 tried to end her life.

She recently released her book ‘Chinook Crew Chick: The Highs and Lows of Forces Life from the Longest Serving Female RAF Chinook Force Crew Member’ to try and help others with Mental Health struggles.

During her deployments, she survived not only a near fatal wire strike onboard her CH47, but numerous enemy fire contacts' defending her crew by returning fire from both the M134 Minigun' and M60 weapons entrusted to her to operate.

Her biggest honour of all her duties, however, was serving on the Medical Emergency Response Team, or MERT - more commonly known as the flying ambulance. This involved recovering wounded soldiers from the battlefield, often under fire, and witnessing them both die and indeed come back to life at her feet in the cabin of her Chinook.

In this episode Liz openly shares the highs and lows that she experienced during her service and what she learnt from trying to take her own life following lockdown, and how she is using her story to provide hope to others.

Liz discusses the impact of losing the network of people that was so essential to her, how lockdown isolation restricted her exercise routine, resulting in a change of behaviours and eating habits that quickly spiralled downwards. She shares the impact of the domino effect on her mental health and how her constant drive to not be a burden to others led to her seeking a terminal way out to end her pain.

He is a retired visiting professor at the University of Teeside and is in the Orthomolecular Medicine Hall of Fame and on the Editorial Board for the Orthomolecular News Service, and has over 40 years of research and experience in the field of nutrition

In this episode Patrick shares his wisdom on the role of Omega-3, Vitamin B12 and homocysteine in cognitive decline and what you can do to reverse it

He discusses why the brain is the final frontier in medicine, the risk factors associated with cognitive decline and the science behind the steps you can take to support and enhance your cognitive function

Patrick talks about the impact of your genes in the context of cognitive decline, the key blood tests that you need to take to understand your key risk factors and the eight steps that are within your control to support your cognitive health

I absolutely loved this episode as Patrick provided simple, practical advice, underpinned by scientific research and places the power back in the hands of the people to reverse cognitive decline

Jeremy Delk is Managing Director of Delk Enterprises, which has grown from making $6,000 in its first year in business to being a diversified VC fund that has built and exited investments in both private and public transactions

Today, more than 20 years later, Delk Enterprises has holdings in biotech & healthcare, consumer brands, technology, building materials, and real estate development. Jeremy now focuses on investing in and advising entrepreneurs through speaking and engagements

Jeremy's book 'Without a Plan: A Memoir of Unbound Action and Failing My Way to Success,' released November 8th 2022, shares his reality of the Good, Bad, and UGLY of entrepreneurship

It serves as a not-so-subtle reminder of fundamental principles he's learned through his journey: while great times don't last forever, neither do the truly bad ones

I loved this conversation as it was raw, authentic and vulnerable. Jeremy was willing to dive deep into his mindset and share his experiences and how he navigated through life

From making his first $2M in 18months aged 18, to taking the desert by storm, why he turned down a $600M offer on his business, and finally being able to unchain his pain to achieve the abundance of success and happiness he has today

Be prepared to laugh out loud, be inspired and take bold action!

"Just be nice."

Jenny Goodman qualified as a doctor in 1982, and for the past 22 years has been specialising in Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, having finally found a way to practice medicine that is preventive, natural and truly health-sustaining. She is the author of "Staying Alive in Toxic Times: A Seasonal Guide to Lifelong Health"

In this Episode, Jenny talks about the effects of toxins on the brain, which occur both directly and indirectly via the gut, as well as how we can use nutritional and detox methods to prevent and treat the effects

Jenny is passionate about getting the truth out there on what is illness and what is health. She discusses the struggles with treating the sick using conventional medicine, which takes a symptom-centric, compartmentalised approach, rather than a system-centric whole-body approach

She highlights the impact conventional farming is having on our health, the health of our children and the health of our planet

She talks about the impact of pesticides on your body and mind, the epidemic of neuro-developmental disorders in children, as well as mental health issues, some of the root causes of which can be attributed to environmental and electromagnetic pollution

Jenny lays bare the truth about our toxic environment. She discusses the worrying impact fluoride in water is having on physical and cognitive health, the importance of setting your priorities for your health and offers simple steps you can take to reduce your toxic load and reduce the 'cocktail effect'

If you've experienced mould exposure, live in a neighbourhood that has high levels of pollution, have skin rashes, painful joints, are struggling any cognitive or physical health issues and the current medication isn't working, this is one episode you and your family don't want to miss!

I loved this episode as Jenny did a deep dive into the fifth pillar of brain health - our Surroundings and how they impact us

If you've experienced mould exposure, live in a neighbourhood that has high levels of pollution, have skin rashes, painful joints, are struggling any cognitive or physical health issues and the current medication isn't working, this is one episode you and your family don't want to miss!

I loved this episode as Jenny did a deep dive into the fifth pillar of brain health - our Surroundings and how they impact us

We the consumers have the power to make a radical shift for our health and that of the planet.

Rebecca, founder of Siendo, is a mental health and wellbeing trainer, speaker and advocate. Rebecca launched Siendo to give people the knowledge, tools and confidence they need to support their own wellbeing at every stage of their lives

Rebecca delivers Mental Health First Aid and Suicide First Aid training, Workplace Mindfulness Training and she offers a wide-range of wellbeing talks to organisations of all sizes

In this Episode, Rebecca talks about her changes in relation to her self-identity and self-worth as she went through pregnancy to becoming a mum. She and Ruth both discuss their very different birthing experiences, and how this impacted their perspective in life

Rebecca discusses her struggle with coming to terms with not being able to breastfeed, after her milk dried up trying to keep up with the demands of her baby. She lays out the simple, yet powerful wellbeing steps she took to find her way out of the darkness of the deep post-weaning depression she experienced as a result of the dramatic drop in her milk supply to restore the balance of her hormonal levels and reconnect with her child again

Society or mum's often place a huge amount of expectation on themselves around the commonly used slogan 'breast is best'. Yet breast isn't always best, as a baby's survival is dependent on the decisions taken by a parent, and if that means bottle feeding to ensure their survival, then that's ok.

Dr. Mark L. Gordon provides leading edge diagnostic and treatment protocols for treating both Traumatic and Non-Traumatic Brain Injuries using non-conventional nutraceutical therapies that have the support of peer-reviewed articles. The proof is in the pudding, which is encapsulated in the documentary movie - Quiet Explosions

In this Episode, Mark talks about his drive to prevent unnecessary suicides that occur as a result of untreated traumatic and non-traumatic brain injury. He discusses the impact of inflammation on the brain following concussive and non-concussive brain trauma, which often lies at the root cause of many psychiatric issues

Mark talks about what optimal brain health is for him. He discusses his success stories with his patients, including those that have gone on to develop photographic memories, reversed Parkinson's, reversed Alzheimer's disease and reserved Multiple Sclerosis in several cases, as well as helping three wheelchair-dependent veterans out of their wheelchairs, one of which was in their wheelchair due to the side effects of medication

We talk about the gut-brain connection and how activities going on outside the brain can contribute to brain inflammation. Mark discusses his own traumatic brain injuries that led to depression, which resulted in him researching the literature to find a solution, getting his hormones assessed and optimised to restore his brain function

Mark talks about the issue of military personnel being heavily medicated and how the absence of improvement under ineffective medications can lead to suicide to escape the pain. He discusses the science of neuroendocrinology, in particular the different pathways that occur in the brain compared to our body, as well as the speed of response. He also talks about how to improve sleep insomnia, depression and mood swings at a very low cost

I found this such an inspiring conversation and am so excited to be partnering with Dr Mark L Gordon to bring his programmes to the UK.

Please note that during this podcast we discuss the topic of suicide and suicide prevention

For almost 30 years, Steve Phillip was a successful consultant, trainer and keynote speaker when he received a call on December 4th 2019 that changed his world forever – his son Jordan had taken his own life. Steve Phillip is now a Suicide Prevention and Workplace Well-being Advocate, LinkedIn influencer, Keynote speaker and Founder of the Jordan Legacy and Baton Of Hope initiative

Mike was a journalist for more than 36 years reporting on headline stories across the world, notching up hundreds of appearances on the BBC and Sky News. Some of his riskier assignments saw him covering masked rioters looting in Manchester, and the frontlines of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, none of these experiences prepared him for the ordeal of losing his 31-year-old son Ross in February 2021

Mike McCarthy is now a speaker and campaigner for suicide prevention, awareness and change. He is a member of Baton of Hope Organising Committee and Trustee of men's mental health charity Talk Club

In this Episode, Steve and Mike talk about their drive to reducing the number of suicides that take place every year, which is the number one killer of men between 20 and 35 years old. We discuss the initiative 'the Baton of Hope,' which, much like the Olympic torch, is intended as a catalyst for community prevention initiatives in the UK, making it's way across the country, finishing in London

Steve and Mike discuss the research figures on the number of people touched by suicide, the state of the current system and the need to create collaborative change at a local and national level, opening up the dialogue around suicide prevention, building community support and generating more hope. Dr Ruth also provides some simple training to help you and others open the dialogue around the topic to take back control of your mental health

If you are interested in getting involved in the Baton Of Hope, have been affected by suicide, or are struggling with your mental health, this is one episode you don't want to miss

There is always hope. You are not alone

Anne is an accidental marketer, corporate executive, and multi potentialite with a smart mouth and a willingness to shout what most will only quietly think

She has spent much of the last two decades working in marketing for startups and large organisations and, based largely on her prior experiences in those spaces, is on a mission to get the business world to focus on the humanity of their teams and put people over profits

She partners with new, emerging leaders and seasoned execs, empowering them to build a human centric future of work for themselves and their teams, and speaks to audiences on how to embrace and embody lucid leadership, create a human centric workplace, and become an agent of authenticity

She is loud, proud, heavily caffeinated and tattooed, and usually not safe for work

In this Episode, Anne talks about what it means to be a human centric workplace, reflecting on her personal experiences

She talks about the baggage of emotions we bring to work, and how to reframe meeting requests to minimise the trauma triggers that some people may have

We dive into the psychological damage of performance reviews, the knock-on effect of not having human centric conversations in the workplace, as well as what people and organisations need to do to be more human centric

If you are a leader in the workplace and experiencing the great resignation in your organisation, or you're struggling as an employee to manage trauma triggers in the workplace, this is one episode you don't want to miss.

Gavin is a born entrepreneur with a passion for startup and scale up. He has over 25 years real estate experience in investment and development

Over the years Gavin has discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see, the number of awoken minds are very few in reality

Whilst acknowledging mindset is key, it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public

Like most of us Gavin has had many ups and downs. He wants to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally! Gavin aims to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. He intends to inspire by education, not by regulation

In this Episode, Gavin talks about the pivotal moments in his life that lead to him undertaking the deep work on his mindset to live a life of conscious action rather than a life of subconscious reaction

We discuss our belief systems and the importance of removing the seed of limiting beliefs that drive our behaviour, as well as investigating the root cause of trauma, particularly to support people with depression

Gavin discusses how he broke a common addiction that allowed him to shift from an oscillating mindset to a much calmer one - by changing one simple thing He discusses what it means to be an inspirational leader and how to be one and what one thing you can do to stay outstanding

‘When you are living your purpose, your passion and are consciously making decisions that are changing your life, there will be a lot of light shining out of your heart.’

Lynn Whitbeck is the Queen of Sales. Business Owners and entrepreneurs hire Lynn to ignite winning sales teams, because most are chasing down clients, stuck in a chaotic sales cycle, and lacking client retention, conversions, and profits. So, she helps transform thinking to the client’s perspective, ending sales chaos with a robust strategic plan to harvest the hidden profits.


In this Episode, Lynn talks about how to unchain your pain in the context of sales and how effective sales is through connection with the client - connection being one of the five pillars of brain health.


We discuss the difference between adults and children in the context of sales, and how as we get older, we can develop a fixed mindset and hold ourselves back from building strong relationships. 


Lynn also talks about the importance of a pause. Of reading body language and learning from your mistakes. She discusses the pitfalls of making effective sales, and how to flip the switch to create more of an impact for your client and start a ripple effect.


She also shares her personal story of how it’s important to understand that you get to choose what you do to support you on your journey through life, and how to transition from your comfort zone to your growth zone.


‘Sometimes you have to journey the long way around to travel the short distance.’

Violet became a Christian at eight years old, but was stunted by health issues, unfortunate circumstances and life’s challenges. Through her journey of recovery, she learned that it was possible to not just survive the day-to-day, but to achieve personal fulfilment and thrive!


Violet holds a Professional and Executive Master’s Coaching Certificate through an International Coach Federation (ICF) approved university and a bachelor’s degree in Education and Life Coaching from Liberty University where she studied Life, Health & Wellness, Financial, Marriage and Leadership coaching


Violet was born and raised in Laredo, Texas. She’s been married for 25 years to her husband, a retired US Army veteran. They’ve been blessed to be able to travel throughout the United States and abroad


In this Episode, Violet shares her story of how she struggled with severe depression and multiple suicide attempts, wondering if lasting joy and peace were truly attainable


At five years old Violet was molested by a family member, resulting in a cascade of health issues as a result of being unable to talk about what happened. Mercury poisoning from fillings in her teeth also led to brain fog, which continued to deteriorate after she finished school


After losing her grandfather, she spiralled downwards and completely lost hope - she was found by her husband after taking a cocktail of medication and revived in hospital


That wasn’t the first time Violet attempted suicide


Violet discusses the difficulty of her journey from being suicidal to the Happiness Advocate she is today, and how she pulled herself out of the darkness, found joy, hope and rediscovered her faith and relationship with God


If you are struggling with finding joy, feel like you’re losing hope or are having suicidal thoughts, this episode is for you

Terry Boyle McDougall is an Executive & Career Coach and CEO of Terry B. McDougall Coaching. She helps high-achieving professionals remove obstacles that keep them stuck so they can enjoy more success and satisfaction in their lives and careers. 


Before becoming a coach, Terry was a long-time corporate marketing executive where she led teams, developed strategies and advised senior leaders to drive business results. 


She is the author of ‘Winning the Game of Work: Career Happiness and Success on Your Own Terms’ and host of the Marketing Mambo podcast.


Born to very young parents with a mother that turned 17 two months after she was born, by the time she was 11 years old she had moved 41 times, which resulted in a lot of disruption in her life, and the need to be self-sufficient.


When she herself became a mother to her second son she reached out for support to address her internal belief systems after putting too much pressure on herself as a mum, trying to be a perfectionist.


In this episode Terry talks about the difference between professional success and personal happiness, what can lead to stress and burnout, the importance of the mirror test and taking the time to invest in yourself and valuing your own worth. 


‘What’s success if you really don’t have the time or energy to enjoy it?’


This episode is particularly relatable for me as a mum. Sometimes you just need to acknowledge that you have spent nine months of intense energy physically and mentally creating a beautiful human being. It’s ok to be tired out, emotionally drained and not feeling like you can ‘do everything’ after giving birth…

Following his wife’s death, Robert re-assessed his life and decided to share the many lessons he learned by becoming a Certified Life Coach, Keynote Speaker and most recently Author.


He pursued a childhood dream to live in Italy and now lives in the same small Italian village his great grandfather immigrated from. Robert is the Author of ‘Chasing Life,’ ‘A Pimby Tale,’ and ‘Possibility in Action’ out from 18 May 22.


Robert didn’t grow up in an ideal environment, living with an alcoholic and abusive father. Meeting his wife, Desiree, at the age of 19, he went on an incredible journey watching her evolve as she realised her life’s dreams of becoming a Palliative Care Medical Director, whilst he was her full time caregiver as she battled cancer for 11 years.


Robert talks about how important our imagination is, and how it can be diminished or buried as we become adults. He discusses how his experience with Desiree affirmed the importance of pursuing your dreams and living ‘all in.’


Robert discusses the challenges of grief, not only from the loss of a loved one, but the grief you can experience as you also lose your identity that you had as a caregiver.


This for me was a bit of a tear jerker. Robert’s book ‘Chasing Life’ about his journey with his wife Desiree, is absolutely beautiful. Have your tissues ready…

Michael is an entrepreneur, coach, podcast host, award-winning speaker, best-selling author, and advocate for adult survivors of childhood trauma. He’s the author of the fantastic, raw book “Think Unbroken - Understanding and Overcoming Childhood Trauma,’ and is just about to release his new book ‘Unbroken Man - A Man’s Guide to Being the Hero of Your Own Story’ on 14 June 2022


In this episode, Michael talks about the challenges of sharing his story and making it accessible to all who need it. We discuss the importance of finding the right mentor and coach to help accelerate your journey to unchain your pain and guide you to what’s next in life, including educating yourself as part of that journey. Michael discusses the importance of control and being the hero of your story - being willing to step through the discomfort of the unknown to reach that next level. He realized that his life was out of control at age eight, living with a mum who was an alcoholic and drug addict and a stepfather who beat him and his brothers to the point of putting him in the hospital. Michael discusses the topic of the theft of identity that trauma leaves - and the importance of being okay with the person you look at in the mirror.


“The more time you spend in the past, the less time you spend in the now.”

Barbara is Founder of Discover Next Step, a consulting and coaching company. In her workshops, retreats and 1:1 coaching, she combines personal growth, leadership and brain-based techniques to help her clients get more clarity on their next bold steps. 


She is author of ‘Permission To Be BOLD: A Guide to Loving Yourself, Living Fully and Leaving Your Mark In the World.’ 


Barbara is also the program director for the Brain Health Licensed Trainer Course at Amen University, supporting a community of brain health trainers that bring resiliency and wellness programs into their communities.


In this Episode, Barbara shares her story of how her childhood experiences shaped how she was able to connect with the world and those around her. 


She discusses how her fears and withdrawal were centred around her family dynamics - how she had to play quietly or outside to protect herself. She discusses how she became self-mute in moments of terror and fear.


This started from around 4 years old.


Never a rule breaker, she experienced a series of incidents in childhood that started a path of debilitating fear, withdrawing and not allowing her true self to come out.


Throughout school her anxiety and fear continued to grow, with her shame and humiliation compounding through the years.


After experiencing undiagnosed brain injury following breaking her back, Barbara had to readjust her objectives, taking 12 years to accomplish her Bachelors degree. 


When she was finally able to get a functional brain scan, she learned her brain type, understood how her brain functioned and was able to get the appropriate treatment to heal from her brain trauma and unleash her superpower.


“Change starts with me.”


“Listen to the whisper. Don’t wait for the 2x4.”

Dr. Leo Galland specialises in the evaluation and treatment of patients of all ages with complex chronic disorders. He views the relationship between doctor and patient as a partnership that empowers people to take control of their own health.


Dr. Galland’s practice is grounded in three principles:

  1. Search for the root causes of each person’s illness; don’t just suppress symptoms with drugs
  2. Treat every patient and every illness as unique
  3. Choose treatments that enhance rather than suppress normal function, whenever possible.


He is a pioneer in studying the impact of intestinal microbes (the gut microbiome) and intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) on health and disease.


Dr. Galland has received international recognition for developing innovative nutritional therapies to treat autoimmune, inflammatory, allergic, infectious and gastrointestinal disorders and has described his work in numerous scientific articles and textbook chapters.


A graduate of Harvard University and New York University School of Medicine, Dr. Galland is board-certified in internal medicine. He is listed in Leading Physicians of the World and America’s Top Doctors. 


In 2017, Dr. Galland was awarded the Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award by Marquis Who’s Who.


In this Episode, Dr Galland shares his perspective on the impact of COVID on our brain and whole body health, as well as what you can do to unchain your pain from the experience of COVID.


He summarises the key research in relation to the impact of COVID on the brain and talks about interventions that you can take personally to aid and accelerate your recovery from COVID, as well as key recommendations to support children.


Having experienced COVID myself, Dr Galland’s research and recommendations he provides on his website were a vital part of my accelerated recovery from COVID both cognitively and energetically.


His research is meticulous, well explained and acts as a fantastic resource for any medical professional, parent or individual seeking advice to prevent, treat and recover from COVID.

Mark Edmondson grew up in the North West of England, lived for his sport, loved his life, and felt very lucky with his lot. After a year of traveling and seeing the world, Mark embarked on a successful commercial career and focused on living well.


Life was good, then five years ago, Mark was told he had a stage 4 terminal cancer diagnosis and less than a year to live. He now lives life differently, but the same.


In this episode, Mark shares his story on the impact of being diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer and what steps he took to optimise his brain and whole body health and achieve a better life on his own terms. 


We discuss the fundamental values that drive him in life, how he overcame the diagnosis and cancer itself, the five pillars he now lives by, and what one piece of advice he would give to anyone diagnosed with a chronic illness.


“It’s not what happens to you in life that defines you, it’s how you react.”

“You choose your future, not the words you are told.”


This show is dedicated to Melanie, my dad’s mother, Eileen Woodward, whom I never met, and all those who have been diagnosed with cancer or a terminal illness and are fighting their own battle. There is always hope.

During this show, Dr. Ruth provides an overview of how psychological trauma manifests in the context of war and fear, how the brain responds to psychological trauma, what you can do as a family to avoid the trauma tree from growing, as well as further support to help your family unchain your pain.


Trauma is like a tree, so the earlier the seed is planted, the taller the tree can grow inside your mind. Much like physical trauma, the earlier you can intervene with an appropriate healing approach, the earlier you can address the trauma and prevent it from growing inside your mind. 


In the context of the trauma of war, the more you can discharge the trauma you experience each day when you feel in a ‘safer’ time or space, the more you can down-regulate your brain each day to cope with the ongoing trauma.

He discusses how his research into the issues associated with the education system helped him uncover where the system had damaged his children and the difficulty in challenging the current, traditional medical system.


Taking his family to get their brains scanned whilst they were on vacation in California, he was able to prove what he intuitively knew was wrong about the diagnosis of his daughter’s brain health struggles.


Helping to uncover the root cause of his daughter’s struggles, which lay in the bullying she experienced at school, Rex talks about her journey to healing, including removing the incorrect label she assigned to herself following the misdiagnosis.

Mike McCarthy is an award-winning journalist who has worked as a reporter and presenter in the news media for almost forty years.  


Having worked for the BBC and Sky News he covered the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and a massive variety of other stories across the world including politics from Washington DC, the Boston marathon bombing in the US, and a terrorist attack on the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa.  


Mike worked for over ten years as the North of England bureau chief for Sky News, covering crime, politics, and sports stories. Significant events include rioting in Athens, the Manchester Arena bombing, and the Hillsborough disaster.


His interviewees have included stars such as Muhammad Ali and most British prime ministers over the past four decades. He has worked in print, radio, and television in the fields of production, reporting, documentary-making, and presenting.


In this show, we discuss the topic of suicide. 


Mike McCarthy lost his son Ross to suicide in February 2021 and shares his personal story of what happened, what is wrong with the system, and the steps he is taking to change how mental health is discussed and treated.


Despite having depression for 10 years and attempted suicide the previous year, Mike discusses how his son Ross was on a six-month treatment waiting list. 


The mental health care system is in itself in a crisis and more needs to be done at all levels to raise awareness, from media to government to support groups, professional services, and healthcare organisations.


This is a very personal discussion for Dr. Ruth, who is the second generation of a family member who was lost to suicide - Ruth’s mum’s father, Francis, when her mum was only six years old.

Dr. Philip Alexander is a practicing medical doctor and pediatrician. Having suffered childhood trauma from a very young age, Dr. Philip used the study as his primary escape from the destructive culture he grew up in, leaving home at 16.


Despite achieving glowing reviews as a pediatrician, Dr. Philip’s empathic nature, driven by his deep-rooted desire to treat others appropriately, became a double-edged sword.


Starting his training as a doctor in the 1990s when there was little mental health support, the cultural stressors during training to become a consultant pediatrician, coupled with unaddressed childhood trauma, led to burnout; in 2013/14, he was diagnosed with depression.


Despite being in the NHS healthcare system, it took two years for Dr Philip to receive Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). This became a turning point for him on his journey to recovery. With the right therapist, he could open up and describe his feelings. Continuing therapy weekly until 2019, combined with coaching that has been super-charging his recovery, he recently 2021 started his return to work.


During this episode, we talk about the shocking statistics the British Medical Association reported that 75% of medical professionals have some form of mental health struggle and don’t disclose it. 


We discuss the cultural stigma in the medical profession, mental health struggles, and how adverse childhood experiences can manifest later in life. We talk about some warning signs we often don’t pay attention to and what fundamental changes are necessary now to support medical professionals struggling with their brain health.

For the last three decades, Suzanne has had the opportunity to work in independent leadership roles coaching others to summit their own Everest and meet their ultimate goals. 


Working in Fortune 100 companies, Suzanne has helped to develop emerging leaders and teams to meet best practices, excel in company expectations, and reach new heights.


Suzanne is the author of the #1 International Bestseller “Lead From The Top: How to make your life, your team, and your leadership a Grand Adventure.”


We apologize for the slightly wonky recording in the first two minutes of this episode. During this time, Suzanne mentions that only 350 individuals have reached the summit of Everest and we say that she was the 177th to achieve the Grand Slam in 2006.


In this episode, we take a very different look at what optimal brain health is, in the context of achieving your goals, viewed through the lens of extreme adventure.


During this episode, Suzanne and Dr. Ruth dive deep into what her challenges were in becoming the 177th person to accomplish the Explorer’s Grand Slam, and ultimately what Suzanne’s real Everest was…

Chris went public with his struggles in 2015 and since then has made it an essential part of his mission to help understand what mental ill health looks like


In this episode, we talk about how a combination of Chris's unresolved childhood trauma due to an emotionally destructive relationship with his father and the stress of his job resulted in his first major mental breakdown in 1996 after collapsing in the gym.


After being told by the doctor, 'There's nothing wrong with you,' the realization that his struggles were not physical but mental put him into a deep depression. 


At the time, the narrative at work was that 'Chris is overdoing it and needs to recharge his batteries.' The reality was very different as his specialist at the time described his mental breakdown as the equivalent of having a major heart attack


During the discussion, Chris praises the support offered by his firm and talks about the key steps they took to allow him to recover at his own pace without judgment.


In 2018, Chris completed an intensive program in Psychotherapy at Regent's University in London.


Chris's passion is mental health and wellbeing, and he is now a Trustee of MQ Mental Health.


Having suffered from severe mental health issues, Chris knows the stigma. He aims to reduce this stigma so that mental ill-health is treated the same as physical ill-health

Fallon Jordan, Community and Curriculum Director of Amen University and owner of Decluttered Mind and Home, LLC, joins Dr. Ruth Allan on the tenth episode of Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain.


Talking about her multiple ‘perceived’ minor concussions that led to chronic head trauma, headaches, light and noise intolerance, and difficulty reading, Fallon highlights the importance of functional brain imaging to understand and treat the brain.


She provides a stark insight into how the traditional medical approach for treating brain injuries isn’t working and the importance of taking a more integrated, whole-body approach to provide targeted treatment and initiate preventative healthcare.


Fallon and Dr. Ruth dive deep into the different types of concussions she experienced, how that affected her, and how that transpired into brain trauma. 


Seeing her brain scan and discovering that her brain was jam-packed and working too hard helped validate the struggles she had experienced, including undiagnosed ADD, anxiety, and trauma.


She talks about her past trauma, including rape, which led to her developing PTSD, and how she could heal from them using suitable approaches.


Fallon now helps people heal from the inside out, utilizing the power of the subconscious mind. She is a certified brain health coach and decluttering specialist and works alongside therapists, psychiatrists, and functional medicine doctors as a brain health licensed trainer.

Russ is passionate about connecting and developing relationships and wants to help others equally passionate about doing the same thing. 


From his rollercoaster of a journey to become the wonderfully wise and kind person he is today, Russ firmly believes that kindness is remarkable, smiles are free, and YOU have gifts worth sharing.


After falling three stories while working on a billboard, Russ talks about how he overcame his injuries physically and mentally and rebuilt his identity that he felt he’d lost. 


After losing a cousin, his younger sister, and his son, we discuss the importance of permitting yourself to grieve. “Not every day is rainbows and unicorns.”


When life doesn’t go how you expect it to, he explains you have a choice. Choosing pity or purpose, faith or fear, requires you to believe in something that isn’t quite in front of you.

In this episode, Keith talks about his traumatic childhood with a mother who had periodic psychotic episodes, including hospitalization in an era where mental health was not discussed. 


When his father died at 12, it fell on Keith to support his mother, who became incredibly fragile, and his siblings. Both matters were not discussed, making it difficult for him to express and release his emotions.


A traumatic event while working in the corporate world, coupled with the company's response to his situation, led him into a very isolated place and subsequent depression, which triggered his healing journey from his childhood experiences.


In this episode, Keith talks about the impact of COVID on our mental health and the importance of not just treating our way out of a crisis but communicating and talking to aid recovery.

]]> In the seventh episode of Brain Health: Unchaining Your Pain, Dr. Ruth Allan interviews Keith Leslie, leadership mentor, speaker, writer, Chair of Samaritans in the UK & Ireland, and Chair of Mental Health At Work CIC. ​​Keith is the author of "A Question of Leadership: Leading Organizational Change in Times of Crisis."


In this episode, Keith talks about his traumatic childhood with a mother who had periodic psychotic episodes, including hospitalization in an era where mental health was not discussed. 


When his father died at 12, it fell on Keith to support his mother, who became incredibly fragile, and his siblings. Both matters were not discussed, making it difficult for him to express and release his emotions.


A traumatic event while working in the corporate world, coupled with the company's response to his situation, led him into a very isolated place and subsequent depression, which triggered his healing journey from his childhood experiences.


In this episode, Keith talks about the impact of COVID on our mental health and the importance of not just treating our way out of a crisis but communicating and talking to aid recovery.
