Episode 103: STEP into a Better Mood!
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
With rising concern over increasing anxiety and depression in young people, it makes sense to consider what we CAN do to boost mental health and well-being. In this episode we discuss findings from a 2024 study published in JAMA that shows that people who took more steps---- per day---- consistently reported fewer depressive symptoms.
We discuss the physiological mechanisms behind this relationship between physical movement and improved mood and well-being and how to get started. Sometimes the best way to improve our mood, is to start by improving our physiology.
