Kristen Turner, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), knows the powerful connection between physical and mental well-being. Drawing from her experience, she shares valuable insights on how regular physical activity can transform your mental health. From boosting your mood to improving sleep quality, Kristen highlights the key ways in which taking care of your body can lead to a healthier, more balanced mind. Here’s how Kristen recommends you can harness the benefits of physical health to enhance your mental well-being:
Improved Mood and Reduced Stress: Research shows us that regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.
Enhanced Cognitive Function: Want a healthy brain? Physical health supports brain health by improving blood flow and oxygen supply. Our memory, attention, and problem-solving abilities can all be enhanced through some regular exercise
Better Sleep Quality: We all know the impact of a good night's sleep - we feel emotionally regulated we can better manage stress. Regular physical activity promotes better sleep patterns by helping to regular the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle.
Increased Self-Esteem and Confidence: Showing up and working on your physical health can build a sense of accomplishment and mastery, boost self-esteem, and improve body image.
Fun Fact about Kristen: "I am very passionate about physical fitness and movement! Every week, I look forward to coaching local CrossFit classes and getting outside with my dog."
