Doctors sometimes describe depression as a “chemical imbalance,” but the reality is more complex.

Brain chemicals involved can include:

* Serotonin – mood and emotional stability
* Dopamine – motivation, reward and drive
* Noradrenaline – energy, focus and alertness
* GABA – calm and relaxation
* Glutamate – learning, memory and brain activity

Depression isn’t simply caused by being “low” in one chemical. Sleep, stress, movement, relationships, inflammation, hormones, genetics and life experiences can all affect how these chemical systems work.

Regular exercise, natural daylight, good sleep, nutritious food and social connection can all support brain health.

If exercise could be put into a pill, it would be one of the most prescribed medications in the world.

Yet many people still see it as optional.

Move your body today. Your brain, heart, muscles, immune system and future self will thank you for it. 💪🧠❤️

Just want to say a massive thank you to Jungle IT Ltd, Harworth Group plc , DLA Piper , Clarion Solicitors , Sedulo, Vita Coco, vodaphone and ellesse for the work doing posture and wellness seminars.

I’m really looking forward to be working with Liberty Blume and Markel this year too!

When I was competing in Thai boxing, imposter syndrome had a grip on me.

I remember speaking to a sports psychologist who said something that stuck with me:

“If you prepare to fail, and then you fail… did you actually succeed?”

At the time, I found it incredibly hard to truly believe I could win. And even when I did win, instead of feeling proud, I felt like a fraud. Like I didn’t deserve it.

That cycle can be exhausting. And if I’m honest, it still shows up in my life now.

The difference is awareness.

I’m better at noticing it, challenging those thoughts, accepting accomplishments instead of dismissing them, and choosing to create more positive days rather than letting negative thinking take over.

Progress isn’t always about eliminating the battle. Sometimes it’s learning how to respond differently to it.
