But how accurate is this belief, and how does it affect those living with mental health conditions?Dr. Rakesh Lamba, Medical Director at BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, discusses how family and caretakers can assess risk factors.Follow Look Agan to hear more informed discussions like this one that break down misconceptions and paint a more compassionate portrait of living with mental illness.

Meet the Expert Panelists Vicki Robin is a renowned social innovator, author, and speaker best known for co-authoring the classic Your Money or Your Life, updated in 2018 to address the spiritual, social, and ecological aspects of money... I suspect it has inspired many of us here on how to gain control of our money -- and our lives – It is a comprehensive and revolutionary book on money management. With a recent focus on community, Vicki explores sustainable solutions through her book Blessing the Hands That Feed Us, her podcast What Could Possibly Go Right?, and her advocacy for localism and sustainable living. https://vickirobin.com Dr. Anna Yusim is a board-certified psychiatrist, executive coach, and best-selling author who integrates spirituality and science to help over 3,000 clients—from Fortune 500 CEOs to Olympic athletes—achieve greater purpose and fulfillment. A Clinical Assistant Professor at Yale Medical School and founder of its emerging Spirituality & Mental Health Center, she draws on her global experiences across 70 countries and extensive academic training from Stanford, Yale, and NYU. https://annayusim.com Laura Tynan, founder of The Witch of Wall Street, is a financial empowerment coach and former global finance executive who helps conscious women heal their money mindset and build generational wealth through aligned investing.

Key Highlights: Intentional Living Rewires Financial Beliefs Vicki Robin explains that understanding the “life energy” behind money—a cornerstone of Your Money or Your Life—helps shift spending from mere consumption to empowered, values-driven choices. She emphasizes: “Is this purchase worth the hours of my life? Is it going to make me truly happy, is it going to take me in the direction I want to go?” This mindset fosters lasting contentment over fleeting gratification. Visualization and Feeling as Catalysts for Wealth Laura Tynan reveals why visualization techniques—when grounded in emotion—can powerfully transform your financial journey. “Visualization can be really powerful if it helps us to connect to the feeling of the reality that we want to create.” If affirmations or vision boards feel empty, tuning into genuine emotion is key. Neuroscience of Money Mindset and Manifestation Dr. Anna Yusim shares how our brains process imagined experiences similarly to real ones, making visualization and daily affirmations scientifically effective for rewiring limiting beliefs. She notes, “Gratitude is the most powerful energetic signature that we can cultivate…magnetizing abundance both emotionally and practically.” Aligning Wealth with Values for Greater Fulfillment All panelists underscore the crucial role of aligning finances with purpose to build sustainable well-being and community resilience. Vicki Robin highlights investing locally and redefining wealth: “A lot of our wealth is in the vitality of your community, in the friendships that you meet…All of these things are wealth building.” Call-to-Action Here's your call to action for this week: Take 10 minutes to write a “money story.” What early experiences shaped how you feel about money today? What beliefs might be holding you back—and what new beliefs do you want to adopt instead? This simple reflection can open the door to clarity and confidence.

In this second episode of our World Schizophrenia Day series, we revisit a controversial debate.Anti-psychotics like Abilify, Risperdal, and Clozapine are often used to help manage a person's symptoms of schizophrenia, including paranoia, delusions and hallucinations.

It encourages people to accept and live with the symptoms of severe mental illness, such as delusions and hallucinations.To help us navigate this hot-button dilemma, we talk to a Look Again recurring guest, Dr. Diane McIntosh, Psychiatrist and Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of British Columbia.Follow Look Again to listen to insightful conversations like this one that examine the treatment of severe mental illness.

Restless leg syndrome is a common movement and sleep disorder affecting 2-3% of the population. Certain neurologic disorders are associated with a higher incidence, and neuropsychiatric medications prescribed by neurologists and psychiatrists often exacerbate these symptoms. In January, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine published updated guidelines for the evaluation and treatment of RLS. The recommendations shifted from recommending the use of dopamine agonists, to prioritizing iron evaluation and supplementation, alpha-2-delta ligands (gabapentin, gabapentin enacarbil, pregabalin), and recommending against the long-term use of dopamine agonists. The guidelines also recommend opiates for moderate-severe medication refractory RLS. Dr. Winkleman is a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and chief of the Sleep Disorders Clinical Research Program in the Department of Psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital. He is the first-author on the new guidelines, and is here to discuss these changes and what is needed to effectively change practice.

Ever been diagnosed with stasis dermatitis? If you're dealing with swelling, redness, or relentless itchiness on your lower legs, it's not just dry skin or aging—it could be a sign of poor circulation.Stasis dermatitis is more than just a rash. If left unchecked, it can lead to painful ulcers, infections, and serious complications. It's often mistaken for cellulitis, which means unnecessary antibiotics—and in one case, a patient was hospitalized 11 times before getting the right diagnosis. And heads up—it doesn't just show up on legs. It can also affect areas like the belly and lower back where blood tends to pool.To help us unpack this overlooked condition, I'm joined by Dr. Peter Lio—a board-certified dermatologist and eczema expert. He's a Clinical Assistant Professor at Northwestern, Harvard-trained, and has published over 100 papers, including a textbook on integrative dermatology.Dr. Lio breaks down what stasis dermatitis is, why it's often missed, and how to spot it early.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. John Randolph - a board-certified clinical neuropsychologist, brain health consultant, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Dartmouth's Geisel School of Medicine. He's the past president of both the National Academy of Neuropsychology and the New Hampshire Psychological Association, and his research focuses on cognitive health, executive functioning, and resilience. He's also the author of The Brain Health Book: Using the Power of Neuroscience to Improve Your Life.In our conversation, Dr. Randolph breaks down the CAPE model—a simple and powerful way to think about and take care of our brain health. We talked about cognitive strategies, activity engagement, preventing cognitive problems, and education about our brains. And, how small, consistent actions can make a big difference in our long-term brain health. We also discuss the impact of sleep, exercise, and social connections, which was validating for me as this is what I always like to ask my clients about. Dr. Randolph also shares a little about the research he's doing with people with multiple sclerosis to figure out how to improve cognitive resilience. Our brains are fascinating, so listen today to learn how we can extend and enrich our lives by taking care of them!Show NotesLearn More About Dr. John Randolphhttps://www.randolphnp.com/about-dr-john-randolphThe Brain Health Book: Using the Power of Neuroscience to Improve Your Lifehttps://wwnorton.com/books/978039371287212 ways to keep your brain younghttps://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/12-ways-to-keep-your-brain-youngBuild Better Work Habits: How Your Brain Changes with Practicehttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/executive-functioning-strategies-blog/build-better-work-habits-how-your-brain-changes-with-practiceThe Quiz My Colleague Used With Her Clienthttps://www.viacharacter.org/account/registerLearn More About 1:1 Coachinghttps://www.beyondbooksmart.com/how-it-worksLearn More about BrainTracks Teacher Professional Developmentwww.braintracks.comGet in Touchpodcast@beyondbooksmart.comInstagram/Facebook/Tiktok: @beyondbooksmartcoachingwww.beyondbooksmart.com
