When we're talking about toolboxes to help, whether be depression or anxiety or PTSD,

we're going to talk about exercise in this context as a part of a toolbox.

Movement is medicine. What's the minimum, like, effective dose of movement that still provides

mental health benefits? When we're looking at large groups and numbers of people, we've measured,

what is the minimum amount so people start to feel

like a mental uplift and we've come across this number which we've looked at you know

thousands of data points about minutes and seconds is the amount where most people tend to feel like

a meaningful uplift in their mind and some people think that's a lot less and some people think

not as much but that's just that less and some people think not as much,

but that's just that small amount of movement. People can see a real meaningful uplift.

What if one of the most powerful tools for mental health wasn't found in a pill bottle,

but in movement? This week in the TTSL podcast, we're joined by Dr. Brendan Stubbs, one of the

world's leading voices on the science of physical activity and mental health.

Dr. Stubbs is a world-renowned researcher and clinical physiotherapist based at King's College, London,

ranked among the top 0.1% in most cited scientists globally. He's published over 800 academic papers

helped lead international clinical guidelines for organizations like the world, Psychiatric Association, and shaped how the world understands exercise is both preventative and treatment for depression.

Most recently, Dr. Stubbs was the head of science behind the Amazon Prime documentary Mind Games, The Experiment, which aired in over 30 countries

exploring how movement can sharpen even the most elite cognitive performers.

In this episode, we dive deep into the evidence, how physical activity impacts the brain,

what the science really says about exercise and depression, and how small, realistic changes

movement can make meaningful

differences to mental health.
