Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Mental Health & Nutrition

•

Your brain is the boss of your body. It controls your heartbeat, breathing, sleep, mood, thoughts, movements and has to be on, 24/7.  To do that your brain needs fuel. The better the fuel, the better your brain will work. Join us today as we talk with Dr. Chaiqua Harris, Assistant Professor at Jackson State University,  Dr. Robika Mylroie, Distance Clinical Professor at Lamar University and School Counselor at St. Anthony, Dr. Mary Bess Panel, Assistant Professor at Delta State University about the brain/food connection and how it affects mental wellness.

  • Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | Burnout

    46:25|
    Host(s): Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and MPB's Liz Gill in for Abram NannyTopic: It happens to many of us at some point or another. Our lives get really busy with our daily responsibilities, our job, volunteer work, or taking care of someone. We feel the responsibility to keep going…then once the burden gets so heavy, we are just done and begin to shut down. That is burnout and it can jump in and undermine everything that we have been working for. Burnout can destroy a job, a relationship or an ultimate life plan. Today we’ll be talking about the signs of burnout, how to avoid it and what to do if you are getting close.You can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.If you enjoyed listening to this podcast, please consider contributing to MPB: https://donate.mpbfoundation.org/mspb/podcast

  • Southern Remedy Relatively Speaking | The Many Roles of Grandparents

    46:11|
    Host(s): Dr. Susan Buttross, Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and Abram NanneyGuest(s): Dr. Courtney WalkerTopic: For many families, grandparents are an incredible source of support. They're picking children up from school, helping with homework, making dinner, spending the night when parents have to work—and sometimes, they're doing much more. Some grandparents are providing childcare several days a week. Others have their grandchildren living with them and have essentially stepped back into the role of parent. So today guest host Dr. Courtney Walker is talking about what happens when being a grandparent also means being a caregiver. We'll talk about why grandparents have become such an important part of the childcare system, the joys and challenges of that role, setting boundaries with adult children, differences in parenting styles, burnout—and perhaps most importantly, what children actually need from their grandparentsYou can join the conversation by sending an email to: family@mpbonline.org.
