In today’s episode, Dr Vignesh Devraj talks about the importance of creating mental health awareness for men. It is a commonly seen phenomenon that most conversations around physical health, mental health and holistic practices are more popular among women, than men. While women are naturally more conscious about their health, men seem to be missing the call to action. In this episode, Dr Vignesh shares his thoughts on why this is happening and how we can create a change.  The topics discussed in this episode are:  The disparity between health consciousness in men and women Male perspective of Health and Illness An evolutionary perspective of communication in men and women Importance of Communication, Vulnerability and Safe Spaces  The role of upbringing and environment  Importance of dealing with “inner loneliness”  Addictions and other unhealthy coping mechanisms  Connection between mental health and physical health  If you are interested in doing one on one ayurvedic consultation with Dr Vignesh Devraj please find the details in this link -  https://calendly.com/drvignesh/30-minute-session-with-dr-vignesh-devraj-md-ay-ist If you are economically challenged, please use the form provided to request a free Ayurvedic consultation here.  (Link - https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd29nHcrC1RssR-6WAqWCWQWKKJo7nGcEm8ITEl2-ErcnfVEg/viewform ) BALANCE THE MIGHTY VATA - ONLINE COURSE NOW AVAILABLE  What makes Ayurveda unique in its treatment approach is its practical wisdom on the concept of Vata. Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions.
