The temperature in London next week is set to plummet into chilly single digits.

It comes after the ‘anticyclonic gloom’ loomed over the capital, when fog and grey clouds blotted out the sun. Rachelle Abbott asked neuroscientist Dr Henry Mahncke, chief executive of ‘brain fitness’ platform BrainHQ, about winter’s impact on the brain and our mental health. You’ll also hear Dr Mahncke’s top tips for boosting mood and staying more balanced during the colder months. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
