In this episode of English Plus Podcast, we take a closer look at three seemingly separate topics—aging, mental health, and gut health—that are all connected in unexpected ways.
Aging: Is It All in Your Mind?
Could your beliefs about aging influence how you grow older? Science suggests that the way you think about aging can shape not only your attitude but also your physical health. People with a positive mindset tend to live longer, healthier lives. So, what story are you telling yourself about getting older?
Invisible Struggles: Mental Health in Marginalized Communities
Mental health challenges are tough for anyone, but marginalized communities face even greater barriers. Stigma, lack of access to care, and chronic stress create obstacles that are hard to overcome. This segment dives into the invisible struggles many people face and what we can do to make mental health care more accessible and inclusive.
Your Second Brain: How Gut Health Shapes Wellness
Your gut plays a bigger role in your wellness than you might think. With its direct connection to the brain through the gut-brain axis, your digestive system impacts your mood, immunity, and energy levels. This segment explores how small, sustainable changes to your diet and lifestyle can improve both your physical and mental health.
Vocabulary in Context
Throughout the episode, we use practical words and phrases—like self-fulfilling prophecy, advocate, and participate in—that you can integrate into your everyday conversations. Language shapes how we think, and learning these words will help you express yourself more clearly and confidently.
