Exercise as medicine for mental health with Dr Adrian Lopresti & Dr Simon Rosenbaum
In this episode, Dr Adrian Lopresti interviews Dr Simon Rosenbaum, an academic exercise physiologist, about the intersection of physical activity and mental health. Simon shares insights from his extensive research, highlighting how exercise can be used as therapy to serve as both a preventative measure and a treatment for mental health conditions, particularly depression, anxiety and minimising the symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and its associated comorbidities and its associated comorbidities, depression, and anxiety. Simon further discusses the Addi Moves program, a trauma-informed physical activity initiative targeting disadvantaged and trauma-affected communities, emphasising the importance of creating supportive, culturally appropriate environments for exercise. Â
Simon underscores the critical role of physical activity in improving mental and physical health outcomes, advocating for its integration into mental health services. He also touches on challenges, such as overcoming stigma and barriers to participation, and the need for collaborative efforts among health professionals to promote and support exercise as a vital component of holistic mental health care.Â

SUMMER SERIES: Endometriosis: Neurocircuitry and the Emerging Role of Trauma with Emma Sutherland and Leah Hechtman
Leah Hechtman, well respected naturopathic practitioner, and reproductive health expert, explores the pain associated with endometriosis and the emerging understanding of adjusted neurological pathways through a woman’s life experiences that can shapes her perception of pain. She is joined by FX Medicine ambassador, Emma Sutherland, who delves into the concepts of the neurocircuitry that occurs in women with endometrial pain, and explores why some women may or may not feel pain depending on the physical severity of tissue proliferation. There’s a deep connection between lived experiences, emotions and trauma which impacts a woman’s feeling of safety, self-worth and empowerment which requires ongoing work to untangle in order to recover from experiencing ongoing pain - even when the clinical signs of endo have ceased.
The importance of support and providing a safe space for women to discuss all the underlying factors to their pain is emphasised. Importantly, knowing when to refer is explained, particularly if there are aspects of psychological, physical or sexual health that requires another experts skills to facilitate the road to recovery. Emma and Leah discuss various tests that prove to be valuable for measuring inflammatory and coagulation makers, both hallmarks of endometriosis, the use of medications and how they assist with management.
