Community Mental HealthUkraine, information overload and your midlife crisis

March 23, 202210 min

The Ukraine crisis has consumed us in a sudden and overwhelming information overload. After weeks of warnings about a potential war in Ukraine preceded by years of increasing antagonism, the Russian military marched into the country and swiftly altered geopolitics for decades to come. Within minutes of the invasion, the global news cycle kicked into high-octane war coverage and it hasn’t stopped since. While it is vital that the war and suffering of the Ukrainian people is reported as transparently as possible,...

March 21, 202216 min

March 15, 202225 min

Paul Thornley isn’t afraid of making enemies, clearly. Almost everything this Dubai-based former British military neuromuscular therapist and body movement specialist — and Pilates instructor — says challenges fitness and movement as we know it. What does he believe in? Biotensegrity, which is all about understanding fascia, how to maintain our most efficient movement, and adaptation, without compromising structural integrity. And stretching? As he told The Livehealthy Podcast on March 9, not so much. You ask ‘should...

Health Mental HealthHow I learned to reduce my pain and live with fibromyalgia

March 4, 202225 min

After 18 years of searching for a cure for fibromyalgia, all I wanted to do was to be able to function. But with some lifestyle adjustments, I have been able to achieve much more than that.

Community Mental HealthForget Jan 1: NOW is the only time to change

March 1, 202210 min

So much of our life has changed in the last few years. The world as we know it is no longer the same — what is important to us, who we spend time with, how we travel, how we plan, how and where we work, as well the days we work and spend time with our family have all changed suddenly. And as much as we struggled (and complained), we all adapted to all the...

Community Mental HealthASKWHO: Make friends with the UAE-founded social app

February 17, 202218 min

For many of us, the idea of adding another social media platform to our already web-centric lives is very unappealing. But refreshingly, ASKWHO isn’t about gathering as many likes and followers as possible. Founded in Dubai by expats Michael Askew and Matthew Gaziano and currently available around the world”, the group social media app encourages users to connect with others from their local area, share tips, exchange ideas and even meet up in person.

February 14, 202212 min

We feel increasingly lonely in our world. Some people blame loneliness on invasive social media and others blame it on pervasive technology. And while these two factors are major culprits for how disconnected we feel from each other, one of the main reasons for our loneliness is that we are disconnected from ourselves. So when we take the disconnection from the self and throw in the rise of filters, plastic surgery, and the objectification of...
