#1 - Introduction to the biopsychosocial model (and how it will benefit you) - ALSO FIRST EPISODE 😮💨
In this introductory episode of The Vertue Podcast, I, unpack the concept of wellness beyond the familiar narrative. I introduce you to the biopsychosocial model—a holistic way of understanding health. But, we go beyond that, venturing into ‘my’ unique BPSES model which includes the economic and spiritual dimensions of well-being. We'll reflect on why our society often sees health in a purely physical light, even making snap judgments based on someone's physical appearance, and I'll challenge you to shift this perspective. By the end of this episode, I hope you'll start seeing wellness as more than just gym sessions or diets, but as a combination of our physical, mental, social, economic, and spiritual lives. Also, there's a bit of homework! I want you to reflect on where you might be emphasising one aspect of the BPSES model over others. Prepare for a journey of understanding health in a holistic and interconnected manner, and don't forget to send in your questions for future episodes! Join me as we redefine what it truly means to be well.
