This video is aimed at head teachers and school leaders who are interested in improving their heart and brain health.
Join us as we chat to Maria Brosnan, a health and wellbeing specialist, and Jackie Chambers, a head teacher who has benefited from Maria's program.
Maria discusses the importance of managing stress for heart health and brain health. She explains how chronic stress can lead to heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in the UK. She also explains how stress can negatively impact the brain.
Maria's program teaches head teachers how to manage stress using a three-pillar approach:
- Understanding the science behind stress and its effects on the body
- Using biofeedback technology to track heart rate variability
- Coaching to help head teachers develop stress management techniques
Jackie shares her experience with Maria's program from her perspective as a busy school leader, and talks about how the program has helped her to understand her body better and to manage stress more effectively. She also says that the program has improved her sleep, energy levels, and overall well-being.
