Stanford Psychologist Reveals The Most Important Thing To Do When Depressed | Kelly McGonigal

- One of the positives I’m seeing during the current lockdown is many people’s renewed appreciation for getting out, active and connected. Having to stay home is making us really value that small window in our days when we can step outside to exercise, interact with nature and say a (distanced) hello to people we pass on the street or in the park.
For that reason, I think you’re going to love listening to my guest on this week’s podcast. Kelly McGonigal is a US research psychologist, a lecturer at Stanford University and an author.
Kelly and I talk about the importance of music for movement, and how moving with others can improve social connections and foster a sense of support and community. We discuss how going beyond what you think you’re capable of - whether that’s an endurance event, lifting heavy weights or taking on an epic hike in nature - can provide a spiritual experience that changes the brain in positive ways.
If doesn’t have to be hard, though. Kelly explains how even the simplest of movements provide an immediate reset for your mood and brain chemistry. And she shares ground-breaking new research that shows how repeatedly contracting any muscles, through continuous exercise, releases antidepressant substances called myokines that scientists have dubbed ‘hope molecules’.
Whether you’re someone who wants to move more but isn’t sure where to start - or you’re already a confirmed fitness fanatic - I think you’ll find this conversation uplifting.

Brilliantly said. Just one session covers so much that we should know about how to live our lives to the fullest and learn to enjoy it
She’s so lovely & engaging! She is curious and, although the interviewee, she asks him questions too 💕
I loved this interview. I struggle with depression and I am “young” but have no energy and am incredibly sedentary, 2020 has only worsened it. I do love to dance, I’m also considering getting roller blades. This was such an encouraging and interesting interview. I am sharing with my friends and family. Thank you!
Roller blades! ❤
4:31 Kelly does an adorable(dare I say flirty) thing with her eyebrows. She is just a beautiful slice of light that helps so many people. Glad to have discovered her.
This needs to go viral - incredibly informative, helpful and valuable. Thank you both so very much
Thanks so much for the feedback! Please do share with your friends and family.
Another great interview. If I do not move, I sink, slowly into nothingness. MOVE! Thank you! I am not crazy for thinking this way.
Even in my youth I was so limited (especially stamina-wise) but I was very fortunate to have it dealt with (medically) and I was able to, forced to by poverty, I had to ride a bike, I became a runner, and now a walker. Now, I am able to, need to, spend each afternoon moving.
Fortuitous
Very inspiring interview and reframing of exercise culture. That’s exactly why I started Essentrics. The focus with Essentrics is helping your body to rebalance so you’re able to physically engage with all the other things you want to do in life. What is also great is that it’s accessible to all ages in a way that some modalities are not. I’m 65 and I’m in better shape (mentally and physically) than I was at 45, running and going to the gym 4-5 days a week. Love your interviews! 💖
sounds cool....I ll have to look it up,too....
She is absolutely correct.
What a delightful insight regarding the benefits of movement!. Bless you all for sharing this knowledge and for the wonderful work within your various fields...thank you.
Live a life beyond the boundaries you set on yourself.
Here in Malaysia the lockdown rules don't permit getting outside to exercise. I live in a n apartment, so I did a bit of rearrangement of furniture, so that I could make sure that I can walk. Sometimes I listen to music, sometimes listen to podcasts and youtube videos and sometimes I read. Last week I crossed 100,000 steps for the week.
I also try to get in some HIIT body weight and movement a couple of times a week.
Good for you. Wishing you the best of health!
Well done. Can’t imagine not being able to go outside xx
two of my biggest hero's in the health science! you are so good together!!!
I got so excited to see you invited Kelly - she is awesome! Thank you both, I love this podcast
Hey Yoana, thanks so much. Yes, she ie great. I had been working on trying to get her on my show for a while. Thanks for watching our conversation together. Her book is brilliant and well worth reading!
@@DrChatterjeeRangan thanks a lot dear
@@DrChatterjeeRangan i regularly watch your podcost and share it on social media ,have one podcost with neuroscietist who r expert in benefit of religion for mental health like
I’m 66 and although I’ve had a busy life, the past two years of covid restrictions have destroyed my mojo - even the thought of going for a stroll makes me feel tired. Lots of music reminds me of my late husband so it tends to make me sad, not energetic.
It was great and beautiful. Thank you both.
OMG thank you both so much ❤️
Thanks for another lovely podcast. It took me a couple of months to figure out how to use this device.
I’ve lost 12 kg and reduced two blood pressure medication. It took me 12 months to achieve this.
I do walking, martial arts and just started to use kettlebells.
Lovely is this podcast, thanks 🙏
Thank you so very much! Very helpful! And lovely. And loving! Brilliant job, keep it coming, please.
So important for all to hear. Excellent Thank You.
Thank you for this conversation and playlist - I can't stop skipping all day ;) actually im the Subway :)
Great interview!
Great guest! 👍💚
Loving her knowledge and delivery
32:00
Scoence and spirituality
Yoga and meditation
REMEMBER HOW ABBA GOLD AND STEELY DAN PULLED ME OUT OF DEPRESSION IN THE LATE NINETEEN CENTURY
Maybe the late 20th century. Unless you’re a time traveler. But both very great choices of music to grow and move by. I plowed through a messy kitchen and two hours of cooking and clean up with Steely Dan last night
Kelly doesn't look old enough to have amassed this much neuro knowledge. Endocannabinoids. Hmm.... I ordered the book in the hope that there would be a deeper explanation of runner's high/endorphin flow. I live for that feeling and the way I love getting it is via lifting weights. I do it Arnold Scharzenegger style: deep, intense focus while performing the movement - I'm literally inside the muscle. When I was younger, it was about my body and competing. Later, it became almost like a spiritual thing. You can also get that 'flow' via creativity, such as playing piano. I really enjoyed this podcast and only wish you would have asked questions and let Kelly talk a lot more.....just sort of had her expand on stuff rather than moving into your story, as good as they were.
Appreciate your feedback.. Agreed. re. creativity. Thanks also for your comments on my conversation style. These are conversations rather than interviews so don't tend to follow the strict question and answer format. Thanks so much for watching.
Wow 😮 somebody that understand 🙏
Thanks for watching!
Nice podcast on exercise
That's it I'm getting the rocky theme song added to my playlist!
🙌 wounderfull
Love Parkrun and Goodgym Redbridge
Thanks for watching Sharon. I love Parkrun too!
I listened to Dr. Rangan, the things he says make sense .. but I suffer from depression, I did a crp test and according to the doctors I have no inflammation in the body at all. So the Doctor's things do not work out so well.
He gave me false hopes 😢
1hr 25 really blew my mind!
Rangan, your mic is a lot louder than Kelly's/or you talk too loud, makes it difficult to listen to when the volume switches.. if anything should be other way round, as she's the guest;) thanks for a great interview!
Thanks for the feedback. The mics are actually set by the sound engineer - and the final volume is to do with the edits - I will pass your feedback on - thanks
Chatterjee - I love your name, it's such a great name for your show.
I came here just to admire kellys beauty
KELLY, HOW DO YOU FANCY A PLACE IN STAR TREK?
My experience was a total squelch of women in athletics experiences unless you can win. Always at a male's consideration of what they can get from a woman's run.
Men women.
Joe Biden says men can compete against women. Plenty of movement now girls.
Go! 😆
Very easy to say
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Rangan...could you get your sound engineer to revisit this?
What about all of us who, through life-long experience (from school to exercise gurus) feel 'exercise' like total body nausea. I'm so OVER being preached at by people who chose a life of exercise because they like it. You are so (reasonably) critical of bias in research, why can't you see past self-selection bias in exercise pushers
Low on reality
Rangan, scream more on your turn so we know who is boss and tell us you're a doctor for 20 years with every chance.
Want to listen but can't because he talks so loud. ☹️
lower the volume on your device?
Yeah but then I can't hear the guest
I love thé section of music . It reminded me of the song 145 from cat empire th-cam.com/video/Eo-lPA9X6YM/w-d-xo.html
