Course Description

​

During this course you will discover new ways to view personal health and become a more resilient researcher.  Start to address the key cornerstones of a healthy lifestyle and help yourself to become significantly more productive as a researcher, whilst finding a more authentic version of you. Rather than learning (yet more) about health fads, you will learn practices and life hacks that will slot into your busy schedule and start you on a road to achieving whole health. 

 

The course is run by Dr Joyce Reed and is based on her manual, The Resilient Researcher, in which she draws on the biomedical evidence base, clinical experience and personal experience of balancing lifestyle and regaining whole health.  Dr Reed reveals that the evidence needed to change your mindset on health is hidden in plain sight and that relying on the absence of disease is only a small part of health.  You will be empowered to put this evidence into practice in your own life, without compromising your time or energy.  In fact, after affecting a few small changes, you will discover more energy and time than ever before.

How does it work?

​

Following on from the work you may have already done in The Productive Researcher training, this course works by shifting you from focusing on disease to focusing on health-based priorities.  By looking at your own identity and priorities, this course will help you find your own unique pathway to health. By working regularly on your most important priorities, even if only for a small proportion your time, you can become increasingly motivated to make time for healthy habits, creating a powerful positive feedback loop between your physical and emotional resilience as a researcher. Rather than encouraging you to add more things onto your daily to-do list, the emphasis is on discovering practices you enjoy that fit with your busy life.  These will give you better work-life balance, and teach you how to rest and sleep well, and lead to even more effective work.

​
