Your world with Dr. Beatrice Hyppolite
Hello,
I am Dr. Marie Beatrice Hyppolite. I hold a doctorate in Health Science with emphasis on Global Health and master’s degree in social work. I have over 14 years of experience in the field of health and human services.
This podcast is primarily focused on mental health and the quality-of-life elements that affect it such as divorce, death, domestic violence, trauma, toxic relationships, and single parenthood to name a few. It is no secret that mental health challenges continue to profoundly impact modern society although not enough discussion is given due to stigma. Research has shown an increase of 25 % in mental health crises after COVID-19. It is important to have honest, uncomfortable conversations about mental health while being supportive. Although we are interdependent, change begins with the individual, hence “your world.”
I welcome you to join me on my journey and look forward to your responses.
Your world with Dr. Beatrice Hyppolite
Sleep, Boundaries, and a Kinder Self
Stress doesn’t always shout; sometimes it hums in the background, stealing sleep, focus, and joy. We unpack a simple, humane toolkit to steady your mind: consistent sleep, movement you actually enjoy, food that fuels a calmer brain, and daily practices that turn down the noise. Along the way, we get honest about boundaries—why “no” is an act of care—and how mindfulness helps you release what you can’t control so you can act on what you can.
We also dig into the power of connection. Conversations with friends and family can soothe the sting of hard days, and support groups add the wisdom of shared experience. When those supports aren’t enough, we talk through the next steps with professional care. We explain how therapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy, builds practical skills for anxious spirals and low‑mood loops. We outline when medication may help, what adherence really means, and how meds and therapy often work best together.
Expect actionable steps you can try today—three slow breaths before a tough call, a 15‑minute walk to reset your stress response, a colorful plate to stabilize energy, and one compassionate boundary to protect your time. We end with a reminder that mental health is personal and dynamic: your journey won’t match anyone else’s, and that’s okay. If this conversation helps, share it with someone who needs a nudge toward gentler days, subscribe for more grounded guidance, and leave a review so others can find their way here too.
Hello everyone, here are some tips to help alleviate mental health issues, self-care, get enough sleep, at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate your mood and reduce stress. Exercise regularly. Engage in physical activities that you enjoy, such as walking, morning, or yoga to help reduce stress and anxiety. Eat a healthy diet. Focus on consuming nutrients that can really sustain both your body and your mind. Good food such as fruit, vegetable, hoggins, protein, and healthy fats such as avocado. Practice relaxation techniques. Try techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation or meditation to help calm your mind and body. Social connection. Stay connected with friends and family. Reach how to love ones and maintain social connections to help with feelings of loneliness and isolation. Join a support group. Consider joining a support group or online community to connect with others who may be experiencing similar challenges. Engage in activities that help others, which can help increase feelings of purpose and fulfillment. Mindfulness and stress management. Practice mindfulness, focus on the present moment, and let go of worries about the past or future. We always encourage that. Whatever that you don't have control over, just let it go. Set boundaries, learn to say no and set healthy boundaries with others to help manage stress and prioritize your own needs. Oftentimes, when we say no, it doesn't mean that we don't care. When we say no, it doesn't mean that we don't have feeling. But the most important thing, we have to learn how to prioritize ourselves first. Take breaks, take regular breaks, and engage in activities that bring you joy and relaxation. Professional help. Seek professional help. Consider seeking help from a mental health position or such as a therapist or counselor. If you are struggling with mental health issues, oftentimes I've seen people, you know, say, Oh, you know what? Of course, I know I haven't been feeling well for a very long time, but I've been talking to my friends or my mother or my aunt or my grandma. It's okay to have those people in our lives, you know, so we can have a decent conversation when we're not feeling ourselves. But when we got to a point where professional assistance is needed, please go ahead and do so and do so because it's very important. Medication. If you prescribe by healthcare professional medication, can help alleviate symptoms of mental health conditions. So it's important when you are prescribed with medications, not only take your medication on the regular, but take your medication as prescribed. If you were to be prescribed to take your medication every day or twice a day for seven days or whatever the amount of time, please follow the instruction. Engage in therapy such as cognitive behavior therapy. CBD CBD tend to be very good, you know, to help assist, you know, in terms of alleviate mental health conditions, and CBC also help develop copying skills and ways to really address your issue and bring possible solutions to help with that problem. In terms of additional tips, so let's consider to practice self-compassion. Sometimes we may claim that we love ourselves, but we don't do things to treat ourselves as such. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding, just as you will be that person to a close friend, a close friend that you will treat with kindness, love. You have to learn how to do that for your own self. Treat yourself like the way you will normally treat a close friend, a best friend. Engage in activities you enjoy. Make time for hobbies and activities that bring you joy and fulfillment. Stay present, focus on the present moment and let go of worries about the past or the future. Like I said prior, whatever that you don't have control over, just let it go. Remember, my journey is not gonna be as the same as yours, yours will be different than somebody else. With mental health, it is always a unique journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. Be patient and don't hesitate to reach out for help when you need it.
