Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Mental Health, and Benefits of Ketone Drinks

We begin with our weekly conversation with Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek. This time out, the Mayor explains the city’s strategy moving ahead of growing new communities and at the same time addressing the issue of affordable housing.   Music star Sinead O’Connor’s death has reopened discussions surrounding the importance of addressing mental health issues, which plagued O’Connor for the majority of her life. We discuss the resources available in the city and what we can do to help those around us suffering with Karen Gallagher-Burt, Mental Health Advocate and Social Worker with The Distress Centre.   Finally, ‘Ketone’ drinks are often used by elite athletes to enhance performance, but could they also help the average person become healthier? We discuss with Anna Nicholas, PhD Candidate in Nutrition and Metabolism from the University of Bath.
