I’m your host, Katinka Blackford Newman, a life coach, author and health journalist.
The Med-Free Mental Fitness Podcast is an interview-led show exploring mental health, behaviour change and wellbeing in the context of modern life. Through in-depth conversations, it examines how people live with overwhelm, stress and long-term challenges, and what genuinely supports recovery, resilience and agency.
At its core, the podcast is about meaning and agency beyond diagnosis and quick fixes, with space for complexity and differing perspectives.
Guests include clinicians, researchers, authors, journalists and practitioners, alongside people with lived experience. Topics include mental health and diagnosis, grief and loss, sleep and insomnia, trauma, addiction and habit change, pain, weight, medication use and withdrawal, informed consent, and evidence-informed, non-pharmacological approaches to recovery.
Video interviews are available on YouTube.
