Dr Joe Delaney

Welcome to Proper Mental Episode 8, this week we chat to the UK’s first NHS specialist in Integrative Health Practice, Dr Joe Delaney!

Dr Joe is a Consultant in Integrative Medicine. He holds a PhD in Medicine and specialises in the neuroscience of stress and addictive behaviour and its management. 

He is a Nationally and Internationally renowned expert in empowerment, motivation, behaviour change and emotional resilience.

We chat about stress and how it affects your biochemistry, how to tap in to your inner resourcefulness and live more authentically.  We also chat about the heart-brain, mind-body connection and Joe gives us insight in to breathing techniques that will allow people to “hack their physiology in order to change their psychology”.

It’s a really deep dive!  Joe also talks us through his own journey through mental health, addiction, homelessness and a stint in psychiatric care.  It’s one hell of a story.

Dr Joe is a funny, engaging speaker and this conversation was a lot of fun!  I think you’re going to get a lot from it and there are some really simple, actionable breathing techniques that Joe goes through that will be a very useful tool for anyone that might need them.
