Podcast host heralds Isle of Man as perfect destination for 'mental health break'

Mental health advocate Dr Alex George has released a podcast episode recorded on the Isle of Man.

'Stompcast' aims to empower people to prioritise their emotional, mental and physical wellbeing, with the new episode featuring Peter Hickman as a special guest.

The episode is the result of a partnership with Visit Isle of Man, to encourage people to use their holidays to go somewhere to enjoy nature and recharge.

It comes as a survey of 2,000 UK adults shows less than half find time to go outside every day, and 44% find holidays in the UK and British Isles more relaxing than trips abroad.

Dr Alex George says having experienced the natural wonder of the Isle of Man, he can't think of a better place to switch off and immerse in nature to boost your mood and build mental resilience.
