Depression may not be just a brain chemistry problem—your muscles and mitochondria could play a bigger role than you think.

Psychiatrist Dr. Nick Fabiano explains that exercise triggers the release of myokines, increases BDNF, and supports changes in the brain associated with better mood and resilience.

Creatine may also play a role by helping the brain produce and maintain the energy it needs, potentially making it a useful complement to standard depression treatment.

But simply “exercising more” isn’t the whole answer. The F**T framework—frequency, intensity, time, and type—offers a way to structure exercise specifically for mental-health benefits.

Add regular sunlight exposure and targeted supplementation, and the emerging picture is clear: supporting mental health may require looking beyond the brain and treating the body’s entire energy system.

Wow what an achievement.  See what happens when you keep going and allow nothing to stop you 🏃‍♂️

🥇 She ran further than any woman ever has in six days. She also beat every man in the race.

Megan Eckert of the United States has run 636.482 miles in six days at the GOMU 6-Day World Championship in Balatonfüred, Hungary, becoming the first woman ever to cover more than 1,000 kilometres in a six-day race.

Her total works out at 1,024.319 kilometres. That is 54 kilometres more than her own previous world record, set in France last year.

She also went past the overall US six-day record of 606.243 miles, set by Joe Fejes on a different course in 2015.

And she won the whole championship. No man in the field of 108 starters finished within 83 kilometres of her. Norway's Simen Holvik was second overall on 940 km. Japan's Tomomi Bitoh was second in the women's race, 222 kilometres behind.

Eckert is a 40-year-old special education and maths teacher from Santa Fe, New Mexico. She ran her first six-day race in 2024. She ran her second in France in 2025 and broke Camille Herron's world record. She has now broken her own.

Her run is pending ratification by the IAU. Only four men in history have gone further in six days.

She kept running.
