What happens when culture starves boys of emotion, and biology starves brains of nutrients?In this powerful episode of Truehope Cast, host Simon Brazier sits down with psychologist, writer, and mentor Gloria Vanderhorst for a bold conversation about raising emotionally healthy sons in a world that often misunderstands them.Gloria began her career working with young boys labelled “hyperactive” and “attention-deficient.” What she discovered was far deeper: our culture systematically restricts male emotional development, leaving many boys disconnected from their feelings, and many men struggling in marriage, fatherhood, and identity.Together, we explore:Why are boys often misdiagnosed instead of understoodHow fathers shape (or stunt) emotional resilienceWhy husbands “disappoint” and what’s really happening beneath the surfaceHow unresolved childhood experiences silently invade adult relationshipsThe intersection of psychology and physiology in building true resilienceWhy addressing chronic nutrient deficiencies may be a missing piece in mental health careAt Truehope, we believe mental health is both psychological and biological. This conversation brings those worlds together.If you’re a parent, a father, a husband or simply someone who wants to understand the male emotional landscape more deeply, this episode is for you.Website: https://www.gloriavanderhorst.comBlog: https://www.gloriavanderhorst.com/blogLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gloria-vanderhorst🎧 Listen now and subscribe for more conversations at the intersection of brain health, relationships, and resilience.Learn more about Truehope at https://www.truehopecanada.com🔗 Connect with Gloria Vanderhorst
