The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the effects of a 2-week intervention involving berberine supplementation or sprint training in isolation as well as berberine combined with sprint training on well-being, anaerobic power, and monocyte number and function in individuals experiencing mild mental health challenges. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does short-term berberine use or sprint training improve measures of mental health, psychological wellbeing, fatigue, and sleep quality? * Does short-term berberine use or sprint training improve measures of anaerobic power generation? * Does short-term berberine use or sprint training improve circulating biomarkers of inflammation? * Does short-term berberine use or sprint training improve monocyte number, function, and cytokine production?
