Can nature be medicine? What is forest bathing? Sure, being in nature feels good, but can it really contribute to improved health outcomes? Tune in to hear us discuss the research supported benefits of spending time in nature, from reduction of cortisol, to improved immune function, to increased antioxidant function and more!
For most of human history, we have evolved and lived in natural environments. Only in recent history have we started to spend the majority of our time in urban spaces, and this may be having a detrimental effect on human health. In this episode, we cover the multitude of reasons you need to get out in nature, how you can creatively bring nature into your daily routine even if you live in a city, and why a forest bathing session might be just what your body needs!
