A Balm for Busy, Stressed Brains and Bodies with Dr Jenny Brockis

How much time do you spend outside? If you’re like most people, probably not enough. And it’s taking a toll on our mental and physical health. What’s profound about time in nature is how even small doses can have a relaxing, stress-reducing impact on our physiology; reducing anxiety.

We feel better when we spend more time outdoors. Research shows that spending time in green or blue spaces, listening to the sounds of nature, breathing fresh air, observing nature’s patterns, and even connecting with the microbes in soil all contribute to long-term health benefits. Joining Dr. Jodi for this week’s episode is Lifestyle Medicine Practitioner Dr. Jenny Brockis. Author of The Natural Advantage, Dr. Jenny highlights our “nature deficit” and explores how spending more time outside can dramatically reduce stress and improve our health. https://drjennybrockis.com/ https://www.instagram.com/drjennybrockis/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/drjennybrockis/
