Most of us think of medicine as something that comes in a pill bottle or a hospital setting. But what if one of the most powerful prescriptions for lowering blood pressure, calming anxiety, and even boosting immunity doesn’t come from a pharmacy at all?
What if it comes from the forest and elements of nature?
Spending intentional time in nature doesn’t just feel good; it rewires the nervous system, lowers stress hormones like cortisol, and even enhances immune defenses against disease.
Forest therapy taps into this ancient truth with modern scientific validation: our bodies, minds, and spirits were designed to thrive in connection with the natural world.
Yet in our overstimulated, urbanized lives, that connection is fraying. We scroll endlessly, jump from task to task, and fill every quiet moment with noise.
Nature isn’t just a backdrop for relaxation; it’s an active participant in our healing.
Even a short walk among greenery reduces inflammation markers linked to chronic disease.
How do we tap into nature’s healing abilities? How do we use forest therapy to quiet our inner chatter?
In this episode, I’m joined by healthcare leader, educator, certified executive coach, and certified Forest Therapy guide, Dr. Susan Abookire.
We explore the physiological, emotional, mental, and spiritual power of reconnecting with nature, and how to make it a habit.
We also talk about overlooked yet transformative interventions for stress, chronic disease, and emotional well-being.
