Have you ever wondered why you feel better outside? Sure, the fresh air feels nice, but what is actually happening in your body? And how can you maximise the health benefits of nature in your everyday life?

Today we have all those answers, and more! We are joined by the amazing Dr. Melissa Lem, who is leading a national movement to connect health and nature. Melissa is a family physician, the founder of Canada’s national nature prescription program, and a mama to an active kiddo, and she’s based right here in Vancouver.

Tune into this fascinating episode to hear:

• The evidence that proves nature is good for your health
• How you can maximise the health benefits of nature (and what type of “nature” is best)
• Why healthcare professionals have the power to help your family create healthy habits
• How Melissa creates time outside with her kid everyday
