Summary

Have you ever been under a huge amount of stress and then stepped outside for a minute, and almost immediately felt your heart rate slow down, your breath deepen, and your mind start to calm? If you answered yes, you're not alone. There is a growing body of research into nature's impact on the human body. One of the problems of modern life is that it's possible to spend our entire day and night indoors, with no exposure to nature at all. What are the benefits of nature? Can regular time in nature improve our autoimmune health? If we live in the city, can we still access those benefits? What about people who are homebound? We'll be discussing all possibilities in today's episode. My guest is Dr. Austin Perlmutter, an internal medicine physician with a passion for holistic health. He's also the co-author of the bestselling book, Brain Wash.
