Episode Description

What if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health was also one of the simplest?

Go outside.

In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Owen Wiseman, naturopathic doctor and a leader in the fields of nature, health, and technology.

We explore the fascinating science behind how nature influences our stress response, cardiovascular health, mental wellbeing, movement, and overall quality of life. But this conversation goes beyond simply telling people to "get outside."

We ask a much bigger question:

What if we designed our communities to make being healthy easier?

• Why nature should be considered part of our health infrastructure.

• How green space influences both our physical and mental health.

• The connection between trees, heat, movement, and healthy communities.

• Why access to nature is a public health issue.

• Simple ways to bring more nature into your everyday life.


One of my favourite takeaways from Owen was this:

You don't need to become an "outdoors person."

Take your coffee outside.

Walk the greener route.

Have your next phone call while walking.

Spend 10 minutes in a nearby park.

Then simply notice how you feel.

Sometimes prevention really can be this simple.
