Biophilic Solutions: Nature Has the Answers

Social Prescribing and Nature as Medicine with Author Julia Hotz

Serenbe Media Network Season 4 Episode 83

What would you think if your doctor wrote you a prescription to take a walk outside? To visit an art museum? To take a yoga class? It may sound unconventional, but the practice of prescribing nonmedical interventions to improve health, known as social prescribing, is becoming more and more commonplace. This week, we’re chatting with Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. With Julia as our guide, we’ll explore the profound relationship between environment and wellness, the amazing health outcomes of social prescriptions, and the healthcare professionals at the forefront of this growing movement. 

In a busy world, where so many of our ailments are lifestyle based, social prescribing helps connect us back to the things that make us human.
