Description

Each day, millions of doctors write prescriptions for drugs intended to help their patients. But what if many of our modern health ailments, like depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, would benefit as much, if not more, from a social prescription?



What if nature, art, movement, and service could reduce our symptoms, decrease doctor visits, and improve our health?



These are questions Julia Hotz set out to answer. Julia is author of the book, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. By sharing research findings, as well as people’s stories from around the world, we get to see a whole other side of medicine.



After reading her book, I’m more convinced than ever we need to seek out and prioritize healthy social time.
