Description

In this episode of Beyond Strides, we delve into the fascinating connection between nature and the human brain. It's no secret to those who know me that I not only love spending time in nature but that it is my number one tool to meditate & calm down.

Join us as we explore how spending time outdoors can influence brain activity, enhance cognitive function, and reduce stress.

My guest, neuroscientist Sarah LoTemplio, shares her research on the restorative effects of natural environments and discusses the science behind why a walk in the park might be just what your brain needs. Tune in to discover how nature can be a powerful tool for mental well-being and cognitive health.
