Food For Thought - the Podcast
The Healthiest Podcast on the Internet! We talk about all things Health Promotion, particularly as they relate to the CAF - in essence giving you a little "Food For Thought" on topics that range from stress, sleep, the impact of the built environment, how to be an HP Ambassador (even if that seems hard and somewhat terrifiying), we'll talk about inclusion and othering and why the latter needs to be avoided. We have conversations with different health and helping professionals and we even have some military members drop in with their insights. So if you are ready to get healthy(er) then pick an episode (short or long) and let's get started!
Food For Thought - the Podcast
The Healing Power of Nature
If you've ever been outside after a bad day and felt better by virtue of just where you found yourself, then you have experienced the healing power of nature. Join Nicole and I as we talk about all things nature in this episode as Nicole shares what she learned about how much of a positive impact nature can have on our overall wellbeing. As we are in and around the time of Earth Day, we thought it was a fitting topic to consider what we can do to let the earth heal us, as we give pause to think about how we might take that new found "aaaahhhh" and return the favour:)
Here's a link to an article from National Geographic (who know a thing or two about nature) on Shinrin yoku https://www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/forest-bathing-nature-walk-health
