We often talk about diet, movement and medication when it comes to health - but what about where we spend our time?In this episode, we explore blue spaces (oceans, rivers, lakes) and green spaces (parks, forests, gardens) and why time in nature isn’t just “nice” - it’s genuinely good for our physical and mental wellbeing.With a particular focus on people living with chronic health conditions, we unpack how nature can support nervous system regulation, reduce stress, improve mood, and offer connection - even when capacity is limited.This isn’t about hiking mountains or doing more. It’s about noticing what helps — and finding gentle, accessible ways to bring nature into your life.⁠⁠⁠Livology (Psychology - Private Practice)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MS: Get Your Head Around It!
