Forest Bathing Benefits For The Whole Family

My guest this week is Dr. Suzanne Bartlett Hackenmiller, an OB-Gyn and Integrative Medicine physician. Dr. Hackenmiller completed OB-Gyn residency at Western Pennsylvania-Temple University in Pittsburgh and is a fellowship graduate of the University of Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. She is board certified by both the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the American Board of Integrative Medicine. Dr. Hackenmiller holds additional certifications in herbal medicine and is a certified forest therapy guide. She has served as medical director for the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy and currently is medical advisor for AllTrails. She is the award-winning author of “The Outdoor Adventurer’s Guide to Forest Bathing” and “A Friend Like John, Understanding Autism.”  She speaks nationally and internationally about autism, integrative medicine, and nature therapy. 

In this episode, Dr. Hackenmiller and I discuss forest bathing benefits for the whole family. Backed by decades of research, Dr. Hackenmiller shares evidence that even 5 minutes of outdoor exposure can lead to improved mental health, and extended periods can lower stress hormones and boost immunity. Forest bathing practices can be applied to everyday life by all families. Dr. Hackenmiller provides the audience with her go-to tips for incorporating forest bathing and nature therapy practices into daily routines while delivering encouraging advice for families dealing with all-weather scenarios.
