Adventure as medicine: the wellness benefits of travel


Listen Later

Physician Stacey Funt discusses her article, "The healing power of travel: How adventure transforms mind, body, and spirit." Stacey explores how travel serves as a potent remedy for physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. She highlights how wellness adventure travel integrates lifestyle medicine principles—movement, whole foods, relaxation, and community—while often promoting restorative sleep. Stacey shares inspiring stories, like a woman who lost fifty pounds preparing for a life-changing trip and another who embraced fitness through active travel. She emphasizes the emotional uplift from group connections and the spiritual renewal sparked by nature's awe-inspiring moments. Offering practical advice, Stacey encourages listeners to use travel as a self-care catalyst, drawing from her own healing trek in Nepal after personal loss.
