Sun exposure. Bare feet on earth. Time with trees.

All of these practices may seem simple (and they are), but they also have the potential to affect your body, your mind, and your spirit profoundly. 

And today, functional medicine health coach Efan Hsieh  shares all about not only some nature connection practices that may be beneficial to ease stress and burnout, but also the science behind how they do what they do. 

Chronic stress (and burnout) can have a tremendous impact on your hormonal health and in this modern world, almost all of us are faced with these at some point in our lives (if not constantly!). So having tools to reduce or ease our stress is essential.

Nature connection is one of those tools. 

Listen to today's podcast to learn:

• what nature connection is and how it can support a healthier stress response
• how stress and burnout mess with your overall health
• some specific practices you can start with that are easy and accessible
• the physiology behind how sunlight impacts your sleep rhythms
• the science of "earthing" and how barefoot walking supports you
• how electromagnetic frequencies impact your health
