Our Power Is Within: Heal Chronic Illness & Pain

How Utilizing Green Space Has Helped me Navigate Lupas with Verla Fortier, 150


Listen Later

Our guest today, Verla Fortier is a retired nursing professor who was diagnosed with systemic lupus just as she was retiring to her hometown of Pine Falls, Manitoba, Canada. Verla uses green space research to help her to take control of her health and happiness.

Verla teaches us:

  • What green space is and what qualifies as green space
  • How to use green space in your environment and to support your healing
  • The many benefits of green space for regulation and healing
  • Her CONTROL acronym and how it supports her daily on her healing journey
  • Her SPACE acronym with practical examples for all of us to use
  • She draws on university approved studies with thousands of people over decades that prove the game changing mind and body effects of time spent outside. These research results were so astonishing that she knew that needed to share it with others so she wrote a book, “Take Back Your Outside Mindset: Live Longer, Stress Less, and Control Your Chronic Illness,” and started a podcast “Your Outside Mindset.” She has since also written a book “Optimize Your Heart Rate: Balance Your Mind and Body With Green Space”

    Both books are best sellers on Amazon in the categories of lupus and heart disease.
