The Nordic approach to health rarely focusses on one part of the body, but more on the whole body and mind.  Women's health in particular shows this with high quality of life, long lives and general good health in the Nordics.  But we don't need to live in the Nordics to embrace the same holistic approach to our health.  Join me, Fiona, in this episode as I share the ways in which Nordic women make the most of good health.

Not all Easter traditions revolve around the festival of Easter itself.  In the Nordics there are some fun and less conventional traditions that happen at Easter at a time when we are beginning to get longer days, warmer weather and time to spend outside in nature.
