In this episode, I explore one of the simplest, most overlooked tools for boosting our health – walking.

We spend a fortune on gym memberships, personal trainers, and high-tech fitness gadgets – yet sometimes forget that our bodies are already brilliantly equipped for one of the best forms of exercise out there. 

My guest is researcher and author Annabel Streets who’s just released her latest book, The Walking Cure. Drawing on a wealth of scientific evidence, Annabel explores how different landscapes can actively change our brain chemistry, reduce stress, and support both mental and physical health.

It’s not just about personal preference – there are real, measurable benefits to walking in particular places, at particular times.  This episode is all about unlocking those benefits, and rethinking the way we move through the world. 

We discuss:

·      The mental health benefits of mountain landscapes

·      The impact of walking by the sea on your sleep

·      Forest bathing vs. static bathing

·      The beneficial chemicals released by walking amongst trees

·      How city landscapes can restore your vitality
