Where is My Mind?

What Matters To You? with Julia Hotz


Listen Later

Prescription drugs have long been relied on in all areas of healthcare, and while modern medicine can have incredible benefits, we also need to start looking at the bigger picture when it comes to our physical and mental health. 


In this week’s episode Niall sits down with journalist and author Julia Hotz to explore a growing movement in healthcare: social prescribing. Julia’s book, The Connection Cure, delves into the science, into the science and stories behind this practice, where doctors prescribe activities like art classes, community groups, and outdoor exercise to improve physical and mental well-being. Together, they discuss how our healthcare systems reached a crisis point and what changes could help us heal in a more holistic way. Julia also shares inspiring global examples of social prescribing in action and offers insights on how we can incorporate this approach into our own lives—starting with a simple question: What truly matters to you?
