#169 The Psychology of Green & Blue Spaces w/ Dr Megan Lee | Why Nature Changes Your Brain

How long do you actually need to spend in nature to feel the effects on your mental health? And once you do, how long does it last? In this episode, Dr Megan Lee breaks down the research behind green and blue spaces - what they are, why they work, and what's actually happening in your body when you step onto sand barefoot or dive under a wave. We talk about the COVID study that changed the field, why social connection is consistently the number one predictor of wellbeing across all of her research, and why nature ties together all five pillars of wellbeing without you even trying.
