#53. Movement, Medicine, and Muddy Hands: The Gardening GP’s Lifestyle Medicine Mission with Susan Taheri

from Make Movement Matter with Wendy Welpton · host Wendy Welpton

What if one of the answers to better health wasn’t more medication… but more mud under your nails?In this episode of Make Movement Matter, I talk to Susan Taheri, a rural GP who turned her growing frustration with the healthcare system into something living and healing - a garden. Not a metaphorical one. A real, community garden next to her practice in Devon, where patients can reconnect, move more, and experience a different kind of care.We chat about why she built the garden from scratch, how movement sneaks into every part of gardening, and what happens when doctors start meeting patients outside and connecting in the open air. To find out more about today's guest and for the full show notes, visit:⁠The Make Movement Matter Podcast⁠If you enjoy this podcast, please press Follow and Rate and Review.  To support the show and help me to keep making the podcast, please contribute by ⁠Buying Me a Coffee...or Tea! Connect with your host, Wendy, founder of Reclaim Movement, on:⁠Instagram⁠ | ⁠YouTube⁠ | ⁠Website⁠Start to ⁠‘Move more naturally to live better’ with Wendy’s self-paced 5-Day Introductory Online Course by clicking here.
