Biophilic Design and the Healing Powers of Nature

Susan Ryan welcomes back Tammy Marshall, founder and CEO of Biophilia Pharma. Marshall's journey to wellness, as well as to establishing Biophilia Pharma, exemplifies her passion around exploring the healing connection between nature and humans. In her first episode with Ryan, Marshall described a unique approach to addressing COVID cases and contrasted a 'salutogenic' vs pathogenic approach that optimizes health and well-being. In this episode, she provides a refresher of this conversation and takes a deeper into why this matters. Marshall describes biophilic design, its history, and a bit of the research that demonstrates humans' hardwired need to connect with nature to support health and well-being. She further goes on to describe a lifestyle that is biophilic and why that's important. Marshall is on a mission to help everyone think differently and it is within this context that The Green House Project is working with her on projects that will deepen the understanding of biophilic design, lifestyle, and emerging research that has the potential to boldly impact the field of aging services. This includes implementing tangible strategies that will leverage the abundance that nature has to offer in creating vitality.  As Aristotle once said, "In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous."   Find Tammy Marshall on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tammy-l-marshall-0ba8b373/ Find out more about Biophilia Pharma here: https://www.biophiliapharma.com
