Episode 59: The Simplest Health Hack? Go Outside. The Science of Nature & Health with Dr. Owen Wiseman

What if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health was also one of the simplest? Go outside. In this episode of the Move With Ease Podcast, I'm joined by Dr. Owen Wiseman, naturopathic doctor and a leader in the fields of nature, health, and technology. We explore the fascinating science behind how nature influences our stress response, cardiovascular health, mental wellbeing, movement, and overall quality of life. But this conversation goes beyond simply telling people to "get outside." We ask a much bigger question:

What if we designed our communities to make being healthy easier?

  • Why nature should be considered part of our health infrastructure.

  • How green space influences both our physical and mental health.

  • The connection between trees, heat, movement, and healthy communities.

  • Why access to nature is a public health issue.

  • Simple ways to bring more nature into your everyday life.

Rooted: A Podcast About Nature & Wellbeing

What if nature isn't simply good for us—but foundational to human health and wellbeing?

In this episode of ROOTED, I sit down with naturopathic doctor and NatureQuant advisor Dr. Owen Wiseman to explore the growing evidence connecting nature exposure to better physical health, mental wellbeing, resilience, and quality of life.

But this conversation goes beyond individual health habits.

Together, we explore how cities, healthcare systems, schools, workplaces, and communities are shaped by access to nature—and what happens when generations become disconnected from the natural world. Owen introduces concepts like environmental generational amnesia and shifting baseline syndrome, explains how nature prescriptions are being integrated into healthcare in Canada, and makes a compelling case for viewing nature not as a luxury, but as essential infrastructure.

If we are nature, what are the consequences of designing lives and systems that keep us apart from it?

This conversation invites us to think differently about health, wellbeing, and the role nature plays in helping both people and communities thrive.
