Illustrative associations between higher NatureScore™ environments and improved population health outcomes. Compared with lower-scoring environments, higher NatureScore™ areas demonstrated associations with increased longevity (+39%) and reductions in obesity (−33%), diabetes (−35%), frequent mental distress (−43%), physical inactivity (−40%), cardiovascular disease mortality (−31%), colorectal cancer mortality (−33%), and premature death from all causes (−19%). Percentages represent standardized effect sizes comparing upper and lower NatureScore™ quintiles, calculated as the standardized mean difference divided by the pooled standard deviation.

In our last post, we talked about the importance of vitamin D in keeping our minds sharp and fending off the loss of our precious memories. In part four of our vitamin D supplement series, we are focusing on the link between this important nutrient and metabolic health. Recent studies have shown that vitamin D plays a central role in regulating blood glucose levels and helping to prevent diabetes and metabolic syndrome. With such a focus on weight management through advertising on summer bodies and diet culture, having something more tangible but less flashy can make all the difference. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/supplement-series-vitamin-d-part-3-of-5 monthly 0.5 2023-02-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/a201d9d3-41e3-43b5-8cac-7da295ebc059/Chai-Vit-D-Dementia-Alzheimers-Chart-1.png Blog - Supplement Series: Vitamin D (Part 3 of 5) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/o42c0416kto3ltma3vojfq8xkgclwh monthly 0.5 2023-01-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/467d8a36-b76b-442d-982c-50accc8e501b/F1.large.jpg Blog - Supplement Series: Vitamin D (Part 2 of 5) - Make it stand out Artaza, Jorge N., Rajnish Mehrotra, and Keith C.

You check and respond to emails. You attend meeting after meeting that doesn't seem to resolve anything. Colleagues are expecting completed work from you. Your manager is demanding where the overdue report is. So many looming, pressing deadlines are in the not-so-distant future. All the while, there is no time for your own work which seems to be piling up. Sigh...well, you figure that's what weekends are for, right? Sound familiar? Unfortunately, it's a tale that is all too familiar, however, the impact is immeasurable: - Your personal time gets eaten away bit by bit. - You have no energy to be present with family and friends. - Self-care goes out the window. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/too-much-of-a-good-thing-how-to-tell-if-youre-over-doing-this-healthy-habit monthly 0.5 2022-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1658939635021-ERW04WAZ3D92957NAZMY/pexels-bruno-bueno-2204179.jpg Blog - Too much of a good thing?

A study published in 2017 tracked 3,200 people for 25 years, from their time as young adults. What they discovered is those who exercised more than three times the recommended amount of 150 minutes per week (30 minutes/day) were at risk of coronary artery calcification (CAC) - 27% higher in fact! CAC occurs when calcium plaques form in the arteries, a warning sign and predictor of future heart disease.[6] https://owenwiseman.com/blog/the-easy-secret-to-improving-your-relationship-with-food monthly 0.5 2022-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1658264578840-DD6SVKMYLVF7V6ZXX2CL/pexels-jep-gambardella-5087594.jpg Blog - The easy secret to improving your relationship with food. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/ae3443a6-3b19-432e-9eea-6c6803bc0ae4/image-asset.png Blog - The easy secret to improving your relationship with food. - Make it stand out Source: PubMed https://owenwiseman.com/blog/why-we-need-to-stand-up-against-ageism-in-healthcare monthly 0.5 2022-07-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1657020337315-XRI2JH2QQURN18FX7HM3/pexels-edu-carvalho-2050978.jpg Blog - Why We Need to Stand Up Against Ageism in Healthcare - What is ageism and why should we care about it? Ageism is the discrimination against people because of their age. It can manifest as treating older adults differently than younger adults, or portraying them in a negative light in the media and in everyday life. Ageism is often considered to be a form of prejudice, and it can have serious consequences for older adults’ mental and physical health. One of the biggest problems with ageism in healthcare is that it leads to a lack of proper care for elderly patients. Many times, these patients are not seen as worth investing in, and as a result, their health can suffer greatly. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/sand-to-soil-the-transformation-of-deserts-to-forests monthly 0.5 2022-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/3be34849-af82-47d1-b8e2-8603fe4589f6/pexels-spencer-davis-4388162.jpg Blog - Sand to soil.

Oral mucositis is a common, often debilitating complication of cancer treatment that can occur in any area of the mouth. It is characterized by inflammation and ulceration of the mucous membranes lining the mouth. Oral mucositis can cause pain and difficulty eating, drinking and speaking which is linked to nutrient deficiencies.[1] It can also lead to infection and increased morbidity. Oral mucositis is caused by the direct toxicity of cancer treatment on the mucous membranes of the mouth. There are many ways to prevent or reduce the severity of oral mucositis. These include the use of prophylactic oral care regimens, cryotherapy, soft food diets and the use of certain medications. In addition, new technologies such as low-level laser therapy are being investigated as potential treatments for oral mucositis. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/g7fyzj3aucx0ukb60ve6qsoe98x0ah monthly 0.5 2022-05-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1652959066721-2ODPEMBFVH1X2W2BXE20/pexels-liza-summer-6383190.jpg Blog - Managing hormonal migraine. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/how-to-get-beautiful-healthy-skin-from-the-inside-out monthly 0.5 2022-05-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/4f1c7bee-dc94-4c63-87db-94466095d862/pexels-nappy-2531353.jpg Blog - How to get beautiful, healthy skin from the inside out - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/ways-your-naturopathic-doctor-approaches-gerd monthly 0.5 2022-05-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/8c50effd-ecf3-4c67-a50c-0b57d01f08e4/pexels-cottonbro-6542721.jpg Blog - Ways your Naturopathic Doctor Approaches GERD - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://owenwiseman.com/blog/when-sustainability-and-business-collide-why-sustainable-businesses-should-be-a-standard monthly 0.5 2022-04-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1649018547125-709R4VB5OYPX172LSMX8/pexels-scott-webb-305833.jpg Blog - When sustainability and business collide.

No cost. No side effects.” Most would probably dismiss this individual as a fraud, but this is exactly what nature can do for us. I’m a proud member of Park Prescriptions (PaRx) which is breaking ground as Canada's first national, evidence-based nature prescription program. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1628170487602-EK0XLSP2U8LGTRUTSQLT/OIHC+Action+Shots+KMD+Film+Photography+June+1+2021-18.jpg Naturopathic Medicine - Strategic supplementation One of the most common questions I ask in practice is, “What is the goal of taking this supplement?” Let’s move beyond, “I read it was good”. Can you get it through your diet? Are you taking enough where research shows it has an effect? Do you know the potential interactions with your food, medications and other supplements?

With a NatureScore of just 5.7, the surrounding environment contains very few health-supporting natural features within walking distance. Residents and workers in this area have limited access to trees, greenspace, and immersive nature, highlighting how urban density without adequate natural infrastructure can contribute to a "nature deficit." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/a9277e22-205b-4b51-9e70-a050abacb2c8/Rosedale_NatureScore Nature Access and Health Equity Nature-rich urban neighborhood (NatureScore® 87.2) In contrast, this map highlights Toronto's Rosedale Valley, where extensive tree canopy, connected greenspace, and natural landscapes surround the neighborhood. The NatureScore of 87.2 reflects abundant opportunities for everyday contact with nature, supporting cooler temperatures, greater biodiversity, improved air quality, and easier access to restorative outdoor environments despite being located within Canada's largest city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/bc4cb5e3-90b1-4454-99bc-563491077d23/the-soulless-suburbs-of-omaha-v0-mil9zg41unt71.webp Nature Access and Health Equity Despite its manicured lawns, this suburban streetscape contains no mature trees or visible street tree planting. The result is a biodiversity-poor environment with minimal shade, limited habitat, greater heat exposure, and few opportunities for meaningful everyday contact with nature. It highlights the difference between landscaping for appearance and designing neighbourhoods that function as healthy urban ecosystems. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/1930e540-66e5-428b-b997-7cb33c6a27e9/Suburban-street.jpg Nature Access and Health Equity This suburban neighbourhood has begun investing in street trees, but the canopy is still in its early stages. Young deciduous trees line the street and will eventually provide greater shade and habitat, yet the streetscape remains largely dominated by expansive turf grass and exposed pavement. Compared with the first image, it offers greater biodiversity potential and seasonal interest, but it has not yet reached the ecological or human health benefits associated with a mature, interconnected urban forest. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/d3c7161d-2c82-4c27-968f-e0a54ea44c2d/pexels-freek-wolsink-508219-32332116.jpg Nature Access and Health Equity This streetscape demonstrates how urban design can intentionally integrate nature with active transportation. Mature trees, planted boulevards, gardens, and dedicated cycling infrastructure work together to create a cooler, greener, and more inviting public space. The dense canopy helps reduce summer temperatures, improves air quality, supports biodiversity, and encourages walking and cycling, illustrating how thoughtful urban greening can transform everyday streets into healthier places for both people and nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/6fbb032b-a193-4046-8ff5-9ce77173a190/SkidRow_NatureScore.png Nature Access and Health Equity Downtown Los Angeles / Skid Row (NatureScore® 0.4) This map depicts a location in downtown Los Angeles adjacent to Skid Row, one of the city's poorest and most underserved neighbourhoods. With a NatureScore of just 0.4, the surrounding landscape is overwhelmingly dominated by buildings, roads, and other impervious surfaces, offering almost no health-supporting natural environments within walking distance. The image illustrates how environmental deprivation often overlaps with socioeconomic disadvantage, leaving residents with limited access to the cooling, restorative, and health-promoting benefits of urban nature. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/d4b45384-50fb-4fac-986e-5925b69f3da4/BelAir_NatureScore.png Nature Access and Health Equity Bel Air (NatureScore® 90.0) This map highlights Bel Air, one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. Surrounded by mature tree canopy, extensive vegetation, and adjacent natural landscapes, the location achieves a NatureScore of 90.0, reflecting exceptional opportunities for daily nature exposure. The abundance of urban forest provides cooler temperatures, greater biodiversity, cleaner air, and restorative green space, demonstrating how access to nature is often concentrated in affluent communities. https://owenwiseman.com/new-page-1 daily 0.75 2026-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/330a5c22-9e32-4be2-8f69-198e37807db9/pexels-muhammad-nabeel-2709766-36592263.jpg Heat and Climate Resilience As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme heat events, urban forests and parks represent critical climate resilience infrastructure that protects both environmental and human health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/c20d826e-d05b-4ae9-a66d-77d067a9e873/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4803729.jpg Heat and Climate Resilience As climate change increases the frequency and severity of extreme heat events, exposure to high temperatures can impair physical performance and increase the risk of dehydration and heat-related illness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/fdc0ca6e-726f-480a-8f54-1c68a4900bf9/pexels-robimsel-38514735.jpg Heat and Climate Resilience - Make it stand out An aerial photograph shows a striking contrast between two neighboring crop fields. One field remains vibrant green and healthy, while the adjacent field has turned brown and appears severely stressed or dead. The sharp boundary between the two fields highlights how differences in water availability, heat exposure, management practices, or climate conditions can dramatically affect agricultural productivity, much like the divide between human health. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/5d4ca57a-d0fa-42bd-86bb-0ee11e690bf3/pexels-monica-tran-2153311664-32706163.jpg Heat and Climate Resilience - Make it stand out A lush urban park in Singapore integrates dense tropical tree canopy, open water, and pedestrian pathways within the heart of the city. Multiple fountains cool the central waterway while mature trees provide extensive shade, creating a noticeably greener and cooler environment than the surrounding urban landscape. The Singapore Flyer and downtown skyline rise above the park, illustrating how dense cities can successfully integrate nature into their climate adaptation strategies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dc334632667780afb1bb7d1/5a17a533-f3f1-4614-9762-77befa944cab/pexels-alexandrep-junior-12027849.jpg Heat and Climate Resilience - We Can Design for a Cooler Future Heat does not become dangerous only when a temperature record is broken. Risk accumulates when neighbourhoods lack shade, homes trap heat, nights remain warm, people live alone and cooling is unaffordable or inaccessible. Climate resilience begins by recognizing these conditions before the next emergency arrives.
