Elements of Nature Podcast

Hosted by Dr. Aruni Bhatnagar

This podcast series looks at how natural forces shape and influence our health and wellness and affect our flourishing. Each episode is focused on an element of nature - earth, water, wind, fire, thunder, ice, force, time, flowers, trees, light, and moon - and how these elements regulate the rhythms of our lives and enhance wellness, health, and resilience. 

We discuss:

  • how sleep and sunlight regulate our mood and fitness,
  • how air pollution of natural domains impairs our health and increases the risk of chronic disease,
  • how green spaces and vegetation affect our moods, attention, and immunity,
  • and much more!

We will explore the many and sometimes magical mysterious nuances of nature and learn how, if we pay attention to nature, we can all live a more healthy and harmonious life. In each episode, we talk to an accomplished scientist, a professor or a renowned author with expertise in studying the relationship of each element of nature with human health and wellness.

Guests include:

  • Patrick Holden, MBE
  • Dr. Arden Pope
  • Dr. Alison Kenner
  • Dr. Sharon Friel
  • and many more
