Dr. Gemma Newman: The Effects of Microplastics in Your Brain and the Healing Power of Nature
Manage episode 459928548 series 2785927
I'm thrilled to welcome back Dr. Gemma Newman, this time in person at our beautiful studio! In this powerful conversation, we dive deep into what truly makes us healthy after her 20 years of medical practice. Dr. Newman shares her profound insights on the transformative power of self-compassion and how it shapes our wellbeing journey.
We explore fascinating topics including the science behind nature's healing effects, the impact of microplastics on our health, and practical strategies for better sleep. Dr. Newman also introduces her innovative concept of 'electric nutrition' and explains how connecting with the earth can literally recharge our bodies. What I particularly loved about our discussion was how we explored the intersection of scientific evidence and emotional wellbeing, making complex health concepts accessible and actionable.
