In this restorative and research-packed episode of Nourished with Dr. Anikó explores the essential role of nature in regulating our nervous system and enhancing our overall well-being.

With warmth and scientific insight, Dr. Anikó reminds us that we are nature and that reconnecting with the natural world isn’t just beneficial, it’s vital to our health.

Drawing from her background as a double board-certified Integrative Pediatrician and Postpartum Specialist, Dr. Anikó dives into the biology behind why green spaces reduce stress, how chronic overstimulation affects digestion, and what centuries of healing practices have taught us about rest and rhythm.

Whether you’re a parent, a health-conscious professional, or simply someone craving more calm, this episode offers powerful reasons and practical encouragement to step outside, breathe deeply, and return to your roots.
