Rethinking Wellness
Live from 10th January to 23rd February 2023
Modern medicine and traditional healing have often been at odds, but now a more holistic approach is emerging. “Social prescriptions” are increasingly common, with doctors prescribing nature walks, gardening and singing among other activities associated with positive wellbeing. But what’s the science behind these interventions? And should we be re-thinking our approach to healthy living?
In this series you’ll learn how the brain interprets sounds and perceives music, and what impact this has on our brains, bodies and communities. You'll find out why having regular contact with friends and acquaintances can prevent new mental health issues and promote good all-round health. This series explores new frontiers of human biology: how understanding the trillions of microbes that live in us all could be the key to predicting our health trajectories from birth to old age, and potentially reversing predicted disease before it happens. And you'll discover why most of our preconceptions about sleep are probably wrong.
