Many people are exchanging vacations on a tour bus for more adventurous ones, such as climbing Mt. Rainier or scaling a glacier in New Zealand.

While this is a great way for adventurous tourists to deepen their connection to nature, it can also lead to more serious injuries, especially in cold weather.

More and more doctors are entering the wilderness medicine space to address the lack of access to good medical care in remote places, but what exactly is wilderness medicine?

As Thanksgiving approaches, it’s easy to get lost in the craziness of the holidays.

Even with all the yummy food, cooking, and errands for Thanksgiving dinner, and Black Friday shopping, find time for your health.

One of the best ways to find time for your health is to spend time in nature. Time outside has amazing physical and mental health benefits.

Will you get outside this holiday season?

What's growing at La Puma Farms?

Citrus! These pictures are from a Lotus Mixology event where I got to connect with other citrus (and nature) lovers such as Boondock Botanicals and Rory Wine Gal.

Is anything currently growing in your garden? Or is it beginning to get too cold where you live?

So often, people think they have to be an expert hiker or gardener to truly enjoy the outdoors.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.

When I started gardening, I couldn’t grow anything. But I still received the peace and health benefits of time spent outside.

The secret to appreciating nature doesn’t come with a certain expertise, but with the ability to be fully present in your surroundings.

When was the last time you felt present in nature?

What’s growing in Dr. John’s garden?

8 ball squash!

As big as a softball and just as meaty, 8 balls are great additions to your plate and garden!

Eight balls are a summer squash like zucchini and they grow just as easily. Pick off powdery mildewed leaves and the plant will grow more.

Pro tip: eat the male flowers. They are long, spindly, and superfluous.

Have you tried growing or eating 8 ball squash?

When you want to improve your health, you most likely think of eating healthy, working out, and maybe even investing in your mental health.

But there are other elements which can impact how healthy you are.

An unexpected one? Getting enough sunlight.

Forty-two percent of North Americans have vitamin D levels below 20 ng/mL, which makes them deficient by most standards.

But Vitamin D isn't the only thing sunlight provides.

It's also a source of nitric oxide which offers a variety of health benefits such as lowering blood pressure, preventing heart disease, and improving longevity.
