“I really find that nature is very powerful for me to manage my mind in all sorts of different ways.”

“To cope with the stress of COVID, and to cope with the excess of being on Zoom and on the screen… what I do is spend a lot of time in nature.” In this installment of More Than Medicine, Harris A. Eyre, MD, PhD, shares how outdoor activities like forest walking, mountain biking, hiking, running, and traveling help him clear his head, manage stress, and channel creativity.

Dr Eyre is lead of the Brain Capital Alliance, co-lead of the OECD Neuroscience-inspired Policy Initiative, senior fellow for Brain Capital with the Meadows Mental Health Policy Institute and advisor to the Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association.
