In My Nature
Nature‐Based Lifestyle Medicine (NBLM) is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to human and planetary health & wellbeing. It embeds intentional, regular engagement with natural environments into every part of life, not as a luxury, but as a vital lifestyle practice. The evidence base stems from fields such as public health, ecology, psychology, education and cultural wisdom.
In essence, NBLM encourages us to live in a way that honours interdependence, our own health, the health of others, and the health of the Earth. Practices like guided nature immersion, therapeutic horticulture, mindful movement in green spaces, and nature journalling all form part of this framework.
Research shows that spending time in nature helps to reduce nervous system arousal, lower blood pressure, improve immune function and support mental clarity.
Nature becomes a medium for health-behaviour change: one article even describes nature exposure as “the 7th (unofficial) pillar” of lifestyle medicine.
In other words, when we invite nature deliberately into our everyday lives — in how we move, rest, relate, eat and belong — we open a pathway to deeper vitality, emotional resilience and connection.
The latest consensus in “Ecological Medicine” frames human wellbeing as inseparable from the wellbeing of the planet.
When NBLM becomes part of our lifestyle, individual flourishing and ecological stewardship go hand in hand. It’s not simply taking from nature, but participating with nature — ethically, respectfully and regeneratively.
Nature-Based Lifestyle Medicine is tailored to each person or group. It blends gentle, nature-connected practices with simple daily habits that support long-term wellbeing.
A personalised approach to wellbeing rooted in nature.
