The Andy Films and Hikes PodcastThis week I’m joined by Dr. Suzanne Bartlett Hackenmiller — physician, author, wife, mother, and Chief Medical Advisor at AllTrails. Suzanne is board certified in OB-Gyn and Integrative Medicine, with additional certifications in herbal medicine, Ayurveda, meditation, and nature and forest therapy.She is the award-winning author of The Outdoor Adventurer’s Guide to Forest Bathing and the founder of Trail Rx, a program that provides parks and trail systems with “nature prescriptions” to improve mental and physical health. Suzanne has served as Medical Director of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, lead physician for Chopra Whole Health, and currently practices at Honor Health Integrative Medicine in Scottsdale, Arizona, while also teaching as an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix.In our conversation, Suzanne shares her personal journey through grief and burnout, her path into integrative medicine, and the science behind forest bathing — from reducing stress hormones in minutes to improving long-term health. She also gives practical ways to bring forest therapy into your daily life, whether you live near trails or in the middle of a big city.🌐 Learn more about Suzanne → IntegrativeInitiative.com✨ Where to Listen & Watch:YouTube → ⁠youtube.com/@andyfilmsandhikesSpotify → The Andy Films and Hikes PodcastApple Podcasts → The Andy Films and Hikes PodcastOr wherever you get your podcasts☕ Support the Show:Buy me a coffee → ⁠buymeacoffee.com/andyfilmsandhikes⁠Patreon coming soon — stay tuned!📲 Connect with Me (Andy Neal):Instagram → ⁠instagram.com/andyfilmsandhikes⁠TikTok → ⁠tiktok.com/@andyfilmsandhikes⁠YouTube → ⁠youtube.com/@andyfilmsandhikesThreads → ⁠threads.net/@andyfilmsandhikes⁠Facebook → ⁠facebook.com/andyfilmsandhikes⁠📲 Connect with Dr. Suzanne Bartlett Hackenmiller:Instagram → ⁠instagram.com/docsusie⁠Website → ⁠integrativeinitiative.com⁠🌲 Thank you for listening, for supporting, and for helping me share these important conversations.
