There’s no real replacement for traditional medicine, but what if there was an intuitive way to prevent the effects of things like depression, anxiety, and chronic pain? Social prescription is the act of being prescribed activities that center around connection with community, art, and nature. And it’s backed by science! Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by author Julia Hotz to talk about the ins and outs of social prescription and how becoming more active in your environment and community can help prevent certain health outcomes. Then, Sam explores a fascinating new vaccine side effect and what fanfiction can tell us about how we experience art and culture.
