044: The Science Of Being Outdoors | Mark Mathieson

Today's yarn is the final episode of season two of show! For this episode we wanted to leave you all with something a little more meaningful that would highlight the mental health benefits and science behind spending time in the great outdoors.

To bring this one together we called upon a person who has helped us greatly in other areas of life by the name of Mark Mathieson.

Mark is a qualified Psychologist who has extensive experience working with high level athletes, Special Forces Military operators and on reality TV shows (SAS Australia, Alone Australia, Survivor Australia). During these interactions, Mark began to realise just how powerful spending time outdoors was in assisting with mental and physical health and as a result, spent a great deal of time researching the proven benefits of doing so.

Mark is a hunter and outdoorsman who places a high value on the healing powers of being out in nature. During this episode we cover the scientifically proven reasons why we all feel so much better after spending time outdoors doing the activities we love.

It was a pleasure to have Mark on the show and we look forward to having him on again in the future to delve deeper into these and other mental health and awareness topics that effect us all on a daily basis.

This is his story.
