    1KHO 468: 5 Powerful Prescriptions You Won’t Find at the Pharmacy | Julia Hotz, The Connection Cure
    Apr 23 2025
    Journalist and author Julia Hotz joins Ginny Yurich to discuss her groundbreaking book, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. In this conversation, Julia shares how doctors around the world are writing prescriptions that don’t come from a pharmacy—like a group bike ride, a painting class, or even fishing. These five powerful, research-backed “social prescriptions” are helping people overcome depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic illness, and loneliness. Together, Ginny and Julia explore the science behind these interventions, the global movement toward social prescribing, and how we can begin writing our own prescriptions for joy, connection, and well-being—right where we are. This episode is full of hope, practical insight, and a fresh look at what it really means to be healthy. ** Get your copy of The Connection Cure here Learn more about Julia and all she has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.

    1KHO 467: Flavor Is the Original Craving | Mark Schatzker, The Dorito Effect
    Apr 22 2025
    What if the root of our health crisis isn’t carbs or fat or sugar—but a missing conversation about flavor? In one of the most compelling episodes of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with author Mark Schatzker to discuss his groundbreaking book The Dorito Effect. Together, they explore how real food has grown increasingly bland while artificial flavor technology has skyrocketed—rewiring our brains, deepening our cravings, and sabotaging our nutritional wisdom. Mark explains how food that once satisfied is now engineered to deceive our taste buds and keep us coming back for more. This episode unpacks the startling truth behind “natural flavors,” the psychological science of overeating, and why modern diets fail. Mark shares the life-changing question every person should ask before they eat: Where did the flavor come from? With warmth, clarity, and hope, he outlines how our palates can heal, how our kids’ cravings are being shaped, and why a future of deeply satisfying, joyful eating is not only possible—it’s essential. This conversation will absolutely change the way you think about food. ** Get your copy of The Dorito Effect here Learn more about Mark and all he has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.

    1KHO 466: Why the Happiest Kids in the World Just Play | Jessica Joelle Alexander, The Danish Way of Parenting
    Apr 21 2025
    What if parenting didn’t have to be so complicated? In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with Jessica Joelle Alexander, author of the bestselling book The Danish Way of Parenting, to uncover why Danish children are consistently ranked among the happiest in the world. Jessica shares what she’s learned from marrying into Danish culture and raising her own kids with radically different values—where play is considered essential, screens are secondary, and resilience is built through freedom, not pressure. Together, Ginny and Jessica explore why free play is the real foundation for emotional strength, social skills, and future success. They dig into how parenting culture in the U.S. has drifted toward control and performance—and how it’s quietly fueling anxiety in both kids and adults. From forest schools and risky play to the overlooked power of hygge and sadness in children’s stories, this conversation offers a life-giving alternative to the parenting pressure cooker. ** Learn more about Jessica and all she has to offer here Get your copy of The Danish Way of Parenting here Learn more about your ad choices.

    Dean Hall was dying. Weakened by two types of cancer and emotionally gutted by grief, he found himself at the end of what medicine and mindset could offer. But in the depths of despair, Dean rediscovered a childhood dream—and made a radical decision to live, not just survive.

It’s about waking up, finding meaning, and remembering that nature is not just scenery—it’s a lifeline. With wisdom forged through suffering and triumph, Dean shares how rivers, forests, and even cold water became allies in healing both his body and spirit. This episode is a profound reminder that it’s never too late to reclaim joy, pursue a long-forgotten dream, and let the outdoors lead the way home. ** Learn more about Dean and all her has to offer here Get your copy of The Wild Cure here Learn more about your ad choices.

    1KHO 461: Stop Mowing, Start Growing | Douglas Tallamy, Nature's Best Hope
    Apr 11 2025
    In this eye-opening episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes renowned entomologist and author Douglas Tallamy to help us rethink what it means to care for our yards—and our planet. Tallamy explains why America’s 44 million acres of lawn are ecological dead zones, consuming billions of gallons of water, massive amounts of pesticides, and precious hours of our time—while giving almost nothing back to the environment. But there’s a better way. From planting native trees like oaks to encouraging blooming plants that feed pollinators all season long, Tallamy shows how small changes in our yards can create massive ripples for biodiversity, conservation, and climate resilience. Tallamy introduces his revolutionary concept of the Homegrown National Park—a grassroots movement to convert half of America’s lawns into thriving ecosystems that support insects, birds, and other wildlife right outside our windows. He shares powerful facts, practical advice, and captivating personal stories, including how thousands of caterpillars are needed to raise just one nest of chickadees and why giving kids hands-on access to nature can transform not just their health, but their ecological literacy. This episode is a call to action for families who want to turn their homes into havens—for both people and the planet. **** Get your copy of Nature's Best Hope here Learn more about Douglas Tallamy here ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!
