Sun exposure.
Bare feet on earth.
Time with trees.

All of these practices may seem simple (and they are), but they also have the potential to affect your body, your mind, and your spirit profoundly. 

And today, functional medicine health coach Efan Hsieh  shares all about not only some nature connection practices that may be beneficial to ease stress and burnout, but also the science behind how they do what they do.
