Thankfully… walk into almost any contemporary office and you are likely to find a few strategically positioned plants, a moss wall in reception or perhaps another biophilic feature intended to soften an otherwise corporate environment. Over the past decade, introducing greenery into workplaces has become almost synonymous with employee wellbeing. Yet according to workplace and environmental psychologist Dr Craig Knight, if organisations believe that adding a few plants alone will transform productivity, they have misunderstood the research. Craig's work at the University of Exeter, challenged one of the most enduring assumptions in workplace design, namely that the most productive offices are those that are minimalist and stripped back to their essentials. These highly controlled environments were long thought to minimise distraction and maximise concentration. His research demonstrated precisely the opposite. Employees working in enriched environments containing plants, artwork and opportunities for personalisation consistently performed better than those working in lean, standardised offices. “Wellbeing improved, stress reduced and productivity increased by as much as 15%.” Although plants became the headline of many reports about the research, Craig is keen to put them into context. They are not magical objects capable of transforming a workplace by themselves. Rather, they are one of the simplest and most affordable ways of enriching an environment. This is important for designers, facilities managers and employers to remember. Environmental enrichment can take many forms, including artwork, light, texture and even scent. Plants have proved particularly effective because they are relatively inexpensive, flexible and easy to introduce into existing buildings. Unlike a major refurbishment, they can transform a space almost immediately. The psychology behind their success is equally compelling. Rather than distracting employees from their work, enriched environments provide opportunities for brief moments of cognitive recovery. Looking away from a screen towards a plant or another visually engaging feature gives the brain the chance to reset before returning to the task at hand. These small interruptions help sustain attention rather than diminish it. As Craig puts it, people are happier and more productive when their surroundings offer something meaningful to engage with. Yet as our conversation developed, it became clear that the plants themselves were not the most significant finding from decades of workplace research.The real story is choice. People perform better when they have some control over the environment in which they work. The ability to personalise a desk, influence the layout of a workspace or decide where plants should be positioned may appear insignificant, but psychologically these decisions communicate something much larger. They demonstrate trust. One of the most interesting examples he describes comes from a company in Paris that invited staff to shape their own working environment. Employees created artwork, rearranged spaces, introduced planting and developed breakout areas that reflected their own personalities. There was no substantial design budget. Instead, the organisation trusted its employees to create an environment that suited the way they worked. Productivity increased, but equally important was the sense of ownership people developed towards the workplace. It became somewhere they wanted to be rather than somewhere they were required to attend. This idea of ownership runs through much of his research. Organisations often invest heavily in beautifully designed offices only to prevent employees from moving furniture, repositioning plants or displaying personal objects. In doing so, they unintentionally undermine many of the psychological benefits the design was intended to create. Craig argues that even the best designers cannot predict what will make every individual feel comfortable. A workplace should not simply reflect a corporate identity; it should also allow the identities of the people working there to emerge. "The more you can realise your own identity in your space," he says, "the better that space is."This presents an interesting challenge for architects and interior designers. Design excellence has often been measured by visual consistency and aesthetic control. Yet workplace psychology suggests that highly curated environments are not always the most successful places to work. The role of design may be less about creating a finished solution and more about creating a framework within which people can adapt spaces to suit their own needs. That philosophy extends well beyond office furniture or planting schemes. Craig is equally critical of workplace cultures that attempt to monitor every aspect of employee behaviour. Surveillance software, keystroke monitoring and rigid management structures all communicate a lack of trust, and his research consistently shows that these approaches reduce engagement rather than improve it. Organisations frequently speak about wellbeing while simultaneously removing autonomy from their workforce. The contradiction is difficult to ignore. For those working in Biophilic Design, there is another interesting lesson. The discussion around nature in buildings often focuses on the physiological benefits of plants, daylight or natural materials. Craig does not dismiss those benefits, but he repeatedly brings the conversation back to the social environment. Plants become valuable not simply because they are living organisms, but because they represent care, enrichment and, when employees are involved in choosing and looking after them, shared ownership. It is no coincidence that people often name the plants they care for in the workplace. They become part of the social fabric of an office, small but tangible reminders that the environment is alive and that someone has invested in it. Even preserved planting, increasingly common where living plants are impractical, reflects a desire to introduce texture, colour and references to nature into spaces that might otherwise feel sterile.As organisations continue to rethink hybrid working and the purpose of the office, Knight believes there is an opportunity to move beyond designing attractive workplaces only. The challenge is to create environments where people feel respected, trusted and able to contribute to the spaces they inhabit. His advice to designers:"People first. Design second." It is a principle that sits comfortably alongside Biophilic Design. Creating healthier workplaces has never been solely about filling buildings with plants. It is about designing environments that support human flourishing. Plants remain one of the most effective tools available, but they are most powerful when they become part of a wider culture that values participation, autonomy and wellbeing. In the end, the greenest workplace is not necessarily the one with the most planting. It is the one where people genuinely feel that they belong.

How can spirituality become a natural and meaningful part of everyday life rather than something reserved for special moments? In this inspiring episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes author, spiritual counselor, and educator Jonathan Ellerby to discuss Making Spirituality Simple and Everyday Inspired.

Throughout the conversation, Rob and Dr. Ellerby examine topics including gratitude, compassion, intuition, meditation, and living with intention.

Vitamin B12 Deficiency--The “Aging” Symptoms You Shouldn't Ignore: Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist in New York City, discusses vitamin B12 deficiency as a common problem that can mimic normal aging, noting adults need only about two micrograms daily to support red blood cells, nerves, and DNA. She reviews the history of liver treatment for pernicious anemia and explains that deficiency remains common in older adults, vegans/vegetarians, and people with impaired absorption due to low stomach acid, autoimmune gastritis, weight loss surgery, or medications such as metformin and proton pump inhibitors. Symptoms can develop slowly and include fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, numbness/tingling, poor balance, memory issues, and brain fog; she advises medical evaluation and B12 testing rather than assuming aging or relying on wellness-clinic injections when levels are normal. She emphasizes B12 is primarily in animal foods, so vegans need supplements, and notes broader nutrient shortfalls she sees in vegan clients.

Send us Fan MailThis is the summer edition of something we explored earlier this year with kapha dosha — bringing the yamas and niyamas, yoga's ethical and personal observances, into conversation with the season we're actually in. And right now, we are in pitta season. Fire and water. Heat, intensity, drive, sharpness, focus — all of it turned up.Pitta's gifts are extraordinary. The clarity, the capacity to make things happen, the warmth. But when pitta goes out of balance in the height of summer  — the fire can start to scorch the very life it's trying to build.These five practices are the medicine.What we cover:Ahimsa (non-violence) — how pitta's perfectionism and self-criticism are the most common forms of self-harm we never name, why Ayurveda recommends exercising to only 60–70% capacity in summer, and a simple practice of just noticing the moments you override your body before trying to change anythingSatya (truthfulness) — the practice of learning to hear the voice of what is actually true for you beneath the voice of obligation, habit, and expectation, and how body-led movement like Somatic Stretch and Shake creates a small safe container to begin that listeningBrahmacharya (moderation) — why pitta is drawn to intensity and how the short, brilliant Maine summer perfectly illustrates the urge to consume everything at once, and what it means to direct energy into balanced endeavors rather than burning both ends of the candleSaucha (purity) — the nervous system cost of a cluttered space, why pitta season is naturally detoxifying without any imposed cleanse, the foods that are cooling and cleansing right now (including a beloved herb sauce recipe), and movement as a lymphatic practiceSantosha (contentment) — the research on why our brains are genuinely unreliable estimators of how much big achievements will make us happy, the impact bias named by psychologists Dan Gilbert and Timothy Wilson, what the hedonic treadmill actually does to us, and why collecting small daily moments of contentment — what the Japanese call Sho-Katkou, small but certain happiness — may be one of the most powerful things a pitta person can doLinks mentioned:Somatic Stretch and Shake — free class on YouTubePitta season Somatic Stretch & Shake class coming soon — join the email list to stay in the loop: Email NewsletterResearch mentioned:Impact Bias — Gilbert, D. & Wilson, T.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin is joined by Dr. Daniel Saddawi‑Konefka, associate professor of anesthesia, and Dr. Matthew Tung, instructor in anesthesia, both at Harvard Medical School. They discuss their JAMA viewpoint, Meaning and Comfort in Physician Well‑Being: An Integrated Framework, and explore how two complementary dimensions of well‑being—meaning and comfort—can help physicians thrive throughout their careers. Drawing on concepts rooted in ancient Greek philosophy, Drs. Saddawi‑Konefka and Tung examine the relationship between eudaimonia (the sense of purpose and fulfillment that comes from service, growth, and connection) and hedonia (the well‑being associated with comfort, safety, and the reduction of unnecessary burdens). They discuss why these concepts are often framed as competing priorities in medicine and argue instead that both are essential components of sustainable physician well‑being. The conversation also explores practical applications within graduate medical education, including fostering intrinsic motivation, promoting autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and creating opportunities for learners to connect with the meaning inherent in patient care.

Join us for a discussion on the physical pillar of well-being with internationally-recognized educator and researcher Dr. Stella Volpe, PhD. This episode is part of the Lawyer Well-being Community's series, The Six Pillars of Well-Being. In this insightful discussion with your community host, Tom Kane, a former government attorney who is currently active in public health and exercise science education, advocacy, and policy, Dr. Volpe discusses how one can meet the prevailing Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and why the environment in the DMV, as annually evaluated by the American College of Sports Medicine's annual American Fitness Index, is especially conducive for meeting those Guidelines. Dr. Volpe is currently the Chair of the Department of Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise at Virginia Tech and is a Past President of the ACSM. Dr. Volpe's research focuses on obesity and diabetes prevention using nutrition and exercise, and she has conducted research on athletes across all levels of sports activity.Please note, the positions and opinions expressed by the speakers are strictly their own, and do not necessarily represent the views of their employers, nor those of the D.C.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical.

Dr. David Chernoff, Chief Medical Officer of Setpoint Medical, discusses electrically driven vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) as a “neuroimmune modulation” approach to autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Chernoff explains the vagus nerve's sensory role in monitoring organs and signaling the brainstem and spleen to regulate immune responses, and how precise stimulation can reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines without immunosuppression. Setpoint's miniaturized, wireless, MRI-compatible implant is placed in an outpatient 45-minute neck procedure and delivers one minute of daily stimulation titrated to an upper comfort level; long-term safety is supported by prior surgical experience and a 242-patient blinded RA study with two-year data, leading to FDA approval for rheumatoid arthritis. The discussion covers add-on use with medications, potential steroid tapering, reimbursement, and research in Crohn's disease, relapsing MS (vision and remyelination), and other conditions, including psoriatic arthritis, lupus, and neurodegenerative diseases.

Finally… a happiness habit that actually works. Whimsymaxxing is everywhere right now, and for good reason. But this is more than just another internet trend… the vitality of whimsy reflects something much deeper about what so many of us are craving. In this episode, we're exploring the psychology of whimsy, why adults desperately need more play, wonder, novelty, creativity, and delight, and why intentionally romanticizing your life can improve your mental health, resilience, and overall wellbeing. In a world obsessed with productivity, optimization, and hustle culture, whimsy is becoming an act of rebellion. A much-needed pendulum swing away from over-optimizing, biohacking, irreverence, and minimalism. Whimsy is an act of hope and joy against the seriousness of adulthood and the uncertainty of current times. And it's more than just vibes… whimsy is a measurable psychological strength associated with greater life satisfaction, stronger relationships, improved resilience, and lower symptoms of depression. Even more good news: it's not a fixed trait. Research shows playfulness can be learned and developed. So whether you're feeling burnt out, stuck in autopilot, or wanting to reconnect with childhood joy, this episode will inspire you to reclaim the magic of life in small, meaningful ways. Tune in to hear about: Why whimsymaxxing is becoming one of the biggest trends The psychology of whimsy, playfulness, and wonder How romanticizing your life can improve happiness and mental health Why novelty activates dopamine and makes life feel richer and more memorable The surprising research on adult playfulness and resilience The power of nostalgia and reconnecting with childhood joy How to break out of autopilot and make everyday life feel magical again 15 easy ways to add more whimsy, creativity, adventure, and play into your life this summer Let's savour every sunset, dilly dally our days away, and spend the summer being wildly impractical and frivolous.

Professor and writer Ian Bogost shares insights from his new book,  The Small Stuff: How to Lead a More Gratifying Life. which argues that technology has distanced us from sensory experience -- a process called "dematerialization." He explains how to reclaim the joy of our senses by holding space for tiny experiences, like the feeling of everyday objects in your hand, the clinking of a dish, or the smell of a rose.  Cover art courtesy of the author Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Tom Rath, one of the most respected researchers on wellbeing and human potential, author of What's the Point? Turning Your Purpose Into a Superpower. Tom argues that we can be incredibly busy while slowly drifting away from what matters most, optimizing our schedules while our lives quietly leak away. Andy and Tom explore why "follow your passion" can be harmful advice, how status seeking becomes career quicksand, and why our smartphones may be one of the greatest threats to purposeful living. They also discuss how many of us inherit ambitions from our parents that we never consciously chose, and how an honest awareness of mortality can sharpen our clarity, intentionality, and sense of purpose. Rather than treating purpose as one grand calling, Tom reframes it as something we create in small moments throughout the day. If you're looking for a practical, and honestly a little uncomfortable, guide to leading and living with more purpose, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Here's what I know with absolute certainty: you're wasting most of your day. Not because you're lazy, but because you've never asked the right question. You're so busy being busy that you've forgotten to ask why. You're optimizing your schedule while your life leaks away, hour by hour in meetings that don't matter and tasks that won't be remembered next week, let alone next year." "If you fail to do those things in a day and take that initiative and have those meaningful and purposeful conversations, and you put those off until tomorrow, tomorrow never really comes because we get into that responsive mode." "Passion by definition starts with you, and it's a little self-oriented, whereas I would argue purpose by definition has an other orientation to it, which is a much better idea for anchoring your energy in a day." "If you're not connecting back with the impact that it made on one person that day, it fails to kind of count in the way we motivate ourselves and think about our work on a daily basis." "I would argue that 90% of the purpose in life is built in those moments, not in some epiphany on a sunny day." "I would estimate that at least 80% of people, maybe 90%, make it all the way to the very end of their career in their life without ever seeing what they could have been best at in life." "Even as managers and leaders, if we don't take care of our own health and wellbeing first, we just have no shot at even being our best for other people that we manage." "There's always someone making twice as much as you or 10 times as much as you, and there's always somebody with more followers or more listeners or more readers or whatever it might be." "The eulogy virtues are about what am I doing today so I'll be a better dad, a better husband, a better friend, to help readers, to help people with the products I'm working on." "I would argue that 80% of people I see out in public today, out in the wild, are essentially working for their smartphone." "Their smartphone's running their life, and they're the ones salivating like one of Pavlov's dogs every time the darn thing blinks or buzzes or vibrates, right?" "Having your phone out sends an implicit message to the other person that the little black box on the table matters more than the other person, and it degrades the quality of the conversation." "The one thing we've all got in common is we have today to try and do some things that serve a purpose and help another person, and if you miss that opportunity, it's gone." "None of them, none of the headstones say anything about those kind of resume virtues that we were talking about."

Join us as we discuss research on mental health and wellbeing in the surgical workforce with Drs. Yang and Collins. The episode explores key findings from recent national surveys showing that nearly one in seven surgeons report suicidal ideation in the past year, with depression, anxiety, and PTSD affecting 15–20% of the surgical population. The conversation highlights protective factors—professional fulfillment, resilience, self-valuation, and connection—while distinguishing between healthy resilience and normalized suffering. Dr. Yang and Dr. Collins discuss systemic barriers including time constraints, out-of-pocket mental health costs, and persistent stigma, alongside actionable institutional interventions: protecting dedicated wellbeing time, establishing peer support and psychological first aid programs, ensuring free mental health access, and expanding research to understand what helps surgeons thrive. The episode emphasizes that self-care is essential to patient safety and invites listeners to become advocates, engage with the literature, and help drive culture change within their institutions.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton talk about one of the least discussed and most isolating realities of moving into leadership in first responder culture — the loneliness that comes with rank, and the way that climbing the ladder can quietly strip away the very connections that once made the job feel meaningful and sustainable. Leadership in first responder culture is supposed to be an achievement. And it is. But what nobody tells you when you pin on that new rank is that the promotion that earned you more responsibility also cost you something significant — the peer relationships, the unfiltered camaraderie, and the emotional outlets that were quietly holding you together while the job was taking everything else.

In an era marked by rising depression, loneliness, distractibility, burnout and overall declining well-being, many leaders are searching for more effective ways to support their own flourishing and that of their teams. In this compelling conversation, Cortland Dahl, PhD, shares truly transformative insights from his new book, Born to Flourish: How New Science and Ancient Wisdom Reveal a Simple Path to Thriving, co-authored with renowned neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson. Dahl serves as a Contemplative Scientist at the Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. With a unique background that includes nearly a decade living in Himalayan monasteries and Tibetan refugee communities, years of solitary retreat, fluency in Tibetan, and the translation of classical meditation texts, he brings rare depth to the intersection of ancient contemplative wisdom and cutting-edge neuroscience. Together with Davidson, Dahl has helped develop the Healthy Minds Framework — a practical, research-backed model showing that humans are literally born with an innate capacity to flourish. The book reveals that genuine well-being arises not from mindfulness alone, but through the cultivation of four interconnected skills: Awareness, Connection, Insight, and Purpose. These trainable practices, grounded in both brain science and timeless wisdom, can be developed in just a few minutes a day and have been shown to rewire the brain for greater resilience, kindness, and meaning — even amid life's inevitable challenges. This episode dives deep into each of the four skills, exploring simple, everyday ways individuals can build them, while also addressing the critical question of how workplace leaders can intentionally model and cultivate these qualities to elevate employee well-being and create healthier, more connected organizational cultures. Dahl shares why mastering all four skills together produces results far more powerful than any single practice, and how flourishing can become contagious within teams. If you care about leading with heart, reducing burnout, strengthening human connection, and helping people thrive rather than merely survive, this conversation offers both hope and practical guidance. Tune in to discover how ancient truths and modern science can transform the way we work and live.

Registered dietitian Leyla Muedin discusses a Frontiers in Microbiology paper suggesting certain probiotics may help sequester heavy metals. The study, sponsored by the Italian company Probiotical and conducted with University of Ghent and University of Piedmont Orientale, researchers used in vitro testing and the SHIME gut simulator to assess Lactiplantibacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus crispatus, and Lactobacillus acidophilus against cadmium, lead, chromium, and mercury. L. plantarum and L. crispatus reduced metal bioavailability primarily in the simulated colonic phase, while L. acidophilus showed minimal detoxification; mercury was least reduced (~10%). An ex vivo mouse-intestine system found probiotic pre-incubation of metals preserved epithelial integrity and reduced inflammatory responses. Leyla notes limitations: corporate funding, only three strains tested, and no in vivo or human trials, though the findings support further animal and clinical research.
