Nature as Medicine? Dr. Don Moss on Stress, Resilience, and Health

Can spending just a few minutes in nature measurably improve your health? In this episode, Dr. Saul Rosenthal talks with Dr. Donald Moss—psychologist, educator, and one of the pioneers of modern biofeedback and applied psychophysiology—as part of our 2026 NRBS Conference interview series. Don discusses the growing research on how contact with nature influences stress, mood, heart rate variability, resilience, and overall health. We explore why modern lifestyles may leave many of us disconnected from environments that support well-being, how “green prescribing” is being incorporated into healthcare in other countries, and practical ways clinicians and individuals can make nature a regular part of everyday life. Whether you’re a healthcare professional, a biofeedback practitioner, or simply looking for evidence-based ways to improve your health, this conversation offers a fascinating look at the science—and surprisingly simple practice—of reconnecting with the natural world.
