What if your doctor prescribed you a hiking group? A ceramics class? Not in place of whatever medication or treatment you may need, but as a complement to it? It’s called Social Prescribing, and journalist Julia Hotz traveled to some 30 countries to talk to patients and professionals who are at the forefront of this approach to wellness. I loved her book, and loved this conversation (and regret we didn’t have time to talk about AI chatbots!).<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/12538/9781668030332">You can buy Julia’s book here </a>to support her, independent bookstores, and this podcast. This is a preview of Thanks for Asking, a call-in show about what matters to you.
