Do you manage to get out in nature every day for just 20 minutes? Biodiversity professor Kathy Willis joins Liz on this podcast to question whether not spending enough time outdoors is making us sick.

Kathy reveals the links between the amount of green space in our lives and better health, mood and longevity, and shares practical advice on how we can get more nature into our homes to reap these benefits, too.

Plus, Kathy and Liz discuss whether a lack of trees may be causing certain health conditions, how plants can enhance our lives (even helping us to fight cancer!), and why you might want to swap your carpets for wooden floors in your home.

With one in five women compared to one in eight men experiencing a common mental health issue in the UK, psychiatrist Linda Gask joins Liz to explore how mental health care is failing the sisterhood.

Linda also shares her thoughts on medication for mental health, the prevalence of medical misogyny and gaslighting, and provides practical advice on getting the right support for your needs.
