S04_E15 - Heat, Haze & How Climate Is Affecting Our Health

With Special Guest: Beth Stegora, PT, DPT

As global temperatures rise and extreme weather events become more frequent, it's not just our environment that’s feeling the impact—our bodies and communities are, too. Worsening air quality, heatwaves and supply chain disruptions are just some of the many ways climate change can have profound effects on both our physical and mental heath, making it an essential part of any conversation around public health.

But as always, knowledge is power and action is the antidote, so on the next episode of the show we'll be joined by Climate Health Ambassador, Beth Stegora (PT, DPT) and she'll help us get a better understanding of these effects and give us helpful ideas on how to stay healthy and how each of us can make a positive impact on our climate's health going forward. Since we all share this planet, we're all in this together, so there's something in this episode for everyone. We hope you'll join us!
