Holistic Health: Making The Connection Between Agriculture and Physical Therapy

on

I was so honored to be a guest on the Movement and Climate Change Podcast produced by the Emory DPT Sustainability Committee for their October 2023 Episode.

We talked about my experience in sustainable agriculture, psychology, and food systems prior to beginning my career as a physical therapist. We also discussed the connections between nutrition and physical therapy and how recovery depends on optimizing nutrition. We even talked about the integration of food choices and holistic health conversations in physical therapy and specifically how these different inputs (i.e., nutrition, sleep, mental health) can impact pain neurophysiology and recovery from injury.

I had so much fun talking with these inspired physical therapy students about holistic health and sustainability and I hope you enjoy our conversation!
