What Happens to Your Brain When You Don’t Go Outside? (The Science Explained)

Many of us now spend around ninety-three percent of our lives indoors. But what does that actually do to the brain? In this episode, we dig into the science of what happens when we don’t get enough time outdoors. From increased stress reactivity and impaired attention, to reduced working memory and greater mood volatility, the evidence is clear: nature is not optional for a healthy nervous system. I explore landmark studies showing that students who walked in natural settings boosted working memory by around twenty percent compared to those walking in busy urban streets, research on how natural environments calm the nervous system, and emerging findings on how diverse outdoor microbes may influence mood, immunity and the gut–brain axis. If you’re looking for practical, evidence-based ways to support your mental wellbeing, attention, motivation or emotional resilience, this is the simplest place to start: go outside.
