In this episode of The Art of Being Well, Dr. Will Cole sits down with Ginny Yurich, bestselling author and founder of the viral 1000 Hours Outside movement. Ginny shares how her journey as a struggling young mom sparked a global wellness revolution focused on reclaiming childhood, restoring attention, and reconnecting families to the natural world. They explore the powerful physical and mental health benefits of unstructured play, the neuroscience behind screen addiction, and why persuasive design is hijacking our kids’ brains.
