  • Summary

  • In one of the most compelling and enlightening episodes of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich sits down with psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Anders Hansen to explore the powerful, science-backed link between movement and mental health. Drawing from his groundbreaking book The Real Happy Pill (also published as The Mind-Body Method), Hansen explains why exercise isn't just good for your body—it’s one of the most effective tools we have to boost brain function, protect against depression and dementia, reduce stress, and even increase creativity and intelligence. You’ll hear incredible stories, including how walking can literally grow your brain, and how just 20 minutes of movement can sharpen focus and improve academic performance in kids. From ADHD to anxiety, executive function to emotional resilience, Dr. Hansen breaks down the latest neuroscience to show how movement is a true game-changer. This conversation will leave you energized, hopeful, and ready to move—because the science is clear: exercise doesn't just help you feel better... it changes your brain for the better. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or lifelong learner, this is a must-listen episode that just might change the way you see the simple act of walking. ** Get your copy of The Real Happy Pill here Learn more about Anders Hansen here ** A huge thank you to our sponsors!
