What if the secret to a longer, happier life wasn’t in a pill bottle, but in a forest path, a strong community, and a healthcare system built on trust?
For the 8th year in a row, Finland has been ranked the happiest country in the world. Meanwhile, the U.S. spends more on healthcare than any other nation… and yet, we’re sicker, more stressed, and slipping further down the happiness list.
In this episode, Dr. Kara Foster explores:
Why Finland keeps topping the happiness charts
How happiness and health are inseparable (and show up in your body, even your eyes)
Finland’s prevention-first culture vs America’s pill-first culture
Why Direct Care is the closest thing we have to “mini-Finland” healthcare in the U.S.
Simple habits, like forest walking, that can boost your health more than you think
Happiness isn’t fluff. It’s a prescription for better health. And the good news? You don’t need a plane ticket to Finland to start practicing it.
Tune in and learn how to bring Finland-style happiness into your own life, no passport required.
