In this episode, Coach Rob sits down with former Navy veteran
and neuroscientist Chris Janney for a deep conversation about
how outdoor activity and social connection aren't just good
habits—they're lifelines for physical and mental resilience.
Together, they explore:
The science behind nature and community
How spending time outdoors and staying socially engaged boosts
brain health, improves mood, and reduces chronic stress.
Fitness meets neuroscience
How movement, exercise, and mindset work together to support
long-term well-being—especially for veterans and high-stress
populations.
Real stories, real tools
Chris shares current research and personal insights on why
nature, movement, and meaningful relationships can serve as
prevention tools against burnout, anxiety, depression, and even
neurodegenerative disease.
This episode lays the groundwork for future discussions around
PTSD, vascular dementia, and prevention—everything tied back
to one message:
Healing starts with movement, connection, and purpose.
