The Trail to True Health with Dr. Melissa Sundermann

What if the most powerful medicine for your health wasn’t found in a bottle — but under your feet, in the trees above, and in the sky stretching out before you?

Dr. Melissa Sundermann is a lifestyle medicine physician, endurance athlete, and passionate advocate for reconnecting with the natural world. In this inspiring episode of The Health Feast, we explore how nature isn’t just a backdrop to our busy lives — it’s a potent, evidence-based healing force. Drawing from her own journey as a runner, explorer, and plant-based physician, Dr. Sundermann invites us to remember what we’ve always known deep down: we are wired for the wild.

We discuss:

• Why nature should be part of your wellness prescription

• The science behind how time outdoors lowers stress and boosts immunity

• The mindset shift that happens when we move outside

• Tips for reconnecting with nature in daily life — even in urban settings

• How Dr. Sundermann lives in rhythm with the seasons and what it’s taught her about health

This conversation is a breath of fresh air — a gentle nudge to step outside, slow down, and remember what it feels like to belong.
