Madelyn Strong

Today on the vlog we have Mady Strong, a nurse and gardener. She discusses how gardening provides exercise, vitamin D from the sun (which helps to absorb calcium, and aids in mental health by relieving stress), and allows for mindful time alone, which is a source of self care for many. Gardening decreases cortisol levels and boosts serotonin and dopamine which relieves stress and boosts mood. Like caring for patients as a nurse, Mady enjoys nurturing her plants from seeds to full grown.
