  • Summary

  • Childhood is finite at just shy of 9.5 million minutes. We only get one shot at it. One of the biggest decisions we make is how we will use that time. Research has confirmed time and time again that what children are naturally and unabashedly drawn to, unrestricted outside play, contributes extensively to every area of childhood development. The importance here cannot be understated. Every year we aim to match nature time with the average amount of American kid screen time (which is currently 1200 hours per year). Have a goal. Track your time outside. Take back childhood. Inspire others.

    1KHO 470: How Stories and Small Moments Shape Generations | Leah Boden, Chronicles of Wonder
    Apr 28 2025
    In one of the most heartwarming conversations yet on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Ginny Yurich welcomes Leah Boden back to explore her new book series, Tales of Boldness and Faith. Together they dive into the life of C.S. Lewis, the power of stories to shape a soul, and the lingering beauty of a well-spent childhood. Through Leah’s tender storytelling, we discover how ordinary moments — reading in an attic, conversations around a table — became the seeds of wonder that shaped generations. This episode is a celebration of imagination, slow living, and the unseen ways we pour into the future simply by living well today. If you’ve ever wondered if small choices matter, if storytelling still has a place in a noisy world, or if childhood wonder can linger into adulthood — this conversation will encourage you deeply. It’s an invitation to savor a slower, richer, and more meaningful life. *** Learn more about Leah Boden and everything she has to offer (including her substack!) here Get a copy of Chronicles of Wonder about C.S.

    1KHO 469: There is a War Being Raged Over Your Food Choices | Dr. Cate Shanahan, The Fatburn Fix
    Apr 25 2025
    In one of the most life-altering conversations we’ve ever had on the podcast, Dr. Cate Shanahan returns to unpack the deep, deceptive forces shaping our food choices—and what it’s doing to our bodies. Drawing from her groundbreaking book The Fatburn Fix, Dr. Cate reveals how vegetable oils have quietly become the most damaging ingredient in our food supply, disrupting our metabolism, fueling chronic illness, and rewiring our hunger cues from childhood. Together, we expose the myths we’ve been fed for decades—from snacking culture to sweeteners with no calories—and offer real, doable steps to take back your health, energy, and sanity. This episode is a masterclass in metabolic truth, challenging everything you’ve been taught about what’s “healthy” to eat. We talk about why most people don’t experience normal hunger anymore, how fat is actually an organ, and why fixing your energy is more important than chasing weight loss. You’ll walk away with a powerful sense of agency—and a new filter for reading nutrition labels, scrolling through diet trends, and making food choices that actually work. Listen in and join the frontlines of a food revolution. ** Get your copy of The Fatburn Fix here Get your copy of Dark Calories here Learn more about Dr. Cate and sign up for her newsletter here Learn more about your ad choices.

    1KHO 468: 5 Powerful Prescriptions You Won’t Find at the Pharmacy | Julia Hotz, The Connection Cure
    Apr 23 2025
    Journalist and author Julia Hotz joins Ginny Yurich to discuss her groundbreaking book, The Connection Cure: The Prescriptive Power of Movement, Nature, Art, Service, and Belonging. In this conversation, Julia shares how doctors around the world are writing prescriptions that don’t come from a pharmacy—like a group bike ride, a painting class, or even fishing. These five powerful, research-backed “social prescriptions” are helping people overcome depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic illness, and loneliness. Together, Ginny and Julia explore the science behind these interventions, the global movement toward social prescribing, and how we can begin writing our own prescriptions for joy, connection, and well-being—right where we are. This episode is full of hope, practical insight, and a fresh look at what it really means to be healthy. ** Get your copy of The Connection Cure here Learn more about Julia and all she has to offer here Learn more about your ad choices.
