What do forests, psychedelics, and breathing through one side of your nose all have in common?

We talked with Julie in the woods behind her house about her latest book, “Good Chemistry: The Science of Connection from Soul to Psychedelics”, and why things like singing or forest bathing might hold the keys to unlocking the “rest and repair” pathways of our brains.
