For her insights on social prescribing and connection, Julia has been featured on over one hundred podcasts and talk shows including Ologies, The Liz Moody Podcast, mindbodygreen, The Good Life Project, Thanks for Asking, CNN with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, The Discovery Channel, NPR, Book Club with Michael Smerconish, and more.
In these conversations, Julia brings real patient stories to make the science land — a woman who got off her antidepressants through sea-swimming, a truck driver who reversed his diabetes through a cycling group, a Parkinson's patient who regained his ability to speak through singing. She also gets into the surprising research behind it all: why volunteering lowers inflammation, why a sense of purpose extends life, why time in nature calms the brain's rumination center, and the evolutionary reasons humans are wired for connection in the first place.
Beyond the science and stories, Julia offers listeners practical, actionable takeaways — how to make time for a hobby when it feels like there's no time to spare, why overthinking symptoms often makes them worse, and simple prompts anyone can use to identify their own "social prescription." She's also a go-to source on where the movement is headed next: new insurance coverage and pilot programs in the U.S., and emerging evidence from 30+ countries around the world.
