The topics of death and dying have long been taboo within American culture. Dr. Marianne Matzo is a registered nurse and gerontologist who is working to shift the way people view death, including the way children do. With the recent publication of their children’s book titled, “Everyone Dies: And, Yes, It Is Normal”, both Marianne Matzo and co-author Darlene Domanik use imagery and language geared toward young audiences to help them normalize the reality of death in a palatable way. 

On this podcast, Dr. Diana Mason, registered nurse and host of this program, discusses children’s understanding of death with Dr. Marianne Matzo. This interview first aired on HealthCetera in the Catskills, on WIOX Radio, on August 18, 2021.

Biophilia is most concisely defined as the innate human tendency to connect with nature and other living creatures: it’s the force that draws us to nature, and the reason we often feel recharged or happy when we’re spending time outdoors. In recent years, researchers have begun connecting the dots on how connecting with the natural world can reduce anxiety, regulate moods, and better overall health.

On this HealthCetera podcast, Barbara Glickstein, RN, discusses the connection between nature and human health with Susan Allison-Dean, RN, MS, CCAP, an Advanced Holistic Nurse, author, and founder of The Nature Nurse.
