When you brought this up at our feedback call, I had soooo much to say. I've recently developed a renewed respect for environmental health in population health - especially since urban design affects food access, clean water, open spaces, social equity/equality. As a clinician, at times I feel pretty defeated because those things affect my low-income/underserved patients' health outcomes.

On another note! I had a similar experience in Iceland this summer where I just felt and looked so vibrant - there was def. something in the magical waters (and air quality and probably the amazing bread and dairy!)
