Could hobbies like knitting, dancing, or visiting a museum really support your health?
Dr. Daisy Fancourt joins Dr. Mindy to explain the science behind creativity and why art deserves a place alongside food, movement, and sleep in the way we think about well-being.
Daisy shares how music may influence heart rate and stress, why the brain responds so strongly to stories, and how creative hobbies can support identity, self-esteem, connection, and cognitive health.
They also discuss the return of “grandmother hobbies" and simple ways women can bring more creativity into their lives without needing to consider themselves artistic.
This conversation may change the way you think about what counts as taking care of yourself.
