Phytoncides are natural, volatile substances (essential oils) released by trees and plants to protect themselves against insects, fungi, and harmful bacteria.

When people come into contact with these substances, they offer benefits to the immune system, reduce stress, and have an anti-inflammatory effect. The way we absorb them—through breathing, drinking, or bathing—influences how they act on our bodies.

Nothing exists on its own.

A forest is not simply a collection of individual trees.
Beneath the surface, roots, fungi and microorganisms form complex communities. Nutrients, chemical signals and countless interactions connect life above and below ground.

There is cooperation, competition and constant exchange. The forest exists through relationships.

And so do we.

Our biology is continuously shaped by the world around us, from microorganisms and food to stress, light and our environment.

Nature does not work through isolated parts. It works through relationships.

The science of biological connectedness is at the heart of my book: "The Earth Within Us".

We are nature, too.

A forest is far more than a collection of individual trees.

Beneath the surface, roots, fungi, and countless microorganisms form complex networks that connect the forest in ways we are only beginning to understand.

Particularly fascinating is the research on large, old trees – often called “Mother Trees” – and the role they play within these living communities.

For me, this is another beautiful example of something we find again and again in nature:

Nothing exists on its own.
Life emerges through relationships. 🌿

That is exactly what this little video is about.

And if you would like to explore more about these fascinating connections within nature and why they are so important for our health, you’ll find much more in my book “The Earth Within Us.”

What if food is much more than fuel?

For a long time, nutrition was largely viewed through the lens of calories, nutrients and energy.

But every meal enters into a complex dialogue with our biology — with our cells, microorganisms, nervous system and immune system.

And food carries something else with it: the environment it came from.

Soil. Sunlight. Season. Growing conditions.

Nutrition is not simply about what is in our food, but also about the relationships and environments that shaped it.

Food is not just fuel. Food is information.

We are nature, too.

In this episode of Decentralized TV, Mike Adams and Todd Pitner speak with Amos Clifford, founder of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy, about forest bathing and spending relaxed time in natural environments without distraction. Clifford describes forest bathing as a practice of paying attention to sensory experiences in the present moment, distinguishing it from hiking and naturalist education, and discusses slowing down, noticing changes in nature, and developing a deeper relationship with forests.

The conversation also explores how attention to sounds, smells, textures, light, soil, trees, and other elements of nature can shape the experience of being outdoors, as well as the role of technology and deliberate disconnection. Clifford discusses guiding practices such as walking slowly, returning to the same trails to notice changes, and responding to invitations that arise naturally in the forest, while Adams and Pitner share their own experiences observing and interacting with forests, animals, and food forests.

The Earth has always been our pharmacy

Long before modern laboratories existed, nature was producing an extraordinary diversity of biologically active compounds – in plants, fungi, microorganisms, and algae.

And many substances used in modern medicine have their origins in this natural world.

From willow trees to microorganisms and brown algae, nature continues to inspire medicine in remarkable ways.

The question is not only what single compound we can isolate from nature – but what we can learn from the complexity that created it.

🌍 We are nature, too.

What does the sunlight falling on a green leaf have to do with our own bodies?

More than we realize in our everyday lives.

Plants accomplish something extraordinary. And the closer we look, the more fascinating the connections between light, nature, and life become. 🌿

Our Forgotten Friends – What Still Connects Us to Nature?

For millions of years, microorganisms have been part of the living world around us. They have also helped shape the evolution of our immune system.

But how closely are we still connected to this invisible world?

A tiny soil bacterium called Mycobacterium vaccae offers fascinating insights into the relationships between nature, the immune system, and the brain.

We are part of nature. And we always have been. 🌱

Your Body Is Listening! How Food Influences Your Genes 🌿

Did you know that your body doesn't just digest food? It responds to it.

What we eat influences far more than our energy supply. Our cells respond to the natural substances in our food, and even the activity of certain genes can be influenced.

This is where the fascinating world of epigenetics begins.

And it's not about a single super compound. It's about the complex interplay of natural diversity.

Our genes are not a fixed program. They are in constant dialogue with our environment.

🌿 We are nature, too.
