NaturalBeings

A lovely post in the Guardian as told by Natalie Fée

“You don’t need to go far to find a spot in nature where you can sit and reflect. Nature knows what you need, and is always ready to offer it – you just need to be quiet enough to receive it”.

We believe that humans are not separate from nature.🌳

We are part of it.

Yet many of us spend our lives disconnected from the very things that once kept us healthy, strong, resilient, and well.

We spend more time indoors than ever before.We move less.We sit more.We are surrounded by noise, stress, distraction, and artificial environments.

And despite all our advances, many people feel tired, anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, and unwell.

Natural Beings was born from a simple belief:

Nature still has the power to heal.

Not as a miracle cure.Not as an escape from modern life.But as a reminder of how we are designed to live.

We believe in moving our bodies.We believe in fresh air, sunlight, open spaces, forests, rivers, mountains, coastlines, and wild places.We believe in play, adventure, challenge, and exploration.We believe in nourishing ourselves with real food and healthy habits.We believe in community, connection, and shared experiences.

We believe that wellbeing is not found in a bottle, a quick fix, or a shortcut.

It is built through the choices we make every day.

A walk instead of another hour indoors.A conversation around a campfire.A swim in cold water.A trail through the woods.A workout that makes us feel alive.A moment to stop, breathe, and reconnect.

Natural Beings exists to inspire and support people in rediscovering these simple but powerful foundations of health and happiness.

Our mission is to help people reconnect with nature, reconnect with movement, reconnect with themselves, and reconnect with each other.

We celebrate strength, not perfection.Progress, not comparison.Connection, not isolation.

We believe that every person deserves the opportunity to experience the physical, mental, and emotional benefits that nature can provide.

Through education, community, experiences, products, and charitable support, we aim to make nature connection more accessible to everyone.

This is not about going backwards.

It is about remembering what matters.

Because we are not separate from nature.

We are not separate nature. We are Natural Beings.🌿

Just as well I’ve got mine on, although I’m not ‘old’ yet and probably not ideal for landscaping, but sooo much more comfortable! 🦶🦶
University of Liverpool research, published in Clinical Biomechanics, reveals certain types of conventional footwear are not as beneficial to balance and stability for older people as specially designed minimal footwear.

Research conducted by the University’s Musculoskeletal Biology Department, in collaboration with Vivobarefoot, has revealed that wearing minimal shoes may improve stability and physical function in middle-aged and older people compared to conventional shoes. This study confirms a growing body of data that minimal shoes offer certain benefits over conventional heeled, padded, and ‘supportive’ shoes.

This insight could lead to changes in the way that clinicians and shoe designers think about how our choice of footwear affects us, findings that, if implemented, could lead to increased stability in older people.

About a year ago I started feeling unwell. Shortness of breath, chest pain, dizzy spells, I was anxious and avoided crowded places, and struggled to hold a conversation and be present.

It wasn’t until my work colleagues insisted I see the doctor and couldn’t go back until I had been checked out, that I did something about it.

The tests showed I had elevated blood pressure and cholesterol, and they wanted to prescribe statins. They believed my heart was fine but that I was ‘burnt out’ and chronically stressed!

I had been pushing my limits for many years, just ‘cracking on’. Working shifts, supporting my wife Sam through her illness, trying to be the best parent, run a business on the side, and together with various situations I had been exposed to over the years in the Royal Marines and the police, my mind + body just told me “enough is enough Lee”.

There was no way I was taking statins before trying to change things myself, I hadn’t taken any pills to become unwell had I?

So I did what I knew best and went back to nature. Moving outdoors, running trails, swimming in the sea, training under the trees, walking and connecting— that’s when everything changed. 🌿

The stress lifted. My body felt alive again.
My mind finally felt calm, and you know what else happened…?
My blood pressure dropped and my cholesterol returned to ‘normal’ levels, all within 3 months!

That’s why I created my 12-week coaching program Wildfit — to help men + women 50+ not only build strength, mobility, and long term health, but also find freedom, calm, and connection through nature.🌳

This really works! No BS, no gimmicks, no ‘bio-hacks’ just deep rooted, holistic, whole body and mind, medicine!

👉 If you’re tired of gyms, stress, and quick fixes, maybe it’s time to return to nature.”

DM “NATURE” to get started on your road to proper, long term health.

“Nature isn’t just the backdrop-its the medicine “🌱
Spending time outdoors in nature is scientifically proven to calm your nervous system, fight stress, and make movement feel good again.
Who doesn’t feel better after a walk outdoors? 🌳
