It’s summer in Houston. No one wants to go outside in the heat. But studies have repeatedly shown that access to natural light can improve workers’ health and happiness, decrease stress, even improve students’ learning.
Having trouble sleeping? A walk in the morning daylight may be just the ticket to a good night’s sleep!
Add the benefits of walking in nature, and you’ve got the winning combination to improve overall physical and mental health, increase attention span, enhance memory, and fight disease.

Houston, we have a problem. Texas ranks 38th (out of 50 states). According to America’s 2022 Health Ranking, every SEC school is located in a state whose health rankings are in the bottom one-half of all states – only Florida ranks above the lowest 28 percent.
Dr. Maddock wants to impact the health of Texas and other southern states as he did in Hawaii.
