šŸŒOn World Health Day, MoneyFM 89.3’s Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen talks with  mental health advocate and author, Andrea McKenna Brankin with her practical, deeply local guide to improving your mental wellbeing in Singapore.

We explore six powerful, accessible practices: Meditating at the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple; slowing down through forest bathing on the Botanic Gardens’ certified Nature Immersion Trail; experiencing sound therapy or barefoot grounding in NParks’ Therapeutic Gardens; decompressing at Sembawang Hot Spring Park; taking device‑free coastal walks along East Coast, Pasir Ris or Changi; and engaging in horticultural therapy or mindful crafting to calm an overstimulated mind.

Andrea explains why these practices work from lowering cortisol to improving immune function and why Singapore’s unique blend of nature, culture, and community spaces makes it one of the best cities in the world for mental wellness, if we choose to use it.
