The Healing Power of the Arts: A Conversation with Daisy Fancourt

In this episode, Daisy Fancourt joins me to discuss her new book, 'Art Cure,' that explores the profound impact of arts on mental and physical health.
The conversation touches on various aspects of how engagement in creative activities, like music, literature, and even carnival arts, can serve as significant health pillars, much like diet, exercise, and sleep.
Daisy, a professor of psychobiology and epidemiology at University College London, shares insights from her journey from being a professional pianist to a scientist studying the arts' effects on health.
She delves into scientific findings supporting the arts' ability to boost immune function, reduce inflammation, and even slow biological aging. The discussion covers the potential of social prescriptions for the arts, the importance of maintaining regular engagement, and the balance between passive and active participation in creative activities.
Listeners will gain practical takeaways and a deeper understanding of how the arts can contribute to overall well-being.
