A few of my patients have recently asked me, “Dr. Nally, why to you post pictures of your horse, koi and farm animals on instagram?”
Let me answer that question with the following questions:
- Do you find yourself longing for the apocalypse?
- Do you find yourself looking for a reason to live?
- Are you feeling tired, irritable, stressed out?
- Do you or you family find yourself to be overly cynical, jaded or emotionally numb?
If you can answer “yes” to any of the questions above, then I highly recommend prescription strength nature . . .
All parody and humor aside, full strength prescription nature is one of the very best treatments for stress.
I find that sitting outside with my animals, watching the birds, dogs, horses and ducks dramatically helps with lowering my stress levels and helps me re-focus. You can see my favorite place to sit on my farm and watch nature . . . here on Katch.me

For someone like me, who spends 14-18 hours a day taking care of illness and sickness, I have found that spending time in nature is often more therapeutic than any pill available in the pharmacy. So, this afternoon, if your looking for me, I’ll be taking my own medicine, a prescription of Nature Rx on my horse.
