This episode of The Health Curve Podcast explores the connection between art, creativity, the brain, and health. Host Dr. Jason Arora is joined by Susan Magsamen, a researcher and educator specialising in the relationship between the arts and the brain; Ruth Katz, a health policy expert focused on health, medicine, and society; and Sarah Lyding, President of The Music Man Foundation, which supports the use of music and the arts to improve health and wellbeing. Together, they discuss how music, movement, storytelling, and creative expression can influence brain function, reduce stress, support emotional wellbeing, and contribute to recovery. From dance and Parkinson’s to music and Alzheimer’s, the growing field of NeuroArts is turning something many of us intuitively feel into an area of scientific research. The conversation also asks a bigger question: what if the arts are not simply a luxury, but an essential part of health and wellbeing?
