Concluding our “New Year, More Me” theme, we are invited to ponder from a 3rd angle:
What if better health were not an “added” thing to do, but a more strategic approach to the way we do it?”
This week, I am chatting with Dr John La Puma, a medical doctor and trained chef, about the “Indoor Epidemic”, a topic he is bringing to life through his upcoming 8th book.
John shares why most of us are indoors for about 93% of our time, and how repurposing just two to five hours a week of the time you already spend outside can shift sleep, stress, mood, focus and even appetite signals.
Now, most of us ‘know’ that lots of indoor time and artificially lit environments are bad for our health, or we’ve seen the alarming stats on a reel or research quote, but the action and change part? That’s often harder and this show is here to change that.
We cover simple ideas you can try right away and break down a daily, monthly, and annual framework to achieve incredible health results.
The way we use our outdoor time more strategically will show us gains in sleep quality, focus, blood pressure and inflammation.
If you feel tired, wired, or stuck on screens, this episode is a warm nudge to change up your outdoor time for the better and feel more like you.
Pre-order John’s new book - I’ve loved it. So easy and extremely empowering for anyone who finds the habits you ‘know’ are better, but yet you can’t quite seem to get things going.
Enjoy the show,
Alexx
