The Indoor Epidemic by John La Puma
Dr. John La Puma joins the podcast to discuss his eye-opening book, Indoor Epidemic, and the life-changing research behind it. We now spend an astonishing 93% of our lives indoors and according to Dr. La Puma our health is paying the price. The good news? Just 17 minutes a day of intentional time in nature can improve sleep, sharpen focus, lift your mood and reduce anxiety. Also, just eleven minutes of daily, intentional engagement with nature can lower your risk of premature death by 23%. Dr. La Puma’s outdoor prescription is simple, free and potentially life-changing. As Oprah says, it’s a formula for making your life better.
