John La Puma, MD, ChefMD™ is a two-time New York Times bestselling author, board-certified internist, and professionally trained chef who pioneered Culinary Medicine.

He now pioneers EcoMedicine from his small regenerative teaching farm. His upcoming book, Indoor Epidemic, reveals how spending 93% of life indoors steals sleep, focus, and years, and how reclaiming just 7% outdoors can restore them using the evidence-based Outdoor Rx framework.

This is clinically validated intervention, presenting nature as foundational medicine, an essential component of health and the missing pillar in optimizing longevity and healthspan.

In this episode, Dr. John La Puma shares how our "indoor epidemic" of spending 93% of life inside harms sleep, mood, metabolism, and longevity—and how a small, intentional daily dose of nature, light, air, and movement can reset our biology and regenerate our health.
