Most of us know we feel better outside, but few of us realize just how much of our biology depends on it. In this fascinating conversation, Dr. John La Puma shares the science behind what he calls the "indoor epidemic" and explains why morning sunlight, natural sound, green spaces, distance viewing, forest bathing, and even gardening are biological necessities. From better sleep and sharper focus to stronger immunity and healthier aging, this episode reveals how modern indoor living is reshaping our bodies and what we can do to reverse it. If you've ever wondered why a walk outside can change your entire day, this conversation will leave you looking at the natural world with fresh eyes and a renewed sense of hope.
