You only build bone during deep sleep, and only if you get enough of a growth hormone spike to make it happen. As someone who has spent her career fighting osteoporosis, I had never connected those dots that clearly before. Morning light, deep sleep, and bone density are part of the same biological chain. That alone is worth the listen.

This week, I am joined by Dr. John La Puma, the originator of culinary medicine. After reviewing over 2,200 studies for his new book, Indoor Epidemic, his conclusion is both sobering and actionable: we are spending 93% of our lives indoors, and our biology is paying for it in ways most of us cannot even perceive. Fatigue. Brain fog. Disrupted sleep. Accelerated aging.

What we cover:
Why 93% of our time indoors is a biological emergency quietly aging us faster from the inside out.
How 10 to 15 minutes of morning light resets your circadian clock and primes your body for deep, restorative sleep.
Why screen light within 30 minutes of bedtime drops melatonin by 20%, no matter what else you did right.
How deep sleep triggers the growth hormone spike your body needs to build bone, making it a frontline tool against osteoporosis.
Why green exercise feels 20% easier and drops cortisol by 21% when done in a place of your choice.
What digital obesity really means and why too many pixels burn out your brain the same way too much sugar burns out your metabolism.
How one hour of gardening a week can lower hemoglobin A1C by 0.5%, roughly equal to a starting dose of metformin.
What the Louisville Green Heart Study found, including a 22% drop in CRP, when greenery came to a community.
