016: Earth Day, Every Day

10 small-ish lifestyle changes to celebrate earth day, every day.

On April 22, 193 countries celebrate Earth Day.

The premise of the holiday is great, right? It’s a day dedicated to planting trees. Picking up trash. Recycling.

But there’s a big problem with Earth Day, and it’s this: It’s just one day out of 365, then it’s over.

When it comes to the state of our planet, there’s not much to celebrate; that’s why I suggest we honor Mother Nature differently. This Earth Day, let’s NOT pick up trash. Let’s stop producing it, instead.

On this episode, I’m delighted to offer 5 action steps for those just beginning their eco-minimalist journey followed by 5 advanced strategies for those looking to up their sustainability game. Pick one + join me!

Nature As Medicine

Are we treating the symptoms of modern life while simultaneously ignoring our habitat?

The average American now spends 93% of their life indoors. But humans evolved for millennia alongside the natural world, and research suggests that our indoor lifestyle is disrupting our sleep, focus and long-term health.

You don’t need a gym membership or expensive workout gear to get your health back on track. On today’s show, Dr. John La Puma argues that all you need is a 17-minute dose of nature, every single day.

Here’s a preview:

[4:00] Modern medicine tends to prioritize intervention over prevention. But why?

[7:30] We’re taught to fear the outdoors, but indoor living can be directly harmful in ways we’re only beginning to understand

[11:30] Why it’s time to view “screen time” as “ultra-processed time”

[16:00] Exactly how a daily dose of morning sunlight resets insulin sensitivity, hunger timing, and prefrontal cortex function

[30:00] Outside exercise is better for you than inside exercise, so take your movement outdoors!
