One thought on “024: Wedding Season Done Right

  1. Dear Stephanie, yes, all wonderful ideas, I am all for everything good and sustainable. I can’t understand why on earth would anybody use plastic plates and plastic cutlery at the wedding? I come from Romania and over here it would be very impolite to do that. We use the finest China and the finest silverware. We don’t mind washing up. Just a few weeks ago we had a graduation meal for my son and we had over fifty guest, that meant 50 X 2 plates – main course and desert – + 50 glases, cutlery, serving plates and bowls. Before I noticed two girls washed up half the plates and later on someone else did the other half. It is really so easy, there is no excuse for using disposables.

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!
