Buying For Life

We live in a world that’s always trying to sell us more stuff, and much of it is junk. Enter environmental degradation, wasted money, unnecessary headaches, and clutter. Lots of clutter.

Today we continue this week’s Buy Just Once theme with BuyMeOnce.com founder Tara Button, who’s here to lay bare the tenets of what she terms ‘mindful curation’.

Here’s a preview:

[7:00] Exactly how our ultra-commercialized world leaves us broke and lonely

[12:00] Examining the discrepancy between the “poor premium” and consumer rights

[23:00] 4 fixability elements to look for when researching appliances and electronics

[28:00] Thoughts on trust and brand loyalty at a time when consumer confidence is at an all-time low

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!
