Sustainable Shopping Is An Oxymoron

Sustainable Shopping Is An Oxymoron

Sustainable living has the reputation of being, well, expensive. When money is tight, how do modern families decide what to prioritize with their dollars?

Today I chat with Whitney Leigh Morris about the space where eco-consciousness and finances collide.

Here’s a preview:

[3:30] Think you can’t afford to be eco-friendly? Think again

[6:00] $8 leggings from Target or a $35 pair from an ethical brand? It’s complicated …

[13:00] Electric vehicle? Heat pump? How to get in the habit of asking whether you *actually* need that big ticket eco-item

[16:00] Thoughts on replacing items that are in working condition for more energy efficient options

[19:30] Are carbon offsets really worth the money?

[26:30] What ‘voting with your dollars’ really means

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!
