The Synthesis
Tired, foggy, not sleeping? It may not be you, it may be that you're indoors 93% of the time. Dr. John La Puma, MD (physician, chef, and two-time NYT bestselling author) shows how just 17 minutes outside a day rebuilds sleep, focus, and energy. Start with his free 7-Day Outdoor Reset. Dr. John La Puma — physician, chef, regenerative farmer, and two-time New York Times bestselling author — is pioneering a new medical frontier: identifying indoor living itself as the root cause of disease. He calls it the Indoor Epidemic: the reality that we spend 93% of our lives inside, under artificial light and recycled air. The cost is staggering — disrupted sleep, chronic stress, accelerated aging, and diminished resilience. His solution is Outdoor Rx: a science-based prescription framework that restores health by rebuilding the missing foundation layer of longevity — structured time outdoors. From morning light resets that restore circadian rhythm to awe walks that lower inflammation, Dr. La Puma shows how just 7% of your time outdoors can amplify every other health intervention, extend healthspan, and reverse burnout.
