Indoor Epidemic: 93% Inside Steals Sleep, Focus & Years—The 7% Outdoor Rx Restores Them

2026 International Book Award Winner-- Health: Alternative Medicine (American Book Fest)

Oprah sat down with Dr. La Puma on The Oprah Podcast in August 2026 for a full-hour conversation on the frustration, exhaustion, and anxiety of indoor life—and the simple 7% Outdoor Rx that gives you back your health.

“ Chronic inflammation, accelerated aging, and preventable disease often share the same root cause: disconnection—from real food, real movement, and real environments. Indoor Epidemic is a timely, evidence-based guide to restoring that connection. Dr. La Puma’s prescription is simple, free, and profoundly healing. ”
— Dean Ornish, MD , Clinical Professor of Medicine, UCSF and Founder and Director of The Preventive Medicine Institute "His Indoor Epidemic focuses on a strategy people in the Blue Zones have understood for centuries."

You aren't just stressed, exhausted, or getting older. You are living in biological captivity. We spend 93% of our lives indoors —bathed in blue light, trapped in climate-controlled boxes, staring at screens, and breathing stagnant air.

Your body is revolting, and you feel it every single day:

Fragmented, 3 a.m. Sleep: You lie awake staring at the ceiling, or wake up feeling like you never slept at all.

Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation: Puffy eyes, joint stiffness, digestive issues, and that heavy, unexplainable body fatigue.

Brain Fog & Anxiety: Mid-afternoon energy crashes, irritability, and a constant, low-level buzz of mental overwhelm.

Family Screen Captivity: Watching your children transform into passive, anxious screen-captives with zero energy for the real world.

The problem isn't your willpower. Your biology is running on dim light, stale air, little movement, and no timed signals from the outdoors.

The Remedy Isn't Another Pill, Workout Routine, or Diet.
It’s the 7% Outdoor Rx. In Indoor Epidemic , board-certified internist, chef, and organic farmer Dr. John La Puma reveals how modern indoor living acts as a continuous biological poison—and gives you the exact, evidence-based protocol to reverse it.

No expensive biohacking gadgets. No 2-hour gym sessions. No radical lifestyle overhauls. Just micro-doses of nature designed for busy adults and overworked parents.

Inside this book, you will discover: The Circadian Reset: The exact morning light protocol that fixes broken sleep cycles and ends the 3 p.m. brain fog crash without extra caffeine.

The Family Screen Antidote: Practical, stress-free ways for parents to pull kids off screens, restore their mood, prevent nearsightedness and protect their developing minds and eyes.

The 7% Prescription: How stepping outside intentionally at the right time, with a minimum effective dose of just 17 minutes per day restores sharp focus, deep energy, and years of vibrant health.
