  • Nature as Medicine: What 2,200 Studies Taught Dr. John La Puma About Getting Outside

    Nature as Medicine: What 2,200 Studies Taught Dr. John La Puma About Getting Outside
    2026/10/20
    You probably spend most of your day inside. Most of us do... about 93% of our time, actually. Not to mention you’re definitely on your phone all the time. This is a health risk! To explain how harmful this habit is, I invited my dear friend Dr. John La Puma to explain what these habits might be doing to our brain and heart. He was on the show before, where we talked about culinary medicine and gardening! John is a board-certified internist, a trained chef, and he runs an organic regenerative farm in Santa Barbara. He also read 2,200 studies to understand why being outside feels so good. What he found became his book, Indoor Epidemic, which became the focus of our conversation, and how we are so starving for nature. Listen in!

  • How Houseplants Get Made: Plant Breeding, Trend Forecasting and What It Takes to Grow Millions of Plants

    How Houseplants Get Made: Plant Breeding, Trend Forecasting and What It Takes to Grow Millions of Plants
    2026/10/13
    Have you ever picked up a plant at the garden center and wondered how the houseplants even get here? I didn't think about it much until I was invited to speak at Cultivate, one of the biggest horticulture industry conferences, and I spent the whole time walking the halls. I'd been caring for plants for years. But I had no idea how much love and time go into getting one plant onto a store shelf. So I asked my friend Justin Hancock to walk us through it. Justin is a horticulturist at Costa Farms, the largest houseplant grower in the world. We talked about plant hunters, secret R&D areas in greenhouses, years of testing, and literally millions of cuttings before a plant ever makes it onto a store shelf! Let's dive in! In this episode, we learn:[01:33] Come hang out with me over on Substack![02:58] Welcome back, Justin Hancock![05:19] Why the horticulture industry is so grounded and generational[06:30] What has Justin’s experience in the horticulture industry been like?[07:38] Why many horticulture businesses are passed down through generations[09:29] How a plant gets from discovery to your local garden center[11:12] What is a plant hunter, and how do you become one?[12:14] What makes a good new houseplant[14:00] How long does a plant spend in R&D before it hits shelves?[14:11] How growers forecast plant trends years ahead of social media[15:51] Meet the plant rebels who changed history in Rebel Gardeners by Camilla Anderson![17:43] Plant hunting vs. plant breeding[19:35] Why aureums are so shy to flower…[20:52] What happens after a plant passes R&D?
