Build Better Time Habits for Brain Health with Dr. John La Puma — Part 2

How can you reduce burnout and improve focus naturally?

In this episode of Time Billionaires, Rebecca speaks with Dr. John La Puma, who pioneered the field of culinary medicine and taught it at Harvard Medical School. As a TED Medicine speaker, a board-certified doctor, chef, and New York Times bestselling author, Dr. La Puma has helped thousands boost their longevity and wellbeing.

This episode unpacks why burnout isn’t about motivation or workload but about energy and biology, and why ultra-processing time undermines productivity and satisfaction. John explains that our modern reliance on screens and mental tools misses essential biological inputs, light, motion, air, and micromoments outdoors, to reset neurobiology and build focus.
