Episode 598: The Most Underrated Exercise on the Planet
About this episode
For decades we've been told to chase step counts.
But what if we've been missing the bigger story?
Walking may be one of the most powerful health practices available, yet many people dismiss it because it doesn't feel intense enough to matter.
In this episode, I unpack what the research actually says about walking and why this simple habit delivers remarkable benefits for cardiovascular health, brain health, metabolism, mood, and longevity.
Walking isn't what you do when you can't exercise.
Walking is exercise.
And if you've underestimated its value, this conversation may completely change how you think about movement.
