Summary

Movement is counterculture and as daily movement becomes less required of us our physical bodies pay the price. As Katy says, "Advancements to make our lives less physically taxing, have taxed us physically." Bestselling author, speaker, and a leader in the Movement movement, biomechanist Katy Bowman, M.S. is changing the way we move and think about our need for movement. Her eight books, including the groundbreaking Move Your DNA and Movement Matters, have been translated into more than a dozen languages worldwide. Bowman teaches movement globally and speaks about sedentarism and movement ecology to academic and scientific audiences. Her work has been featured in diverse media such as NPR, the Today Show, CBC Radio One, the Seattle Times, and Good Housekeeping. This episode includes why myopia is increasing in children at such an alarming rate, how movement helps breast health, the differences between walking on a treadmill and overground walking, why you might consider sleeping without a pillow, several ways to make the outdoors more enticing to teens and preteens, games you can play outside while you're walking and hiking and as always, SO much more. Katy is always a hit. She was also on episode 9 where she talked about whole-child, whole-family ways to get everyone moving more! So check out both!!
