Summary

This week, we are speaking with biomechanist, Katy Bowman. She is the author of Move Your DNA and has a podcast of her own, Katy Says. Katy's thesis is to differentiate exercise and movement, she refers to movement as nutrition for our bodies.

In this episode, we discuss:

The road to becoming a biomechanist
Movement vs. exercise
Active people are typically sedentary outside their exercise time
Movement is a form of nutrition
Transitioning to minimalistic footwear
Where we are with movement now is where we were with nutrition 100 years ago
Your body evolves to its environment, for better or worse
As humans, we like to segment the body and look at individual parts
Minimalistic shoes - top brands
Consider going furniture free or using your couch less
Furniture is like junk food
Have better bowel movements by using a Squatty Potty + why it works
Anything that limits the full use of your body is a cast
An orca whale's dorsal fin flops over in captivity due to its environment (a cast)
Humans in the 21st century, what are our folded fins?
Anatomy and physiology textbooks represent sedentary human beings
The healthiest parts of your skin are the calluses
Pillows and mattresses weaken your body
Standing all day at work, isn't the answer
