Summary
We are movement-deficient in this era of conveniences as close as the click of a mouse or a word to Alexa. Author and speaker Katy Bowman of "Move your DNA" and "Grow Wild" offers insights on how we got this way and what we can do to reverse the trend. She suggests that we make small environmental changes (like limiting screen time, switching positions when we are on our computers, and more) that can help each of us integrate more movement into our lives. She also makes a strong case for diversity of movement, and she explains how that nourishes our body in ways we might not have expected.

| 0:47.7 | It looks very close to its source in nature. |
| 0:51.0 | And so that's the same thing for movements, right? |
| 0:52.8 | We're looking for the movements that look very close to a human just moving through nature |
| 0:57.7 | because that's their source, of course. |
