Summary

For many of us, finding the time to exercise regularly can be a challenge - particularly as we lead increasingly busy lives.

But my guest today really wants us all to recognise the critical importance of movement for our long-term health and wellbeing - something that’s very relevant today given how much movement has been engineered out of our lives.

Feel Better Live More Bitesize is my weekly podcast for your mind, body, and heart. Each week I’ll be featuring inspirational stories and practical tips from some of my former guests.

Today’s clip is from episode 356 of the podcast with medical doctor and longevity expert Dr Peter Attia.

Peter gained his medical degree at Stanford University, trained in general surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, and was a surgical oncology fellow at the US National Cancer Institute.

In this clip, he shares why he believes exercise is the area we need to focus on most when it comes to our health and longevity.
