0:00.0	It's episode number 300 of Underground Wellness Radio with the hilarious Katie Bowman author of Move Your DNA. Here's what's coming up. The way you move is an input. You are how you eat, but you are also how you move. You live in the modern world. I live in the modern world. Here's a mathematical, like, mind-blowing fact that you're never going to get, quote, enough. The good news is you're getting so little
0:21.7	right now and you're only playing with 4% of your day. So what happens when you OD on something
0:26.4	like vitamin D is great? But if you OD on it, you're going to have liver problems. So just because
0:31.5	a movement nutrient is good, the amount that you're consuming can affect your health.
0:38.5	Turn it up.
0:48.0	Yo, what's up y'all?
0:49.4	Welcome back to another episode of Underground Wellness Radio
0:51.8	brought to you by Underground Wellness.com.
0:54.0	This show is ridiculously good. I thoroughly enjoyed recording this with Katie Bowman.
0:59.4	She's got so much personality and she makes biomechanics really fun. But I do want to say,
1:05.4	if you are listening to the show with your children, you may not want to do that. I'm not sure. It depends on, you know, whatever you do with your kids.

The show is fabulous. The book is fabulous. Go out and get her book,

1:33.0	Digestion Sessions Start really soon. So go over to www. Digestion Sessions.com and get signed up

1:44.8	Hope you enjoy it.
1:46.7	Katie Bowman, welcome to the show.
1:48.6	Thank you for having me.
1:50.5	Thank you for writing such an amazing book I read over the weekend.
1:55.2	And, you know, when I go back and I think about college, one of my least favorite classes was biomechanics.
2:03.0	I probably got like a B minus in that course, right?
2:07.1	Because it just wasn't one of my favorite things.
2:09.4	And every time I pick up one of your books, I go, I don't want to read about this biomechanical stuff, right?
