Buried under “You Are What You Eat” headlines is another perspective supported by the latest research: You are, actually, how you move.
Move Your DNA explains the science behind our need for natural movement – right down to the cellular level. It examines the differences between the movements in a typical hunter-gatherer’s life and the movements in our own. It shows the many problems with using exercise like movement vitamins instead of addressing the deeper issue of a poor movement diet.
Best of all, Move Your DNA contains the corrective exercises, habit modifications, and simple lifestyle changes we need to make in order to free ourselves from disease and discover our naturally healthy, reflex driven selves.
The “movement is not optional” argument is so convincing, this audiobook was designed to be listed to while walking – each chapter listing the mileage for that section. An average walker will complete 20 miles while listening!
This episode’s actions
1. Take off your shoes and walk on some different surfaces. Enjoy the feeling of pebbles, grass, dirt, sand, or even that icky stuff that Katy talked about on the show. …yuuuuck…
2. Pickup Katy’s new book, Whole Body Barefoot and start reading!
Enjoy!

Our podcast theme music for this episode is Sorry, by Comfort Fit.
After all, these are kids of the 21st century and you just can’t take things lightly when it comes to their clothes.
Introduced to the culture in ancient times, it was different from the European bow from which
it was derived. If a shirt is made of 35 percent polyester, what percent would be made of other materials.
