Is walking the real key to a long, healthy life? In this thought-provoking episode, Kelly & Juliet Starrett dive into why walking might be the ultimate exercise for longevity and health, as shared by bestselling author and fitness expert, Mark Sisson.


Drawing from his new book Born to Walk, Mark challenges the widely-held belief that running is the best form of exercise for everyone. Discover how walking supports your body's natural design, helps maintain muscle mass, and promotes overall well-being—without the risks of chronic injuries linked to running.


We also explore the hidden dangers of modern running shoes, the myths surrounding running for weight loss, and why sprinting and weight training may be better for your body. Whether you're a runner, walker, or just curious about optimizing your health, this episode will change the way you think about movement.
