In this powerful episode of Restore the Real, Dr. Randy sits down with Waldemar Franco—movement expert, guide, and author of Find Your Wild Flow—to uncover the shift from chasing external strength to cultivating deep internal alignment. After years of pushing his body to the limit through whitewater paddling, guiding, and intense physical feats, Waldemar was stopped cold by a brutal knee injury. What followed was a two-year journey of recovery, reevaluation, and ultimately, rebirth.

Waldemar shares how the injury and the pandemic helped him realize that true fitness doesn't come from ego-driven goals, but from inner awareness, rhythm, and ritual. You'll hear how he reframed “training routines” into daily movement rituals, how he listens to his body each morning, and how this approach has made him stronger now at 56 than he was a decade ago.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to redefine health, longevity, and personal power—especially men navigating life transitions in their 40s and 50s.
