Why Movement Is Medicine


Listen Later

Ever feel like wellness has turned into a full-time job? Between supplements, workouts, and the endless scroll of “must-try” health tips, it’s easy to overthink and under-move. In this episode, Dr. Becky and Sara B break down one of the simplest (and most underrated) habits for better health: walking & just simple daily movement — what we like to call movement medicine.

You’ll learn why a 10-minute walk after meals can balance blood sugar, boost metabolism, lower blood pressure, improve mood, and even support your body’s natural detox systems. Plus, we’ll share simple ways to weave movement into your real life (yes, even while brushing your teeth or watching your favorite show).

Because exercise shouldn’t feel like punishment — it should feel like a gift you give yourself.
