Movement isn’t optional—our bodies need it to thrive. Many of us struggle to get regular exercise, and even when we do, it can fall short of truly nourishing the body from head to toe. How can we move more—a lot more—when parts of us are sore, stiff, or simply forgotten in our busy lives? Join biomechanist Katy Bowman, M.S., and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram on Move Your DNA, where big-picture sci... more

  • Good content; needs more focus

    Katy is obviously an expert and tremendous source of information but obtaining that information from the podcast lately is like digging for buried treasure. Lots of discussion of how to to fit movement in with time constraints; apply this to the podcast and give your listeners and more well-structured, bang-for-your buck experience with less chit chat (you can keep some, but people listen for content!)

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Too Much Sitting, "Spiky" Cholesterol, and Heart Disease
Q: Hannah asks about sciatic pain and asks for causes and better exercises or stretches to address it.
The hosts describe that sciatic pain can stem from pressure on the sciatic nerve due to posture, sleeping position, or hip and spine mechanics. They recommend spatially oriented strength moves (e.g., monster walks with resistance) to increase space around the nerve, along with glute and deep hip work, avoiding aggressive stretching which can aggravate symptoms.
Good Vibrations: Walking, Running, Minimal Shoes & Vibration Plates
Q: Should someone rely on vibration plates for bone health or risk management during running?
Vibration plates can complement exercise but are not a substitute for regular bone-building or cardio activities; for most people, dynamic movement and impact-based activities (like walking) deliver more reliable bone and circulatory benefits.
Good Vibrations: Walking, Running, Minimal Shoes & Vibration Plates
Q: What do vibration plates actually do for bone, muscle, and balance?
They may stimulate bone loading and muscle engagement, with the strongest and most reliable benefit seen in balance and functional movement; bone benefits require mechanical loading, while muscle and balance can improve with standing on a plate, especially in people who can't engage in other activities.
Pelvic Alignment: Constipation, Sacral Pain & Sexual Health
Q: Could you walk us through a pelvic clock as a practical exercise?
The pelvic clock starts with anterior tilt (12 o'clock), then moves to 3 o'clock (lateral), 6 o'clock (posterior), and 9 o'clock (other side), with gradually smoother transitions and attention to engaging the obliques, rectus abdominis, and erectors; practicing in standing, sitting, and supine helps build proprioception and mobility.
Beyond Lifespan and Healthspan: The Case for Joyspan
Q: Can you walk us through the Joyspan matrix and tell us a little bit about give, connect, adapt and grow?
The four verbs form a simple, action-oriented framework: grow through continual learning and development; connect through relationships and caring for others; adapt to life's surprises with resilience; and give by using your strengths to contribute. The idea is that these actions interrelate and can be practiced in small, concrete ways to improve everyday joy and overall life quality.
