Moving your body triggers a powerful molecular superhighway that communicates with and optimizes almost every major organ system you have. Exercise is the closest thing we have to a miracle drug, but knowing it’s good for us is very different from actually doing it.
In this episode you’ll learn:
• What the groundbreaking “MoTrPAC” study reveals about how our bodies respond to physical activity at a molecular level.
• The surprising ways exercise benefits 19 different organs, from improving your memory and mood to boosting gut health.
• How New Zealand’s “Green Prescription” program achieved a 14-to-1 return on investment and how you can tailor one for yourself.
Next week: We head to New Castle to cut down invasive honeysuckle and discover why exercise works best when paired with a deep sense of purpose!
