You’re Probably Walking Wrong: The Simple Shift That Impacts Longevity, Pain & Daily Health Dr. Milica McDowell (Bonus Episode)

What if one of the most powerful tools for your health, longevity, and overall well-being is something you’re already doing every day - but not quite optimally? In today’s episode, we’re rethinking walking with expert-backed insights that challenge common assumptions (including the 10,000 steps myth). We explore how your walking speed, cadence, and even foot health can reveal deeper truths about your body, and how small, simple shifts can reduce pain, improve energy, and support long-term health.
