Walking is one of the most powerful yet simplest biohacks for improving health and lifespan. In this episode, we explore how something as simple as putting one foot in front of the other can lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and dementia—while also boosting mood, memory, creativity, and sleep. Learn why walking after eating is good for you and why walking makes us feel happy.

From reducing stress hormones to protecting our cells against aging, walking is something we should all be doing more of if we want to live longer, healthier and happier. Discover how many steps really matter, why pace counts, and easy ways to weave more walking into daily life.
