Angela talks to health and fitness legend Mark Sisson, a pivotal figure in the ancestral health movement for over two decades. They discuss the critical components of longevity, focussing upon the importance of balance, nutrition, and movement, particularly walking.

Mark shares insights from his new book, "Born to Walk," highlighting how walking can be a more effective and sustainable exercise strategy compared to running, especially for those looking to improve their health and energy levels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Walking for Longevity and Health: Walking is a fundamental human activity, supporting balance, digestion, lymphatic health, and mental well-being.
• Rethinking Running: Running, especially with poor form and cushioned shoes, can be harmful for many people. Walking, complemented by occasional sprints and strength training, is more sustainable.
• Barefoot Movement: Minimalist shoes or barefoot walking enhances balance, proprioception, and foot health, aligning with the body's natural biomechanics.
• Diet and Metabolic Flexibility: Centering meals around protein and achieving metabolic flexibility through lower-carb diets supports energy and fat burning.
• Importance of Collagen: Collagen supports joint health, skin elasticity, and overall recovery, making it a crucial supplement for active individuals.
• Work Smarter, Not Harder: Prioritizing health, creativity, and energy leads to better performance, even for entrepreneurs balancing busy lives.
