Description

Are you sitting comfortably? Well, that might be part of the problem. In our increasingly digital world, we're spending more time than ever glued to our seats - and it's taking a toll on our health and waistlines. But what if small changes in how we move throughout the day could make a big difference?

Join Holly and Jim as they sit down (ironically) with Dr. Keith Diaz, a leading expert in behavioral medicine, to uncover the hidden dangers of our sedentary lifestyles. You'll discover why sitting might just be the new smoking and learn practical strategies to break free from the chair's grip. Whether you're chained to a desk or addicted to binge-watching, this episode will get you moving in the right direction.

Listen in and learn about:

  • The shocking increase in sedentary time since the 1950s (you won't believe how much more we sit!)
  • Why standing desks might not be the magic bullet we thought they were
  • The surprising health benefits of taking a 5-minute "movement snack" every half hour
  • How fidgeting might actually be good for you
  • The unexpected mood boost that comes from breaking up your sitting time
  • A CEO's creative solution for improving company morale while getting employees moving
  • The "somatic check-in" technique that could revolutionize how you work
  • Dr. Diaz's futuristic vision for a "fast food of movement" device
