Barefoot Expo May 16-17 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesKaty's Virtual Studio - Try it Free for 7 Days!Inspired by a listener's letter, biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram talk about exercise and sport and how these relate to natural movement. They discuss how Katy's message has sometimes been reduced to exercise is ‘bad' and natural movement is ‘better'.Katy explains that this has never been her position; rather her aim has been to challenge the assumption that the only way to move our bodies is through exercise. Her work has been to expand our framework of human movement and provide a broader understanding of the shapes and volumes of movement required for human health. Katy and Jeannette also address issues raised in the listener's letter about gym culture and sports, noting that many of the negatives are perceived rather than actual or are to do with commercialization. They discuss the ubiquity of team sports across human cultures and the many positives that sport can provide, including natural movements—like throwing and catching—that are hard to get elsewhere in life.  Also in this episode Katy interviews Anna Yona, co-founder of the barefoot shoe company Wildling. Anna shares the origin story of Wildling and their expansion from children's shoes into the adult market. Katy and Anna talk about favourite customer stories, teenage shoe choices and Wildling's most recent venture—a rain boot—filling a much needed niche in the minimal shoe market.

Move Your DNA Weekends 2025This Episode's Show NotesJoin Our Newsletter: Movement Colored GlassesKaty's Virtual Studio - Try it Free for 7 Days!Biomechanist Katy Bowman and biologist Jeannette Loram discuss movement for the bendy body with their guest Dr Libby Hinsley, a doctor of physical therapy specializing in the treatment of hypermobility syndromes and chronic pain. Libby shares her personal and professional journey with hypermobility explaining what hypermobility is and the associated symptoms. Libby, Katy and Jeannette discuss the paradox that bendy bodies have large ranges of motion yet tense muscles and how a sedentary lifestyle is even more of a liability for people with hypermobility syndromes. Libby and Katy outline the ABCs of a movement program for bendy bodies that often struggle with proprioception and are easily fatigued. They emphasize the importance of higher load activities performed with very mindful attention to exercise form. They caution that smaller and slower movements are key whatever the exercise modality. Also in this episode, Katy has a conversation with Sohail Shariff of Movemate, creator of segmented active standing boards designed to be used while you work. Sohail explains the personal stories behind the product and its design. Katy shares her appreciation of the boards particularly how  these boards foster dynamic movement of the foot and ankle, something missing with traditional balance boards. Sohail and Katy also discuss the board's segmented design; the multiple articulations create a flowing but stable motion which means Katy can move and focus on work at the same time. Finally they discuss the value of the board in the therapeutic space particularly for those with a need for movement that soothes the nervous system. Books Mentioned:Yoga for Bendy People: Optimizing the Benefits of Yoga for Hypermobility by Libby Hinsley I Know I Should Exercise, But... by Diana Hill & Katy Bowman Made Possible by Our Dynamic Collective of Wonderful Sponsors:Smart Playrooms, design and products to keep you and your kids engaged and active at home; Movemate, dynamic active standing boards that invite movement and play into your workday, without disrupting your workflow; Correct Toes, soft silicone toe spacers that can be worn barefoot or in shoes; Peluva Five-toe minimalist sports shoes ideal for higher impact activities; Venn Design, beautiful floor cushions and ball seats that keep you moving at home or at the office and Wildling, minimal footwear for toddlers, kids and adults made from natural materials.  Thoughts/questions email us at podcast@nutritiousmovement.comYour Voice on the Podcast: Read The Credits

Best-selling author and biomechanist Katy Bowman returns to The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, this time joined by clinical psychologist Diana Hill, to tackle one of the most relatable struggles of modern life: knowing we should move more, but feeling stuck in patterns that keep us sedentary. Their new book, I Know I Should Exercise, But..., explores 44 common reasons people don't move—from time constraints to embarrassment to plain old exhaustion—and offers practical, mindset-shifting solutions to break through these barriers. In this engaging and eye-opening conversation, Ginny, Katy, and Diana dive into how movement can be seamlessly integrated into daily life, why our psychology plays a bigger role in exercise than we realize, and how embracing flexibility (both mentally and physically) is the key to lifelong movement. With humor, personal anecdotes, and thought-provoking insights, this episode unpacks the hidden obstacles that keep us from moving and how to overcome them—without the guilt, pressure, or rigid expectations that often accompany fitness culture. From redefining exercise as something beyond the gym to embracing movement “snacks” throughout the day, this discussion will leave you feeling empowered to move in ways that truly work for you. Whether you're struggling to find motivation, wrestling with comparison, or simply looking for new ways to incorporate movement into a busy life, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

The Science of Why Babies Cry More and What Parents Need to Know You may have noticed that your baby sometimes seems calm and relaxed…and then goes through a ‘fussy' phase, where they seem to cry no matter what you do.  Do these fussy phases happen on a predictable schedule?  Is it predictable for all babies…and for all parents? In this episode, we dive into the research behind the theory of the Wonder Weeks, as described in the books and app. This popular concept suggests that all babies experience predictable periods of fussiness in preparation for going through developmental ‘leaps,' but the science behind it may be much more limited than you expect. We break down the available research, explain why babies might cry more at certain stages, and help parents understand the truth about these so-called Wonder Weeks. What topics do we cover? How Wonder Weeks became a popular theory What actual research says about baby crying phases Ways to support your baby during fussy times, whether or not Wonder Weeks apply By the end, you'll feel more informed about why babies cry and have a clearer idea of whether Wonder Weeks is a useful tool for understanding your baby's needs.
