Why is our western culture riddled with joint pain, stiffness, and circulatory issues? Because we don’t move enough. The human body wasn’t designed to sit in a chair or lie on a couch for hours on end. But for many of us, we play our role in society and work for long hours at a desk or use television as a form of relaxation. In this jovial and educational episode Drew’s guest, Aaron Alexander, explains simple ways we can transform our posture and attitude with simple, effective, natural movements that don’t interfere with our craving for technology. Aaron is a manual therapist and movement coach who is responsible for the Align Podcast and the author of the new book, The Align Method. During the podcast, Aaron explains how and why we lose our range of mobility when other cultures don’t, how movement affects our mental and emotional health, and why introspection is necessary and so darn funny.

Many times in our lives we are told don’t quit, hang in there, or stick with it, but is it healthy to continue doing something that makes us miserable? What if making a change could lead us to joy and contentment? To find the answer Drew speaks expert quitter and author of Quitting by Design, Dr. Lynn Marie Morski. Dr. Morski began strategically quitting when she struggled in her career as a multimedia designer so she did a 360 and decided to go back to college to become a doctor of sports medicine. A quarter of a million dollars later she figured out sports medicine wasn’t for her either. Did she flounder? No. Today she uses her varied education to inform others about the benefits of quitting. She is the host of three podcasts and she runs PlantMedicine.org where she dives deep into the medicines not taught about in medical school.
