Movement is Medicine

What if a treatment worked about as well as your blood pressure medication, and beat the drugs for stroke recovery? It exists. It is movement, and almost no one uses the full dose.

In this episode, Dr. Leo reframes exercise as what it actually is: medicine. He walks through what happens inside your body when you move, how your muscles pull sugar from your blood without needing insulin, how your heart grows stronger, how movement also protects you from the neck up, not just the neck down, and why the strength that keeps you independent is available at any age.
