Do we need to lengthen our walks for better heatlh? Today we're breaking down what that research really found, what it got wrong, and how to elevate every walk in your repertoire. Plus: are you touch-starved? The science on why physical contact matters more than we think. And a little life update, too.

Thanks for listening to Wellness While Walking, a walking podcast and a "best podcast for walking"!

Our choices => extra years! What I heard at a recent conference changed how I think about aging. This is one of the most encouraging and actionable things I've shared. Because the research is clear that the gap between those who get this right and those who don't can be measured in years — and every day we wait is a day we're not getting our message across. Our genes need our input so let's communicate with them... starting now!
