#30 - Movement is Medicine: The Power of Total Daily Motion

In this episode of Thrive on Plants, Dr. Daphne Bascom sits down with best-selling authors and performance experts Drs. Juliet and Kelly Starrett to explore the real reason we need to move more: to build resilience for the inevitable challenges life brings.

They discuss powerful insights from their book Built to Move, including the 24 Hour Duty Cycle, the underestimated benefits of walking, how to create a movement-friendly environment, and why consistency is more important than intensity for lasting health.

In this episode we cover:

✔️ Why resilience and durability matter more than just longevity

✔️ How to integrate movement throughout your day using the 24 Hour Duty Cycle

✔️ The powerful health benefits of walking and spending time outdoors

✔️ How hormonal changes in midlife affect mobility, recovery, and strength

✔️ Why play, consistency, and environment are key to lasting health

Whether you are navigating midlife, menopause, or simply want to feel stronger and age well, this conversation will give you clear and practical tools to help you thrive.
