On today’s episode, we’re covering all things stress, including:
- What happens to your body when you’re stressed
- How to relax so you can think more clearly and sleep soundly, every single night
- And why true relaxation requires more than just a Netflix binge session

051 Stop Walking Like a Duck (and Why Turn Out Could Be Irritating Your Hips and Knees)
We tend to think that issues like bunions, knee pain, and tight hips are hereditary, but if your feet are always turned out, your lower body pain probably has more to do with your position than anything else. And the fix isn’t expensive shoes or stretching your hips for hours a day. It might be as simple as changing your foot position.
In today’s episode, I cover:
