Move Your DNA 2nd ed

Archival Summary & Scope

Bestselling *Move Your DNA* challenges the health and fitness world with its core message: there is more to movement than exercise. While "movement is medicine" is a common adage, this book uniquely explains how different movements impact us at a cellular level as our limbs locomote. It introduces the concept of "movement malnutrition," arguing that many modern ailments stem from a lack of natural movements—like walking, squatting, hanging, and carrying—our bodies still require for optimal function.

This paradigm-shifting guide advocates not just for moving more, but for moving *more of your body parts*, fostering a comprehensive "movement diet" over relying solely on "movement vitamins" (exercise). Dr. Joan Vernikos, former Director of NASA’s life science division, hails it as "a landmark in explaining biomechanics."

Packed with over 40 corrective exercises, alignment checks, walking guides, and simple lifestyle changes, *Move Your DNA* offers a humorous, passionate, and science-based path to restore essential movement. An invaluable resource for laypeople, yoga and pilates teachers, fitness enthusiasts, personal trainers, physical therapists, and athletes seeking to optimize their body's function and health.
