Are your workouts doing more harm than good—and leaving you with more aches than results?

In this episode of Better Health Bookshelf, host Mike Capuzzi talks with New York Times bestselling author and elite athlete Brad Kearns about why the benefits of walking far outweigh the risks of high-impact workouts, especially for people over 50. 

Brad challenges the myths of the running boom and reveal how simple, consistent movement may be the key to fat loss, longevity, and real metabolic health.

Listeners will discover:

  • Why walking is better than running for long-term wellness and weight management
  • How barefoot walking can rebuild strength and prevent injury
  • The daily walking benefits that support brain, joint, and hormonal health

Learn how to protect your health and get better results—by doing less, not more.
