In this episode of the Movement Podcast, Gray Cook and Lee Burton dive into the real meaning of wellness and why current approaches are failing us. They unpack how wellness is traditionally defined (think: sleep, nutrition, exercise), and why function—particularly functional movement—needs to be part of the equation.
From pre-diabetes in adolescents to movement dysfunction in military populations, this candid discussion explores the role of risk factors, behavioral health, and how cultural shifts must happen if we want to make a lasting impact.
