Like you just give me like a January 2nd, I floss for 12 hours.

You know.

One of the things that I was really struck by a quote in your book on page 109, you say feeling stressed out and exhausted isn't in your head.

Scientists, including the researcher Peter Strick, have shown clear biological links between how we position our bodies, move, think and feel.

Hunched shoulders and a compressed torso can force shallow upper chest breathing.

In addition to contributing to pain and soreness over time, that can increase stress levels and fatigue.

It's not like you're saying, oh, the only thing that is stressing us out in our lives is the way we sit, the way we stand, the fact that we don't move.

But that a lot of how we feel is actually being influenced by these kind of feelings.

Yeah, well, how do you think you end up behind a microphone right now talking?

That's why we're here.

Wherever it is that you sit on the bootcamp to sloth spectrum, we are going to have a lot more practical tips for you in just a moment.

But first, a quick ad break.

And we are back.

So a couple of the things that you say about kids are...

Tech use is impacting kids' mental health, but also their movement, rest, and self-awareness.

You also say that simply telling kids to get off their screens is not a long-term solution.

And then this is the one that I thought was the most important and you don't hear from a lot of people is young people do not need lectures.

They need tools.

So let's talk about what some of those tools that young people and probably the rest of us as well can actually use to increase our health and start moving more like you're talking about.

Kind of the Nelly of interception.
