Many of us struggle to get regular exercise, and even when we do, it can fall short of truly nourishing the body from head to toe. How can we move more—a lot more—when parts of us are sore, stiff, or simply forgotten in our busy lives? Join biomechanist Katy Bowman, M.S., and biologist Dr. Jeannette Loram on Move Your DNA, where big-picture science meets practical action. Together, they explore biomechanics, kinesiology, physiology, cellular biology, and natural human movement—and translate it into simple, effective ways to wake up your trillion body parts. With humor, curiosity, and a focus on longevity, Katy and Jeannette help you move smarter, move more, and create a more natural habitat for yourself and your communities in today’s mostly sedentary world.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T18:19:26.926089+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/move-your-dna-with-katy-bowman-873710"},"episode":{"title":"Exercise Pills Explained: Hope or Hype?","slug":"exercise-pills-explained-hope-or-hype","published_at":"2025-09-26T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/move-your-dna-with-katy-bowman-873710/exercise-pills-explained-hope-or-hype","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/move-your-dna-with-katy-bowman-873710","url":"https://share.transistor.fm/s/90d19ac1","audio_url":"https://mgln.ai/e/p1721/media.transistor.fm/90d19ac1/20d1e096.mp3","summary":"Katy Bowman and Jeannette Loram dig into the science—and the hype—around so-called “exercise pills.” They unpack what these drugs do at the molecular level, what they can—and can’t—mimic about exercise, and who might benefit—from elite athletes to people with disabilities or chronic illness. The conversation goes beyond physiology into questions of culture, psychology, and even the future of sport—where performance-enhancing technologies are blurring the lines between natural and engineered human potential.
