Most people think 10,000 steps a day is the gold standard for health, but it’s outdated, inefficient, and often damaging. In this episode, you’ll discover a smarter, faster way to walk for longevity, fat burning, and total body resilience.&nbsp;Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR</a>&nbsp;Host Dave Asprey sits down with&nbsp;Mark Sisson, bestselling author, primal health pioneer, and founder of Primal Kitchen. With over 40 years at the forefront of fitness and ancestral health, Mark has helped millions rethink everything they thought they knew about cardio, running, metabolism, and movement. He was one of the first to challenge the chronic cardio myth, helped popularize ketosis and fat-adapted performance, and now returns with a new message: walking right, not more, is one of the most powerful biohacks for human performance and aging.&nbsp;They dive into the Japanese walking interval method that outperforms 10,000 steps, and explore the critical link between&nbsp;foot health,&nbsp;barefoot shoes, and the brain-body connection. Mark also shares why he trains just 20 minutes a week, why too much saturated fat might backfire, and why performance should never come at the cost of your mitochondria. You’ll learn how to build muscle and endurance with less effort, how to reverse foot dysfunction with every step, and how to age with strength, intuition, and freedom.&nbsp;This episode hits hard on&nbsp;biohacking,&nbsp;functional movement,&nbsp;longevity,&nbsp;self-quantification, and the real science of walking smarter, not longer. It’s also packed with insights on&nbsp;ketosis,&nbsp;nootropics,&nbsp;sleep optimization, and why perfectionism ruins health gains.&nbsp;If you’re serious about&nbsp;Smarter Not Harder&nbsp;strategies, tuning into your body, and reclaiming your natural performance potential, don’t miss this one.&nbsp;You’ll learn:&nbsp;• Why zone 1 walking beats zone 2 training for longevity&nbsp;• How foot dysfunction leads to systemic breakdown&nbsp;• The hidden brain-glute-big toe connection no one talks about&nbsp;• Why Mark no longer runs or eats ribeyes&nbsp;• The minimum effective dose for strength, mobility, and fat burn&nbsp;• Why perfectionism in wellness is toxic and what to do instead&nbsp;Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
