STAYED FOR A BONUS SECTION AT THE END OF THIS EPISODE – YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS IT. You may not realize it, but poor posture can impact everything from digestion to mood to longevity. In this episode on The Longevity podcast, I am joined by posture expert Annette Verpillot to discuss how our alignment - starting from our feet - affects our entire nervous system and brain function. We dive into how posture is connected to the brain-body connection, its effects on various aspects of health, and the importance of working on the nervous system to improve posture.
