Show Notes

If you think you have to be training for a marathon or working out for hours each day just to be fit and have a better brain, that’s just not true.

Our guest Geoff Girvitz is the host of the Dad Strength Podcast and an expert in health and behaviour change. He runs weekly online calls for men who want to earn the mug that says, World’s Greatest Dad.

But even if you’re not a dad, you’ll benefit from his wisdom. Today we’ll touch on the challenges of getting moving, movement, and brain health and get specific with some habits you can try right away.
