One of the strongest predictors of how long you’ll live has nothing to do with your labs or your workouts—but how you move every day.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with renowned foot and gait specialist Dr. Courtney Conley to unpack why walking may be one of the most overlooked yet powerful drivers of health and longevity. Dr. Conley breaks down the science of walking as medicine and explains why foot health plays a far bigger role than most people realize. They dive into gait speed as a key indicator of longevity and challenge the idea that pain means you should stop moving. She also shares practical ways to improve how you walk, rethink your footwear, and recognize early signs that your body isn’t getting what it needs.
