Most people think 10,000 steps a day is the gold standard for health, but it’s outdated, inefficient, and often damaging.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. Host Dave Asprey sits down with 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, metabolism, movement, and the dangers of chronic cardio. He was one of the first to challenge the anti-cardio movement, helped popularize ketosis and fat-adapted performance, and now returns with a new message: walking is better than running, and doing it right is one of the most powerful biohacks for human performance and aging.

They dive into the Japanese walking interval method that outperforms 10,000 steps, and explore the critical link between foot health longevity, barefoot shoes benefits, and the brain-body connection. Mark also shares how minimalist movement improves foot strength for performance, why he trains just 20 minutes a week, why too much saturated fat might backfire, and how the grass-fed vs grain-fed beef debate plays into real wellness. You’ll learn how to build muscle and endurance with less effort, how to reverse dysfunction through biohacking foot function, and how to live by primal health principles with strength, intuition, and freedom. This episode hits hard on biohacking, minimalist footwear health, self-awareness, longevity, and the real science of walking smarter, not longer. It’s also packed with insights on nootropics, sleep optimization, athletic performance, and how to eat intuitively without perfectionism. If you’re serious about Smarter Not Harder strategies, tuning into your body, and reclaiming your natural performance potential, don’t miss this one. You’ll learn: • Why zone 1 walking beats zone 2 training for longevity • How foot dysfunction leads to systemic breakdown •

The Japanese Walking Hack: Revolutionizing Healthy Walking with Minimalist Footwear Like Peluva

Mal Antoni here, and the video above is what made me buy a pair of Peluvas about 5 months ago. After two weeks of wearing it daily, it is now very uncomfortable to wear a ‘normal’ pair of shoes for walking. Even sports shoes and dress shoes. It is amazing, what happens when you free your feet up. I used to wear Orthotics and could not walk due to being a fat Fluck for many years. The weight would crush by flat feet and I had serious walking issues.  Well, after losing the weight and getting a pair of these, no more Orthotics, and I love to walk now. In my complex where I live in Hollywood Florida, I walk all over 4-7 times a day in 5-20 min walks. Ultra healthy is what it is all about.

Here’s my report on Peluva and the Japanese Walking Method.  it works folks. Get healthy the natural way.
