About this episode

This episode discusses the decline in children's physical activity and its implications for their health.

In this episode, we make the case that if you could put exercise into a pill, you'd solve 80% of what ails children in North America. Add sleep to that pill, and you're at 100%. But here's the harder truth: if parents aren't modelling it, if schools are cutting fitness programs, and if screens keep winning, we're heading somewhere we don't want to go. This episode is the wake-up call every parent needs about what movement actually means for your child's future.
