Description
I am here today with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, a man with so many accomplishments it’s hard to sum up. Mark is an Air Force Reserve Lieutenant Colonel, a practicing family medicine doctor, a professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine, and a provider of continuing medical education courses on health, fitness, and running through HealthFit U. He’s also a doctor with SteadyMD, the doctor-in-your-pocket service I use and love (more on that below).
That’s just the start! An avid runner, Mark has run competitively for almost four decades and has logged more than 100 marathons and ultra-marathon finishes. In fact, he now continues to compete and has logged an under-three-hour marathon for 30 straight years. His notable contributions to the field include developing the US Air Force Efficient Running program and writing his new book Run for Your Life. In this book he summarizes the science and the soul of running, nutrition, and physical activity to help you maintain a vigorous life.

21: The Problem with Sitting: A Solution: Chad and Brenda Walding join me on today’s podcast to explain how sitting can be one of the most harmful things you do each day. You’ve probably seen the headlines… “Sitting is the New Smoking” “7 Ways Sitting Will Kill You” “Sitting is Taking Years Off Your Life” …and you may have hoped it was media hype. Sitting is Worse Than Donuts… It isn’t hype. More and more studies have come out proving how bad sitting is EVEN if you work out regularly. Here are three important studies about sitting… Study One: Sitting causes premature death (especially in women!) Alpa Patel (PhD), an epidemiologist at the American Cancer Society, tracked the health of 123,000 Americans between 1992 and 2006. The men in the study who spent six hours or more per day of their leisure time sitting had an overall death rate that was 20 percent higher than the men who sat for three hours or less. The death rate for women who sat for more than six hours a day was about 40 perc by The Wellness Mama Podcast
