![]() This is something that has the potential of helping many different things. How are we affecting the way our body is behaving on the cellular level by the way that we move or don’t move? Movement is a NutrientĭrMR: So this, of course, sounds very foundational. We’re familiar with the genome, but the mechanome is this new-oh, it really-the mechanical environment really does matter to cells.Īnd then the mechanical environment that I study is movement, exercise, all that kind of stuff. So it’s a whole brand new field really, which is the mechanome. There’s a lot going on as far as biomechanics of even things like cells that are cancerous in nature where they can move them to get them to stop being cancer. Some are musculoskeletal in nature, but others aren’t necessarily. Now, I really look at what makes certain diseases. Movement is the same process.Īnd so that’s where I am now. It’s how they’re absorbed and how their end destination of your cells affects cellular behavior. It’s not just that they’re put in your mouth. Nothing was really particularly spectacular, the stuff everyone has-Morton’s neuroma or that trick ankle and the ACL repairs that they had had from high school.Īnd I just really became interested in what makes particular individuals more prone to particular musculoskeletal diseases, which is when I went back-after working in the field for a decade-I went back to college to study biomechanics.Īnd I ended up where it was the beginning of my journey, where I am now, which is I look at movement, how movement affects things on the cellular level which is, of course, where nutrients are affecting things. So I started working with all these people who had had various, common injuries. ![]() So if you had a degree, you would get any person who had had some sort of medical exercise leave where they had been given physical therapy or, say, that they had a knee replacement or if they had a low back fusion or laminectomy, like a disk problem. But at the time, I would say there wasn’t great training for personal trainers. ![]() There are a lot of personal trainers out there. And there was about ten years in between where I was just working with people who. ![]() And then I did a master’s degree in that. So I found this small department at the university where I was, and it was basically physics but applied to human movement. I actually went to school to become a physicist at first, but it was kind of boring. I think I started in movement like a lot of people start in movement just because I enjoyed movement. But it’s the mechanical principles, the Newtonian physics, the pressures, forces, tensions-how that all works. It doesn’t have to be human movement, but I guess we think of kinesiology as human movement. KB: Well, I’m a biomechanist, which is a particular branch of kinesiology, which is the study of human movement. ![]() So super excited, of course, to have that dialogue.īut before we jump into the particulars, tell people a little bit about your background and what you’re doing now. So it’s a simple type of intervention which is this nutritious movement that I know you speak a lot about that can easily give people what I think is a pretty good return on their time and energy invested. People don’t need a lot of equipment or lab testing or have to buy stuff. This is a topic I think people can get so much out of because it’s a fairly simple-it’s something simple to do. Katy, welcome to the show and thanks for being here.ĭrMR: Absolutely. But I’m very excited to have this conversation with a really, really sharp gal. And today, we’re going to be talking about movement and movement as nutrition, I guess to put it broadly. Movement as Nutrition with Katy Bowman Episode Introĭr.
