  • Episode 550: Liz Tenuto: The Somatic Exercises That Calm Your Nervous System in Under a Minute

    Episode 550: Liz Tenuto: The Somatic Exercises That Calm Your Nervous System in Under a Minute
    May 1 2026
    The Greek word "soma" means body. Somatic exercises were first researched in the 1970s as a way to release trauma and stress through tiny physical movements, bypassing the mind entirely. Decades later, most people still think it sounds like a woo-woo wellness trend. That gap between what the science says and what people assume is exactly why I wanted to sit down with Liz Tenuto. Liz, better known as The Workout Witch, has nearly 5 million followers, 240,000 students, and a 99% success rate with her courses. She holds a degree in Psychology from UC Santa Barbara, is certified in Pilates and Reiki, and spent six years being mentored in the Feldenkrais Method under Augusta Moore. With fifteen years of hands-on teaching experience, she bridges science, movement, and somatic practice to help people release stress, stored trauma, and tension from their bodies, using the same methods that got her off beta blockers for anxiety. Her work has been featured in USA Today, BBC News, Harper's Bazaar France, and more. In this Fitness Friday episode with Liz, part one of a three-part series, she shows me several somatic exercises live on the podcast. One of them nearly put me to sleep on camera! She also breaks down why your body holds onto stress long after your mind has moved on, what chronic stress is actually doing to the way you look and feel, and why so many people struggle with pain, bloating, and sleep issues that no doctor can fully explain. If you have ever felt like your body is working against you no matter what you try, this conversation will change how you think about where stress actually lives and what it takes to release it. What's Discussed: (00:00) What is somatic healing and how it differs from meditation, breathwork, and talk therapy. (03:20) How a ballet dancer with PTSD discovered somatics out of desperation. (04:06) The first somatics class that changed everything and why it made her cry in the bathroom. (04:42) How somatics reestablishes the mind-body connection when your nervous system is stuck in freeze. (05:27) The live forehead exercise that calms your fight-flight response in under a minute. (07:25) Why this simple exercise can make you feel like falling asleep almost instantly. (07:37) The cranial nerve behind the forehead exercise and why it works so fast. (08:23) The ear pulling exercise that stimulates your vagus nerve and gives you an instant energy boost. (10:40) How bilateral stimulation connects somatic exercises to EMDR therapy. (11:44) What CPTSD is and why somatic exercises help people heal trauma without verbalizing it. (12:21) The different schools of somatics that have been researched since the 1970s. (13:29) The somatic exercise for sciatica using a figure four position and gentle rocking. (15:19) How stress accelerates aging and why chronic stress caused a gray streak during a toxic marriage. (16:57) Why your body diverts energy away from repair systems when stuck in survival mode. (19:48) The scalp exercise that brings blood flow back and helps repigment gray hair. (21:41) The "chair twerking" bloating exercise that can make a difference in as little as three days. (24:18) Why sequencing matters and one exercise alone is not enough for lasting results. (25:11) How somatic exercises work as a full wellness modality for strength, stress, and emotional healing. Thank You to Our Sponsors!

  • Episode 549: Dr. Valter Longo: What 30 Years of Longevity & Fasting Study Reveals About The GLP-1 Trend

    Episode 549: Dr. Valter Longo: What 30 Years of Longevity & Fasting Study Reveals About The GLP-1 Trend
    Apr 28 2026
    GLP-1s are the fastest growing drug trend in health right now. But a 30-year fasting study says there's something every user needs to know before their next dose. Dr. Valter Longo has spent 30 years studying aging and longevity at USC, running over 40 clinical trials on what actually makes people live longer and healthier. What he found challenges almost everything the wellness industry is pushing right now, from 16-hour fasting windows to high-protein diets to GLP-1 drugs. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, Dr. Longo breaks down the science behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), why 12 hours of fasting beats 16, and what centenarians around the world actually eat. He also shares his latest research on cancer, Alzheimer's, and why your body already has the tools to heal itself if you stop getting in its way. It's time to ask the right questions about the hottest longevity trends that are costing people more than helping them. What's Discussed: (2:01) Who is Dr. Longo and the training behind his research. (3:18) The hypothesis behind why we should be fasting differently. (5:39) What a Fasting Mimicking Diet actually contains and why. (7:27) The difference between the longevity diet and the FMD. (8:30) Why 12 hours of fasting beats 16 every time. (11:18) The hidden risks of skipping breakfast nobody talks about. (15:47) How the FMD resets your body's locked-in weight. (21:12) How the "recipe" behind the FMD was built over 20 years. (29:51) Why the cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes versions of FMD are all different. (35:11) The trial showing nearly double survival rates in cancer patients. (38:04) Dr. Longo’s real take on protein and why less may mean longer life. (51:24) How often you should actually do the FMD. (53:08) What the research says about fasting and women. (56:40) Dr. Longo’s honest breakdown of GLP-1 risks and side effects. (1:16:19) Findings beyond fasting that slow aging. (1:23:21) The four things the FMD triggers that nothing else does. (1:36:31) Why nutrition beats exercise for longevity and why that's not the full story. Thank you to my sponsors!Kion: Visit getkion.com/habits for 20% off.

  • Episode 548: The Trick To Doing Things You Don't Feel Like Doing

    Episode 548: The Trick To Doing Things You Don't Feel Like Doing
    Apr 24 2026
    The problem was never that you didn't know what to do. It's that you keep letting the version of you who doesn't feel like doing it cast the deciding vote. That's the trap. We make decisions based on how we feel before the thing, instead of how we'll feel after it. And before anything hard, the feeling is always the same: tired, unmotivated, full of reasons to wait. If that's the voice you're listening to, of course you're stuck restarting. You've handed the mic to the wrong version of yourself. We try to fix this with more discipline, more motivation, or another reset on Monday. None of it works for long, because none of it changes the question you're asking yourself in the moment that actually matters. In this episode of Habits & Hustle, I break down the one question that changed how I show up for the gym, the hard conversations, and everything I'd rather put off. No system. No reset. Just a different way to decide. You don't need more motivation. You need to stop letting the wrong version of you decide. Let's dive in! What's Discussed: (01:16) The one shift in focus that changes how you make every hard decision. (02:06) Why chasing happiness directly is the reason you never feel it. (03:08) The backwards way we wait for motivation to show up. (04:08) What the gym actually proves about every other thing you avoid. (04:52) The pattern hiding inside one-night stands, tequila, and skipped workouts. (07:41) Why the conversations you're putting off are costing you more than having them. (08:55) The reason rumination makes you suffer twice and how to stop the loop. (09:56) The feeling that should actually drive your decisions (and the one that shouldn't).
