162. Gentle Transitions with Chris Gayomali

This week, we chat with journalist, editor, and Muay Thai practitioner Chris Gayomali, founder of Heavies, a progressive newsletter on health, wellness, and fitness, about leg-lengthening surgery, barefoot fitness, and why "gentle transitions" might be the antidote to modern burnout.

We also get into the brain-boosting magic of creatine, the political wellness divide, the allure of self-optimization, ear seeds, energy healing in Chinatown, Aesop, Carmex, Bloom greens, Pulse PEMF therapy, Adidas Taekwondo shoes, farmer-strength workouts, and Zyrtec. Plus, Chris introduces us to Payton Talbott, the progressive UFC fighter with Björk on his Spotify Wrapped.
