Movement Culture & the Nervous System: A New Framework With Ido Portal #36

Exercise has long been associated with injury and burnout because most people think it is all about reps, calories, or checking a box. But what if that mindset is limiting your brain, your nervous system, and your longevity? In this episode, I interview movement teacher and practitioner Ido Portal to challenge everything we’ve been taught about exercise. We explore why movement complexity, not workouts, is better for brain health, injury prevention, and healthy aging. Ido explains how the nervous system evolved for complex movement, why repetitive exercise causes injury and burnout, and how learning new movement patterns can rewire the brain. We also dive into practical examples like rock climbing, dance, racket sports, and playful movement, and why these outperform traditional workouts for cognitive resilience. This conversation completely reframed how I think about training the brain through the body. If you want to move better, think sharper, and age with strength and resilience, the episode is a must-listen.

We have the most diversity and freedom. We can mimic other animals. We can engage with a huge diversity of movement patterns. This is the core of being human, as a mover, and this is the core of why the brain is there to begin with.” ~ Ido Portal In this Episode: 00:00 - Introduction to Ido Portal 02:11 - The biggest exercise mistakes people are making 09:31 - How the brain evolved for complex movement 14:15 - Walking, gait, and nervous system development 20:04 - Strength training vs. movement complexity 24:14 - Dance, rhythm, and cognitive engagement 27:54 - Racket sports, strategy, and social movement 43:31 - Dual-task movement and brain stimulation 47:21 - How complex movement and proprioceptive awareness reduce injuries 58:35 - Where to learn more and connect with Movement Culture 1:00:28 - How to start practicing movement complexity for joint health Mentioned in this episode: Reversing Alzheimer's by Dr. Heather Sandison - https://reversingalzheimersbook.com/ Connect with Ido Portal: 🌐Website - https://www.idoportal.com/ 📷 Instagram -   / portal.ido   ▶️YouTube -    / portaldo   Connect with Robert Love: 🌐Website - https://roarlionsmane.net/ 📷 Instagram -   / robertwblove   TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/discover/rober... ▶️YouTube -    / @robertwblove   Disclaimer: This podcast is intended for informational purposes only and should not be considered medical advice.
