1
So what's a quick way that the person listening right now can feel the effect of gravity on their body?
2
So we're sitting here together right now, right?
3
We're at a desk.
4
Even as I'm talking to you.
5
Sitting is not a natural position.
6
Well, I mean, we do it, but we're not designed to sit all day.
7
Yes.
8
Right?
9
We're designed to be up and moving, running, hiking, whatever it is.
10
Right now, even as I'm talking to you, I can feel myself slumped over a little bit.
11
Yes.
12
You can feel like as you're sitting, even if you kind of try to sit upright, you can feel pinchy like in your midsection.
13
Like, you know, you're crunching the midsection.
14
So if anyone's listening now and maybe in their car, maybe sitting down, in a chair, you just think about right now, feel the pressure of your body.
15
in the chair and think about how that force is translating through your body.
16
And if you're kind of hunched over or looking at a phone or something, what happens is your upper back moves forward.
17
Your shoulders move forward and then your chest thorax moves down.
18
The diaphragm moves down and then the abdomen compresses just a little bit.
19
you've got this sack of potatoes in your belly that we call the gut.
20
And it normally actually hangs when you're upright and that opens it up.
21
And when you sit upright and you think about the muscles between - Just listening to you, I've noticed like I'm going from my great -grandmother's hunchback look to,
22
okay, shoulders back, you know, like point out - Literally think about the muscles between your shoulders.
23
How often do you engage those actively?
24
Like really engage those muscles.
25
in the mirror, I'm like, oh my God, my posture.
26
Okay, shoulders back.
27
- Well, that's it, you know.
28
So you can see it in the mirror.
29
And when you contract, what happens is the diaphragm and the chest moves up and the abdomen opens up, And it's better for digestion, for movement in the belly,
30
and generally for your overall mechanism to be standing up straight.
31
It's much better for your inner mechanisms too, the pumps and tubes inside.
32
So as you're listening, if you just caught yourself slouching, or if you've been walking and you even felt your shoulders forward, and even as you're walking,
33
you're a little hunched, just noticing that is a way to notice the pull of gravity pulling you toward the ground.
34
Yeah.
35
think a little bit about the back and the spine and keeping yourself upright.
36
Well, what's already starting to
37
go pow pow pow in my brain as i'm as i'm really taking in what you're saying
38
is this is an entirely different way
39
to think about posture and health because i've always just thought about the fact that
40
I should just have good posture just because I should have good posture, but I've never thought about it.
41
as you need to build better posture because
42
if you don't gravity's always going to be there to make
43
you slouch to make you look down to make you slump in your chair
44
and then your poor organs are smushed like the bread at the bottom of a grocery bag that's good analogy
45
and so Thinking about it like, it's not even about good posture.
46
It's that developing that strength and that awareness is how you work.
47
against the gravity that's pulling you down is that right absolutely and as we'll see i mean this is the basis of longevity.
48
It's being stronger.
49
It's being stronger of mind and body.
50
What are everyday red flags?
51
that For you, Dr. Spiegel, are like, you need to change your relationship with gravity.
52
- Yeah, I mean, these are everyday common things.
53
We talked about low back pain already, for example.
54
feeling dizzy when you stand up too quickly, feeling lightheaded.
55
having chronic pain, feeling exhausted, feeling mentally down, feeling like you're falling.
56
Literally or even metaphorically, like you're getting gut feelings in your belly when you're anxious.
57
All of these are signs of what I call gravity intolerance.
58
And it's easy though for doctors to say, oh, well, that is disease A or that is disease B.
59
And that's how we think about the human body.
60
But I think about it as all of the systems working in unison to stand up to this planet.
61
And we can diagnose gravity and tolerance through all of these different types of symptoms.
62
What's amazing is there's so much literature that literally how you hold your body helps how you feel on the inside.
63
You feel more buoyant.
64
You feel lighter when you stand up straight.
65
So think about when you are in a cathedral.
66
Okay.
67
And the ceiling is high.
68
Yes.
69
You feel glorious.
70
You feel heavenly the spires point to the heavens.
71
When you come into Grand Central Station in New York, you look up and think this is beautiful.
72
But when you come into Penn Station, it's been said that it's like you scuttle into the city like a rat.
73
These low ceilings, it's not glorious.
74
It's not amazing.
75
We have a neuropsychological love of expansive space, the heavens.
76
Even in our language, we talk about how up is good.
77
I'm feeling high.
78
I'm feeling down on my luck.
79
These are not just figures of speech.
80
These are not just metaphors.
81
That's true because emotions can be like heavy.
82
Heavy.
83
People speak of the heaviness, the literal heaviness of something like depression on the body itself.
84
It's an existential attribute of our neurophysiology that we love to have being in expansive, beautiful worlds.
85
And we do not love being in contracted, small spaces.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
