We recently launched our very own podcast, ‘Get Up’, where every week, our host India Pearson is joined by world-renowned health expert Dr James Levine.
In this podcast, India and Dr Levine explore the ways we can build an active, healthy and happy lifestyle without radically altering our daily routines and without emptying our bank accounts into state-of-the-art exercise equipment.
We have the pleasure to have Dr James Levine as our special podcast guest who offers insight into the science behind standing and its effects on our lives.
James A. Levine MD PhD, is president of Fondation Ipsen, Paris, and a Professor of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University.
Levine is an international expert on obesity. His research has focused on Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) and approaches to help people become more active, decrease cardiovascular risk and become healthier. He has developed multiple body-worn devices that measure physical activity and caloric intake, the treadmill desk and a variety of office & school solutions to promote NEAT.
He’s authored both “Move A Little Lose A Lot” and “Get Up!” as well as more than 200 scientific articles.
