“Most ‘biohacks’ numb your body—this one helps it remember how to heal.”
In this episode, Kelly sits down with Rush Simonson, Chairman and CEO of Juvent Health, a company pioneering a regenerative health tech that’s quietly disrupting everything we think we know about movement, aging, and musculoskeletal vitality. With over 25 years in medtech and surgical innovation, Rush has seen what works—and more importantly, what doesn’t—when it comes to long-term healing. His journey from spinal implants to cellular biomechanics reveals a truth most wellness circles ignore: real health is mechanical, cellular, and shockingly primal.
This conversation dives deep into the science behind micro-impact, why traditional vibration plates may be doing more harm than good, and how your body’s innate regenerative systems—bone density, joint repair, lymphatic flow, proprioception—are directly linked to how often, and how effectively, you move. You’ll learn why walking barefoot could be the most powerful supplement you’re not taking, how micro-motion affects brain health and even Parkinson’s outcomes, and why this subtle technology could keep your parents out of assisted living. Whether you're a barefoot biohacker, a movement minimalist, or just looking for ways to age with more autonomy, this episode is a goldmine.
