Why your movement might be stuck in one gear | NYC Solo Update
Friday, 11 September, 2026
Recorded between appointments, which is why Josh keeps promising to be concise and then takes a four-minute detour through every place in Manhattan he actually eats. This is the first proper update in a while, and it covers the Vivobarefoot store landing on Lafayette Street, the health coaching practice he's opening up beyond one-on-one clients, and a fall calendar that runs from Phoenix to Chicago to West Palm Beach.The turn comes in the back half, when he tells the story of a barefoot running workshop where he offered his usual line about running being a series of one-foot hops, and a world-renowned sprint coach in the room raised his hand. What follows is the part worth staying for: not who was right, but the idea of gears, and whether you have more than one.5 Key TakeawaysAsk what you are actually optimizing for before you pick a method. Most people only have one gear. .Invite the pushback out loud. He asks rooms to challenge him on his own concepts, which is how the sprint-coach conversation started in the first place. Stop waiting for everything to be polished before you share it. Long-form and short-form are not the only two options. STEMREGENThe whole back half of this episode is about gears, and about whether your body still has more than one setting available to it. That question sits underneath a lot of what Josh talks about: not what you can do on a given day, but what your body still has the capacity to do.That's the reason STEMREGEN is in his routine. As we get older, the number of stem cells circulating in the bloodstream declines, and those circulating stem cells are the foundation of the body's own repair system. STEMREGEN is a plant-based formula that supports the release of your own stem cells from the bone marrow.He'll also be presenting a workout on behalf of STEMREGEN at Eudēmonia this fall, and sitting down with founder Christian Drapeau for an interview.
