You Don't Need 10,000 Steps: The Truth About Exercise and Mental Health with Adee Levinstein
Monday, 30 March, 2026
Is exercise really as good as antidepressants—or is that headline missing the bigger picture? In this episode of Mental Note, we sit down with registered dietitian and eating disorder specialist Adee Levinstein to unpack the complex relationship between exercise and mental health. Together, we explore why one-size-fits-all fitness advice—like the 10,000 steps myth—often falls short, how diet culture shapes our beliefs about movement, and when exercise can actually become harmful. This conversation offers an alternative to rigidity and shame-based workout motivation by reframing exercise through the lens of "health-promoting behaviors." What truly supports our health? From joyful movement and nervous system regulation to the often-overlooked importance of rest, we consider a more flexible, compassionate approach. If you've ever wondered whether your relationship with exercise is actually supporting your wellbeing, this episode invites you to rethink what healthy movement really means.
