Your Body Is Not a Machine: Relearning Movement in a Sedentary World with Pedro Wunderlich

As we have stepped into 2026, many of us are exhausted—not just mentally, but physically—from a world that rewards stillness and productivity over health. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, guest host Sana sits down with Pedro Wunderlich, founder of Wakeout, to challenge everything we’ve been taught about exercise. This conversation reframes movement as a natural, human need rather than a punishing task or moral test. Pedro shares how modern infrastructure, corporate culture, and the fitness industry have normalized sitting, discomfort, and disconnection from the body. From questioning ergonomic chairs to calling out hustle culture, this episode explores how small, intuitive movements throughout the day can restore not just physical health, but emotional clarity, connection, and joy. This is a powerful reminder that movement doesn’t need to hurt to heal—and that your body isn’t broken, it’s just been ignored.

About the Guest: Pedro Wunderlich is the founder of Wakeout, an award-winning movement app named Apple’s App of the Year. Based in Guatemala, Pedro has designed nearly 3,000 natural movements to help people break free from sedentary lifestyles and reconnect with their bodies in gentle, human ways.

Key Takeaways: Movement is not performance or punishment—it’s communication Sitting less matters more than exercising harder Modern life is designed against our bodies, not for them Small movements throughout the day can transform mental health Your body, mind, and emotions are one integrated system
