E268 | Kelly & Juliet Starrett: Principles for Better Health and a Happier Life

What it means to be fit and healthy has been distorted for far too long.

So many of us know that feeling of confusion and hopelessness as we try to sort through the endless black hole of fitness trends, tricks and hacks making impossible promises.

The truth is that we need more straightforward and realistic solutions to our questions - Which diet will actually work?  What type of exercise is right for me?  How do I balance all of this and work a full-time job/ raise a family?!

 

As health and fitness professionals, Kelly and Juliet Starrett have been asked these questions over and over again.  In an effort to make these answers more accessible, they’ve created a movement and nutrition strategy for entire families to apply that’s flexible, fun, sustainable, and most importantly GETS RESULTS.

 

Dr. Kelly Starrett is a coach, physical therapist, two-time New York Times & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, speaker, and co-founder of The Ready State, the world's most comprehensive collection of guided movement, mechanics, and mobility instructional videos.

His wife, Juliet, is an entrepreneur, attorney, author, and podcaster. She is co-founder and CEO of TheReadyState.com, which has revolutionized how athletes think about human movement and athletic performance, as well as former CEO of San Francisco CrossFit, one of the first 50 CrossFit affiliates. She is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal Bestseller, Deskbound, and co-host of The Ready State Podcast. 

In today’s episode, we not only discuss the ins and outs of their new book, Built to Move, but also how the adversity in their lives has contributed to their success today.  Specifically, we speak about:

• The “vital signs” that anyone can track and evaluate daily to rate themselves and others on the “healthy” scale (21:50)
• How their strategy can improve performance in whatever sense of the word you prefer (31:30)
• The difference between their book and every other “fitness” book out there (43:20)
• How tough upbringings have contributed to their success, both professionally and personally (53:00)
