Today's guests are Dr. Kelly Starrett and Juliet Starrett, co-founders of The Ready State and San Francisco CrossFit and all around dynamic duo. Kelly Starrett is the co-author of the New York Times bestselling book, Becoming a Supple Leopard, Ready to Run, and The Wall Street Journal bestseller, Deskbound. In his career as a physical therapist, Kelly has worked with athletes and coaches from the NFL, MBA, NHL, MBL, and the US Olympic team. I've been following his work since 2014 and would consider Kelly to be the first functional physical therapist in practice where he merged activity, physical therapy, and holistic living together to not only improve and heal his patients, but to watch them thrive.Juliet Starrett is an entrepreneur, attorney, author, and podcaster. She's also the CEO of The Ready State, the go-to mobility program for over 100k recreational and professional athletes, coaches, and personal trainers. She is the co-author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller, Deskbound, and was a professional whitewater paddler winning three world championships and five national titles. It's a pleasure to bring them both on the show today to talk about their newest book, Built to Move: the 10 Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully. The book offers an easy-to-use formula for basic mobility maintenance: 10 tests + 10 physical practices = 10 ways to make your body work better. It's been so fun to follow along their journey for so many years, and to finally talk to them about all the work that they have done together and the amazing power team that they are. I'm so excited to introduce them to you all and for their new book, which I know will be a helpful guide for anyone looking to overall feel physically and build sustainable habits for long term wellness.
