137. Built to Move - A Lifetime of Durability, Capacity, and Longevity with Dr. Kelly Starrett

Are you tired of the trillion-dollar health and wellness industry failing to address issues like ACL injuries, substance abuse, social isolation, and depression? In this episode, Dr. F Scott Feil interviews Dr. Kelly Starrett, co-author of "Built to Move," a book that offers ten vital signs for physical health and wellness. Dr. Starrett emphasizes the need for objective measures to track physical health, just like blood pressure, and the importance of monitoring these vital signs with the help of a physical therapist.

But the conversation doesn't stop there. They discuss the challenges of identifying chronic low back pain and the importance of addressing small behaviors for better treatment readiness. Dr. Starrett shares insights on the role of physical therapists in building rapport with patients and tracking patterns to identify problems early on.

Lastly, they dive into the importance of durability, capacity, and longevity, and how it's never too late to start adapting to healthier habits. Dr. Feil shares how he's slowly adapting his bad habits, and Dr. Starrett emphasizes the core principles for healing and growing a healthy body, including sleep. Whether you're young or old, this episode is packed with valuable insights on how to maintain physical health and wellness, and live a long, active life. Tune in now!
