Given the holiday season is ironically when happiness and well-being are often at their lowest and anxiety at its highest, I thought it might be helpful to share with you five of my favorite podcast episodes with some of the world’s foremost experts who can help you stay healthy, happy, and sane through this holiday season.

During the next 5 weeks, you will learn about the importance of movement, how it affects your creativity (and how to sneak it into your crazy day with minimal time), the practice of intuitive eating so you can still enjoy all the holiday food (but without the guilt), how to use mindfulness to keep calm amidst the holiday chaos, and finally how to maintain your sanity by improving the quality of your sleep.

Without further adieu, here is the second part of this five-interview series with Dr. Kelly Starrett who is an author and physical trainer to the military, professional athletes, and everyday people like you and me. His latest book is Built to Move: The Ten Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully, but in this conversation we cover his earlier books and he gives us an endless amount of information on how to stay mobile while being creative (and eliminate all the chronic pains we accumulate along the way).

The original show notes for this conversation can be found at optimizeyourself.me/episode02.
