Play Is The Miracle Drug: Dr. Kelly Starrett On Movement, Recovery, & The Wellness Trap

Dr. Kelly Starrett is a physical therapist, New York Times bestselling author, and co-founder of The Ready State.

This conversation explores human performance and a wellness culture that's become a kind of secularized religion, fixated on optimization while the fundamentals get ignored. We discuss the carbohydrate revolution, why the brain chooses safety over performance, the Enhanced Games, the power of play, and much more.

Before the pod, Kelly put me through the paces with a Frisbee, a tennis ball, and a rope – and it reframed how I think about starting over.
