Episode Details

How do you keep your body strong, mobile, and capable as you get older?

Juliet Starrett, co-author of Built to Move and co-founder of The Ready State, has spent years working with elite athletes and translating what actually matters for the rest of us. Her message is refreshingly simple: the fundamentals—not expensive gadgets or complicated biohacks—are what give us a body that lasts.

We talk about the basic practices that matter most for healthy aging and long-term physical capability, including:

• Why strength and balance become increasingly important with age
• How walking and everyday movement support long-term health
• Mobility practices you can actually maintain
• Protein, sleep, and recovery fundamentals
• Why consistency matters more than optimization
• How to keep doing the activities you love for decades

Juliet's philosophy is simple: build the base first, then earn the right to optimize.
