Our brains are wired for movement. And surprise surprise... we're not doing enough of it.

With a lot of us being "professional sitters," how can we ensure that we function optimally and feel great as we age?

How can we incorporate movement into our busy lives?

These are a few of the questions that this week’s Finding Mastery guest, Dr. Kelly Starrett, can help us answer.

Known as a “mobility pioneer,” Kelly’s consults athletes and coaches from the NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, U.S. Olympic Team and CrossFit; he works with elite military personnel; and he consults with world-leading corporations on employee health and well-being.

Kelly’s work, however, is not limited to coaches and athletes – he believes that every human being should know how to move and be able to perform basic maintenance on themselves.

In this action-oriented conversation, we explore why intentional movement is so vital to our well-being over time, best practices for managing stress and pain, and how to formulate a plan for the long game.
