Hey everyone, I'm Dr. Kelly Starrett.

0:06.5

And I'm Juliette.

0:08.0

And you're listening to the Ready State Podcast.

0:11.0

You got it.

0:13.0

You've got it.

This episode of the Ready State podcast is brought to you by Momentous collagen peptides.

So Juliet and I just got off a very long, I don't know, what's the word gnarly, sporty, rowing trick on the Green River?

0:29.5

Remote, remote.

0:29.8

It was very remote.

0:30.7

We ended up rowing a lot of flower water.

0:33.2

Water was low, winds were high, we had 90 miles to cover.

0:37.5

And it's like, if you've ever done a rowing machine and put the damper at 20, even though it goes only 10, that's what it feels like. Also, the slide doesn't work. So we did a ton of getting up and down. This is something that actually happens a lot to people when they go on vacation for adventure, is they end up overdoing it. They're middle-aged, like you, not me. And all of a sudden, they go hard in the paint,

and they end up withdoing it. They're middle-aged, like you, not me.

0:58.4

And all of a sudden they go hard in the paint and they end up with these little niggly things.

1:04.6

These little kind of hotspots. And guess what? We try to combat that by staying on the collagen.

1:09.9

So the one supplement we took that was a food supplement, we've been on our whole vacation, collagen.

1:45.9

Another thing I want to say about collagen specifically and why we use it, it's the one supplement I recommend to every athlete we work with. We have a young superstar athlete with us. I'm like, how much collagen do you take? Because I look at this as a food, and it's difficult for you and I, to be honest, to eat enough chicken skin, enough meat on the bone, enough ophal. We just don't do it. We, I mean, how many gallons of bone broths that you consumed today? I mean, unfortunately none, but I did have collagen. So look, I think this is one of those things. Good for the gut. Good for the gander. Can you say that? I think you can. Yeah, I think you can say that. But the idea here is, man, I think this is an inexpensive, safe.

This episode of the Ready State is brought to you by Virtual Mobility Coach. This may sound crazy, but last year, I kind of tried to clone my husband. Awesome. Only kind of, though,

2:16.6

you see, Kelly gets dozens of requests every day for help. And even though he wants to give everyone his personal attention, there just aren't enough hours in the day. So I typed in how to clone a human being into Google. Just kidding. But in seriousness, what we did do was create our virtual mobility coach platform. It's like having a virtual Kelly Star ad in your pocket. Which obviously everyone needs. I mean, that's right. I personally create over 600 mobility protocols for the virtual mobility coach. So the platform can help you with almost any movement problem imaginable. For example, let's say you're in pain. The VMC will show you a diagram of the human body. All you have to do is click where it hurts. And from there, we'll serve you up a customized pain prescription we call Mobility RX. The virtual mobility coach can also help you warm up and cool down when you exercise. Every day, we provide fresh pre and post workout mobilizations for more than four dozen sports and movements.

3:11.3

Plus, on your days off, we even have a video called Daily Maintenance that help you relax and recover so you can get back 100% in record time.
