Summary

Season 3 of The Ready State is here and it's all about KIDS! We wanted to understand how to raise happy, healthy, well-adjusted kids without mucking it up. We talk extensively about nutrition, fitness, sleep, the current state of childhood obesity, sports specialization, what we are doing right, and what we are getting wrong. Our goal was to provide parents and coaches with tons of practical advice and takeaways that are both actionable and reasonable. Check out these fascinating conversations with Mark Verstegen of EXOS, John O'Sullivan, Dr. Jose Greenspon, Dr. Stacy Sims, Gray Cook, Dr. Mark Benden, Katie Wells, and Nic Gill of the All Blacks.

One of the things that, you know, as young parents, we came coming up against was this thing

1:01.5

called the juice box, right? That we go to a party and it was just like, we were like,

1:05.9

wow, our kids are being just wired for juice boxes. In fact, when we had Georgia's kindergarten birthday party and did not offer juice boxes, the kids at the party were indignant and actually came up to us and said, where are the juice boxes?
