New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. --- From the way we sit while watching TV to the way we put on our shoes, our days are filled with opportunities to improve our mobility–without getting all sweaty. That's according to today's guests, who are here to teach us about some simple ways to keep our bodies durable for as long as possible. Kelly and Juliet Starrett are the authors of the new book Built to Move: The 10 Essential Habits to Help You Move Freely and Live Fully. Their book covers 10 tests you can do to assess your mobility "vital signs" and 10 practices you can do to improve those vital signs and make your body work better. In this episode we talk about: What the Starrett's see as the shortcomings of "the fitness industrial complex"  What mobility is, and why working on it is different from working out  Why you should practice getting up off the ground without help The importance of your hip range of motion Why the Starrett's recommend a minimum of 8,000 steps per day, not 10,000 The 'Old Man Balance Test' The 'SOLEC test' The Starretts' recommendations on nutrition, sleep, and breathing Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/juliet-and-kelly-starrett-611

Editor's Note (March 2026): This episode contains a brief reference to Peter Attia. Since this episode was published, documents released by the Department of Justice have revealed Peter Attia's connection to Jeffrey Epstein. We find these revelations deeply troubling and do not condone any association with Epstein or his activities. Please know that we have removed our interviews with Peter Attia from our library. --------- Starting next week, we're launching a six part series where we're going to talk to a vast array of experts on longevity, exercise, and diet — we're calling it Get Fit Sanely.   To kick the series off, I wanted to have our senior producer DJ Cashmere on, who's the architect behind this project. You're gonna hear him get really personal about how these issues have affected his own psychology, and you'll hear a very thoughtful person talk about what he's taken away from the months of research he's done on these subjects. And, we'll give you a taste of what it's like here behind the scenes at Ten Percent Happier.   Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/tph/podcast-episode/buddhist-beach-bod   Other Resources Mentioned: No Excuses: Race and Reckoning at a Chicago Charter School — DJ's audio documentary about his time as a teacher     Additional Resources: Download the Ten Percent Happier app today: https://10percenthappier.app.link/install  

New episodes come out every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for free, with 1-week early access for Wondery+ subscribers. --- Everyone from the Buddha to the Stoics have exhorted us to remember that we're going to die. So what are we to make of Dr. Mark Hyman? He's a physician and a student of Buddhism who is just out with a new book, called, "Young Forever." In it, he argues that your biological age can be reversed even as you grow chronologically older. So we decided to have him on, learn about his approach, and gently grill him on some of the things that made us most skeptical.  This is the second part of our new six-part series, Get Fit Sanely series, where we are trying to help you to make sense of the noise around getting fit–and to do so without losing your mind. A little bit more about Dr. Hyman: He is a practicing family physician, the Founder and Senior Advisor for the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine, and a fifteen-time New York Times best-selling author. He also has his own podcast, called The Doctor's Farmacy. In this episode we talk about: Whether there's a tension between Mark's approach and Buddhism Whether it's realistic for people alive today to think that we could make it to 150 or 200 years old Mark's contention that he is in better shape at 63 than he was at 40 His take on intuitive eating His top line recommendations on exercise The benefits of cuddling His response to critiques of functional medicine Whether his longevity routine is something regular people can do The research on cold plunges and saunas His advice on alcohol Full Shownotes: https://www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/dr-mark-hyman-609
