The Rich Roll Podcast

Dr. Kelly Starrett is a physical therapist, New York Times bestselling author, and co-founder of The Ready State.

This conversation explores human performance and a wellness culture that's become a kind of secularized religion, fixated on optimization while the fundamentals get ignored. We discuss the carbohydrate revolution, why the brain chooses safety over performance, the Enhanced Games, the power of play, and much more.

Before the pod, Kelly put me through the paces with a Frisbee, a tennis ball, and a rope – and it reframed how I think about starting over.

Kelly is a grounded source of trust and a force for good. Enjoy!

By 2020, veganism wasn't a fringe choice. It was mainstream. A few years later, the momentum faded. So what happened?

I sit down with nutrition scientist Simon Hill for an honest autopsy – the overhyped meat alternatives, the broken trust around health claims, the sanctimony that turned people off, and how eating plants got tangled up with politics and masculinity. I cop to my own part in it too.

No dogma. No purity tests. Just a reckoning, and a saner way forward. Enjoy.

Ed O'Brien is a member of Radiohead and the artist behind his new solo album "Blue Morpho."

This conversation explores the intersection of creativity and mental health, and the ways transformation so often mirrors the artistic process itself. We get into the prolonged depression that birthed the record, the dark night of the soul, childhood trauma, the surrender that comes with embracing uncertainty, the limits of AI, and much more.

As we talk, we realize his album and my book are circling the very same themes. Call it synchronicity.

Ed is lovely. Enjoy!

I think a lot of us are quietly struggling with some version of self-obsession right now.

So today I want to talk about a different way to think about all of it: fulfillment maxxing.

I get into the comfort crisis, the three P's we keep chasing, and why discomfort might be the price of a meaningful life.

And what it comes down to is this. Put the phone down. Take small contrary actions, make peace with discomfort – self-obsession is the problem, service is the cure. Enjoy!

Rachel Entrekin is a professional ultra runner and three-time Cocodona 250 champion who just won the race outright.

This conversation explores the mindset behind that feat. We discuss her shift from chasing outcomes to chasing joy, her "why not me?" self-belief, an unexpected encounter on the final climb, and her road back from an eating disorder.

Along the way, she reminds us how much more we're all capable of than we believe.

Rachel is a bright light. Enjoy!
