#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett

What was said

"The average American is spending 20 minutes outside a week. Get out. That's what the data says. The average American is spending 20 minutes outside a week, and this is just in any environment, not necessarily nature."

Citing research from NatureQuant, Starrett revealed that the average American spends a shockingly low 20 minutes outdoors per week, not accounting for quality of outdoor environment. This sedentary, indoor lifestyle eliminates critical inputs for mental health, circadian rhythm, vitamin D production, and community connection.
