Hi, Chloé –

Yes, nutritional value. So to get the recommended grams of protein for 100 lbs of body weight, you would, indeed, eat around 400 grams of steak. Most people vary their sources of protein throughout the day, however.

Best,

I found this surprisingly very insightful thank you so much ! Although quick question, 1g per pound body weight of protein : is that 100g of steak for instance for 100pounds of body weight or nutritional value of 1g of protein so with 25g protein for 100g of steak that’s 400g of steak ?

One of the key takeaways from this post is the importance of training for range of motion. Dr. Starrett emphasizes the need to focus on functional movements that mimic real-life activities, rather than simply performing isolated exercises. He also stresses the importance of proper breathing techniques, particularly when it comes to relieving back pain.

Another valuable insight in this blog post is the importance of balance training, which is often overlooked in traditional fitness programs. Dr. Starrett provides practical tips on how to improve balance, such as standing on one leg or incorporating balance exercises into daily activities.

Overall, Dr. Starrett’s blog post is a comprehensive guide to enhancing your movement and mobility. Whether you are an athlete looking to improve your performance or an individual looking to enhance your overall well-being, this post is a valuable resource that can help you achieve your fitness goals.

Are there any videos or resources for the “Tower of London” breathing exercise Dr. Kelly has developed? Tim also mentioned some back muscle breathing routines that sounded interesting.

Great pod! Loved Dr. Kelly’s approach for simple habit building.

Okay not sure you’ll ever see this and cannot post it in the right place, BUT in response to your Friday newsletter April 1/23… I checked out the Waking Up app you recommended and was intrigued by their Scholarship offering.

As someone who also offers workshops for human development/consciousness shifting I have always been intrigued by the possibility of offering via donation, scholarship etc but just couldn’t FEEL my way as to how to do it in a way that felt congruent/good. I have offered things for free in the past and my conclusion on that is that the person does not action and it doesn’t actually help them. No skin in the game.

So I clicked through Waking Up’s scholarship offer and it was a VERY interesting process: As I contemplate selecting $0 I feel a strong sense of shame… I wonder how I would feel if I actually was in the place where I could not afford even $39?

I wonder if they get most people selecting the lower prices?? And almost no one selecting $0…

However, I feel shame and like I’m doing something wrong even at the 50% ($59) option. So I wonder if most people just abandon the process at that point… would LOVE to know their stats!!

Posting here just in case this also greatly intrigues you, Tim.

Do you have any metrics on donation/scholarship offerings; uptake, effects, etc?
