Coach Kelly Starrett founded San Francisco CrossFit with his wife Juliet. Since opening its doors in 2005 as one of the first 50 CrossFit Affiliates, this athletic training center has become the prime coaching resource for reigning Olympians, national and world champions, tri-athletes, runners, and recreational athletes alike. Kelly’s focused coaching and warm personality brings his professional training as a strength coach and a doctor of physical therapy to life for brilliant coaching in a positive environment. Kelly is an inspiration to nearly everyone he meets, causing even superior athletes to re-examine their physical capacities and reach higher levels, and motivating beginners to believe in their natural ability to excel.
Kelly received his Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2007 from Samuel Merritt College in Oakland, California. Before starting his own physical therapy practice at San Francisco CrossFit, he practiced performance-based physical therapy at the world-renowned Stone Clinic. In current practice, Kelly continues to focus on performance-based Orthopedic Sports Medicine with an emphasis on returning athletes to elite level sport and performance. His clients see exceptional results from his progressive blend of manual physical therapy and strength training. Kelly’s clients have included Olympic gold-medalists, world-class extreme skiers and X-Games medalists, dancers with Smuin, San Francisco, and Sacramento Ballet Companies, military personnel, and competitive age-division athletes.
Kelly’s background as an athlete and coach includes paddling whitewater slalom canoe on the US Canoe and Kayak Teams, and leading the Men’s Whitewater Rafting Team to two national titles and competition in two World Championships.
Here is just some of what we discuss:

     

  • Genetic testing
  • Obsessed to learn
  • You have to coach a lot to be a good coach
  • How the fitness community has changed
  • Writing “Becoming a supple leopard”
  • What’s wrong with modern medicine
  • And much, much more…

While I was training people and having welders build equipment for my gym, he was doing  exactly the same thing  a few thousand miles north of me.  And today both now age 56 and totally blind we continue to train clients and spread the word.  I say have a conversation because this is far more that than an interview.
Where we lose our simalaritys is Randy’s huge acomplishments as a historian and author.
Some of the highlights of part 1 include:

  •  Early athletics
  • Stevens Johnson Syndrome
  • Dealing with lifes changes
  • Dave Draper, an early hero for both of us
  • Early employment and education
  • Designing and building his own gym equipment
  • How losing his vision made him a better personal trainer
  • Finding the right approach for each client

This week’s show focuses on nutrition. In response to numerous readers’ questions on such topics as food allergies and elimination diets I brought in my good friend Brooks Kubik to discuss some of his personal research.

Brooks Kubik www.brookskubik.com is one of the most prolific authors in Physical Culture.

Brooks has been training for over 45 years and has demonstrated time and again, by using his own body that his training and nutrition methods work! Brooks is a multi-time state and regional powerlifting champion and has set over a dozen national and world records in the bench press. All as a drug tested athlete!

Brooks has also authored numerous articles featured in many of the industry’s leading publications. He has two dozen books, courses and DVDs to his credit. Brooks and his beautiful wife, Trudi live in Louisville, Kentucky, where they promote sustainable living practices, enjoy a healthy, super-nutritious, all-natural diet, (much of which they grow themselves) and together they run the Dinosaur operation.

Some of the topics we discuss include:

  • Adkins before Adkins
  • Cancer is a disease of civilization
  • Forgotten nutritional research
  • It was good for you, it was bad for you, and it’s good for you again
  • Food allergies and intolerances
  • Hidden allergies and elimination diets
  • Mental illness and food sensitivities
  • Organic food…nothing new
  • Not everything has to be organic
  • It’s not that much more expensive
  • Its only expensive if you buy from “big organic”
  • Support local farmers and growers

The SeroTalk Podcast Network proudly introduces a new member to the SPN family. Here is Bill Kociaba’s debut on the Network:

An Interview With Jaina Mistry

I recently interviewed an extraordinary young lady from the UK. Jaina Mistery began her life as a typical young girl growing up in England. Her life was pretty average until tragedy struck when she was only 17. How she bounced back from that tragedy and what she has accomplished since then makes for one of the most inspirational stories you will ever hear!

Interview highlights:

  • A typical teenager

    • Poor body image

      • How an allergic reaction to penicillin changed her life

        • Steven’s Johnson Disease

          • Her 3 month hospital stay

            • RNIB

              • Complimentary therapies

                • Finding out who her real friends were

                  • 2009, back to the hospital 3 times

                    • Finding a trainer

                      • Not the most cooperative client

                        • Achieving her first fitness goal

                          • Her best birthday present ever

                            • A new friend and new found confidence

                              • National fitness award

                                • Jaina’s Journey

                                  • UK’s first blind female fitness instructor

                                    • Where to next

                                    To learn more about her, stop by her Facebook page, Facebook.com/jainasjourney.
