It’s my first podcast threesome! [blush]
THE TIM FERRISS SHOW, EPISODE 3:
This episode features two incredible guests: Dr. Justin Mager and Kelly Starrett. We all drink wine and get crazy.
Dr. Mager is my personal doctor and has helped me with dozens of my crazy experiments, complete with blood testing and next-generation tracking. He’s brilliant (and hilarious).
Kelly Starrett is one of the top Crossfit coaches in the world, and one of my favorite PTs and performance trainers. His clients include Olympic gold medalists, Tour de France cyclists, world and national record holders in Olympic lifting and powerlifting, Crossfit Games medalists, ballet dancers, and elite military personnel. If you’re interested in taking your body or brain to the next level, or attempting to become the guy from Limitless, this episode is for you.
Enjoy!
