Your body can't heal faster than biology allows. But it can be ready. And the years you spend training may be quietly preparing you for the hardest season of your life.

Juliet "JStar" Starrett, world champion whitewater athlete, co-founder and CEO of The Ready State, and co-author of Built to Move. We talked about why durability beats longevity and how the muscle she built in her 30s carried her through cancer. She explains why pain is a request for change, not a reason to stop. Because the goal isn't just living longer. It's having a body that can say yes to adventure.

What we explore:

- How decades of training build resilience for surgery and illness.

- Why durability matters more than longevity.

- Why your 30s are prime time to build muscle, and why it's never too late.

- How to keep training through injury or surgery.
