Durability Over Longevity: Build Your Pain-Free Body with guest expert Juliet Starrett

Do you feel like you're constantly "climbing" a mountain of health advice but never actually reaching the top? In this masterclass episode, Samantha sits down with Juliet Starrett—CEO, 3-time World Champion athlete, and co-author of the blockbuster Built to Move. Juliet breaks down why we need to stop looking for "hacks" and start returning to what she calls Basecamp. This is a system of five essential habits designed for the "busy working mom" who doesn't have time to meal prep or spend three hours in a sauna but refuses to settle for a body that feels like a prison.

We’re diving into the "24-Hour Duty Cycle" and how to stop treating missed workouts like moral failures. From the secret of the "800-Gram Challenge" to the non-negotiable science of fueling your body within 30 minutes of a workout, Juliet gives us the practical, "no-weirdo-diet" blueprint for becoming durable enough to live fully and independently well into our 80s.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

1. The Basecamp System: The five critical daily habits that hold your health together when life gets chaotic.
2. Durability vs. Longevity: Why "durability" is a more powerful term for survivors and high-performers.
3. The 800-Gram Challenge: How to hit your fiber and micronutrient goals without the "prison" of constant tracking.
4. Kitchen Island Steps: Why 8,000 steps isn't a workout—it's intentional movement you can accumulate in your own kitchen.
5. Protein Timing: The "30 minutes or less" rule for women that changes the game for recovery and muscle building.
6. Toxic Cardio vs. Mass: Moving past the "restrict" mindset to signal to your body that it is safe to build muscle.
7. Low Energy Availability: Why under-eating is the secret scourge of midlife and how muscle mass actually lets you eat more.
8. And so much more!!!!
