In this episode of the 1% Better Podcast, Chuck sits down with Sean Calhoun — founder of Arete Athletics and personal trainer turned functional health practitioner — to explore the connection between movement, mindset, and long-term health. After concussions ended his college lacrosse career, Sean shifted his focus to helping others build strength, energy, and discipline through sustainable fitness habits.
They dive into what actually keeps people consistent, why most quick-fix health plans fail, and how building a strong foundation with sleep, whole foods, and intentional movement can transform your life. Sean also unpacks the science of recovery, how to truly listen to your body, and why functional health is the future of medicine.
If you’re a busy professional tired of short-term results and ready to feel better, move better, and live better — this conversation will change how you think about fitness and performance.
