One of the key takeaways from the conversation is the importance of owning your own health and well-being. Kelly emphasizes that pain is not a medical problem that can only be solved by a doctor, but rather something that individuals can manage and improve on their own. He encourages people to take control of their own health by learning basic mobility exercises and incorporating them into their daily routine.

Kelly also discusses common misconceptions around pain management and the overreliance on medication to alleviate symptoms. He stresses the importance of understanding the root cause of pain, which is often related to mobility restrictions or imbalances in the body. By addressing these underlying issues, individuals can not only alleviate pain but also improve their overall health and well-being.
