You have been interviewing absolute superstars in theyr fields and helping us with your own questions, always great too!!! 1 big ❤❤❤❤❤ for you.

I'm 47. 4 kids. Started lifting weights 5 years ago. Best shape of my life! Consistency pays off. Do not rely on motivation to get you working out. It takes a daily decision even when you don't "feel" like it!

Thank you , I needed that comment.

[@renevanderkraats224]

This is very true. Once circumstances (work, sickness, etc.) force me to break my rhythm for a certain time, it takes effort to get back into it. But you need to do it. The more it is a steady rhythm, the less effort it takes to go (and continue).

What I learned from my mom's death, and the days before it, was that NOTHING ELSE MATTERED, other than having her loved ones with her. Food didn't matter, water didn't even matter, her dignity and comfort didn't matter, living didn't matter, NOTHING mattered to her, but having her loved ones with her. It's so so important to be there for those who are passing on from this world...❤

It is never too late. I quit smoking at 50 after 37 years of smoking. I started running at 50. I am self employed at a job I love and still working. I love to walk and I do at any given chance. I just turned 70 and I figured if I live to be 80, I want those years to be good ones. I try to walk every day and I have changed how I eat and I have lost 10 lbs. life is movement and we must move.

Good job, don’t anything I might add is you should consider doing some weight training, walking isn’t enough, it’s a good start, but as she mentioned in her talk, you need to train heavy for you once in a while, but also consistent mobility exercises, and strength trainingwill help you go into your 80s and 90s Best wishes

good to hear your commitments.. I stopped smoking after 50 years .. stopped drinking alcolohole, never had frezzy drinks, Processed foods Such as fast food, snack foods, chips, cookies, cakes, and sugar cereals, which are often low in nutrients and high in empty calories. Processed meat is especially unhealthy because it's often made by drying, salting, curing, and smoking meat, which removes nutrients and leaves unhealthy carbs.

Everything she says is what I’ve always said, especially about women. Everything we were told about the aging of women is the biggest misogynistic lie in the world. Women naturally age much, much slower than men. Naturally, women were supposed to live 30 years longer than men. I’m over 40, and men my age look twice as old as I do. They look like my father. They also think I’m 19, which is complete nonsense, because a real woman at 45 should look like me, not like what they show in the media!!! By the way, I recommend to all women not to get married and not to have children!

I used to work in a cubicle and loathed the lack of movement and got very depressed. Not moving and being stuck in a little grey box was the worst. Ii took me years but eventually I left that job and went back to school. I am a carpenter and seamstress now and have a wonderful dog who I go on hikes and walks with every day. I have improved my diet with the help of this podcast and several others. I make significantly less money than I did a decade ago but I feel so rich in a plethora of other ways. I hope everyone out there can find the bravery and self-worth they need to look after their bodies, souls and minds.

I normally NEVER comment on videos because I find it a waste of time, but I do read. This is the one time I will reply and say WATCH IT ALL because you will gain diamonds that you will regret you missed for the rest of your life. Watched quite a few DOAC episodes (50+), this one is for your life longevity and how she explains every question and answers lets you know she has experienced the results herself and through others. Summarized keys but still you want to watch to gain her mindset: Be able to squat, and do it 9 hours a day instead of sitting in a chair. build up to it. sitting pandemic. 80% of us have back pain, this is the cause, that is the solution. do random breaks throughout day, wall sit, etc. watch vid if you want more info. joint pain isn't inevitable. you can in fact reverse it. build muscle. this is a BIG key point in a lot of questions that are answered. I've spent enough time for now, you understand. Namaste

It hit me hard too. I lost 40 lbs doing keto 3 yrs ago…then I gained it back. But I was able to loose it. My thing is SUGAR…enemy…and carbs…but I can do healthy carbs… I am re energized, motivated and excited to love myself enough to let sugar go. Totally letting sugar go. My time to totally take care of ME. I’m 68, healthy, a good 40 lbs, maybe 50 overweight. I can do it… This podcast is one of the best! Thanks Stephen for all you do to bring current research to light. And thank you for being a top notch interviewer. From time to time, do the interview standing. I know certain guests won’t, but ask your guests if they would be willing. I have always been more sedentary…and I’m going to change that. I just got a rebounder and will use it, and I’ll do stretching and walking…weights… Yes, thanks a million!

This is no joke however, neuro meds needed now (Pregabalin) this is all 7 weeks in as I write this, I am awaiting a neurologist, and I have had an MRI to rule out something more sinister, but I am determined to unhinge this somehow, maybe with movement? and I woke up and could SEE myself different. I was a dancer and athlete young but completely let myself go, after a strict life. When I met my husband, later in life at 37, he didn't seem to care if I gained a few...then a few more. I can come back from this. I gave up sugar, refined flour and foods, but moving is the thing I have put off, it hurts and one gets used to not pushing or hurting.

😮 Literally my face when she started talking about frozen shoulder. I've been suffering with one for 18 months now after spending thousands seeing osteopaths, massage therapists and physiotherapists because the doctor kept saying there was nothing they could do. I am 54 and have had weight gain, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog and tendonitis. Absolute nightmare! I wish this information had been around 5 years ago. At 48 I was in the best shape of my life, strong, healthy and confident. Menopause destroyed that and I'm now in the worst shape, at the heaviest I've ever been. I'll follow this advice with hope that I'll be able to battle my way back. Thank you for this podcast.

I'm 56 and it took two years to get rid of an excruciating frozen shoulder. No therapy budged it, and I tried everything; it needed to resolve on its own. I need to ask my doc about HRT.

[@shannonking6328]

[@Rhubarbandcustard]

I had two complete frozen shoulders. I went to physio, they told me ‘frozen shoulder’ was a generic term covering many shoulder problems, but I had absolutely and complete frozen shoulders. I haven’t got to the bit in the video where this is raised, you’re talking about HRT, so I’m guessing there’s a hormonal link. My oestrogen had to be blocked due to breast cancer, so maybe that’s why I got frozen shoulders. I was given a list of exercises to do, hard going but it worked. Obviously I had a good physio.

Every doctor should be required to be (and work as) a nurse first. I truly believe this would dramatically change their practice for the better.

[@greentara291]

One of the finest people I've ever met was a GP at Drew Medical School, affiliated with Martin Luther King Jr hospital in Watts. I was a 22 y.o. social work intern. He'd been badly burned as a child. It's one of the things that drove him to be a physician- the wonderful care he had received. Because he'd been a patient, he knew the pain and fear. The nurses would go to him when they couldn't find a vein for an IV, because he was so skilled and had such a gentle touch. They knew he'd find one and do it painlessly. Beautiful soul.

I live in Texas surrounded by hard working folks that have worked since they were children (I started at 7) and they seem to carry on until they drop.🤠My dad worked 51 years at the same job and in May, he was forced to retire because of health issues that can't be fixed. I've never known a person be so pissed off that he had to retire. Working hard gives people purpose. Meantime we have a generation that wants a 4 hour work week. 🤔

Both had extremely big hearts and helped everyone they could

[@josie5599]

​​ @VadaVoo I think there's a difference between doing tangible work where you have something to show for it and can feel some sort of satisfaction, as opposed to work where you're under constant stress, just feeling like you're keeping your head above water, and where you might sometimes feel relief but rarely satisfaction, like you can never win. I think it's unfair to judge people for wishing to minimise work like that. I think a lot of jobs today (which are worked by younger generations) fall into that second category. Working hard certainly can, but doesn't always, give people purpose. Sometimes it's just soul-crushing.

Not too late at all, I know people who lost huge amounts of weight well into their 50s and 60s. One of them is my formerly obese physician!

[@JuicyLeek]

@@thesupergreenjudy I feel that there are generally two types in the body positivity movement: those that disassociate physical appearance from attractiveness, and those that glorify morbid obesity. The latter is very harmful.

[@thesupergreenjudy]

@@JuicyLeek yeah I don't agree with the latter but they are often all viewed the same. The main goal of body positivity is that you learn that you are a valuable human being regardless of your size and deserve to be treated with respect like everyone else - some people (especially men) seem to respond well to shaming but I would argue that the majority just feels like giving up and worthless in response to shaming vs encouragement - I was body shamed since the age of 9 and I wasn't even overweight then. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy. In my country, unless you are a skinny minnie, especially as a woman, you are basically worthless. Many don't understand the harmful effects body shaming has on people. But yes, there are many subsets of the movement which go from the sublime to the ridiculous. I lost quite a lot of weight in between but I put it back on. Mostly due to stress. I am one of those that gains weight when stressed rather than loses it. And women in general have a harder time losing weight thanks to our ridiculous hormones. I know it's never too late and that it's possible. But that doesn't mean it's easy. I have an insanely busy life and focusing on yourself comes with sacrificing other things that are important like family and just paying the bills.

For the last 3 years I've lived a sedentary life. Four months ago I came across Dr. Jordan Peterson's Lion Diet video. After seeing it I researched it further and decided to go on the carnivore diet for the protein and health. After I told my son he was happy at the news and said "let's go back to the gym", which we did. In that time we've done 2 days on and 1 day off, then a bonus of 2 days off to recover. I feel beaten up but I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm lucky to have my very own personal trainer, who's happiest at the gym. I was overweight but I'm losing weight very quickly and getting much stronger and building muscle. I feel better mentally than I have for a long time.

She is talking mainly about 'holistic' care using a whole person approach. She espouses the biopsychosocial model of care. 👏🏽👏🏻 This is a really important message and quite antithetical to the typical American approach to healthcare. Worth a listen! 👍🏽

I am 59 yrs old and The 2hrs are extremely worth the watch! Thank you for this episode!!!❤

I am 60. I wish I had seen this at 45 before going through all the pain of frozen shoulder on both sides and working with clueless doctors and physical therapists! How do they not know that it is an estrogen issue... probably could have saved so much agony, time and money. 😢

Dear Steven, I cannot thank you enough for bringing more and more incredible women to your podcast. Dr Vonda Wright, Dr Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr Stacy Sims... all incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, smart and empathetic women who are sharing their knowledge with the world, hugely helping us women in our midlives. This is much needed and it's wonderful that podcasts like yours are contributing to better educated societies. Thank you, keep bringing them please!

[@rafaellozano1857]

I've listened to this twice back to back and shared it with the woman I care about in my life. This is a fantastic episode.

I absolutely love these types of videos. I go to the gym 4 times a week, but the one thing that's helped me with squats was having my first child. Whenever I'm holding him, I'm forever squating to pick things up.

Finally a doctor that shows style, elegance and knowledge. Finally a person with a nice voice and seriuous presentation.

The whole two hours of this interview is pure quality. Loved everything about this interview.

[@LightsOn128]

I don’t know why but I can’t stop crying listening to her recount the juxtaposition of the girl who’s dying with the sister who is just starting her life. Powerful!

[@suzyduncan7881]

Gosh this had me in tears as she talked about her time as a cancer nurse. I lost my mum to cancer when i was 21, she was only 48!!!! I loved this interview, what a truly passionate lovely woman and how lucky her patients are to have her! Xxx

It's crazy how nobody talks about a book Health and Beauty Mastery. It's a game changer in the health industry

I’m a semi athlete in my 30s who’s gone through a subscapularis athroscopic surgery and who’s feeling very lost bcs my doctor seem to not care about my post op wellbeing. Honestly, hearing her speak about the matter just moves me. I can feel her heart speaking and how emphatic she is. The world would be such a better place with more doctors like her💯

Is your doctor a man?

[@Jakesmusings]

I started lifting weights last year at 58. I was skinny with a lot of belly fat. It’s been a year and I now I have more muscle then I did at 18, my joint pains have faded, and my gut has diminished. It’s never too late to start! Thank you for the interview. what a great resource of knowledge!

[@aneeshabarnard7478]

I'm 45, and I gradually changed my lifestyle a couple of years ago. I've lost 30 lbs. so far, and my knees no longer hurt 🙌🏾

[@landsharkshredders3935]

Another interview I stuck around from start to finish. Thank you for having Dr Wright as your guest. She has answered so more questions here than any orthopedic doctor I have consulted before. Not only for me, but for my 88 year old arthritic mom who is getting PT after a year of recovery from stroke!

[@damewambuiofficial3276]

Just when I thought you had brought all the top guests then, Dr Voda came along. One of the best conversations ever.......she covered so much. Thank you Steven and the Team for a job well done!

[@tarifasalem]

She is wonderful! I shared this for the benefit of my fitness students, friends and family. I'm a 68 year old dance/ fitness educator and have had 2 total knee replacements and now struggling with shoulder issues. I know my level of activity has decreased and weight gain is a factor. This motivated me to get back to investing in my body for better functionality! I'm more active than most my age but realize after listening to her that I've been slacking since retiring from teaching, though much of what she recommends are the things I used to promote in my adult fitness classes. Thank you for hosting this incredible doctor.
