Does taking cartilage repair the damage done in hips that have been damaged

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 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. Never please say it is too late, it is one day at a time, one step at a time ❤

Ok, you are so correct, just turned 70 this month and you have to work at maintaining your health on a daily basis!! Never too late, never realized how simple stretching can help strengthen your whole body! 😍

[@thoralder4963]

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.

[@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'm a 79 year old female. My adult son has been into body-building most of his life. Most of my life I've been fairly active to the point of joining my son in the gym for about a year. 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. Both my son, healthy diet and workouts are giving me a reason to want to live.

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.

[@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.

Don’t skip anything in this podcast . It has changed my life literally. Thank you both so much!

[@brittanyzahn7939]

First off, Dr. Vonda Wright seems like a wonderful, genuine person. Wish all Drs were as compassionate as her. Great episode! Currently I'm in that prime stage as she called it, at age 32. Up until last year I lived a very lazy lifestyle. I didn't care what I put in my body and never worked out. I had horrible back issues and stomach issues. I knew I needed to make a change because I couldn't live like that anymore. Started watching what I eat and doing kettlebells 3x a week and wow what a difference! I lost 30 pounds and I haven't had to go to the chiropractor for my back anymore! My joints also don't hurt like they used to. Being able to simply get up and or kneel is SO MUCH easier. Who knew just 30 pounds could do that (I'm no where near my ideal weight and am still considered "obese", I know I'm still on the right track). I don't get as much stomach issues anymore as well with not eating as much processed foods as I used to. My family has a history of heart disease, cancer and diabetes and tend to not live past 75. I want to be the exception and not follow in my family's footsteps. This podcast episode gave me so much hope that I can control my own future.

I am 27 and just recently embarked on a health journey. Not a weight loss one, although I am obese. But my utmost priority is exactly what Dr. Vonda is talking about - living healthy and fulfilled life not just now, but 50 years from now. I don't want to be a part of today's statistics. I don't want to be a victim of my laziness and circumstances. I don't want to spend my lifetime popping pills for diseases, disorders and conditions a simple lifestyle change could have changed, simply because it's easier to swallow a pill then it is to break a sweat. I want my future children to exercise, eat nutritious food, be healthy, and how can I install that into them, if I don't lead by example? Just because I grew up in a family where exercise is not a normal, daily thing but a chore, where eating nutritious food was considered "a diet" and where the solution to every health issue wasn't which lifestyle change to introduce, but which medicine to take, doesn't mean my children need to live the same way. I will break the generational curse and old ways of upbringing and rearrange them to allow my children to live long, healthy, safe lives, with their mum as a good role model and support system they can always and forever rely on. I started a a bit over 2 months ago, I gained a momentum and I sincerely wonder how I was alive and (moderately) healthy so far. I appreciate my body so much for not giving up on me, when I gave up on it. Now it's my turn to show gratitude and work for the better of both my physical, mental and emotional self.

[@angelachouinard4581]

You are so positive I salute you and wish you ultimate success. It's so easy to gain weight in our society, too much busy work, sedentary activities, lousy food and stress. I have found when you deal with quality of life and get rid of the "saboteurs" your weight comes off slowly but surely. I had a very intense IT contract once, Eating on the run, working overnight and lots of deadline stress. I gained weight. Once the contract was over I got back to the gym, cooked at home, worked normal hours and the wight came off all by itself.

I also walked 3 miles every other day. Within the first week, I stopped 20 mg of Nexium (for acid reflux). By the end of the month I was walking 5 miles every other day. February, I was rarely hungry so I only ate when I was hungry. By the end of February, I was eating one meal a day (OMAD). I stopped my anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications and 2 of my blood pressure medications. March, I was walking 8 miles every other day. June, I had the best blood test result ever. October, I weighed 190 lbs and I was off my other blood pressure medication and sleep medication. Two and 1/2 years after I started. I still weigh the same. I’m walking up to 10 miles every other day. I still eat OMAD. My diet is beef, salmon, eggs, sardines, sauerkraut and two types of kimchi. I will also eat pecans and at times cheese. I supplement with Vitamin D3/K2, magnesium, zinc, sea kelp for iodine, B1, nutritional yeast (for B complex). I drink coffee in the morning and drink electrolyte infused water/green tea throughout the day.

[@AminaGoodwinMD]

Dr Vonda is right about sedentary death. As a doctor I’ve never been sedentary, having to walk all over the hospital to see my patients. Then in December 2022 I decided to try a “work from home” job where I sat at my desk for most of 8 hours. Even though I continued to do the SAME exercise as when I was working in the hospital, I developed back aches and over the course of 13 months, I gained 13 pounds! And I’d NEVER been able to gain weight previously, being borderline underweight my whole life. I quit that job and went back to working in a hospital. I dropped the 13 pounds in less than 2 months! And my backaches disappeared. My conclusion from that year sitting at home is that desk work is an unnatural state of being for humans, and episodic movement trumps one hour of exercise at the start or end of the day. It’s unfortunate that most of us are trained to believe that doing desk work for 40 years is natural. It’s a slow death. As Dr Vonda says, no wonder many people get sick and die soon after they retire from these awful sitting jobs. Great interview! 🙏

Many procedures and medications can be avoided by eliminating sugar and processed foods and incorporating exercise in daily routine. Maintaining connections with family and friends is also very important.

I learned so much from their individual channels too. Dr Vonda Wright has definitely made me more diligent with my weight training and it's helped me feel stronger. I have gone down from size 2xl-3xl to practically M now, and my blood pressure is consistently within 110/70 - 120/80 instead of the nagging 135/85 - 140/90 before. I still have stiffness in my knees which started about 2-3years ago, making me have to do my prayers seated on a chair instead of the normal way. But these days I am able to alternate praying the normal way and seated on a chair, Alhamdulillah, yayyyy!!! It's a work in progress and I'm keeping at it, InsyaaAllah ❤. I eat well and clean too now, completely off sugar, regulating carbs and focusing more on vegetables, fibers, proteins, probiotics, all with real whole foods. Oh, and I LOVE your episode about coffee with James Hoffman too, I now enjoy filtered coffee. Oh, and I also definitely LOVE your session with the Glucose Goddess! I have shared your episodes on my socials with family and friends. Many are still not willing to make the change even though they can see the changes I've achieved these past 9 months.
