You can help support my channel for free by using my affiliate code when purchasing a grounding mat or anything else with this link: bit.ly/3vHBCvM. You know I don't endorse things often (almost never), but this one has the potential to really help people. I bought the bed sheet, a yoga mat, the desk mat, and the feet wraps. (I know- kinda went all in!) I recently went on vacation in Florida and walked miles on the beach every day. I took my feet grounding wraps with me and slept with them on every night. (So small- great for travel in my opinion.) My order was sent with a free book too! Thanks in advance for your support to my channel and happy grounding!
Just a quick FYI on the grounding......I have a cousin who does the grounding and has found out that plugging into an outlet is not good because it is what they call "dirty electricity." Instead, he puts it out a window to a grounding rod directly into the ground. I have also just started my journey back to health. Thank you for the uplifting and encouraging thoughts. Hearing you have back issues also and see what all you do is encouraging to me, that I can be healthy and active again after two back surgeries. Muscle building, that is what I need. Thanks Brooke, and Be Blessed!
As I recall the Amish and my time last century building timber frame homes, we do it best as a tribe. Do it with friends and neighbors mostly if possible. I groups some see issues and can attend to any injuries on the job. Be careful.
Thanks for this video. I am 53, in poor physical condition, and recovering from a broken leg. I have been thinking seriously about pulling myself together now that I am better able to walk. This affirmation came at the perfect time.
She's right you can do it. I have Thryroid and adrenal problems, so the cold is brutal on me. I wish I could do the cold showers. I used to build things (decks, drywall ect) I danced all my life since a child, I could do everything as a single Mom, myself. You wouldn't know it looking at me that I could do all that. I'm very petite and not muscular. I now have a brain tumor and feel like I'm defeated. Fatigued all the time and can't accomplish things like before. It's not too late for YOU though. Start NOW not tomorrow, while you still can because YOU CAN do this! ❤
When I was 51, I started digging a koi pond with a shovel. It was 2,000 gallons with a brick waterfall. I had zero experience. I wanted the pond. It took me about 8 months because I broke my arm and had to wait 8 weeks to resume. It was totally mind over matter. I had to figure out how to move huge boulders. My husband helped me using pulleys and wood. It almost didn’t happen. I had a few more injuries but, I finished and the pond was beautiful! Brooke, you are the best inspiration on RUclips. Thank you for helping propel and give purpose to women over 50. I’m 70 now and I do what I want!
So I’m a 76 year old guy who used to lift weights in a gym and would bicycle about 1,100 miles a year. My wife died 5 years ago and much of that exercising slowly became almost nonexistent. I’ve been resurrecting biking again and using a Bowflex at home along with some free weights. I’ve watched you off and on with admiration I must say. Rediscovered you after being away for a while. I’ve already signed up with my email on the Whipple newsletter. I’ll conclude by saying I think this video is the most important one you’ve ever done. I thank you Dear Lady!!😘
@@annday3784 I wish us both good luck!🤞🏻🙏🏻 I go up and down on my exercise routines but never give up! I don’t eat badly but there’s room, as always, for improvement! Your response was rather timely as it became a bit of a spark and motivation to fully get back on track especially considering there were a few more aches on a morning where I should/could have slept a couple of hours longer. So I thank you and I’ll say again good luck to us both! Never give up!👍
These comments are so inspiring!! I had to jump on here! I appreciate the sharing of vulnerable times in everyone's life. I have been on a healing journey for the past 15 years for PTSD. I'm a childhood abuse Survivor and later a Survivor of domestic violence these had their own set of challenges for healing and then Lyme entered my life. I've been learning all I can about various healing modalities and grounding is one of them! I hope to get in the swing of exercising soon. I'm healing from a Hysterectomy and have about 4 more weeks until I can really start moving and grooving. Thank you for the inspiration!
Yes!!! Yes!! Yes!!! On all of it!! I'm 56 and experienced all you have. I do yoga, lift weights and ground my body. I do get lazy and get a lot of brain fog but getting outside helps. Keep up the wonderful inspiratin.
Brooke, I really needed this today. I lost my son about a year and a half ago and since then I've felt like 'what's the use?'. I've given up on my health almost completely. I know I need to take charge again, but it seems like it's hopeless. You've given me a "glint" that all is not lost. Now, if I could just MAKE myself do something about it. Thank you for this video. Blessings to you.
I'm 68 and weight train 6 days a week. I started back at 66! I have gained muscle! I like being STRONG if you do one the other will happen. I have been known to do leg workouts where ever I may be hiking where there are big rocks I can pick up. I was raised on a farm and everything is a workout. I admire your dedication to adventure.
I started watching you and your husband when you were on ALONE. I have always been impressed with what you two do and enjoy your videos. This video is very inspiring, and I already have a grounding mat that a friend bought for me, and I do watch what I eat but apparently not enough protein. I have gotten bored with my life. I have lived a very good outdoor life and also worked for 45 years as a Paramedic and during that time I also worked off and on full time and part time for 35 years as a whitewater raft guide. I was overweight but I have lost 75 pounds since June 1, 2023, and continue to lose. I have over 27,000 miles of canoeing under my belt and this year I will get back into a canoe. I haven't been in one for almost 6 years. I have decided to get back into sports this coming summer and your video has just boosted my want to do so. Thank you so much! It is what this 71-year-old needed to jumpstart his summer.
Ok Miss Brooke! I am 73… you are still a youngster to me… YOU CAN DO THIS! When I was 52 I was young and strong, just like you!You go girl… I enjoy your strength. Thank you for being strong . Love your programs … Suzanne
Hey Brooke, turning 60 on a few weeks, decided some months ago to reclaim my health this year. Have lost 50 lbs, have about 50 to go. Started hiking again and just got a rebounder. Love what you said about stretching and breathing. It has helped in the past, I need to get back to those exercises again. God's blessings on all your endeavors and thanks for your encouragement and inspiration.
When I come in from the cold and my hands are very cold, I run my hands under cool water and it is not painful at all. I don’t have the painful prickles!
Oh my goodness I’m so glad I found you! I live in Alaska too and I am 55 and I cleared our land manually last summer. My goal is to just build a little fire pit gazebo in the next summer or two. But at least the property is a little bit usable now and we can even camp there. Thank you for the inspiration, I’m gonna keep going!!!!
@@therealgirlinthewoods Brooke I would love to know your favorite book of the Bible and why ❤ also you remind me a lot of my aunt Joyce not personality wise but more so just look like her..God bless
Thanks Brooke. You made me realize at 65 I can start a new chapter in my health and activity. My mom is 89 and has been lifting weights for 5 years. We are about the same size and weight but she is in better health than I. I'm really motivated now to start getting more physical and have been eating much better in the last 3 months.
I'm 69 and starting to train for my 3rd attempt at the Appalachian Trail. Injuries have taken me out twice before. I figured out I didn't do enough strength training and stretching. Adding that in this year. Watched you for many years now, Brooke. You and Dave never cease to inspire me.
I needed this! Since I lost my husband 7 years ago I have stop exercising and girl do I feel it!! I'll be 52 in less than a month and I really want to start exercising again and feel better so thank you for this inspiration!
Brooke you are my biggest inspiration. I had my first and only child at 40, and i knew that would put my cabin building dreams on hold. I got FOMO and quite upset, because I didn’t want to be in my 50’s starting my dream. And then while I was pregnant, i found your channel and it blew my mind. I’m so in awe of your capabilities and it gave me so much *knowing* that I can do it too. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and being that inspiration that i, and probably many other women NEED. I’ll be 44 this summer, but because of you, my age no longer bothers me. You go girl! So happy for you! 😎🥳💕
Don't worry about going out into the woods and building something with your blessed child! My parents took the plunge when I was 10, and I was the eldest of the lot... It did us kids nothing but good! And thanks to that lifestyle, I was fully prepared to dive into the off-grid life in the woods that I am now living, in my mid-forties and a grandmother :)
Just try to pace yourself.. I’m 69 now and have used my body my whole life.. it catches up with you.. Joints wear down.. etc.. like I said pace yourself.. lots of water and good tools🙏💙🙏good luck!
@@wendyallen5105 Yes! You can say that again! I am 70 and totally agree with you! I exercise every day using my ChairGym. It has resistant bands....I get a good gentle workout for 30 minutes. I drink a "ton" of water everyday. We all need to keep moving! ❤ 💃
Thank you Brooke for the inspiration. I’m 75. It’s taken 3 months post the new variant of Covid to start feeling better. It had zapped me of all my energy. I’m not looking for a miracle but have been inspired by this video to make my physical being feel and work better. Again, thank you. 🌻❤️👍🏻
Thank you for all the wonderful advise. I’m 78 and getting ready for my second lumbar fusion. I’m still as active as I can be, but haven’t done weights in awhile so will begin back to strengthening my upper body. After surgery I’ll begin the lower with the upper. My mind is still in its 30s, and I don’t slow down, except chronic severe pain is a challenge. Again, you always inspire me to higher heights! Thank you so much!
Brooke, you're such an inspiration and have definitely motivated me, for sure. I'm also 52. I had Covid really really bad in April 2020, followed by a pretty bad case of long haul Covid. Watching your videos inspired me to go outside and do just a little more every day. I am now back to being a ski instructor, and am in PT for hyper mobile connective tissue disorder. So with this diagnosis, I can't follow your program exactly, but I do cold showers, got into gardening and fixing up my property, and made it up to AK in August, finally. Thank you, Brooke!
I really enjoyed this informative video! I am 55 (56 in July) this time last year I was prediabetic. Since then I cut out most carbs and sugar and have lost 33 lbs since last February. I am not where I want to be as far as working out. We put in a home gym with free weights, stationary bike and a treadmill but I have yet to use it. You have inspired me to get on it and do something!!! I have always been athletic and spent many hrs at our local gym until menopause set in. I hope this is a new beginning! Thanks for what you do!
I just discovered your channel about an hour ago, and have been watching bit after bit. You seem so wholesome, strong, focused, and genuinely joyful about living. And somehow you manage to convey this in the most unaffected and appealing way. It's such a cliche to say this, but I will because it's true: you're genuinely inspirational. Your vitality, devotion, voluntary simplicity are making me rethink my life in a positive and wonderful way. An important reminder to make the most of what matters and to remember that we're always right in the middle of it. Thank you, and many blessings.
Brooke you've got this! Speaking as a woman who is about to turn 61, I'm still able to hard graft. I still have good muscle tone and I'm still extremely strong just through doing my everyday manual work. You are such an inspiration to so many people.
I’m 64 and have a couple of issues (bone spurs in my spine & osteoarthritis in my 1 knee) that will make things tough for me, but I’m going for it. I am walking and working on physical therapy workouts that I can do with my physical issues. You have been inspirational for me Brooke, God has called you to inspire ladies like myself….I’m so grateful that you’re doing these videos and pushing back on age!
You are such a hard driven person Brooke. Thank you for sharing all your thoughts and ideas . Always look forward to seeing your videos. Love from Ohio
Hey Brooke perfect timing for me to come start a new journey to better health! I am turning 65 this year and have definitely noticed that my range of motion is getting worse! Looking forward to hearing more from you on this journey and checking out these resources! Blessings 💖
It ain't over til it's over and most importantly.. it's never too late. We are incredible - our bodies are incredible and strong, resilient. The transformation comes from within first, in our heart and minds, then the rest follows. I can't wait to see you build your cabin. If anyone can do it, it's you!
Hi Brooke! Love your videos and your quite the inspiration. I’m a 63 year male and not as healthy or active as I should be so your video gave me pause. I downloaded both audio books and have decided to get back to lifting weights. Can’t wait to see your cabin build and thank you again for the mental kick in the butt.
I'm 61, hubby 69. Neither of us in shape but we are going to build a single story 1200 sq ft home. Some stuff will be contracted out but lots of heavy work we will be doing on our own. Thanks to your husband for the safety tips on chainsaw use. We have been clearing, cutting down trees.....always safety first:) Love the content! Thanks PS. I have two new knees...almost a year out..but getting stronger everyday
Dang, you surpassed my age. I'm 51, but I don't feel like my age. I admit that I tend to make an "old man nap" more regularly. But, I'm still middle aged.
I have always been in really good shape (I'm 54) and a few years ago my back just started aching whenever I bent to work or lifted anything heavy. That's super upsetting to deal with, arthritis. Super happy to watch your work here, thanks for sharing your stories.
Yup...I am 70......I have arthritis in my lower back....X-rays show it and I feel it! I use my ChairGym everyday for 30 minutes. That's made a big difference along with water! Hydration is essential! Keep moving! ❤💃
Thank you for an informative and healing video. I’m a big advocate for stretching exercises, They make all the difference and can get you started on your exercise routine. They make you want to do more.😊
In listening, you mentioned joint pain. About ten years ago, I did a Food Sensitivity test through a LEAP Program. My joint pain which was extreme was due to excessive eating of tomatoes in my daily diet. They come from the nightshade family which is high in alkaloids. These deposit in the joints causing inflammation like arthritis. I've since eliminated tomatoes from my diet and am joint pain free. I, too do some wood cutting.
62.5 and getting back to doing elementary level wim hof and exercising. So motivating to see that older lady with muscular arms without flabby skin. I'm pumped to getting into better shape mentally as well as physically. Thanks for the reminder and all the tips Brooke! ❤ ❤ ❤
Brooke, thank you so much for your wonderful share tonight. So much inspiring information and your own personal health journey. I didn’t know about Ms. McDonald , and at 72 I was really needing to hear her story. I had quit going to the gym and lost so much muscle mass. A few weeks ago I started a new healthy eating plan, and now I’m inspired to take the next step. My husband and I are both hard workers, we just don’t have the energy we used to. We built our own log home ourselves back in 2005 using antique logs. We have always had these huge projects including finishing out our new home where we live now, which took us 6 months last winter and spring. I’m not ready to quit, I just needed so inspiration. Thank you and Dave for all you pass on to us!! God bless you and your family!!🙌🏻👏🏻❤️
I hear ya!! I sometimes feel like I’m losing a step here and there!! I try to stay strong and lifting and moving patients does help. I’m not a very big person…probably 5’5” or so and around 120 and will be 65 in April. My patients look at me like, yea right, you’re going to move me. But I truly feel like moving them helps me stay strong. The cold stuff, it’s a challenge for me, I don’t like being cold. I could try it and see. I need to work on my core. You’re an inspiration and I love your videos!! ❤from NC
You are such an aspirational woman. I am 37, breaking away from the normal way of life society has programmed me to believe in. Manifesting my own land to one day do the things you are doing. You are a phenomenal woman. Thank you for being you and for sharing your experiences. You bring so much hope and power to the community. ❤
Hi Brooke, as far as fruit goes they can vary hugely on the 'glycaemic load' index. Berries are 'low glycaemic load' but full of antioxidants and phytonutrients. I think it's safe to keep them in your diet. Best of luck with your projects. ❤
I'm 65 and work out 4-5 days a week with heavy weights. Get resistant bands. You can do as much with those at home as you can in the gym. Keep it up! You are never too old to lift weights.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Brooke! I went Carnivore almost a year ago. Now more Ketovore, but heavy on the meat. 63 years old and need to keep strong! Not on any meds, still to this day. So many seniors suffer from sarcopenia because since the 80's we have been told to eat low fat, no red meat and so on. People need to research how that all came about!!!! Love you and Bushradical and your son! Subbed all your channels ❤ P. S. Look into 50-100mg of B6 for a few months for your tennis elbow/carpal tunnel. Hello from Alberta, Canada 😊
I love the little cabin you are in now. It is good to see you there. I just turned77 this Christmas Eve. The 24th. I have you beat on age. Love seeing you and Dave's adventures spirt. Can't wait to see you building your cabin in Alaska. Suzzette Bridges!❤🎉😊
Girrrl, I appreciated your video so much. Same age as you. Recently shed 20 pounds in two months of improved diet and strength training. I appreciated your ideas. Now have my husband more interested as well.

@@wendyallen5105 Yes! You can say that again! I am 70 and totally agree with you! I exercise every day using my ChairGym. It has resistant bands....I get a good gentle workout for 30 minutes. I drink a "ton" of water everyday. We all need to keep moving! ❤ 💃
@@therealgirlinthewoods you need a man to help you and live with you in Alaska. He will also protect you from the Bear monsters 🐻
Thanks for this. I'm 54 and used to be very fit. I loved this inspiration to get outside. Time to feel happy again.
You are STRONG. 😂😅. YES, YOU ARE. ❤
Thank you Brooke for the inspiration.
I’m 75.
It’s taken 3 months post the new variant of Covid to start feeling better. It had zapped me of all my energy.
I’m not looking for a miracle but have been inspired by this video to make my physical being feel and work better.
Again, thank you. 🌻❤️👍🏻
Another cabin ? Geeze 🙂
Thank you for all the wonderful advise. I’m 78 and getting ready for my second lumbar fusion. I’m still as active as I can be, but haven’t done weights in awhile so will begin back to strengthening my upper body. After surgery I’ll begin the lower with the upper. My mind is still in its 30s, and I don’t slow down, except chronic severe pain is a challenge. Again, you always inspire me to higher heights! Thank you so much!

Brooke, you're such an inspiration and have definitely motivated me, for sure. I'm also 52. I had Covid really really bad in April 2020, followed by a pretty bad case of long haul Covid. Watching your videos inspired me to go outside and do just a little more every day. I am now back to being a ski instructor, and am in PT for hyper mobile connective tissue disorder. So with this diagnosis, I can't follow your program exactly, but I do cold showers, got into gardening and fixing up my property, and made it up to AK in August, finally.
Thank you, Brooke!
Great information!
I really enjoyed this informative video!
I am 55 (56 in July) this time last year I was prediabetic. Since then I cut out most carbs and sugar and have lost 33 lbs since last February. I am not where I want to be as far as working out. We put in a home gym with free weights, stationary bike and a treadmill but I have yet to use it. You have inspired me to get on it and do something!!!
I have always been athletic and spent many hrs at our local gym until menopause set in. I hope this is a new beginning!
Thanks for what you do!
You are doing well for your self 🕊️
I just discovered your channel about an hour ago, and have been watching bit after bit. You seem so wholesome, strong, focused, and genuinely joyful about living. And somehow you manage to convey this in the most unaffected and appealing way. It's such a cliche to say this, but I will because it's true: you're genuinely inspirational. Your vitality, devotion, voluntary simplicity are making me rethink my life in a positive and wonderful way. An important reminder to make the most of what matters and to remember that we're always right in the middle of it. Thank you, and many blessings.
Thank you so much!! What a wonderful comment.
Love this
Brooke you've got this! Speaking as a woman who is about to turn 61, I'm still able to hard graft. I still have good muscle tone and I'm still extremely strong just through doing my everyday manual work. You are such an inspiration to so many people.
Omg me too!!! But not in Alaska. You got this!
I’m 64 and have a couple of issues (bone spurs in my spine & osteoarthritis in my 1 knee) that will make things tough for me, but I’m going for it. I am walking and working on physical therapy workouts that I can do with my physical issues. You have been inspirational for me Brooke, God has called you to inspire ladies like myself….I’m so grateful that you’re doing these videos and pushing back on age!
I really needed to hear that! Thank you! ❤
You are such a hard driven person Brooke. Thank you for sharing all your thoughts and ideas . Always look forward to seeing your videos. Love from Ohio
❤Love you and your inspiration
as an avid outdoor athelete im not sure about this ..maybe a cold plunge but this looks sketchy or is it click bait??
Watching ALONE and GIRL IN THE WOODS!💯💯💯 You and Dave are awesome!!!!!
Hey Brooke perfect timing for me to come start a new journey to better health! I am turning 65 this year and have definitely noticed that my range of motion is getting worse! Looking forward to hearing more from you on this journey and checking out these resources! Blessings 💖
You nuts 😂 you gonna freeze your tushie off !!😅 love your down to earth attitude!!!😊
It ain't over til it's over and most importantly.. it's never too late. We are incredible - our bodies are incredible and strong, resilient. The transformation comes from within first, in our heart and minds, then the rest follows. I can't wait to see you build your cabin. If anyone can do it, it's you!
I'd sign up for weekend in the woods stretch and breath course. I even have my own camper van.
Hi Brooke! Love your videos and your quite the inspiration. I’m a 63 year male and not as healthy or active as I should be so your video gave me pause. I downloaded both audio books and have decided to get back to lifting weights. Can’t wait to see your cabin build and thank you again for the mental kick in the butt.
You inspire me so much.
You can do this!!! You’re awesome!!! ❤
I'm so impressed! I need to start lifting weights again. I'm 59.
You and Dave videos are by far my favorite. Thank you.😊
I believe you will accomplish your mission. God bless.
I'm 61, hubby 69. Neither of us in shape but we are going to build a single story 1200 sq ft home. Some stuff will be contracted out but lots of heavy work we will be doing on our own. Thanks to your husband for the safety tips on chainsaw use. We have been clearing, cutting down trees.....always safety first:) Love the content! Thanks
PS. I have two new knees...almost a year out..but getting stronger everyday
You are an awesome woman. Very inspirational for anyone.
Brooke you are one hell of a woman and such an inspiration . You have taught me so many life skills to survive.
Dang, you surpassed my age. I'm 51, but I don't feel like my age. I admit that I tend to make an "old man nap" more regularly. But, I'm still middle aged.
Thank you for talking about DP. He was the FIRST to vlog this Lifestyle... He will continue to inspire until the end of life.

@@therealgirlinthewoodsl❤❤❤
God bless you and hope you succeed in your build and stay safe There's very few strong women like you left.
I have always been in really good shape (I'm 54) and a few years ago my back just started aching whenever I bent to work or lifted anything heavy. That's super upsetting to deal with, arthritis. Super happy to watch your work here, thanks for sharing your stories.
Yup...I am 70......I have arthritis in my lower back....X-rays show it and I feel it! I use my ChairGym everyday for 30 minutes. That's made a big difference along with water! Hydration is essential! Keep moving! ❤💃
Amy, look into the carnivore way of eating
Holy cow woman! You’re strong! My hero. 😊
Thank you for an informative and healing video. I’m a big advocate for stretching exercises, They make all the difference and can get you started on your exercise routine. They make you want to do more.😊
In listening, you mentioned joint pain. About ten years ago, I did a Food Sensitivity test through a LEAP Program. My joint pain which was extreme was due to excessive eating of tomatoes in my daily diet. They come from the nightshade family which is high in alkaloids. These deposit in the joints causing inflammation like arthritis. I've since eliminated tomatoes from my diet and am joint pain free. I, too do some wood cutting.
62.5 and getting back to doing elementary level wim hof and exercising. So motivating to see that older lady with muscular arms without flabby skin. I'm pumped to getting into better shape mentally as well as physically. Thanks for the reminder and all the tips Brooke! ❤ ❤ ❤
awesome!
Thank you
Brooke, thank you so much for your wonderful share tonight. So much inspiring information and your own personal health journey. I didn’t know about Ms. McDonald , and at 72 I was really needing to hear her story. I had quit going to the gym and lost so much muscle mass. A few weeks ago I started a new healthy eating plan, and now I’m inspired to take the next step.
My husband and I are both hard workers, we just don’t have the energy we used to.
We built our own log home ourselves back in 2005 using antique logs. We have always had these huge projects including finishing out our new home where we live now, which took us 6 months last winter and spring. I’m not ready to quit, I just needed so inspiration. Thank you and Dave for all you pass on to us!! God bless you and your family!!🙌🏻👏🏻❤️
Good luck girl! I'm with you!
Seriously.
I agree that as you get older, working out becomes very important.
I hear ya!! I sometimes feel like I’m losing a step here and there!! I try to stay strong and lifting and moving patients does help. I’m not a very big person…probably 5’5” or so and around 120 and will be 65 in April. My patients look at me like, yea right, you’re going to move me. But I truly feel like moving them helps me stay strong. The cold stuff, it’s a challenge for me, I don’t like being cold. I could try it and see. I need to work on my core. You’re an inspiration and I love your videos!! ❤from NC
love it! I'm 5'3", 122 lbs
You are such an aspirational woman. I am 37, breaking away from the normal way of life society has programmed me to believe in. Manifesting my own land to one day do the things you are doing. You are a phenomenal woman. Thank you for being you and for sharing your experiences. You bring so much hope and power to the community. ❤
Hi Brooke, as far as fruit goes they can vary hugely on the 'glycaemic load' index. Berries are 'low glycaemic load' but full of antioxidants and phytonutrients. I think it's safe to keep them in your diet. Best of luck with your projects. ❤
Nothing wrong with fruit, it’s all about portion control. A serving of fruit is one cup, not a huge bowl full.
I'm 65 and work out 4-5 days a week with heavy weights. Get resistant bands. You can do as much with those at home as you can in the gym. Keep it up! You are never too old to lift weights.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Brooke!
I went Carnivore almost a year ago. Now more Ketovore, but heavy on the meat. 63 years old and need to keep strong!
Not on any meds, still to this day.
So many seniors suffer from sarcopenia because since the 80's we have been told to eat low fat, no red meat and so on.
People need to research how that all came about!!!!
Love you and Bushradical and your son! Subbed all your channels ❤
P. S. Look into 50-100mg of B6 for a few months for your tennis elbow/carpal tunnel.
Hello from Alberta, Canada 😊
Also been carnivore for nearly 5 years, 63yrs old, do some research and get back to optimal health!!
I need to learn about going carnivore. Any advice ?@@HeatherTudor1

I love the little cabin you are in now. It is good to see you there. I just turned77 this Christmas Eve. The 24th. I have you beat on age. Love seeing you and Dave's adventures spirt. Can't wait to see you building your cabin in Alaska. Suzzette Bridges!❤🎉😊
Girrrl, I appreciated your video so much. Same age as you. Recently shed 20 pounds in two months of improved diet and strength training. I appreciated your ideas. Now have my husband more interested as well.
