I am a 49 year old premenopauseal woman. I have been lifting religiously since I was 20. I am a dental hygienist of 20 years working with my face in patient mouths all day everyday. Never been sick, not the flu, not Covid, not even a cold. Muscle NOT medicine keeps you healthy. You are a true Warrior for humanity and a bad ass Dr. Lyon. Keep rocking your voice for those of us who can't! 💥💪
Two things to consider 1 .. a supportive item is to look at ANATOLY.’s RUclips Videos which show him lifting weight better than bigger more muscular guys and 2. The SUMO WRESTLERS of Japan ….??? Check both out Cheers
Im a 60 year old "retired" Dental Hygienist. I had to retire due to back issues due to Dental Hygiene (spinal fusion with hardware. The whole 9 yards. ) That said,ive lifted weights since i was in my 20s, and continue to this day lifting heavy. The weight training definately helped me heel quickly.And at 60 years old,im extremely healthy. Rock on as an RDH.... watch your ergonomics😊
@@LJ-dv6mxit’s inspiring to hear that your lifting weights with previous back issues. I have a disc bulge in l4 l5 s1 area that causes me sharp pain affecting exercising how I used to. I’ve lost a lot of muscle 😢. I’m 48
Same. I had some years i took off due to non exercise related injuries/surgeries but I have been lifting since I was a teenager. I am glad that even before it was cool I never paid attention to weight loss, cardio, "getting bulky" fears, veganism, fat free crap, eating seeds oils instead of butter or any other stupid non science backed fads. I never get sick, at 46 look easily 35 without fillers, don't take prescriptions, use functional medicine (not western medicine) and am the same weight I was in high school without trying. I am sure genes are a huge part of it but lifting and staying active is where it is at. And I have PCOS. It makes life harder but it's not an excuse to be unhealthy.
I am a 65 year old women who has been working out since high school. I have ran the gamut of exercise fads but strength training has always been involved. I can honestly say I am the strongest now than I have ever been. I am in better shape than anyone I know, no matter their age. I have always maintained that I worked out for my mental health as well as physical health. There was a time when I thought that eventually I could stop working out all together! Now I know I can not stop unless injury prevents me to continue. I thank God after every workout I complete for by the grace of God go I.
Even injuries hasn’t stopped me from exercising! I was told in 2009 that I needed a knee replacement after tearing my meniscus! I still have all my bio body parts. lol. I ride a stationary bike everyday to keep my knees healthy! I too have exercised all my life and I’m 73 yo living alone in my 2 storey house! I want to stay strong to live an independent life. The body and mind will self heal given the right food and exercise IMO
if you don't mind my asking, have you noticed any difference in your libido after your work out or have you experienced increased sex drive because of your work out regimen?
Same here. I'm almost 65 and still love weight training. Former personal trainer and gym rat since the 80s. It's my passion. Fortunately my husband loves it too.
I have been working as a CNA for 12 years and one day I met a new male nurse who got hired in our skilled nursing/ geriatric facility. We got talking one day and he revealed to me that he was 73 years old. He was caring for people 20 YEARS younger than him in some cases. He had 3 degrees a 40 year old new beautiful wife had a 4 year old son, and had traveled the world. I asked him his advice and he said never stop moving. Your body starts to die the moment you stop striving for things. I have watched the slow decay of sedentary lifestyles remove people of their independence and dignity every day, and I can tell you right now it’s not a fate I would wish on ANYONE. I love the doctors and researchers like her that are showing people the real solutions and giving people a way to live their best lives. ❤
@@CraigJonesFluffer I feel bad for his son too-and most women, at least in the USA, according to statistics, prefer to marry a man within 2 years of her own age. Women who marry much older men often have deep abandonment insecurities, or, they’re gold diggers. Neither is good. :/
Yes, exactly. It’s much easier to dominate a society of sickly weaklings that don’t know what bathroom to use than a society of strong upright healthy individuals.
So true, being physically stronger makes people stronger in their mind, more confident to think for themselves and ready to question what are placed on them in the form of rules or social standards. The population of such strong people isn't just harder to control, but a real threat to the groups of people in power.
The part of the conversation around the 47 min mark where she speaks to the sudden, urgent necessity of educating the people about nutrition and fitness made me chuckle because my mother was raised in post war Amsterdam by parents and grandparents who had come out of TWO world wars and a depression and my father was a career soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces. Both of them would speak to the pamphlets that taught people how to do basic calisthenics. They did those calisthenics in school every day and the adults, by and large, were doing them at home every day. They were also slightly obsessed with good nutrient dense food and adequate calories (for obvious reasons). Nothing processed was allowed in our home except as a treat on Sundays or occasionally Friday evenings after dinner. My mother was HORRIFIED at wonder bread and processed cheeses and even processed deli meats. I was the kid who went to school in 1980’s Canada with dark, dense bread that had sliced cold homemade meatball with some Dijon style mustard (French’s mustard was anathema) usually also homemade, fruit, and a thermos of milk. Whole milk. And nothing else. There was no snacking between meals. And dessert was an occasional occurrence. Juice was watered down and limited. No pop. We were made to eat liver once a month. My mother had many an argument with the local butcher about the quality of the meat available, lecturing him about how vital it was much to my embarrassment. Both she and my sister dislike red meat, but that also was non negotiable at least once a week. I mean, eating well was a part of our civic duty, basically. And I was taught calisthenics and expected to do them. My father, once a year, would test our strength and if it didn’t pass muster, he would make us do workouts with him until it was acceptable. Plus, once a week at a bare minimum, the whole family went for a HIKE. Not a walk. A HIKE. I wasn’t driven anywhere. I could ride my bike or walk. It was drilled into us that we had to be, basically, ready for disaster to befall us at any moment and be sturdy enough to handle it lol ( also probably why we spent weeks at a time camping in tents, occasionally even in winter …. ). It seems absolutely NUTS in contrast to what society is like now. It was already kinda odd in comparison to the average Canadian kids lived experience when I was a kid, but not that far outside the norm. It seems like a totally different world now. But all of those things are so deeply imbedded in me that if I ever find myself slightly out of breath dragging a heavy load up a few flights of stairs, I internally scold myself and immediately up the intensity of my workouts. I still make most of our food from scratch. No wonder bread. No pop or juice except for special occasions. No low fat options. Limited sugar. Good quality proteins. And carbs are not the enemy because they are needed for the energy needed to be active. More and more am I grateful for the way I was raised. I had to have ACL reconstruction surgery last year. The nurse in the hospital was flabbergasted that I was not on any medications of any kind. I’m in my 40’s. I asked her why this was shocking. Apparently it’s the norm these days for a person in their 40’s to be on multiple medications. Wtf? My rehab therapist was surprised at how quickly I was recovering after surgery. Again, apparently most people are so out of shape before their surgeries, they never fully recover mobility and strength. We are f*ckd. A strong breeze will be able to conquer us.
Hubby n I relate to your comment. He is 74 n I am 64. No medications either. We've been called freaks of nature. No. Just lots of personal responsibility. Our bodies our choices. So simple. The masses are brainwashed and have relinquished their mind bodies and sometimes perhaps even their souls to other entities they believe are superior. Sad.
Thank you for spending the time writing about your way of living. The world is changed/ changing in front of our eyes, and the old simple common sense practices are being let go all in the name of convenience, such a pity. We mustn't forget basic life and survival and nutrition skills handed down to us from generations. Anyway I just wanted to thank you for showing us a slice of your life growing up! Like I say, they don't make them like that anymore, sad!
The woman is brilliant. I hate to criticize another podcast, but she was completely shut out in a different podcast. And it's great credit to Mindpump's intellectual humility who, despite being experts in this field themselves, gave the guest speaker the floor to actually speak! Great episode
Even now, in my 40’s, my own grown siblings make side jokes about me and my husband simply because we lift weights weekly. They joke that its mere vanity. Not so! We feel absolutely fantastic. Zero pain/aches. We keep up with our kids no problem! Nobody thinks we could be approaching 50! 😂
In my mid forties. I've been lifting since my 30th birthday. I don't know what age related pains and aches are. I move easier and smoother compared to my late 20s.
Yeah. I've noticed since I've focused primarily on weightlifting. As I get older, I feel younger. I feel the best I ever have now being in my 40s I " feel " lighter even though I am more muscular and weight above 250. I have tons of energy . No pains . No depression. . Weightlifting is beautiful. I used to do tons of cardio. About a decade of martial arts Now it's weightlifting. It's the best
I worked out off and on since I was a teenager. (Mostly off. 😏) It wasn’t until I was 58 (after a heart attack) that I started working out consistently. I’m 61 now but my scale says I’m metabolically 58. Never felt better (or stronger).
My husband has the same attitude about weight training. He still doesn’t understand why at 70 years old he now struggles to just stand from a sitting position.

when you look at large scale epidemiology (adventist health studies, the china study, the epic oxford study, etc. ) or the diet of the thinnest healthiest longest living population the Okinawans of Japan, healthy populations are not lifting weights (i am not saying dont do resistance training). they are not tracking or doing serious time restricted eating, or even doing much cardio. they are just eating a plant based low calorie density diet. the issue is this woman would rather comity suicide before eating a low calorie density diet and point to this as the number one factor in body composition. same goes for the bro science at mind pump. there is an ethical imperative to tell people the truth and let the chips fall where they may. sure i coach people on training 2-4 times per week. this woman reminds me of celebrity personal trainer bob harper touting themselves as a health and fitness coach and then have a massive heart attack at 50. so concerned with body composition and little concern with artery health.
Oh I wish we had some informed drs here in Townsville Australia 😢. Thank you for doing your best to not continue the BS, particularly as you have a position of authority as Drs that many won't question, it's good you are making a difference where you can.
@@AngCJ-18444 appeal to authority is known as a fallacy. "I have the university degree in X and therefore I am right" Ideas and positions should stand on there own based on logical reasoning, the strength and weakness of arguments, evaluating difereng sources of evidence, etc. Look at the diferent positions of suprene court judges. It would be stupid to say; "this judge has a degree from Harvard and therefore has authority" as evidence they are right.. The truth is that the longest living populations don't really do anaerobic or resistence training at all. This lady is a quack. Don't take my word for it. Diet is the main issue in body composition, living longer, etc.
@mysticjedi6730 I don't agree with everything you have said but thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. Re authority, my point, which was obviously lost in translation, is that many people DO just trust professionals in positions such as Drs, psychologists, lawyers.. I.e professionally accredited professions, and don't think for themselves at all, don't read any research and will just follow to the letter whatever advice they are given. I hope that makes sense now. For example, I know lots of people with PhDs who I consider to be idiots who can't write.
It's hard for me to put into words how grateful I am for the 4 of you. Short version, an unhealthy 53-year-old starts eating her ideal body weight in grams of protein every day, thanks to Dr. Lyon and weight training, thanks to you guys. As per the resources I have in place, my body age has gone from 54 to 42, as of this morning. I feel amazing and, as mentioned, feel so very grateful. 🙏🏼
People who weight train look more youthful because of posture. Men and women that have strong back, shoulder, chest etc of course they’re gonna stand out. No matter the age, posture it’s very important.
I’m female and 65 next month. Refused the osteoporosis meds and began personal strength training with a coach four months ago. She’s been pushing me to consume more protein and today listening to y’all I finally get the big picture. Thank you 🙏🏽
I'm 66 and eat carnivore, high animal protein, lots of eggs, some dairy. I'm at my ideal weight, lifting 3-4x a week for strength, and feel like I'm 30. You really don't need any carbs or fiber at all!
I'm about to turn 65. Went keto last year after following the typical guidelines for years never had such good results as when I increased my protein regardless of fat and cut the starchy carbs. Now those foods are like my treats or special occasion foods. I changed my cardio routine too.😊
I will turn 65 soon. Been a gym rat since the 80s. Best results since going keto and changing my cardio workouts. All the old information is bs😊 Lift weights enjoy protein it really works ❤
Just wanted to write - not all doctors are ignorant. I found an amazing endochrinologist in Zagreb, Croatia 4 years ago. He recognized my insulin resistence (after 2 other specialsts didn't). And he told me: 1. you MUST build muscle, 2. forget the old food pyramid, 3. here's a list of food with low GI
Perfect! I hope this knowledge spreds around the world, especially among the new generations. I am an educator and I am forced to teach youth about the importance of the old food pyramid! 😢
There was a recent study that showed that sedentary Japanese women who had 16 weeks of resistance training had skin with significantly improved skin elasticity, dermal structure, and dermal thickness!
This is super interesting and informative! As a 52 year old woman I have shifted my focus to building strength to help with the aging process. I am determined not to be a frail old woman! "Strength is a personal responsibility" may be my new mantra!
@Dyan, I feel exactly the same!! I’m mid 40s, and I’m determined to be strong and healthy as I age, especially so I can care for my parents if ever needed. Being strong as I age is my motivation!! And it’s _very_ motivating!! I just started eating 1g protein per ideal body weight and using Harambe System (high quality band system) for my strength training. We can do this!!! 💪
This is so true….I retired from the military a little over 4 yrs ago. Medical release….Rheumatoid Arthritis. Menopause was a big issue but I also have PTSD, and I was in a toxic relationship. So I changed up my lifestyle. As a former runner I got my Peloton and started spinning, kicked the toxic relationship out, moved across the country. I needed something to get rid of the depression and encourage endorphins so a 20 min spin worked. Eventually the spinning wasn’t enough. So I started strength training being very mindful of my RA which was out of control. That was 2 years ago. Today, not only have I surpassed any physicals I had wrt weight loss but my RA and PTSD are so under control and I have muscles! I am strong again! I am happy again! I sometimes think about all the kilometres I ran to lose weight when weights was the way to go. My diet has improved without any issues. I’m easily in the best shape of my life at 53! Great info! 💪🏽❤️🇨🇦
1:26:00 Down 110 pounds, eating 5-7 eggs every morning (cholesterol) and 1-1.25 ground beef (all amino acids). Already stronger than almost every guy in our boot camp from out of nowhere.
I'm a close to 40 year old guy with a nice high paying corporate job and have loved being fit and healthy since young. Because of listening to you guys for more than a year now, I just enrolled to become a NASM-CPT. Not because I want to shift careers (as you guys said being in PT doesn't make you rich :D) but rather, I want to get certification to give me knowledge and credibility to care for those around me, especially my ageing family. Just want to thank you guys for consistently giving out very helpful information that has inspired and motivated me not only to focus on myself, but to make sure I help out as many people as I can in the health and fitness space. Thank you!
I'm a registered nurse in the operating theatres and I can say first hand seeing people who are so overweight and unable to move properly, frail and can hardly move themselves in a bed, or lift their leg off the bed is really sad. It really highlights how important strength training is, even just for activities of daily living, standing from a chair, pushing yourself from sitting, so many things. This was a great episode guys, well done 👏 I sent it to all my friends and colleagues
Absolutely agree with what you are saying, Im a medical engineer in hospitals, and see the same things, I use it as my own personal motivation and to encourage others to get active and keep moving.
ONE way to get the word out that muscle building is good .. 1. stop all steroids and drug abuse in bodybuilding competition. The average lifespan of a professional bodybuilder is 47 years old ....So it's hard for the average person to think that bodybuilding or building muscle is good for you ..... NOT Complicated, It seems simple to me... Stop steroid use .. make it so they all have to be natural bodybuilders with full drug testing , like they should be in the first place. Instead of a drug abuse competition.... Make bodybuilding competition what it should be . A natural build no DRUGS..Phuck steroids they are for weak individuals who can't achieve anything else in life besides pump their body full of drugs and say look at me.. so if you want to change the message change the game and the rules . I wholeheartedly agree with everything that Dr Lyon and you guys are talking about.......
I’m 73 yo and have worked out all my life! I live alone and own a 2 story house. So I m stepping up my workouts now to include strength training and adding weights into my Pilates and yoga routines! I want to keep my body strong as I age so I can live independently for as long as I can. I’m not the type of woman who would do well in a nursing home! Oh and I’m also increasing my protein intake ! I got so much information from this video. Thank you.
In 10.5 years as a hospital nurse, I’ve only had a hand full of patients with muscle mass. I’ve talked about this observation with other medical professionals.
From walking and light weights, I took a fall today. I am 62 ! I was able to get up and keep going due to my new routine of exercise. I met a gal 11 years old that walks and does light weights she has changed my life. I so agree with what you’re talking on a small scale. You inspire me to do more work.
Such a great episode! Wish I had discovered you guys in my 30’s rather than my 50’s but regardless of the old saying…you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! 🤗💪🏼
If you're not strong you're weak! It's crazy to me that they flagged her when muscle does so much in the body. And the world wonders why everyone is so sick. This podcast changed my life 6 months ago. I've lost 70 pounds of fat and gained 22 pounds of muscle. I went to a dr to have my muscle and fat mass measured then and now. It's so exciting to me now to take care of myself. It was just all about restricting what I ate and now I'm building my body. It's awesome. That you Dr. LYON!
I am 51 yr old menopausal woman suffering from Parkinsons disease...I also had gastric bypass for 14 yrs. As I listened to this , and heard your research Dr. Lyons, I totally understand and th dots connected on why strength training is vital...THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU.
After going through chemotherapy last year and now in remission for 11 months now, I got back into the gym and I’m never going to stop lifting & doing cardio. That was the scariest time of my life. Thank you for this information. I’m a woman and will be 40 this month. I want to be strong and healthy. Be an example for my family. I really enjoy going to the gym, being apart of the fitness community.
On know the grammar police 🚔 chemo is big pharma poison. Only thing it does is buy you a. Couple extra months. If you knew anything about how the human body works ,you would never choose chemo
Dr. Lyon is exactly what we need. I am in my 50's. Sadly, my family goal is to live past age 68. I intend to change that mindset for my daughter and be around to play with my grandchildren. Thank you for all you do!
We are so lucky to have the ability to learn from y’all. In years past I served in the Marines , followed by. Competitive bodybuilding on a state scale so nutrition and weight lifting is of particular interest to me. But even now more than ever all the information I can absorb is vital. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I am now 63, and thru Nutrition and weightlifting I have been able to hold off the effects of Parkinson’s Thank You for sharing knowledge!
It's hard having this knowledge and trying to pass this along to the people in my life, especially the women, who are stuck on the idea that being healthy looks like eating less and doing a bunch of cardio. I'm genuinely concerned for the health of these people who end up either thin and frail or just "skinny-fat" and weak, and I will definitely be sharing this episode with everyone! Thank you guys!
MP changed my life. I listen to it daily. It helped me quit alcohol and smoking six months ago. Since then I started lifting 3 times a week and taking in all the health advices from you guys. Now I look and feel like Im back in my 20's. Im now 38, where my health journey begins. Thank you guys so much and keep up the good work.
Loved this episode. My Dad passed away earlier this month, largely due to having diabetes since he was 15. The subsequent plaque buildup in his arteries had catastrophic effects in his 70’s. Everything Dr Lyon said resonated with me so strongly & gave me confidence in the strength training path I’ve been on for the last 2 years. I just wish it hadn’t been too late for my Dad who was told to go on a high fibre diet & did loads of cardio on and off for decades. Our medical system has a lot of catching up to do but I am glad to see the steps that are being taken in the right direction & looking forward to the episode about the certification!
Thank you for this. I was 65 last August 23. I swim but not so regularly, perhaps an average of twice a week and only when it is sunny. I walk regularly. But then until I took up Kendo this November I didn't realize how much I need to move. I have never felt so much better in mind and body. With Kendo not only do I move my body but ai am also learning a new language which is Japanese. One is also learning a new culture and discipline. I am also now eating well and learning to mind my sleep, my pitfall.
The wake up call for me at 60 was seeing my MRI of my abdominal wall. I thought because I have been obese but also big and strong my whole life that I probably had good abdominal muscle. Seeing the actual amount of abdominal muscle was sobering to put it mildly. About this same time, I started to hear about how muscle is so important. Lots of work to do.
@James, Dr. Sean O’Mara would be interested in seeing your scan I’m sure and working with you! Getting rid of visceral fat is his specialty, and he encourages everyone to get an MRI.
I’ve been obese since I was 10, I’m 64 now I have done all the fad diets and lots of cardio over the years, I’ve lost and gain the weight back over the years, this year 06/23 @ 330 lbs I decided to go plant base, no alcohol and focus on strength training, today 11/23 I’m down to 292lbs. I was so surprised to have gone from a 28 in jeans to a 20 in such a short length of time and I feel amazing I have so much energy I’m never going to stop strength training , I wish I would have taking strength training more seriously when I was younger, I read as seniors this is the way to go to help us live longer
I am a life-long obese person, too. How much protein do you get daily from your plant-based diet? What are your primary sources? I am 247 now and top weight was 330+.
I have been building muscle, naturally, since I was 15 years old. I am now 52 years old and I still carry a lot of muscle. People are amazed when I tell them how much I weight because I look 15 pounds lighter. Even my doctor tells me he isn't concern about my weight because I carry a lot of muscle mass.
I am a 60 year old woman who has fought w my weight since childhood. 5’5 and 160 lbs currently. My Mom is 81 and skinny ( low carb “diet” for >10 years.) She can barely walk and has never lifted a weight. I absolutely will NOT be like her but with those genes I may live to 100. Since I’ve found you guys I have been in the gym 2-3 times a week strength training on the rack with all of the young buff guys. Plus walk my dog 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes. I’ve always been a walker but could never stay in the gym. It’s been about 4 months now and I look FORWARD to it! My goal is to not be skinny. It is to be strong and healthy and vibrant into my 90’s. This is what the world needs to strive for! Love you guys so much and heading over to watch Dr Lyon’s Ted Talk now! Keep spreading the good word!
I have found weightlifting at age 34 and I have never felt better! I have learned so much about protein, the importance of muscle, glucose metabolism over the last few months and I feel like everything is clicking for me. 💪🏼❤️
I am 72 and I am not getting any younger and I know it’s dangerous to fall. I want to keep strong in the muscle area. I have fallen several times but thankfully it has not been serious although I did have to have surgery on my wrist. This is really good information!
I’m 50 years old, female of Mediterranean background, weight 40kg, height 1,47m, visceral fat 2, metabolic age 35, slim muscular, no processed food, no refined carbs, no refined sugar, no fried food but steam or baked in foil or grilled (occasionally) only avocado oil when cooking is used, raw olive oil on veg or salads, 9 seeds in my food on a daily basis, pumpkins, sunflower, chia, flaxseeds golden & brown, poppy, hemp, white & black sesame, fruits raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranates, satsumas, kiwis but measured although I can go mad on them all occasionally. Nuts, Macademia, pecan, walnuts, pistachios, monkey nuts,Brazil nuts,hazelnuts, coconut flakes, pine, cashew, almonds only a small pinch or two of each but only one Brazil nut but I’ve gone mad on monkey nuts more than occasionally. Three spoonfuls of Greek yogurt and kefir, veg only above ground, fish only wild and only specific species such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, lots green leafy salads if I decide not to have vegetables, AVC, olive oil and lemon on a daily basis. I have started eating more protein as too low. I eat chicken breasts on a daily basis and fish. I also eat two whole eggs and two whites. I’m on 100% chocolate. Don’t drink fizzy or juices. Stopped couple of supplements 4 months ago as no point due to my eating. Never smoked or drank alcohol in my life I go to gym on a daily basis and spend 3-4 hrs. I do my own training and started PT 7 months ago once a week. The same with boxing. My stats are registered on a machine called Boditrax on a daily basis.. No breakfast, one meal a day and will eat after gym very late no earlier than 23:00. I hardly drink water, I only sleep max 5 hrs, I work more than 10hrs a day. I’ve been called machine, Duracell bunny, nuts, nutter and many others, I was asked to do a RUclips channel or write a book. I was told that my body hasn’t been seen for decades by men and women of different ages. No plastic surgeries. I used to eat a tab of ice cream for breakfast, crisps, biscuits, chocolates, pastries, desserts and many more. Having said all above my cholesterol is 10.4. Doctor refused to see me for a year. My triglycerides level is 0.3, HBA1C 27, blood pressure low, asked to be given a CT scan to look at my arteries but I’ve been refused, asked for a calcium score the same, ask for IDL test doctor never heard of it and isn’t the only one. Not even in the UK national blood test system. No history of high cholesterol in my family nor heart problems and after all above the doctor said ‘I need to put you on statins.’ I just gave a simple answer ‘ When you start doing your job properly and to prove to me that I’m about to have a heart attack and look at my lifestyle then I’ll take statins. I’m about to destroy a billion dollar investment and you don’t want to take part which I understand why’ only just agreed to to give me a liver scan and do a referral letter for calcium score which I’ll have to pay as privately. Still waiting. It’s been nearly 2 years. I wake up every morning and I’m on top form. I was told by many professionals that what I’ve done no one has ever done. Day in and out I eat the same foods. I feel great. Better than when I was 20,25,30,35. I control my brain. I tell it what to do. That’s powerful!
Totally agree with all of this! I am 66 years old and revised my life 5 years ago with strength training and a higher protein intake. Personally, I refused to take meds for bone strength due to my own research. 6 months later, my Dr. said I don't know what you are doing, but keep it up as all of your tests have come back improved including bone density!!! Keep spreading the truth. Mentally and physically, I feel wonderful and will continue on this path. Thank you for the great information!
This video just solved my life. I’ve been doing yoga consistently 6 days a week (20 minutes to 90 minutes) for over a year now and I’ve not gotten sick once. I’ve drank too much and the next day a bottle or two of water and it’s like nothing. Move to Live! 🎉
I’m not even 10 mins into this video and I know I HAVE to share this link to all my friends. What’s even more incredible is that you guys continue to put out better & better content even after all of these years. How is that even possible. Love MP
You bet who has the money is in charge which makes me sick! Even a just 4 years ago I didn’t realize the impact of what I ate had on my health until I went through menopause. All this fat came out of nowhere. Here it’s all the toxins being released and stored in other areas of my body that I had never had fat before:( I actually transformed my entire body and career after having an RTT session which changed the way I viewed my food at a subconscious level. I easily stopped eating sugar and junk, started eating healthy and working out properly for my age and had the easiest weight loss ever! I went and got trained for this and now I teach this training to other women struggling with menopause to give up sugar and junk. It’s truly life changing and I love this conversation! You 3 rock this and everyone needs to understand what’s happening! Since finding Dr. Lyon I have upped my protein intake and definitely feel fuller faster. Incredible work and thank you 3 for sharing your brilliance with us as we need honest people sharing the truth!
This episode sounds like a great addition to what you are already advocating. I've been overveight and started listening you guys 4 months ago. Lost weight, built muscle and changed body composition just by followimg your rule to focus on building mucle and speeding up metabolism.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 needed to hear this! Currently fighting the urge to be defined by a scale, focusing on building muscle, eating enough whole food & less processed. Almost 35 years old & feel more healthy than I ever have, even after 3 kids. Having a husband who hunts has helped, since we now have a whole freezer of deer meat. Making sure my boys understand the importance of self worth, self respect & understand how to do that through our daily habits.
I was really hungry after getting home from work. I cooked a slab of beef liver with onions and gravy for dinner as I watched this video discuss appetite satiation. It only took a few bites to satisfy my appetite, hence validating your arguments for protein consumption.
This episode is incredible this is why I am going to school in 4 months to become a trainer. I genuinely want to make it my mission to get this kind of information out to the layman. I'm currently a full time waitress and I'm always telling people who complain about wanting to lose weight things like this. This episode is giving me so many talking point for my "practice clients." The way I see it people start wasting away in their freaking 20's and it's not really their fault that we haven't been properly educated.
I am a pulmonologist , M.D. that talks to my elderly patients daily about resistance training with bands and walking. Bone density and increased muscle mass is the great protector against hospital admissions. It is true that people get admitted with falls due to frailty end up with fractures and YES succumb to pneumonia. Obesity with deconditioning is one of the best indicators of bad outcomes in the hospital. Unfortunately when I am assessing new patients I do a history, physical exam, pulse oximetry, pulmonary function testing, and imaging studies only. After watching this video I am adding grip strength with a hand dynamometer. Thank you.
I started watching this channel about a month ago (now watch daily) and it’s changed my entire mindset around strength training. Still struggling to stay in a good routine but so grateful for you guys and your guests! Thank you for all this amazing education and advice. 👏👏
I've recently started following this show and I have been so impressed with the amount of information I've learned! I'm a 49 female looking to build muscle for health. Thank you for another amazing episode! ❤
Same here I’m 49 and am focused on getting stronger and living well no more trying to be a certain size and weighing a certain weight it’s so much a good feeling
I've changed my training slightly and am taking your advice of whole body training 2-3 times a week (plus grappling). Using a heavy sandbag at home (155 and 180 pounds each), pull up bar, dip stand, kettlebells and a 25 pound sledge hammer. Doing compound lifts in the gym. Also changed my caloric restriction and focus more on quality foods and protein.
The Good Dr appears to have read or heard of the Earliest book on muscle strength as a factor in aging which is (as far as I know) "Strong women stay young." by Miriam Nelson Phd who did her study on older women undertaking resistance training after doing a large study with elderly male and female patients, (run by a male PhD forgot his name) that never had a book comeout as a result. Great to see this area of science, health and longevity being more openly promoted by Dr Gabriele and these guys. Great information. Dr Lyons shouldn't have been suprised that her ted talk was flagged on RUclips, as the Food industry is massive and unhealthy food and lifestyle also provides huge funds for the Big Pharma medical Industry, who have no interest in real health reducing their profits.
My first time tuning in and I could listen to you guys all day. Dr.Lyon is a gem. I love how you guys treat health and fitness as community aid instead of solely a profit grab.
I started seriously weight training and eating healthier at the age of 66. Last year at the age of 70 I started pole dancing for exercise. I surprised myself with the strength I had. Of course I do specific conditioning for pole, but it is my weight training that keeps me feeling good.
Two points that would help the more people to strength train, one access to trainers (affordability) and number two access to a gym where one feels comfortable and again access and affordability, so more options for more people. 💯🎯
You can order cheap weights to one’s house . There are stores that still discount equipment. There are so many online trainers and apps including millions of free RUclips tutorials to get started !
As far as the gym goes, you could make it your mission to ALWAYS walk to a grocery store at least 3km away and walk home with a backpack, and at least two bags that you farmers carry home. The more you can carry, the less times you have to go each week. Make that the ONLY way that food gets to your house.
My boyfriend had a traumatic brain injury 10 years ago..... and has had an incredible recovery. I wonder if a lot of it is how dedicated he is to excercise. He cycles and goes tot he gym daily.... and is in fantastic shape.
This is one of the best discussions and amount of usable information per minute, that I have found in a long time. So happy I found this channel. Thank you for what you do.
As someone who has to see traditional doctors regularly, thank you all for having this conversation. It’s great to finally see the GOOD doctors speaking up, it gives me hope not all are bad. I also now see why my doctors argued with me about a bone density test, it wasn’t because he didn’t believe my scripts could potentially cause bone loss it was because bone density is controversial now get it lol 😂😂😂
This was brilliant! I’m a huge fan of Dr. Lyon and I’ve been watching many of her book tour interviews recently. I have to say that this is by far the best! B/C you’re experts yourselves in this field you navigated the discussion and questions in ways no other podcasts have. This was a raw in-depth look at the true importance of healthy skeletal muscle for people of all ages. I can’t wait to read her book. You guys are awesome!
I am 24 and stumbled upon fitness and now I cannot get out of this rabbit hole because I LOVE IT!!! I hired me a fitness trainer because I been doing exercises all wrong. Used to go to the gym 4-5x a week heavy cycling classes and some hitts but I learned I am spiking up my cortisol crazy that I am stressing my muscles too much. I now train 3x a week only strength and I do 20 min walks, I upped my protein like crazy. I feel soo freakin amazing. We sure been told the opposite
I stumbled on this podcast and have to say how much I loved listening to Dr. Lyon. I’m getting her book for more information. I am one of those individuals in the middle that she was referring to in her conversation. I’m a plant based eater who’s trying to incorporate more protein in my diet. There’s so much information out there that it’s overwhelming. I’m 56 almost 57, and fighting my hardest not to slip into poor health and suffer heart disease and diabetes like a lot of my extended family members.
I just started listening to MP a week ago. This show is by far the most accurate and truthful amount of information that I have heard in 30 years. Can't wait to read her book, and I love my drives listening to you guys. So many of my friends and co-workers need to hear this, and i will pass it on for sure. Thank you all for helping to push a personal excellence mindset. 🙏
56 yrs old 230 lb been exercising over the years off on, hard at times. At 56 watching these videos helps keep me pushing. I am using nothing but bands to build muscle. I enjoy my drive home on an hr or more and listen pro health content. Thank you.. I see Arnie, sly, van dam, chuck N....as proving your points... Ronnie Coleman still pushing it, never stopping...thank you all Dr Lyon was strong pts..
I became and got almost all my friends addicted to Mind Pump. We love how you consistently provide valuable insights on fitness, health, and wellness. The content you create is not only informative but also incredibly motivating. I've been following your channel for a while now, and it has had a significant impact on my fitness journey and live overall. I appreciate the dedication and hard work you put into helping all of us lead healthier lives. Thank you, for everything you do. Keep up the great work, and I'll be eagerly awaiting your next video!"
Mark Rippetoe, a barbell lifting coach down in Texas, preaches the same broad message: being stronger has absolutely no downside, and is the foundation of everything else. Following a lifting discipline also builds mental strength too. Works for me.
I hadn't done any consistent resistence training for over 25 years and spent the last 15 years in a sedentary job, with high stress, poor sleep and unintentionally in a calorie deficit. Whilst slim and "healthy" according to the doctor, my bloods, etc etc I starting feeling like an 80 year old women, both physically and mentally - actually started suffering from memory loss which was the primary catalyst for change. I've taken a year off to rebuild healthy life habits and reset. I literally couldn't train at the gym without injuring myself so have gone easy with 3x weekly reformer pilates and doubling my protein intake.. I'm 8 months in and I'm feeling way better, so something must be working. But how do we measure success when it comes to skeletel muscle mass?? I do regular body comp tests and I've gained 5lbs SMM but it still says I'm below "normal"..
Just started today to watch MP utube broadcasts. I am 76 and have changed my reason for living..being able to walk, lift weights and be happy with my ability to feel intelligent. I agree with building my mind with growing muscles. ❤❤
Big thanks to MP for being so helpful as I continue to learn and challenge myself! I’ve been focusing on building muscle, rehabbing my body, and correcting strength deficiencies for years, and in the last few months, I’ve seen the largest gains in overall stability, vitality, and strength thanks to these conversations.
Love your channel. I am a 79 year old female. When I go to the doctors for a physical. They still consider me obese. I am building muscle so I can carry my grocery packages and reach on the shelves for a container. I am Suposed to be frail and not strong according to medicine. Love to listen to your pudcasts and learn from you and your guests. Would love to find a doctor that is up on these things.
I grew up in the east and kids would spend their days climbing trees. Pulling up their own body weight effortlessly to get fruits and berries, play hide & seek. Climbing up hill with their mum after collecting water from the river, they'd sit in a squat position when eating. The adults would cook outdoor for hours in a squatting position, Milk cows whilst squatting. All very healthy and aged so gracefully.
Hey guys, been listening to you all past few months, I quit smoking 8 months, been training since - 6 days a week, run three times a week and swim twice. Feel great :)
Topic of breaking down our dietary protein by specific amino acids (starts 1:09:00) deserves its own episode and deep dive when dr Lyon comes back! Please anyone respond with a food tracking app that breaks it down to the amino acids. Would love to start looking at them separately as she suggests!
I have listened to hundreds, possibly thousands of podcasts over the years and this is genuinely the best I have ever heard. This is world and life changing information.. Thanks guys and keep getting this message out there. It will save lives.
Been watching/listening to your podcasts religiously after re-starting my fitness journey after a 7-8 year hiatus. So motivational and informational. Thanks so much!
I have so much respect respect for Gabriel Lyons. Attending the bedside of aged and dying patience is no easy task. And so much can be gained both from learning about their lives and watching their physical health. So much respect for her.❤
Yay so excited for this one. Big thanks to you guys for truly changing the way I think and feel about health and wellness. I am one of four children and have three older brothers and each of you remind me of one of them. Adam is Tyler, my hard headed brother that is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Sal is Austin who is just a sweat heart and always very wise and kind hearted. Lastly, Casey is Justin, my conspiracy theory brother that also loves cheese (pizza) and has so many quirky comments. Thanks for all you do!!
Such a great episode! Three years ago at 65 my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer within 15 minutes he was told it has to come out now! I said hell to the no! I immersed myself in education and we got several options we chose radiation of course they wanted hormone blockers we said absolutely not! He's doing great now with very minimal side effects.
I love Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and the Mind Pump Crew! You have all impacted my practice as a Functional Nutrition Counselor, AND my journey as a woman in my late 40s going through the wonders of perimenopause. Thank you for being ahead of the game with your content and bringing relevant information forward, no matter how counter-culture.👊
Just discovered Mind Pump 3 weeks ago and Dr. Lyon two days ago! After losing 120lbs, 14 years ago, at 56 I am now starting a journey of strength training. I never knew how important it was. I was always about the cardio. Thank you all for making a difference in this world!
@@lifeofsheila4041 I have to make the effort every single day. It’s a series of things really. Cut out diet drinks killed my sugar cravings. I made a vision board of the clothes I wanted to wear and the things I wanted to do. I gave away clothes as I lost weight so they were never there for back up. I exercise 3-4 days a week to feel good. And I eat healthy 95% of the time. I don’t crave any of the processed stuff I used to. That makes it a lot easier!
I rarely watch a video that is this long, but this was one of the most beneficial videos I’ve ever watched in this exercise/nutrition space. Thank you so much!
Grateful for Dr. Lyon and the rest. Been following Gabriellle for a while and I think that her work, research, and findings very valuable. I believe it. I had been working out passively for ablution 25 years and was way too heavy. Finally, in 2020 I decided to wage a war against my fat and set incremental strength goals for myself. Now at age 67, I am constantly raising my lifts and reps. All of them. I am over 80 Lbs down with about 60 more to go. Which will put me at 240 Lbs. So, am targeting 240 G. Of protein a day, even protein snacks. I found Dr. Lyon over a year ago and really believe what she is discussing. I go to gym for strength training about 5 times a week, and other than my bad knees. I feel pretty good. Thank you Dr. Lyon for your work.
I am a 49 year old premenopauseal woman. I have been lifting religiously since I was 20. I am a dental hygienist of 20 years working with my face in patient mouths all day everyday. Never been sick, not the flu, not Covid, not even a cold. Muscle NOT medicine keeps you healthy. You are a true Warrior for humanity and a bad ass Dr. Lyon. Keep rocking your voice for those of us who can't! 💥💪
Wow you are an inspiration 🤩 thanks for sharing!
Two things to consider
1 .. a supportive item is to look at ANATOLY.’s RUclips Videos which show him lifting weight better than bigger more muscular guys and
2. The SUMO WRESTLERS of Japan ….???
Check both out
Cheers
Im a 60 year old "retired" Dental Hygienist. I had to retire due to back issues due to Dental Hygiene (spinal fusion with hardware. The whole 9 yards. ) That said,ive lifted weights since i was in my 20s, and continue to this day lifting heavy. The weight training definately helped me heel quickly.And at 60 years old,im extremely healthy.
Rock on as an RDH.... watch your ergonomics😊
@@LJ-dv6mxit’s inspiring to hear that your lifting weights with previous back issues. I have a disc bulge in l4 l5 s1 area that causes me sharp pain affecting exercising how I used to. I’ve lost a lot of muscle 😢. I’m 48
Same. I had some years i took off due to non exercise related injuries/surgeries but I have been lifting since I was a teenager. I am glad that even before it was cool I never paid attention to weight loss, cardio, "getting bulky" fears, veganism, fat free crap, eating seeds oils instead of butter or any other stupid non science backed fads. I never get sick, at 46 look easily 35 without fillers, don't take prescriptions, use functional medicine (not western medicine) and am the same weight I was in high school without trying. I am sure genes are a huge part of it but lifting and staying active is where it is at. And I have PCOS. It makes life harder but it's not an excuse to be unhealthy.
I am a 65 year old women who has been working out since high school. I have ran the gamut of exercise fads but strength training has always been involved. I can honestly say I am the strongest now than I have ever been. I am in better shape than anyone I know, no matter their age. I have always maintained that I worked out for my mental health as well as physical health. There was a time when I thought that eventually I could stop working out all together! Now I know I can not stop unless injury prevents me to continue. I thank God after every workout I complete for by the grace of God go I.
Even injuries hasn’t stopped me from exercising! I was told in 2009 that I needed a knee replacement after tearing my meniscus! I still have all my bio body parts. lol. I ride a stationary bike everyday to keep my knees healthy! I too have exercised all my life and I’m 73 yo living alone in my 2 storey house! I want to stay strong to live an independent life. The body and mind will self heal given the right food and exercise IMO
Thank yourself, some bearded invisible imaginary god had nothing to do with it.
if you don't mind my asking, have you noticed any difference in your libido after your work out or have you experienced increased sex drive because of your work out regimen?
That is amazing! I work for the same reasons! Also, by GOD’s grace there go I! 😊
Same here. I'm almost 65 and still love weight training. Former personal trainer and gym rat since the 80s. It's my passion. Fortunately my husband loves it too.
I have been working as a CNA for 12 years and one day I met a new male nurse who got hired in our skilled nursing/ geriatric facility.
We got talking one day and he revealed to me that he was 73 years old.
He was caring for people 20 YEARS younger than him in some cases.
He had 3 degrees a 40 year old new beautiful wife had a 4 year old son, and had traveled the world.
I asked him his advice and he said never stop moving. Your body starts to die the moment you stop striving for things.
I have watched the slow decay of sedentary lifestyles remove people of their independence and dignity every day, and I can tell you right now it’s not a fate I would wish on ANYONE. I love the doctors and researchers like her that are showing people the real solutions and giving people a way to live their best lives. ❤
4 year old son at 73 years old is wild lmao
Yes you’re correct about aging strong and with quality of life like this man in your workplace!
@@clairelegault7046 I feel so bad for his son, he’ll be blessed if he is able to have a living function dad in his early twenties
@@CraigJonesFluffer
I feel bad for his son too-and most women, at least in the USA, according to statistics, prefer to marry a man within 2 years of her own age. Women who marry much older men often have deep abandonment insecurities, or, they’re gold diggers. Neither is good. :/
So beautifully said ❤
You know it is a lot easier to control a society of sick people rather than strong and healthy ones. Thanks for a great interview
Sick stupid and lazy even easier
Yes, exactly. It’s much easier to dominate a society of sickly weaklings that don’t know what bathroom to use than a society of strong upright healthy individuals.
1 way to look at it, which probably is somewhat accurate.
So true, being physically stronger makes people stronger in their mind, more confident to think for themselves and ready to question what are placed on them in the form of rules or social standards. The population of such strong people isn't just harder to control, but a real threat to the groups of people in power.
❤❤❤❤
The part of the conversation around the 47 min mark where she speaks to the sudden, urgent necessity of educating the people about nutrition and fitness made me chuckle because my mother was raised in post war Amsterdam by parents and grandparents who had come out of TWO world wars and a depression and my father was a career soldier in the Canadian Armed Forces. Both of them would speak to the pamphlets that taught people how to do basic calisthenics. They did those calisthenics in school every day and the adults, by and large, were doing them at home every day. They were also slightly obsessed with good nutrient dense food and adequate calories (for obvious reasons). Nothing processed was allowed in our home except as a treat on Sundays or occasionally Friday evenings after dinner. My mother was HORRIFIED at wonder bread and processed cheeses and even processed deli meats. I was the kid who went to school in 1980’s Canada with dark, dense bread that had sliced cold homemade meatball with some Dijon style mustard (French’s mustard was anathema) usually also homemade, fruit, and a thermos of milk. Whole milk. And nothing else. There was no snacking between meals. And dessert was an occasional occurrence. Juice was watered down and limited. No pop. We were made to eat liver once a month. My mother had many an argument with the local butcher about the quality of the meat available, lecturing him about how vital it was much to my embarrassment. Both she and my sister dislike red meat, but that also was non negotiable at least once a week. I mean, eating well was a part of our civic duty, basically. And I was taught calisthenics and expected to do them. My father, once a year, would test our strength and if it didn’t pass muster, he would make us do workouts with him until it was acceptable. Plus, once a week at a bare minimum, the whole family went for a HIKE. Not a walk. A HIKE. I wasn’t driven anywhere. I could ride my bike or walk. It was drilled into us that we had to be, basically, ready for disaster to befall us at any moment and be sturdy enough to handle it lol ( also probably why we spent weeks at a time camping in tents, occasionally even in winter …. ). It seems absolutely NUTS in contrast to what society is like now. It was already kinda odd in comparison to the average Canadian kids lived experience when I was a kid, but not that far outside the norm. It seems like a totally different world now. But all of those things are so deeply imbedded in me that if I ever find myself slightly out of breath dragging a heavy load up a few flights of stairs, I internally scold myself and immediately up the intensity of my workouts. I still make most of our food from scratch. No wonder bread. No pop or juice except for special occasions. No low fat options. Limited sugar. Good quality proteins. And carbs are not the enemy because they are needed for the energy needed to be active. More and more am I grateful for the way I was raised. I had to have ACL reconstruction surgery last year. The nurse in the hospital was flabbergasted that I was not on any medications of any kind. I’m in my 40’s. I asked her why this was shocking. Apparently it’s the norm these days for a person in their 40’s to be on multiple medications. Wtf? My rehab therapist was surprised at how quickly I was recovering after surgery. Again, apparently most people are so out of shape before their surgeries, they never fully recover mobility and strength. We are f*ckd. A strong breeze will be able to conquer us.
LOVE this comment!!!!! 🎉
Hubby n I relate to your comment. He is 74 n I am 64. No medications either. We've been called freaks of nature. No. Just lots of personal responsibility. Our bodies our choices. So simple. The masses are brainwashed and have relinquished their mind bodies and sometimes perhaps even their souls to other entities they believe are superior. Sad.
Thank you for spending the time writing about your way of living. The world is changed/ changing in front of our eyes, and the old simple common sense practices are being let go all in the name of convenience, such a pity. We mustn't forget basic life and survival and nutrition skills handed down to us from generations.
Anyway I just wanted to thank you for showing us a slice of your life growing up! Like I say, they don't make them like that anymore, sad!
Thank you for sharing🙏

“If you’re sick and unhealthy you’re a better consumer,” is a powerful statement. ❤
The woman is brilliant. I hate to criticize another podcast, but she was completely shut out in a different podcast. And it's great credit to Mindpump's intellectual humility who, despite being experts in this field themselves, gave the guest speaker the floor to actually speak! Great episode
I think I saw the same podcast. No longer giving that channel any of my time.
I knew this one would be great!

Even now, in my 40’s, my own grown siblings make side jokes about me and my husband simply because we lift weights weekly. They joke that its mere vanity. Not so! We feel absolutely fantastic. Zero pain/aches. We keep up with our kids no problem! Nobody thinks we could be approaching 50! 😂
In my mid forties. I've been lifting since my 30th birthday. I don't know what age related pains and aches are. I move easier and smoother compared to my late 20s.
vanity has an evolutionary advantage:
thats why it exists
Yeah. I've noticed since I've focused primarily on weightlifting. As I get older, I feel younger.
I feel the best I ever have now being in my 40s
I " feel " lighter even though I am more muscular and weight above 250.
I have tons of energy . No pains .
No depression. .
Weightlifting is beautiful.
I used to do tons of cardio.
About a decade of martial arts
Now it's weightlifting.
It's the best
I worked out off and on since I was a teenager. (Mostly off. 😏) It wasn’t until I was 58 (after a heart attack) that I started working out consistently. I’m 61 now but my scale says I’m metabolically 58. Never felt better (or stronger).
My husband has the same attitude about weight training. He still doesn’t understand why at 70 years old he now struggles to just stand from a sitting position.
My wife and I (both doctors) are spreading this wisdom here in Australia. Modern medicine needs to catch up! Thanks so much for the great content!
@flashsquire Winner Winner! Please email Ann ann@mindpumpmedia.com with a screenshot of your youtube username, winning episode number, and the email address you would like the program under and we will get you hooked up!
when you look at large scale epidemiology (adventist health studies, the china study, the epic oxford study, etc. ) or the diet of the thinnest healthiest longest living population the Okinawans of Japan, healthy populations are not lifting weights (i am not saying dont do resistance training). they are not tracking or doing serious time restricted eating, or even doing much cardio.
they are just eating a plant based low calorie density diet.
the issue is this woman would rather comity suicide before eating a low calorie density diet and point to this as the number one factor in body composition. same goes for the bro science at mind pump.
there is an ethical imperative to tell people the truth and let the chips fall where they may.
sure i coach people on training 2-4 times per week.
this woman reminds me of celebrity personal trainer bob harper touting themselves as a health and fitness coach and then have a massive heart attack at 50. so concerned with body composition and little concern with artery health.
Oh I wish we had some informed drs here in Townsville Australia 😢. Thank you for doing your best to not continue the BS, particularly as you have a position of authority as Drs that many won't question, it's good you are making a difference where you can.
@@AngCJ-18444 appeal to authority is known as a fallacy. "I have the university degree in X and therefore I am right"
Ideas and positions should stand on there own based on logical reasoning, the strength and weakness of arguments, evaluating difereng sources of evidence, etc.
Look at the diferent positions of suprene court judges. It would be stupid to say; "this judge has a degree from Harvard and therefore has authority" as evidence they are right..
The truth is that the longest living populations don't really do anaerobic or resistence training at all. This lady is a quack. Don't take my word for it.
Diet is the main issue in body composition, living longer, etc.
@mysticjedi6730 I don't agree with everything you have said but thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. Re authority, my point, which was obviously lost in translation, is that many people DO just trust professionals in positions such as Drs, psychologists, lawyers.. I.e professionally accredited professions, and don't think for themselves at all, don't read any research and will just follow to the letter whatever advice they are given. I hope that makes sense now. For example, I know lots of people with PhDs who I consider to be idiots who can't write.
It's hard for me to put into words how grateful I am for the 4 of you. Short version, an unhealthy 53-year-old starts eating her ideal body weight in grams of protein every day, thanks to Dr. Lyon and weight training, thanks to you guys. As per the resources I have in place, my body age has gone from 54 to 42, as of this morning. I feel amazing and, as mentioned, feel so very grateful. 🙏🏼
Love this, amazing work
That’s awesome! I just started. How long did it take?
@@grandmaridesagain4560a year. She started at 53 and now 54
@@grandmaridesagain4560 it’s a lifelong journey
@@cam129she said “body” age. Not “biological “ age.
People who weight train look more youthful because of posture. Men and women that have strong back, shoulder, chest etc of course they’re gonna stand out. No matter the age, posture it’s very important.
And to much weight training can ruin your joints for the rest of your life, ever seen a 60 yr old builder? :-)
@@Redhanded26 Then do calesthenics
It also makes your skin look better, prevents wrinkles, keeps your hair healthy, keeps joints pain free and much more.
I’m sure
I’m female and 65 next month. Refused the osteoporosis meds and began personal strength training with a coach four months ago. She’s been pushing me to consume more protein and today listening to y’all I finally get the big picture. Thank you 🙏🏽
Eat lot of milk also egg
I'm 66 and eat carnivore, high animal protein, lots of eggs, some dairy. I'm at my ideal weight, lifting 3-4x a week for strength, and feel like I'm 30. You really don't need any carbs or fiber at all!
I'm about to turn 65. Went keto last year after following the typical guidelines for years never had such good results as when I increased my protein regardless of fat and cut the starchy carbs. Now those foods are like my treats or special occasion foods. I changed my cardio routine too.😊
I will turn 65 soon. Been a gym rat since the 80s. Best results since going keto and changing my cardio workouts. All the old information is bs😊
Lift weights enjoy protein it really works ❤
Just wanted to write - not all doctors are ignorant. I found an amazing endochrinologist in Zagreb, Croatia 4 years ago. He recognized my insulin resistence (after 2 other specialsts didn't).
And he told me: 1. you MUST build muscle, 2. forget the old food pyramid, 3. here's a list of food with low GI
You should share the contact of that doctor 🙏
Perfect! I hope this knowledge spreds around the world, especially among the new generations. I am an educator and I am forced to teach youth about the importance of the old food pyramid! 😢
I started weightlifting 6 months ago consistently and all of my peri menopause symptoms are gone
As someone in their mid 40s, hoping to breeze through menopause when it comes, this is so encouraging to hear!! Thank you!! ❤🎉
There was a recent study that showed that sedentary Japanese women who had 16 weeks of resistance training had skin with significantly improved skin elasticity, dermal structure, and dermal thickness!
That is amazing!!! 🙌🏻
This is super interesting and informative! As a 52 year old woman I have shifted my focus to building strength to help with the aging process. I am determined not to be a frail old woman! "Strength is a personal responsibility" may be my new mantra!
@Dyan, I feel exactly the same!! I’m mid 40s, and I’m determined to be strong and healthy as I age, especially so I can care for my parents if ever needed.
Being strong as I age is my motivation!! And it’s _very_ motivating!!
I just started eating 1g protein per ideal body weight and using Harambe System (high quality band system) for my strength training.
We can do this!!! 💪
This is so true….I retired from the military a little over 4 yrs ago. Medical release….Rheumatoid Arthritis. Menopause was a big issue but I also have PTSD, and I was in a toxic relationship. So I changed up my lifestyle. As a former runner I got my Peloton and started spinning, kicked the toxic relationship out, moved across the country. I needed something to get rid of the depression and encourage endorphins so a 20 min spin worked. Eventually the spinning wasn’t enough. So I started strength training being very mindful of my RA which was out of control. That was 2 years ago. Today, not only have I surpassed any physicals I had wrt weight loss but my RA and PTSD are so under control and I have muscles! I am strong again! I am happy again! I sometimes think about all the kilometres I ran to lose weight when weights was the way to go. My diet has improved without any issues. I’m easily in the best shape of my life at 53! Great info! 💪🏽❤️🇨🇦
1:26:00 Down 110 pounds, eating 5-7 eggs every morning (cholesterol) and 1-1.25 ground beef (all amino acids). Already stronger than almost every guy in our boot camp from out of nowhere.
I'm a close to 40 year old guy with a nice high paying corporate job and have loved being fit and healthy since young. Because of listening to you guys for more than a year now, I just enrolled to become a NASM-CPT. Not because I want to shift careers (as you guys said being in PT doesn't make you rich :D) but rather, I want to get certification to give me knowledge and credibility to care for those around me, especially my ageing family. Just want to thank you guys for consistently giving out very helpful information that has inspired and motivated me not only to focus on myself, but to make sure I help out as many people as I can in the health and fitness space. Thank you!
Go for it!
I just got mine! For the same reasons. Not trying to leave my job but help those around me. You will love it.
All the best to you on this journey!! 🎉
what do those acronyms mean?
its just the abbreviations for the standard personal training certification credential @@jcadwell1172
I'm a registered nurse in the operating theatres and I can say first hand seeing people who are so overweight and unable to move properly, frail and can hardly move themselves in a bed, or lift their leg off the bed is really sad.
It really highlights how important strength training is, even just for activities of daily living, standing from a chair, pushing yourself from sitting, so many things.
This was a great episode guys, well done 👏 I sent it to all my friends and colleagues
Absolutely agree with what you are saying, Im a medical engineer in hospitals, and see the same things, I use it as my own personal motivation and to encourage others to get active and keep moving.
ONE way to get the word out that muscle building is good ..
1. stop all steroids and drug abuse in bodybuilding competition. The average lifespan of a professional bodybuilder is 47 years old ....So it's hard for the average person to think that bodybuilding or building muscle is good for you ..... NOT Complicated, It seems simple to me... Stop steroid use .. make it so they all have to be natural bodybuilders with full drug testing , like they should be in the first place. Instead of a drug abuse competition.... Make bodybuilding competition what it should be . A natural build no DRUGS..Phuck steroids they are for weak individuals who can't achieve anything else in life besides pump their body full of drugs and say look at me.. so if you want to change the message change the game and the rules . I wholeheartedly agree with everything that Dr Lyon and you guys are talking about.......
Agree I was so turned off as soon as I learned how much roids they were all using.
I am 62 males in my family have not lived past 64 i am determined to live long past that and not be a crippled old person great advice here
I’m 73 yo and have worked out all my life! I live alone and own a 2 story house. So I m stepping up my workouts now to include strength training and adding weights into my Pilates and yoga routines! I want to keep my body strong as I age so I can live independently for as long as I can. I’m not the type of woman who would do well in a nursing home! Oh and I’m also increasing my protein intake ! I got so much information from this video. Thank you.
In 10.5 years as a hospital nurse, I’ve only had a hand full of patients with muscle mass. I’ve talked about this observation with other medical professionals.
From walking and light weights, I took a fall today. I am 62 ! I was able to get up and keep going due to my new routine of exercise. I met a gal 11 years old that walks and does light weights she has changed my life. I so agree with what you’re talking on a small scale. You inspire me to do more work.
Such a great episode! Wish I had discovered you guys in my 30’s rather than my 50’s but regardless of the old saying…you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! 🤗💪🏼
I’m in my 70’s and would be so happy if I had started doing this in MY 50’. My motto: It’s never too late!
Muscle knows no age.
If you're not strong you're weak! It's crazy to me that they flagged her when muscle does so much in the body. And the world wonders why everyone is so sick. This podcast changed my life 6 months ago. I've lost 70 pounds of fat and gained 22 pounds of muscle. I went to a dr to have my muscle and fat mass measured then and now. It's so exciting to me now to take care of myself. It was just all about restricting what I ate and now I'm building my body. It's awesome. That you Dr. LYON!
I am 51 yr old menopausal woman suffering from Parkinsons disease...I also had gastric bypass for 14 yrs. As I listened to this , and heard your research Dr. Lyons, I totally understand and th dots connected on why strength training is vital...THANK YOU SO MUCH GOD BLESS YOU.
After going through chemotherapy last year and now in remission for 11 months now, I got back into the gym and I’m never going to stop lifting & doing cardio. That was the scariest time of my life. Thank you for this information. I’m a woman and will be 40 this month. I want to be strong and healthy. Be an example for my family. I really enjoy going to the gym, being apart of the fitness community.
Chemo should be illegal. Sorry you went through that an glad your ok. Fasting an right diet can work miracles
Be well. Prioritize your sleep too. Give quality to sleep.
writing “your” instead of “you are” should be illegal. Chemo saves lives. Please go back to school.
On know the grammar police 🚔 chemo is big pharma poison. Only thing it does is buy you a. Couple extra months. If you knew anything about how the human body works ,you would never choose chemo
Dr. Lyon is exactly what we need. I am in my 50's. Sadly, my family goal is to live past age 68. I intend to change that mindset for my daughter and be around to play with my grandchildren. Thank you for all you do!
Pppp
We are so lucky to have the ability to learn from y’all.
In years past I served in the Marines , followed by. Competitive bodybuilding on a state scale so nutrition and weight lifting is of particular interest to me. But even now more than ever all the information I can absorb is vital. A few years ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I am now 63, and thru Nutrition and weightlifting I have
been able to hold off the effects of Parkinson’s
Thank You for sharing knowledge!
I’m only 8 minutes through the episode, but i think this is going to be one of my all time favorites 🤲🏻
It's hard having this knowledge and trying to pass this along to the people in my life, especially the women, who are stuck on the idea that being healthy looks like eating less and doing a bunch of cardio. I'm genuinely concerned for the health of these people who end up either thin and frail or just "skinny-fat" and weak, and I will definitely be sharing this episode with everyone! Thank you guys!
Personal trainer here. I feel the same way. It's l8ke being the voice of one crying in the wilderness, and no one is listening.
She's got me back in the gym lifting weights. Thank you!
MP changed my life. I listen to it daily. It helped me quit alcohol and smoking six months ago. Since then I started lifting 3 times a week and taking in all the health advices from you guys. Now I look and feel like Im back in my 20's. Im now 38, where my health journey begins. Thank you guys so much and keep up the good work.
How did you quit smoking?
@@andrewmoceri5160 zyns
What is Mp?
@@janetderouin9533 the channel this comment is written on
I quit smoking cold turkey. From somke 1 pack of cigarettes at day to 0 cigarettes. Nobody can’t believe it when I quit. You can do it
Loved this episode. My Dad passed away earlier this month, largely due to having diabetes since he was 15. The subsequent plaque buildup in his arteries had catastrophic effects in his 70’s. Everything Dr Lyon said resonated with me so strongly & gave me confidence in the strength training path I’ve been on for the last 2 years. I just wish it hadn’t been too late for my Dad who was told to go on a high fibre diet & did loads of cardio on and off for decades. Our medical system has a lot of catching up to do but I am glad to see the steps that are being taken in the right direction & looking forward to the episode about the certification!
That's great that he lived into his 70s.
@Robert-ep2lv sorry to hear that. It would be frustrating to witness someone give up on themselves like that.
He is saying he is lazy to stop you pushing him. He is lying. Don't push him.
Thank you for this. I was 65 last August 23. I swim but not so regularly, perhaps an average of twice a week and only when it is sunny. I walk regularly. But then until I took up Kendo this November I didn't realize how much I need to move. I have never felt so much better in mind and body. With Kendo not only do I move my body but ai am also learning a new language which is Japanese. One is also learning a new culture and discipline. I am also now eating well and learning to mind my sleep, my pitfall.
The wake up call for me at 60 was seeing my MRI of my abdominal wall. I thought because I have been obese but also big and strong my whole life that I probably had good abdominal muscle. Seeing the actual amount of abdominal muscle was sobering to put it mildly. About this same time, I started to hear about how muscle is so important. Lots of work to do.
@James, Dr. Sean O’Mara would be interested in seeing your scan I’m sure and working with you! Getting rid of visceral fat is his specialty, and he encourages everyone to get an MRI.
I’ve been obese since I was 10, I’m 64 now I have done all the fad diets and lots of cardio over the years, I’ve lost and gain the weight back over the years, this year 06/23 @ 330 lbs I decided to go plant base, no alcohol and focus on strength training, today 11/23 I’m down to 292lbs. I was so surprised to have gone from a 28 in jeans to a 20 in such a short length of time and I feel amazing I have so much energy I’m never going to stop strength training , I wish I would have taking strength training more seriously when I was younger, I read as seniors this is the way to go to help us live longer
I am a life-long obese person, too. How much protein do you get daily from your plant-based diet? What are your primary sources? I am 247 now and top weight was 330+.
That's awesome! Congratulations!
When you get to your desired weight, please go carnivore.
I have been building muscle, naturally, since I was 15 years old. I am now 52 years old and I still carry a lot of muscle. People are amazed when I tell them how much I weight because I look 15 pounds lighter. Even my doctor tells me he isn't concern about my weight because I carry a lot of muscle mass.
Your doctor needs to educate the ignorant ones in my city.
I am a 60 year old woman who has fought w my weight since childhood. 5’5 and 160 lbs currently. My Mom is 81 and skinny ( low carb “diet” for >10 years.) She can barely walk and has never lifted a weight. I absolutely will NOT be like her but with those genes I may live to 100. Since I’ve found you guys I have been in the gym 2-3 times a week strength training on the rack with all of the young buff guys. Plus walk my dog 4-5 times a week for 45 minutes. I’ve always been a walker but could never stay in the gym. It’s been about 4 months now and I look FORWARD to it! My goal is to not be skinny. It is to be strong and healthy and vibrant into my 90’s. This is what the world needs to strive for! Love you guys so much and heading over to watch Dr Lyon’s Ted Talk now! Keep spreading the good word!
I have found weightlifting at age 34 and I have never felt better! I have learned so much about protein, the importance of muscle, glucose metabolism over the last few months and I feel like everything is clicking for me. 💪🏼❤️
I am 72 and I am not getting any younger and I know it’s dangerous to fall. I want to keep strong in the muscle area. I have fallen several times but thankfully it has not been serious although I did have to have surgery on my wrist. This is really good information!
My mind was PUMPED! I love Dr. Lyon and glad her message is finally reaching a large audience!
Great content. I'm a 59 year old woman and I e been lifting since I was 13....just so I could spend time with my brother. Get the message out!
I’m 50 years old, female of Mediterranean background, weight 40kg, height 1,47m, visceral fat 2, metabolic age 35, slim muscular, no processed food, no refined carbs, no refined sugar, no fried food but steam or baked in foil or grilled (occasionally) only avocado oil when cooking is used, raw olive oil on veg or salads, 9 seeds in my food on a daily basis, pumpkins, sunflower, chia, flaxseeds golden & brown, poppy, hemp, white & black sesame, fruits raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, pomegranates, satsumas, kiwis but measured although I can go mad on them all occasionally. Nuts, Macademia, pecan, walnuts, pistachios, monkey nuts,Brazil nuts,hazelnuts, coconut flakes, pine, cashew, almonds only a small pinch or two of each but only one Brazil nut but I’ve gone mad on monkey nuts more than occasionally. Three spoonfuls of Greek yogurt and kefir, veg only above ground, fish only wild and only specific species such as salmon, mackerel, tuna, lots green leafy salads if I decide not to have vegetables, AVC, olive oil and lemon on a daily basis. I have started eating more protein as too low. I eat chicken breasts on a daily basis and fish. I also eat two whole eggs and two whites. I’m on 100% chocolate. Don’t drink fizzy or juices. Stopped couple of supplements 4 months ago as no point due to my eating. Never smoked or drank alcohol in my life I go to gym on a daily basis and spend 3-4 hrs. I do my own training and started PT 7 months ago once a week. The same with boxing. My stats are registered on a machine called Boditrax on a daily basis.. No breakfast, one meal a day and will eat after gym very late no earlier than 23:00. I hardly drink water, I only sleep max 5 hrs, I work more than 10hrs a day. I’ve been called machine, Duracell bunny, nuts, nutter and many others, I was asked to do a RUclips channel or write a book. I was told that my body hasn’t been seen for decades by men and women of different ages. No plastic surgeries. I used to eat a tab of ice cream for breakfast, crisps, biscuits, chocolates, pastries, desserts and many more. Having said all above my cholesterol is 10.4. Doctor refused to see me for a year. My triglycerides level is 0.3, HBA1C 27, blood pressure low, asked to be given a CT scan to look at my arteries but I’ve been refused, asked for a calcium score the same, ask for IDL test doctor never heard of it and isn’t the only one. Not even in the UK national blood test system. No history of high cholesterol in my family nor heart problems and after all above the doctor said ‘I need to put you on statins.’ I just gave a simple answer ‘ When you start doing your job properly and to prove to me that I’m about to have a heart attack and look at my lifestyle then I’ll take statins. I’m about to destroy a billion dollar investment and you don’t want to take part which I understand why’ only just agreed to to give me a liver scan and do a referral letter for calcium score which I’ll have to pay as privately. Still waiting. It’s been nearly 2 years. I wake up every morning and I’m on top form. I was told by many professionals that what I’ve done no one has ever done. Day in and out I eat the same foods. I feel great. Better than when I was 20,25,30,35. I control my brain. I tell it what to do. That’s powerful!
Amazing.could I pls have your guidelines or even your exact meals, I would really appreciate. Thank you so much.
Totally agree with all of this! I am 66 years old and revised my life 5 years ago with strength training and a higher protein intake. Personally, I refused to take meds for bone strength due to my own research. 6 months later, my Dr. said I don't know what you are doing, but keep it up as all of your tests have come back improved including bone density!!! Keep spreading the truth. Mentally and physically, I feel wonderful and will continue on this path. Thank you for the great information!
Yes! Im excited for this one. She has been on several podcasts recently communicating this valuable data for improving quality of life for all.

😢😮😅
This video just solved my life.
I’ve been doing yoga consistently 6 days a week (20 minutes to 90 minutes) for over a year now and I’ve not gotten sick once.
I’ve drank too much and the next day a bottle or two of water and it’s like nothing.
Move to Live! 🎉
I’m not even 10 mins into this video and I know I HAVE to share this link to all my friends. What’s even more incredible is that you guys continue to put out better & better content even after all of these years. How is that even possible. Love MP
Vegan builders?
@elainebr what, are you saying? Please clarify. I do not understand. aindrain3174
You bet who has the money is in charge which makes me sick! Even a just 4 years ago I didn’t realize the impact of what I ate had on my health until I went through menopause. All this fat came out of nowhere. Here it’s all the toxins being released and stored in other areas of my body that I had never had fat before:( I actually transformed my entire body and career after having an RTT session which changed the way I viewed my food at a subconscious level. I easily stopped eating sugar and junk, started eating healthy and working out properly for my age and had the easiest weight loss ever! I went and got trained for this and now I teach this training to other women struggling with menopause to give up sugar and junk. It’s truly life changing and I love this conversation! You 3 rock this and everyone needs to understand what’s happening! Since finding Dr. Lyon I have upped my protein intake and definitely feel fuller faster. Incredible work and thank you 3 for sharing your brilliance with us as we need honest people sharing the truth!
This episode sounds like a great addition to what you are already advocating. I've been overveight and started listening you guys 4 months ago. Lost weight, built muscle and changed body composition just by followimg your rule to focus on building mucle and speeding up metabolism.
Great work; keep it up!
Suggestion, not rule.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 needed to hear this! Currently fighting the urge to be defined by a scale, focusing on building muscle, eating enough whole food & less processed. Almost 35 years old & feel more healthy than I ever have, even after 3 kids. Having a husband who hunts has helped, since we now have a whole freezer of deer meat. Making sure my boys understand the importance of self worth, self respect & understand how to do that through our daily habits.
I always feel like I can think better after a workout 😊
🤯
Besides being healthy..we need to stay strong..especially as we age ❤
I was really hungry after getting home from work. I cooked a slab of beef liver with onions and gravy for dinner as I watched this video discuss appetite satiation. It only took a few bites to satisfy my appetite, hence validating your arguments for protein consumption.
Maybe it was the taste
This episode is incredible this is why I am going to school in 4 months to become a trainer. I genuinely want to make it my mission to get this kind of information out to the layman. I'm currently a full time waitress and I'm always telling people who complain about wanting to lose weight things like this. This episode is giving me so many talking point for my "practice clients." The way I see it people start wasting away in their freaking 20's and it's not really their fault that we haven't been properly educated.
You got this
Are you going to a personal training school or are you getting getting a kinesiology degree??
You’ll love it!!!
I am a pulmonologist , M.D. that talks to my elderly patients daily about resistance training with bands and walking. Bone density and increased muscle mass is the great protector against hospital admissions. It is true that people get admitted with falls due to frailty end up with fractures and YES succumb to pneumonia. Obesity with deconditioning is one of the best indicators of bad outcomes in the hospital. Unfortunately when I am assessing new patients I do a history, physical exam, pulse oximetry, pulmonary function testing, and imaging studies only. After watching this video I am adding grip strength with a hand dynamometer. Thank you.
Mad respect to the fellas just sitting back and letting the Dr speak
I started watching this channel about a month ago (now watch daily) and it’s changed my entire mindset around strength training. Still struggling to stay in a good routine but so grateful for you guys and your guests! Thank you for all this amazing education and advice. 👏👏
Great to hear!
I've recently started following this show and I have been so impressed with the amount of information I've learned! I'm a 49 female looking to build muscle for health. Thank you for another amazing episode! ❤
Same here I’m 49 and am focused on getting stronger and living well no more trying to be a certain size and weighing a certain weight it’s so much a good feeling
Love her. She needs to be heard by everyone and I’m glad you guys had her on
Longevity and quality of life for everyone. Amen 🙏
I've changed my training slightly and am taking your advice of whole body training 2-3 times a week (plus grappling). Using a heavy sandbag at home (155 and 180 pounds each), pull up bar, dip stand, kettlebells and a 25 pound sledge hammer. Doing compound lifts in the gym. Also changed my caloric restriction and focus more on quality foods and protein.
The Good Dr appears to have read or heard of the Earliest book on muscle strength as a factor in aging which is (as far as I know) "Strong women stay young." by Miriam Nelson Phd who did her study on older women undertaking resistance training after doing a large study with elderly male and female patients, (run by a male PhD forgot his name) that never had a book comeout as a result. Great to see this area of science, health and longevity being more openly promoted by Dr Gabriele and these guys. Great information. Dr Lyons shouldn't have been suprised that her ted talk was flagged on RUclips, as the Food industry is massive and unhealthy food and lifestyle also provides huge funds for the Big Pharma medical Industry, who have no interest in real health reducing their profits.
My first time tuning in and I could listen to you guys all day. Dr.Lyon is a gem. I love how you guys treat health and fitness as community aid instead of solely a profit grab.
I started seriously weight training and eating healthier at the age of 66. Last year at the age of 70 I started pole dancing for exercise. I surprised myself with the strength I had. Of course I do specific conditioning for pole, but it is my weight training that keeps me feeling good.
Two points that would help the more people to strength train, one access to trainers (affordability) and number two access to a gym where one feels comfortable and again access and affordability, so more options for more people. 💯🎯
You can order cheap weights to one’s house . There are stores that still discount equipment. There are so many online trainers and apps including millions of free RUclips tutorials to get started !
As far as the gym goes, you could make it your mission to ALWAYS walk to a grocery store at least 3km away and walk home with a backpack, and at least two bags that you farmers carry home. The more you can carry, the less times you have to go each week. Make that the ONLY way that food gets to your house.
My boyfriend had a traumatic brain injury 10 years ago..... and has had an incredible recovery. I wonder if a lot of it is how dedicated he is to excercise. He cycles and goes tot he gym daily.... and is in fantastic shape.
Outstanding conversation, don’t stop the talk, we are listening.
This is one of the best discussions and amount of usable information per minute, that I have found in a long time. So happy I found this channel. Thank you for what you do.
As someone who has to see traditional doctors regularly, thank you all for having this conversation. It’s great to finally see the GOOD doctors speaking up, it gives me hope not all are bad. I also now see why my doctors argued with me about a bone density test, it wasn’t because he didn’t believe my scripts could potentially cause bone loss it was because bone density is controversial now get it lol 😂😂😂
Love the nutrition part about the War Subject
This was brilliant! I’m a huge fan of Dr. Lyon and I’ve been watching many of her book tour interviews recently. I have to say that this is by far the best! B/C you’re experts yourselves in this field you navigated the discussion and questions in ways no other podcasts have. This was a raw in-depth look at the true importance of healthy skeletal muscle for people of all ages. I can’t wait to read her book. You guys are awesome!
I am 24 and stumbled upon fitness and now I cannot get out of this rabbit hole because I LOVE IT!!! I hired me a fitness trainer because I been doing exercises all wrong. Used to go to the gym 4-5x a week heavy cycling classes and some hitts but I learned I am spiking up my cortisol crazy that I am stressing my muscles too much. I now train 3x a week only strength and I do 20 min walks, I upped my protein like crazy. I feel soo freakin amazing. We sure been told the opposite
Strength is more important than mass 💥🎯
I stumbled on this podcast and have to say how much I loved listening to Dr. Lyon. I’m getting her book for more information. I am one of those individuals in the middle that she was referring to in her conversation. I’m a plant based eater who’s trying to incorporate more protein in my diet. There’s so much information out there that it’s overwhelming. I’m 56 almost 57, and fighting my hardest not to slip into poor health and suffer heart disease and diabetes like a lot of my extended family members.
I just started listening to MP a week ago. This show is by far the most accurate and truthful amount of information that I have heard in 30 years. Can't wait to read her book, and I love my drives listening to you guys. So many of my friends and co-workers need to hear this, and i will pass it on for sure. Thank you all for helping to push a personal excellence mindset. 🙏
56 yrs old 230 lb been exercising over the years off on, hard at times. At 56 watching these videos helps keep me pushing. I am using nothing but bands to build muscle. I enjoy my drive home on an hr or more and listen pro health content. Thank you..
I see Arnie, sly, van dam, chuck N....as proving your points... Ronnie Coleman still pushing it, never stopping...thank you all
Dr Lyon was strong pts..
I became and got almost all my friends addicted to Mind Pump. We love how you consistently provide valuable insights on fitness, health, and wellness. The content you create is not only informative but also incredibly motivating. I've been following your channel for a while now, and it has had a significant impact on my fitness journey and live overall.
I appreciate the dedication and hard work you put into helping all of us lead healthier lives.
Thank you, for everything you do. Keep up the great work, and I'll be eagerly awaiting your next video!"
Mark Rippetoe, a barbell lifting coach down in Texas, preaches the same broad message: being stronger has absolutely no downside, and is the foundation of everything else. Following a lifting discipline also builds mental strength too. Works for me.
I hadn't done any consistent resistence training for over 25 years and spent the last 15 years in a sedentary job, with high stress, poor sleep and unintentionally in a calorie deficit. Whilst slim and "healthy" according to the doctor, my bloods, etc etc I starting feeling like an 80 year old women, both physically and mentally - actually started suffering from memory loss which was the primary catalyst for change. I've taken a year off to rebuild healthy life habits and reset. I literally couldn't train at the gym without injuring myself so have gone easy with 3x weekly reformer pilates and doubling my protein intake.. I'm 8 months in and I'm feeling way better, so something must be working. But how do we measure success when it comes to skeletel muscle mass?? I do regular body comp tests and I've gained 5lbs SMM but it still says I'm below "normal"..
Just started today to watch MP utube broadcasts. I am 76 and have changed my reason for living..being able to walk, lift weights and be happy with my ability to feel intelligent. I agree with building my mind with growing muscles. ❤❤
Big thanks to MP for being so helpful as I continue to learn and challenge myself! I’ve been focusing on building muscle, rehabbing my body, and correcting strength deficiencies for years, and in the last few months, I’ve seen the largest gains in overall stability, vitality, and strength thanks to these conversations.
Love your channel. I am a 79 year old female. When I go to the doctors for a physical. They still consider me obese. I am building muscle so I can carry my grocery packages and reach on the shelves for a container. I am
Suposed to be frail and not strong according to medicine. Love to listen to your pudcasts and learn from you and your guests. Would love to find a doctor that is up on these things.
I grew up in the east and kids would spend their days climbing trees. Pulling up their own body weight effortlessly to get fruits and berries, play hide & seek. Climbing up hill with their mum after collecting water from the river, they'd sit in a squat position when eating. The adults would cook outdoor for hours in a squatting position, Milk cows whilst squatting. All very healthy and aged so gracefully.
Hey guys, been listening to you all past few months, I quit smoking 8 months, been training since - 6 days a week, run three times a week and swim twice. Feel great :)
Topic of breaking down our dietary protein by specific amino acids (starts 1:09:00) deserves its own episode and deep dive when dr Lyon comes back! Please anyone respond with a food tracking app that breaks it down to the amino acids. Would love to start looking at them separately as she suggests!
Yes!!!!
If people don't click with this episode... I don't know what will help them. Love Dr. Gabrielle.
You guys have been on 🔥🔥🔥. Shawn Stevenson and Dr. Lyon are 2 of my favorite people to listen to and you guys had them both on!
I have listened to hundreds, possibly thousands of podcasts over the years and this is genuinely the best I have ever heard.
This is world and life changing information..
Thanks guys and keep getting this message out there. It will save lives.
Been watching/listening to your podcasts religiously after re-starting my fitness journey after a 7-8 year hiatus. So motivational and informational. Thanks so much!
I have so much respect respect for Gabriel Lyons. Attending the bedside of aged and dying patience is no easy task. And so much can be gained both from learning about their lives and watching their physical health. So much respect for her.❤
Yay so excited for this one. Big thanks to you guys for truly changing the way I think and feel about health and wellness. I am one of four children and have three older brothers and each of you remind me of one of them. Adam is Tyler, my hard headed brother that is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in. Sal is Austin who is just a sweat heart and always very wise and kind hearted. Lastly, Casey is Justin, my conspiracy theory brother that also loves cheese (pizza) and has so many quirky comments. Thanks for all you do!!
Such a great episode! Three years ago at 65 my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer within 15 minutes he was told it has to come out now! I said hell to the no! I immersed myself in education and we got several options we chose radiation of course they wanted hormone blockers we said absolutely not! He's doing great now with very minimal side effects.
I love Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and the Mind Pump Crew! You have all impacted my practice as a Functional Nutrition Counselor, AND my journey as a woman in my late 40s going through the wonders of perimenopause. Thank you for being ahead of the game with your content and bringing relevant information forward, no matter how counter-culture.👊
Our pleasure!
Just discovered Mind Pump 3 weeks ago and Dr. Lyon two days ago! After losing 120lbs, 14 years ago, at 56 I am now starting a journey of strength training. I never knew how important it was. I was always about the cardio. Thank you all for making a difference in this world!
Hello
So you kept the 120lbs off for all those years. That's incredible. May I ask how you did that? I struggle with yoyo-ing back and forth
@@lifeofsheila4041 I have to make the effort every single day. It’s a series of things really. Cut out diet drinks killed my sugar cravings. I made a vision board of the clothes I wanted to wear and the things I wanted to do. I gave away clothes as I lost weight so they were never there for back up. I exercise 3-4 days a week to feel good. And I eat healthy 95% of the time. I don’t crave any of the processed stuff I used to. That makes it a lot easier!
I rarely watch a video that is this long, but this was one of the most beneficial videos I’ve ever watched in this exercise/nutrition space. Thank you so much!
Grateful for Dr. Lyon and the rest. Been following Gabriellle for a while and I think that her work, research, and findings very valuable. I believe it. I had been working out passively for ablution 25 years and was way too heavy. Finally, in 2020 I decided to wage a war against my fat and set incremental strength goals for myself. Now at age 67, I am constantly raising my lifts and reps. All of them. I am over 80 Lbs down with about 60 more to go. Which will put me at 240 Lbs. So, am targeting 240 G. Of protein a day, even protein snacks. I found Dr. Lyon over a year ago and really believe what she is discussing. I go to gym for strength training about 5 times a week, and other than my bad knees. I feel pretty good. Thank you Dr. Lyon for your work.
