Hey Steven, what a really interesting talk to listen to! I would love a follow-up conversation with an urban planner enthusiast or expert focused on walk and bike mobility in urban and city areas. I'm from the Netherlands, where using a bike or walking to get around is advantageous and encouraged by the local government almost everywhere in towns and cities (via Urban planning). The subject of how to encourage people to use the stairs at work rather than the elevator/lift was already raised by Daniel, but the solution must be far more extensive. If I were to suggest someone, it would be Jason Slaughter from the NotJustBikes RUclips channel. I first learned about how dependent on cars many Americans (and Canadians) are, as well as how car-centric urban planning is, through his videos. There is a lot of unexplored potential there to get people moving or exercise.
My dad is 102. When he retired he took a music degree and joined an semi professional orchestra and played until he was 90. Then continued to practise every day until his eye sight declined. He also went to the gym three days a week until covid and then he declined. Lack of gym and social interaction did more to age him than anything else.
I'm 2 years off retiring. I'm pretty sure my physical activity will be improved by it. Long hours stuck on CAD workstation and being mentally too tired at end of day to do much exercise is what I need to end.
I love that he took a moment to mention that exercise is enjoyable once you are fit, and often not enjoyable until you are fit- and that we should have compassion upon those who are struggling in that process. What a great point and motivator, too.
That's pretty much right. If you go to the gym once it will be easier going there the second time but only if you don't wait too long until you go again. When the routine is back and the muscles stop hurting then it's actually pretty easy. The feeling of wellbeing from working out is addicting in itself
My stressful job just about killed me. Now that I quit, I’m poorer in money but richer in everything else. I have time to read, study, meditate, hang out, workout, be calm, go hiking, go camping, not give a crap, sleep well, enjoy life. Priceless
2 things that helped me and literally changed my life 1. I stopped watching porn 2. I read the psychology book called 'THe manipulation enigma' 3. Stop drinking
BS, do shit in moderation. Watch porn in moderation, drink (alcoholic beverages) in moderation, read whatever the f. you want, have friends, have romantic relationships, exercise in moderation. Too much exercise can also be bad for you.

My neighbor is almost 90 and lost her husband in December. She is outside everyday cleaning up after her horse and dog and keeping the yard up. She walks everyday. She's determined to not stop. We had another neighbor who lived to be 97 doing the same thing. I need to learn from them!
My mother in law is the same. Turns 90 on Thursday and does crosswords every day, plays Majong and bridge, keeping her mind sharp and does the garden to get her our of the house and active.
If you are working class, I encourage you to make time to read the book Exercised as I look forward to reading it, and never copy the worst lifestyle examples of the petty bourgeoisie. As with the fitness industry, it is suitable for the people who are in sedentary jobs. We have to self educate, we cannot imitate other people especially if we have incompatibilities.
My main takeaways: - 5:14, there’s no word for training in Tarahumara - 7:53, interrupted sitting is healthier than non-interrupted sitting; every 10-15 minutes - 8:43, the 8-hours of sleep idea has been around since the Industrial Revolution; 6-7 hours is fine - 10:24, the 10k steps-a-day idea originated before the Tokyo Olympics in the 60’s while picking a word for the pedometer which was just invented; it sounded about right although there was no science behind it - 11:03, Hunter gatherers walk between 10k~18k; gender based; studies show no evidence of advantage above 7-8k steps - 12:37, I’ve incorporated at least two strength workouts per week; weight training becomes more important as you age - 30:42, women who are physically active (150 minutes a WEEK or more) are 30%-50% less likely to develop breast cancer - 32:09, cut down foods that are high in sugar and low in fiber- those elevate your insulin levels - 32:22, insulin is an anabolic hormone- it triggers the process of taking energy into the cells for storage so it’s natural for insulin levels to rise when you eat and decrease when you exercise so that energy gets consumed; over-saturating a cell to the point they swell and rupture, they get damaged - 33:31, this causes the immune system to act and results in inflammation - 33:42, and systemic inflammation is like a slow burn - 34:09, so you also want to dial down your immune system - 34:22, when you are physically active your muscles produce interleukin-6 molecules which at high levels are anti-inflammatory - 35:10, we never evolved an alternate anti-inflammatory mechanism other than physical activity - 48:51, for Tarahumara people running is a form of prayer; many cultures used to have some spiritual connection with running and endurance - 52:51, the best way of preventing plantar fasciitis is by having strong feet; the problem with plantar fascia is that it has almost no vascularization so it’s hard to repair once it’s inflamed - 55:00, Vivo shoes are the kind that will help you strengthen your feet - 56:46, to much muscle isn’t good - 56:58, muscles are an expensive tissue; two thirds of our body is muscles and it spends about 20% off our energy when not using them - 57:26, the only thing natural selection cares about is how many offspring you have, survive and reproduce- it doesn’t care if you are strong or healthy or nice or loved - 1:01:50, running isn’t bad for your knees - 1:03:35, the correct way of running is with a forefront strike, i.e. landing with the front of the foot. Because shoes cushion the heels, they enable you to run the way you walk, which causes impact collisional forces that damage the knee. - 1:06:17, a good runner lands with their shank/tibia vertical so their ankle is below the knee - 1:13:54, diet is the bedrock of weight loss; exercise doesn’t contribute as much but it plays an important role in preventing weight gain - 1:19:20, being overweight causes you to be insensitive to insulin and dopamine
Thank you for the summary. however, many bullshits in this interview. For exemple, 10k steps and more has been proven recently and throughout meta analysis that is really beneficial to the health and the benefits continue after 10k … same for sleeping. Science rn says that it depends on people and some need more, some need less. So basically I would not trust that guy, to many errors.
My Mom is 87 years old and just fell in love this year with a 92 year old man. She is like a little girl again. She has a job working in the garden of the building she lives in and helps at lunch serving the meals and supervising. She now goes dancing once a week in a local bar… Been smoking all her life, but also exercising. she swims. Incredible attitude towards life, i hope i grow old like her.
This was a great interview, so inspiring! I’m 60 and I’m going to stop complaining about having to look after my large garden with fruit trees and vegetable gardens, and see it as a gift to help me stay physically active and healthy. So grateful for RUclips channels like this and researchers who share their valuable knowledge to help others.
You know gardening, if done quite vigourously provides a real all body workout, we just have to watch the back! I do loads of sports but often find I work up just as much of a sweat turning over the earth or weeding as I do playing football or cycling!!
I’m not sure how smart and absolutely insightful this podcaster is. It’s insane that you’re only in your 30s. You’re making a killing adding immense value to people. Well done brother!
My Aunt is almost 96. She walks a mile and plays golf every day. She also plays bridge and cares for her autistic 66 year old son. Her sister, my mother just turned 94. Mom retired and did not move much. She has dementia, doesn’t remember any of us. Aunt Minnie drives 120 miles to visit her every few weeks. Everything this brilliant man says is proven true- in my family.
@@sachinsmmy father retook and passed his driving test a couple of years ago---he was also 96 at that time I think. He is still driving now at almost 99. He also still even rode his motorcycle a few months ago with my brother riding along side on his
I have yet to meet anyone over 90 that can react in time to stop when a child runs into the street or a car veers into their lane. It is not responsible to drive over the age of 90 and most people should stop driving in their 80s.
Retirement from a job doesn't mean to rerire in house and wait to die. Some are just sitting, eating and watching tv after retirement. When you do some job , even taking care of grandchildren you are not retired . One should understand this word in a broad manner.
@@Lolipop59 maybe that is what some people want to do after they retire? In that case, it isn't "waiting to die," but rather getting some rest, especially if they had demanding jobs beforehand.
Thanks for this episode. How is nobody talking about how they are trying to censor books like "Health and Beauty Mastery" for exposing industry secrets.
When my mother died I understood how a person of fragile health can die soon after the passing of a deeply loved long-term partner. Grief is an extreme stress on the body, and it takes its toll, especially on the heart. I felt my body had aged a few years within the first year of mum's passing.
Ms. Leslie, I no longer hurt after the passing of a loved one after I had what I call my epiphany: life is a journey with its ups and downs and death is the destination of humans' journey. Death is the crossing line to eternal life if you are a believer. I celebrate the life of my loved ones who did/do pass and they live forever in my heart but keep on in my own journey of living until I reach my own destination. I do my best to practice self care but I am not afraid of dying; death IS part of life: only a living person can die. I hope that you get to understand my approach and even adopt it: it's liberating! from stress, mourning, depression...God bless.
So true… My father passed away when I was 37… I felt like i aged 10 years… I am now at 40 starting to recover and to “rejuvenate” trying to make my biological age match that of my ID… But grief is super ageing… The loss of a loved one is the most traumatic event in life.
Im 97 years old in a few months and all my life I slept for 3-4 hours a day. I feel healthy and still have energy to do my gardening and do some light exercises.
Agreed that we don’t necessarily need 8 hours. Mu aunt lived to her mid-80’s and all her life only got 4-5 hours of sleep. A lack of sleep didn’t slow her down!
I’m 68 single retired in Chicago I started calisthenics at 64 and workout many hours a-week being it has helped mentally physically and grateful I’ve found this sport. Front levers , double front levers ,pull-ups ,chin ups ,shoulder levers ,head bangers . The results are amazing mobility is life . Results… happy …a six pack and respected. Please continue this great word . David Jenson
Thank you ! I will keep on exercising. I am 63 years old but in better shape than in my thirties! I started in my fifties. I enjoy running, swimming, dancing,hiking, and Yoga.
This guy kept asking Who hates dancing? I'm like me! I do. I hate to dance. So do most of the people I know. That might be a cultural thing. I love swimming, hiking, and Yoga though. (Also hate running.) Lol.
@@PKperformanceEUonly around 1 million people run a marathon a year, and you have to have a qualifying time to even be able to run the Boston marathon
@@PKperformanceEUu must be so full of yourself writing "National champion" on all your comment. A true National champion wont preach himself like this, but wil let facts speaking for him
@@Funymoney010thanks for the belittlement. I won the road cycling u19 pro nationals and got 2nd at the xc marathon due to mechanical issue. But sure those 1 million people are a higher tier athlete than me🤣🤣
Hey... don't worry about your genetics. My family is a train wreck of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and mental illness. I started running at the youthful age of 53, I was overweight and lived a sedentary lifestyle. I lost weight and now my hobby is running ultramarathons in the mountains. I ran around Mt. St. Helens last year (50K - 2300m elevation gain/loss - 9 hrs, 35 minutes) and training for my first 50-miler in Sept 2024. I absolutely love it and if my health allows for it, I'll be running 100-mile races when I'm 60 years old. Just go for it. I cannot explain how much joy I derive from running and I would never have believed it even a few years ago. I did a lot of stupid things when I started, but if you plow through the first year it gets better and those small strides/high stride rates are critical features of avoiding injury. I run SLOW too...people are embarrassed to run slow but if you are going to run for 8-12 hours continuously you have to run slow.
@@Axe_L68 - I think a long-term view of training/activity is key to injury prevention, knees or otherwise. These couch-to-marathon training programs are nonsense, especially at my age. Adaptations take time and you cannot rush them. Your knee health will increase with running, not decrease if you load them appropriately and allow time for adaptation.
@@Axe_L68 I actually prevent knee damage by running barefoot or with very minimalistic shoes. Inspired by the studies of prof. Lieberman. Modern running shoes strongly incentivise a completely wrong and inefficient technique. So far (15 years of barefoot running) so good.
What a kind, compassionate guy…I can’t recall ever hearing anyone with such knowledge and self fitness levels, be so balanced in their opinions and advise. …having compassion for those who are not fit and overweight, not wanting them to be shamed, pointing out its a tough journey going from unfit to fit….Fantastic, informative episode!! Thank you
I really liked it when he said that the most important thing that we didn't talk about is that we need to be compassionate towards each other. What a nice man.
@sgarciabelaunde that is not what he said. He said that exercise for tarahumaras is so natural that they did not have a word for that. Also because tarahumaras speak a dialect, and they may not have a translation for that as well.
I am also a 73 year old not retired woman. I do count my steps and work in my gardens almost daily. I’m in better shape than I was as a 50 year old CEO who was a working way too much. I agree with him. Love this.
@@erict.35I’m 77 and just listened too! Lol You better get different markers for “age”…. And getting older is not optional..it’s in your future! I hope others treat you kindly. How sad you think relevant listeners are only young.
@@erict.35 Dude, that's an OLD way of thinking about it, oh the irony. Old people are playing mmorpgs nowadays, why wouldn't they listen to educational podcasts? xD
It's insane how much I loved how the professor passed on his knowledge; he chose the perfect word and didn't even seem to be trying to do it. It's just his own natural way of being. The essence of every single thing he taught me is crazily amazing. LOVED THIS INTERVIEW!
I have a horrible chronic cancer called Systemic Mastocytosis which causes severe inflammation as mast cells constantly degranulate. People often question whether I am truly sick because running makes me feel many times better. Thank you so much for sharing this. I had no idea interleukin 6 was a possible reason why. I run a half marathon every weekend. 🎉
My mum didn't have a driver's licence when I was growing up, so we had to walk everywhere (much to my disgust). Now I'm so grateful as walking is as natural to me as breathing, and at 75 I can still walk for an hour a day a few times a week.
I’m 29 and I’m finally consistently going to the gym and doing saunas afterwards. It’s only been a month but I’m feeling fantastic and very fit. My membership has been worth every penny because the benefits to my mental and physical health have been astronomical. Long may it continue I want to stay fit for the rest of my life.
I was thinking about finding a gym with saunas but its far away and closes at 8pm.. so early. Even when its 3 o 4x the price i'd say its the on luxury that will help in the long run. plus we got to treat ouselves in some way.
@fc7424 Completely get what you’re saying. However, I have had my own personal struggles as well throughout my 20s. Age doesn’t discount struggle. We can all go through things at anytime. I hope you find something that works for you though.
@@sillychilly_ Thanks so much. That’s awesome good for you and that’s very inspiring to hear. Definitely going to keep pushing it. Takes 90 days to form a habit right. If I stay consistent til September then the habit is fully formed.
@@bm5_5_5 i agree. Its not "easy". Never. I dislike when people argument with the age. Cause if thats the truth then why we have so many overweight children and young adults. The problem is doing fitness. And its great effort no matter what age. Of course disabilities makes it harder i dont want to argue with that. I understand. 🙂
This is an amazing interview. The Professor Lieberman is incredibly objective in his approach to various subjects relating to life. Hugely educative and transformational.
0:05: 🏋♀ Exercise and physical activity are essential for preventing diseases and maintaining good health, but there are several myths surrounding it. 8:52: 💪 Physical activity is important for slowing down the aging process and maintaining overall health. 17:24: 💪 Physical activity becomes more important as we age, and exercise is a choice we can make to improve our health. 27:13: 🔑 Preventing diseases and improving health outcomes through physical activity and a healthy diet. 34:41: 💪 Physical activity is crucial for regulating inflammation and promoting health, but it doesn't have to be at the level of hunter-gatherers. 44:38: 👟 Physical activity is important for both physical and spiritual well-being, and it is a habit that should be encouraged from a young age. 52:14: 🦶 To prevent and treat plantar fasciitis, it is important to strengthen the foot and avoid relying on supportive shoes and insoles. 1:00:46: 💪 Running is not bad for your knees, but the way you run and the shoes you wear can affect your joint health. 1:08:32: 😅 Exercise is important for cardiovascular health and controlling inflammation, but there is no one-size-fits-all prescription and it is not a fast solution for weight loss. 1:17:22: 💪 The speaker discusses the importance of helping people become physically active without shaming or blaming them, and emphasizes that anything is better than nothing. 1:25:42: 📚 Exercise is a necessary and perspective-changing book that highlights the mismatched life we lead compared to our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

It is, it lowers stress hormones in everyone. It’s actually proven. Compassion also promotes healthy levels of needed hormones, by both the giver and the recipient.
It's striking how many people survive only a few years after retirement. It seems to me that it's due not so much to physical degradation as mental degradation: my theory is that they have identified so strongly with their role at work that once they lose that role they have nothing else to sustain them. I never identified strongly with my job, and couldn't wait to retire. Once I did, I was freed to spend my life in more fulfilling ways, and after almost 20 years in retirement, and at the age of 75, I have never regretted it for a moment. There is always something interesting to do or learn, and never ENOUGH time to do it all. The idea of being bored and depressed without a job to fill the hours just fills me with wonder, and sadness.
You have a great outlook and sound like you learned a lot of lessons through experience. What city do you live in and do you think the weather has had any impact? I live in Miami now but grew up in NY where I seemed to have more energy (even in the winter).
''It's striking how many people survive only a few years after retirement. It seems to me that it's due not so much to physical degradation as mental degradation:'' I definitely won't be in that group. Providing my health is Ok and I have enough money to eat and pay my bills , I'll be one of those who thrives by doing whatever I want (within my budget) ,whenever I want and appreciate my last years on earth.
Retired at 55 y old...i would luv too . Im a french family doctor and my work involves since 18 y old , stress,bad sleep, bad eatings, too short sleep ...most of the older doctors i knew are dead .some are in good health first genetics.. and 2d they would feel life like a joy .
I'm indigenous from Borneo and the men normally do physically hard work like fishing, dive, hunting, farming, some do constructions, climb, etc. Yes the men are lean, fit and muscular (not the big muscle like weightlift guys kind). Exercise is almost non-existent for our community because everyone move on daily basis and surrounded by greenery. and we only eat fresh produce in "just enough portion". now it start to make sense that the big city gym + diet etc lifestyle is only to pay back the unhealthy lifestyle we have.
I’m 61. Been retired from a stressful law enforcement career. Had heart issue and got a stent in my widow maker. I was not happy. This year I got a job working at a winery. Physically demanding, 3 days a week. It kicked my butt for the first couple months. Now I’m stronger than people much younger and the mental benefits of working are life changing.
Enjoy this information. I was worried because I wake up after 6 or 7 hours of sleep. I feel rested and at 65 still work. I'm not overweight, do moderate exercise and eat healthy. I don't take any medication. Health is Wealth and I feel blessed. Most of my family and friends had knee or hip surgery or take lots of meds. Podcast like yours do encourage positive lifestyle change. Thanks.
Well, Elon musk said he only gets 5 hours. He also said tthat this was his choice and what he found optimum after finding tthat 4 was too little for him. I think you're doing well If you get over 6.Most people who work getting between 5 and 6 a night. I think
i noticed im able to sleep less (and still be fine) when i eat more calories. I calculated how many calories my body really needed, and when i started adhering to that, my energy was through the roof in the morning---and i noticed when i didn't eat as much, *then* I needed the full 8 hours (and when i say calories, i mean specifically nutritious calories, not empty calories like from McDonalds or soda).
I'd like to share my answer to the last question. I started exercising regulary when I stopped the pressure of being accountable. For me, it was the freedom of doing as much and when I wanted. I am already demanding of myself and being lighter on myself was more beneficial. So, there are several tactics possible and each person should play around to find their own. Doing things with friends is the best antidote laziness. I walk a lot, love it, but to climb a mountain, literally, I need to be pulled out of my comfort zone by friends.
I completely agree. I think that consistency just comes from a place of self forgiveness and appreciation, and not from a place of self judging and harsh imposition. The key aspect for me was changing my intentions.
Same here; I have to be mild towards myself and give myself freedom, as soon as I realised that things fell into place. I am much more motivated with no stick behind the door.
8:00 interrupted sitting healthier 10:00 7 hours of sleep 12:10 resistance training essential 17:00 psychosocial stress bad for body 19:00 Harvard study: exercise more important when older 25:10 hyperbolic discounting 33:00 fat leads to inflammation 34:00 turn down inflammation with exercise 40:50 dancing great exercise
Thank you but correction for 33:00, SUGAR and TRANS fats are inflammatory. Fats - unsaturated are good and saturated fats in low amounts are good as well.
This podcast does an amazing service- translating science for a broad audience-hearing directly from world renown experts. Key takeaways- 10K steps is beneficial but don’t neglect strength training; 7 hours of sleep is a good goal, but sleep needs vary (sick/healthy, young/older); being active is important to mental health and may improve capacity for happiness. #Engage #StayActive #BeHappy
Thanks, so much better. These words should replace the first minute and a half of the video. This is only their second video I've seen, and already I'm irrationally angry at their cringy attempt at viewer retention. Dude your video/podcast is an hour and a half. Stupid cliffhanger intros won't change anyone's mind about it. A good tl;dr that promises to expand itself in the full length will.
My dog is my personal exercise motivator. He keeps me going even thru the depths of winter. He's a non-judging exercise buddy who won't take no for an answer. I'm a 72 yr old guy who walks or jogs daily for at least 45 mins, 7 days a week because of my 1 yr old bichon-poodle cross who runs 2-3miles daily and literally pulls me out of the chair by mid morning if I haven't already taken him earlier. My other exercise coach team are my grandchildren who I've been swimming with weekly for the last 4 years. Since my grandson turned 2 - he's now 6 and taught me, a non-swimmer, to swim by joining him in his lessons.
I’ve always been disciplined and always been on the slim sporty side and I always naively judged people not taking care of themselves and not doing any kind of physical exercise and taking the comfortable routes (elevator instead of stairs, pastries instead of healthier foods, etc). And last year I got pregnant, being in the best shape I’ve ever been. And during pregnancy I didn’t really do any sports or reliable moving, exercise of any kind.. particularly in the last trimester. And now after having given birth, im trying to get back in shape little by little and the will is there but I have to say - it is so much harder than I expected. I’ve lost muscle and added extra fat for the baby (happy with that) and I’m now always stiff and in pain and barely breathing even after 3minutes of running. My knees hurt and I find it very easy and tempting to give up after a couple of abs exercises, as opposed to easily doing 100 abs before. So it has been quite the revelation for me that when you’re skinny and in shape, it’s easy to keep that shape and do exercise. The flexibility is there. But when you start from scratch when you haven’t been physically active for a long time, perhaps having added a certain amount of weight over a period of time - it’s really f*cking hard. I feel bad for having judged people before and have massive respect for anyone who wants to get in shape and keeps going at it every day and puts in the energy even with so much physical pain.
Having been pregnant and given birth twice over 20 years ago, your experience does not reflect mine. Not meaning to be controversal and it may not apply to you, but my friend had a similar experience, and it has been contributed to an adverse affect of the covid-19 jabs. She has some bodily inflammation and heart inflammation.
Pregnancy will humble you for sure. 😂 I have been having the hardest time getting weight off since having a baby. Before pregnancy, in three months I’d drop 15 lbs easy. After baby, three months of working out is only 5 lbs off. like wtf man. 😩 keep pushing through, you’ll get there.
A very insightful comment, you're right about starting from scratch, I spent 25 or so years living with chronic pain and fatigue in bed using a computer. Then at the beginning of covid I started building a good forest on my 1/2 acre property, I've just got back into working in the garden (my only exercise) and it's hard, but very enjoyable.
As a personal trainer/wellness coach, this video makes me so happy. Thank you for promoting the idea of healthy food commercials, focusing on preventative care, and encouraging doctors to know more about nutrition and exercise. I remember the first time I trained a doctor, I was intimidated by the thought of training them until I realized how little they knew about exercise and nutrition.
@@afterhours2025 And just drug cures at that, for which most know less than Pharmacists anyway. Many are reluctant to consistently apply the scientific method and work with their patients.
A lot of medical professionals are ignorant about fitness and nutrition. A lot of them have mental issues, bad credit, and depression. They are just like many white and blue collar workers, know how to do a job but not about life and investing.
I think the key to sticking to something is to like it. If you dislike it, even a bit, that will accumulate over time and you'll be more likely to quit . When it comes to exercise, It also helps if you understand that it's a lifestyle. It's not something you'll do for a while to get a particular result and then stop. Just accept that you'll exercise for the rest of your life, because it's who you are and it's what you do. So, choose an activity or workout schedule that you can maintain in the long term. It's better to commit to one or two workouts per week, than to workout five times per week and quit after a while because it wasn't sustainable.
Exactly. When exercise is seen a a chore, the battle is already lost. I you love walking, do it. A lot. Same for anything, whether it be dancing, boxing, weights, yoga or whatever.
Agreed. I always quit after pushing myself too much. What worked for me: Sticking to jogging to start off with. Simple, just one leg in front of the other. Got a friend to do it with and hold eachother accountable. Never go more than 3 times a week, but at least 1. (I average about 2.5 times a week lol) But ive been consistent at this, whereas any other sport ive given up.
This research is great until you get arthritis. As a long term swimmer 5-6 days a week for 45 years, running and biking and walking but now at 71 with a knee replacement ( you can’t lift weights with a titanium knee), stairs hurt the knee as well, now I have two shoulders that I have bone on bone arthritis. No surgery will cure it. Now I can’t swim and can walk but I also can’t lift weights. So one can plan these things all you want but some things you cannot guarantee. Hubby was a long distance runner and he too can’t run because of a very bad back injury. So it’s a nice story but life plans things for one no matter what we try to keep up with.
I really appreciate these talks with experts in their fields who don't necessarily all agree exactly, but who when put all together build a fairly coherent picture of what a healthy lifestyle should look like. I especially appreciate the way each of the ones I've watched so far has emphasized having compassion and helping over judging or nagging. There is one thing I haven't heard mentioned so far in how our lifestyles can make living a healthy life hard, and that is how much time you spend working. Poor diet as a factor of poor pay has been addressed, but people working multiple jobs have limited time for other things too. Not every low-paying job involves physical exertion, and for those who spend the majority of their time at work and/or commuting there are a limited number of discretionary hours in the day that they have to choose between spending on options like taking the time to cook their meals, cleaning their home, socializing, learning something, spending time with their family, doing a physical activity, making sure they get enough sleep, etc.
I've been working out at 4:30am (alone and outside even in the dead of winter) for five years now. I've never missed a single day in five years 6 days a week. I take Sat off. I stay consistent because I view it as brushing my teeth and it improves my mood and day. I actually look forward to the workout and it's almost the highlight of my day!
You are overtaxing your adrenals causing cortisol production. You should give your self 48 hours rest and repair between each session. Resistance training should be your core go to and HIIT once a week
@@melvaughn29 So you go to sleep at 21 and wake up at 4:30 , that's like going to sleep at 23:30 and waking up at 7, like normal people. I grew up in a farming community, people went to sleep at 23, woke up at 4:00 to take care of animals, worked the field, came back to take care of the animals, socialized a bit, then went to bed. Always full of energy until well past the age of 90. My father, who came from the city, got some good advice from my farmer grand-grandmother : "Look outside , do you see any animals ?" There were no animals to be seen , all of them were somewhere in the shade, taking a nap during the hottest part of the day. That's the secret. My father is now 82, and he's still active, doing gardening, cooking, always finding some stuff to do around the house.
In answer to the one question, my answer would be "habit." I started exercising daily for 20 minutes when I turned 50. I exercised at the same time every day. I just turned 70 and in the past 20 years worked my way up to 90 minutes daily. Same time of day. Took me 20 years and retirement to get me here. That time block is set aside for that purpose. If I miss a day for some reason, no big deal, but it has become such an ingrained habit that I would never miss it if I had a choice. And remember the words of Lao Tzu: Habits become character, and character becomes your destiny.
I started to experience plantar fasciitis with a job where I stood all day, and I discovered in an old school readers digest vitamin and herb book, that magnesium chelate would treat this issue. I bought some, took it, and the very next day my foot was better. I had been walking around on feet that felt a brick for two months, when a client had come in saying she had to get surgery to cure hers, and that was when I looked to vitamins and cured mine overnight. I hope that helps.
This is the first episode that I have watched of this series and the first video of this channel, in my opinion, this channel deserves more subscribers, more likes, and more comments than it has. I find this productive and informative which is the best thing about this channel. I highly appreciate your work.
I vehemently disagree with this comment. The interviewer as boring and unengaging as they come. He certainly doesn't get the best of the this fantastic guest. I huge missed opportunity.
To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don't stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
@@renekeldorff7864 This is how you perceived this comment, but I saw in this comment that you are trying and it will pay off for you, everything will be fine with you
I'm 82 and have realized most of these answers through experience. #1, I have always loved to exercise. It makes feel good. I have found if you feel good, you will be happier than if you don't feel good. #2, I eat a little bit of everything and not a whole bunch of anything. Sometimes I don't eat at all for a day or two. #3, I don't see doctors unless it is an emergency like a broken bone or a cut that needs to be stitched. No meds of any kind. I have learned our health is up to us. #4 Don't let yourself get overweight. Skinny is healthy.
This is the best video I have seen ever. Thanks so much, I am 78 in June and I do intermittent running 3 days a week. I used to enjoy my days off by relaxing but after seeing this, I will walk the other two days. Thanks. My BP is normal.
This man is a wise wise man, and is very non judgemental. Best kind of real life teacher ( someone who helps someone learn) as there possibly can be. Thank you!!!! 👏👏👏 Im sending this video to all my children (5) and praying they watch it.
Money rules the world. Scientists love money and are broke. Companies need to maximize their resources, including employees. Literal who famous RUclipsrs are literal whos and should not be trusted. They are promoters/socializers, and many are placed there by big money. If I fall asleep at 5 in the morning, I'll naturally wake up at around 12:00 1:00. Oh, and the pleb cheers whatever and whenever because they're not that sharp. Put two and two together, people. Listen to your body.
We are suffering from information overload. One says 8 hour sleep is essential, another it's not, both with research! Another says this exercise is essential, while another says it's not, both with research! And so many other examples.. The age of so much confusion
And then there is reality, it's about genetics, some people don't have to exercise and will be fit, some people can sleep for 4h and it's perfectly fine while some need that 8h, some will exercise for years and nothing major will change some will see effects in month. That's why all those talks are pointless as it's all individual in the end.
conflicting health information is a good way to hone critical thinking skills and common sense. people should gather data from all sides and perspectives and then use it to come to their own conclusions -- based on their individual needs. carnivore vs vegan? put me down for Paleo. but yeah. most of these experts are selling books or competing for clicks & views so they push their own pet theories or "magic solutions."
I live in Canada and I wish we would promote a culture of dance. Dance is the best play because it is fun. Dance promotes exercise, social interaction, cooperation, balance, strength, endurance. Dance can be done individually, by couples and groups. Dance can be done at any age from tiny tots to seniors. There are dance styles from pleasure to competition. It's a true life time activity. It spills over into promoting music and musicians and costume designers. It simply feels good and therefore promotes good mental and emotional health. It burns calories. Dance is fun and there's so many kinds to choose from. If a nation really wants healthy citizens it should promote dance as a national sport.
Many cultures have their traditional dance and that to me is so beautiful people learn it very young and continue it into their older years. I agree with you 100% Canada needs to do a lot of things a lot better
Brilliant conversation. Weight training exercise makes complete sense. My partner and I are now 74 years and retired. My partner retired at the age 72 as she was a Palliative health carer worker and she always also says, If you don't use it, you loose it, so looks like we will be undertaking some weight training.
Not recently, about 30 years ago I went to a investor's telecast at EDWARD JONES and the presenter said a large percentage of people over the age of 65 can't lift 10 lbs over their heads. I'll just says this, "still lifting at 70+"
and this is what I appreciate about Bobby Kennedy. not trying to make this discussion political, but it's great seeing somebody with an audience actually promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle. there should be more of this in general, people should show off health and not promote unhealthy lifestyles. I surely wouldn't mind being as fit as him at 70.
My grandma was 102 years old when she passed. She always said she still felt she was the same person as when she was 18. She sometimes smoked a cigarette and drank wine (1 glass only) when her grandkids came to visit her and did not do one minute of sports other than hanging from the kitchen cupboard handles to keep her shoulders supple. When she became 102, she continually stated that having 7 sons and 2 daughters kept her fit, (worried enough), and alert. She was an incredible woman!
please abstain from telling people smoking and alcohol are fine, because its not. i smoked and drank for about 15 years, finally managed to quit about 2 years ago; took me 3 attempts. best decision of my life. dont gaslight scientific proof just because your grandma got lucky.
"this person i know was fine drinking and smoking sometimes" and? congratulation at your grandma but we are 7 fucking bilion is pretty obvious that there will be someone who is less effected,plus i doubt you show up everyday so she might smoke little,plus living well and living long are two different things why do you think she do little sport? aniway stop make seem this thing healthy we are so many fucking moron who die because of it,plus there is needed like 50 years against false information by company before people realize that smoke was harmful, can we please stop doing stupid shit?
This is best health podcast I’ve heard. This doctor is so practical, compassionate, reasonable, and not demanding to be healthy great great doctor indeed
31:31 prevention. After treatment for #breastcancer - here in the UK I along with my MP we campaigned for ‘health awareness’ in the National curriculum. I’m pleased to say that it’s now included.. Educating our future generations was THE most important thing for me. I’m 61 and was 54 when I got the diagnosis of cancer. Thankfully, I had a common treatable cancer but I did have a baseline fitness (started jogging when I was 50 and do Pilates) this is such a great interview. Thank you to you both. Denise Coates 🎀
Thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. Wonderful to listen to a man who knows what he is talking about. I so often see youtubes with bad advice and a large amount of views, so disappointing. I'm 69 and doing all the right things. I've been casually running three miles for twenty years. I still run at least once a week. I also lift weights, do exercises, walk and stretch. I've recently cut back on sugar a lot too and increased my fiber.
I turn 64 next month and yesterday, I skied a 14,000' peak. It was a 16 hour day, covering over 18 miles and 6,500 feet of vertical gain. It included hiking, skinning on skis, climbing frozen snow with crampons and ice axes, scrambling and technical rock climbing, and skiing back down to the 6 mile hike back to the trailhead. I'm a Pisten Bully mechanic, which is physically on par with construction work and go backcountry skiing/ski mountaineering, hiking, rock and ice climbing or general mountaineering once or twice a week. I haven't been to a doctor in about 10 years and that was for a cortisone shot in my thumb. Most of the guys I work with are half my age and couldn't hope to keep up with me. I say all this as evidence that you don't have to get weak and sick as you age. Being strong means being able to do difficult things. If you don't do difficult things, then easy things will become difficult.
That again, will not necessarily buy you a longer life. You just do more things than the average Joe, but you also wear and tear your body more than a person that eats right, rests right and exercises a bit.
Maybe half of the guys aren't so selfish and don't dedicate so much of their time on themselves. What I can do at half your age you could never do even if you got to 100 just because your brain can't do it. Also another few billions of people can't do what I do but I don't go around the internet showing off.
@@simsnqta It's just a testament to what's possible, as opposed to what people constantly settle for. Also, you can't say that I can't do what you do, unless you know absolutely, that you're the only one who can do it. You also have no idea whatsoever how much of my self I give to others. Your comment is full of assumptions.

Although I get quite a lot of exercise, am in great shape and eat very healthily, doing some intermediate to advanced yoga yesterday evening seem to have a significant benefit. I rarely do yoga and started a few months ago just to do the "5 tibetans" because of time constraints. This morning I realised what capacity there is to help my body in the best way. I very much appreciate the wisdom of getting enough exercise and the right sort in order to have the resources to really enjoy life to the maximum as we grow older.
What encouraged me to start exercising was going through a heartbreak and first time experiencing really bad mental health. The doctors prescribed me anti depressants and I refuse to take them as I knew I never physically tried to look after my body before this with nourishing foods and strength & cardio training. Once I starting implementing these things to my life, my mental health has never been better! I feel like self-love has also got a hand in taking the first step to doing what’s best for you and your health. I think if people find their ‘why’ it makes exercising a lot easier. Force yourself to go the first week or 2, once that dopamine starts to hit you’re on a roll. Motivation isn’t needed, it’s consistency. Those days you don’t feel like exercising are the most important days to show up for yourself. I also think when people have gym body goals in mind it’s easy to get put off exercising, the most amazing bodies took years of gyming and discipline. Exercising and eating good should be part of your lifestyle and then the body has no option but to get fitter 💪🏽 Amazing podcast Steven, I learn something new every time I tune in 👏🏽
@@Hypocrisy.Allergic yeah it should be but my parents are from India, a place where people don’t really exercise as they are very physically active in day to day stuff. I haven’t grown up with someone teaching me about strength training. I’ve never been out of shape and Ive always been very active so I’ve never really felt the need to go. Until I educated myself. A very small percentage of people train at the gym generally that’s why Steven makes podcasts like this to educate people☺️
Wow Dr L is such a wonderfully informed, compassionate, deep, kind and delightful guest. I go in and out of exercise I just hate it and hate physical things. Spending my time over a craft table, knitting, listening to spiritual speakers, anything but not physical. And yet at times I went thru periods of enjoying a routine until something emotional happens and I just can't add to my misery with workouts. I promised myself I would get out my yoga mat today and stumbled upon this wonderful channel. Thank you so much for your interesting and intelligent interviewing style and caring heart to have organized this channel. Blessings!
Nothing like a good sweat. Cleans out the pores, and the endorphins, incredible sense of well being, clarity, and massive reduction of stress. Yoga has you living in a cerebral fantasy. Make it real. Evening walking or dancing. Get the joy back.
Many people just start out walking 15min a day then increase to 30 minutes a day and eventually end up enjoying it because of the reduction of depression and the increase in seratonin. It has others benefits as well but the point is we don't always enjoy it at first but actually do over time. Just 30min a day of moderate walking can do alot for your health.
@@firstbornjordan good observation, i just do yoga stretch taking my clue from the postures but not doing them per se, but yes you are bringing up a good point. A gentle neighborhood bike ride also can be in the same category.Thanx.
What a great interview and how well he explained things. So grounded and real, no defensiveness. I'm 64, play loads of tennis and also do meditative healing work because of my traumatic background. There is a link between body and mind. Exercise not only helps the body but also releases some of the stuck emotional places. difficult to explain, but the Body keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk covers it.
I'm 58 years old, and I recently started gyming for the first time in my life (I've done other forms of exercise, but never gyming). I do about 180 minutes a week. I enjoy it a lot, though it's sometimes hard, and this conversation has encouraged me so much, confirming that I'm on the right track with what I'm doing exercise-wise.🙂🙂
I'm your age and at 50 was best shape of my life after being a total couch potato. Changed My life when I found a personal trainer who does functional training.... Then met a man who trained people for Spartan races... After year of that and twice a week hiking in hills in California for 10+ miles..... My aches and pains I thought were age related disappeared. Kept up with people who were 30 yrs younger...... That training made me feel I could do anything, motivated, disciplined, slept great..... Keep up the work. You probably can do more than you ever imagined
00:03 Exercise is crucial for preventing disease and maintaining good health. 05:42 Physical activity and exercise myths 15:59 Physical activity is vital for maintaining health and slowing the aging process. 20:50 Environment plays a crucial role in the development of diseases. 29:46 Physical activity and lower insulin levels are key to preventing cancer. 34:50 Physical activity is crucial for regulating inflammation and maintaining health. 44:31 Physical exercise is important for overall health and well-being. 49:04 Long distance races are a form of prayer and a metaphor for life. 58:07 Our ancestors had enough muscle mass to perform necessary tasks but not excessive muscle mass 1:02:38 Running with a forefoot or midfoot strike can reduce impact on joints and prevent injuries. 1:11:53 Physical activity is important for preventing weight gain or weight regain. 1:16:35 Encourage people to start small and not feel ashamed or pressured to achieve extreme fitness goals. 1:25:48 Having unrealistic expectations and comparing oneself to others leads to unhealthy feelings of pride or jealousy
At 65 I increased my running to 6mi/day and always ran on / near my “toes” and with minimalist running shoes. I reasoned that this would take impact off of my knees. Great to hear that for once in my life I made a good decision. I will also say that in all these years of being super fit / low bmi / plamt based diet I have NEVER got a dopamine “hit” .. and as mentioned earlier I run 6mi/day 365 days/year. I enjoy getting out of the house , I enjoy being in a beautiful 350 acre park by a lovely lake but I don’t actually enjoy the “run”
I hope you meant a big goofy clown smile as you run. For me its about making healthy decisions, meditation, and like you, keeping myself moving. Those things bring joy.
@@nelsonli7556 I love everything about running except the actual running. Although I did just run Williams lake trail in Taos .in 1hr .. 3.5 mi there and back and 1000ft elevation.
Running itself is not necessarily enjoyable. But the mental fight of running creates real joy. Today I ran a half marathon at 3:59 per km. It was a personal record and it was my exact goal. As im leaving towards my car im literally giddy with joy almost to the point that tears ran down my cheeks. Nothing beats that feeling. Conquering the mind with the mind….
Damn, thats is seriously impressive. I get the joy. For older people among us that havent done strength training, you really need to prioritize that. Look at beginner routines and slowly build up. Strength training is also much easier than endurance. You do a set and chill for a minute or two, just pacing about. Can be bodyweight exercises, squats, lunges, pushups (knees). Machines make things easier tho for if you cannot do a pull up.
"Eat the Street" is my motto. Lifting is protection to keep us running and moving. I often wonder why people don't pursue the buzz that leaves one's head gulping endorphins.
Key points for me: Sitting is OK, just get up and move every 10-15 minutes, it improves genes and blood sugar etc. Natural environment sleepers (without any elec/tech) sleep 6-7 hours nightly average. 7 hours optimal nightly sleep for longevity - statistics complex & vary greatly. 7k-8k steps per day is good. Benefits taper beyond 8k. Strength train twice weekly or more - especially if you are ageing. We are meant to be active as we age, grandparents naturally hunt, gather, raise children. All of which counters ageing. When physical activity is not necessary we need to make it rewarding. Increased blood pressure and ageing are often western lifestyle / diet rather than ageing itself. Women with 150 mins activity per week have 30-50% lower lifetime breast cancer risk than sedentary women. Cut down on high sugar, low-fibre foods @32:00 best lamen explanation of sugar & insulin I've heard. Trans fats and sugar cause inflammation. Exercise turns down inflammation, muscles are an endocrine organ. We never evolved a physical mechanism to regulate inflammation because we didn't evolve to be sedentary. Promote healthy food rather attacking unhealthy food. Running is not bad for your knees. If you are unfit, the dopamine 'hit' from exercise may take months or even years of activity before it starts - do not feel bad about not feeling good when exercising! That reward feeling may take a while to come. Never shame yourself or others for their progress with exercise. This is a crude abbreviation of conversation worth listening to in full and buying his book.
Without doubt one of the best interviews I've watched on RUclips - very inspiring. As a 52 year old and having had some mental issues in the past, exercise is so important to me and my mental health. I'm pretty fit for my age, find something you enjoy and stick with it - cycling is my passion , both mountain biking and road biking. Lunchtimes I am out mountain biking up the local hill's around where I work working up a sweat and then taking the trails back down and enjoying the fun of the descent. When out on my road bike I actively look for hills to push myself and then enjoy the ride's back down. Swimming is another activity I do on and off. Great interview !
I worked out all throughout high school then stopped for about 8 years. I picked it back up about a year ago and it made a huge difference to my mood and motivation. Due to this I realized I didn't do it for the social aspect but more for the mental aspect, I feel more energetic and better about myself everyday because of it. Great interview thanks for the awesome content
I think the point isn't that you require social pressures. It's that social pressure is _the_ answer above all others for nation-wide changes. It's really not a revolutionary idea either. The way exercise is done in the US military is _very_ social, and the greatest performances, especially for those normally under-performing, are in the _most_ social activities, such as those requiring group cohesion or dependence on others. Some ideas everyone could relate to I think are "relay race," "running in formation," or "buddy carry." Individuals might be the best at a solo activity due to some other factor, but groups excel because of the group.
I was an athlete since single digits, went to the military, always ate superbly (my mother was a dietician) and still diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (no family history nor genetic trait) @30 years old. I'm blessed I am able to run and exercise with ease today...however, cancer is complex. So, don't beat yourself up. You can minimize the risk factors, but these malignant gene errors are still not fully understood I am grateful he went over proper running formation.
Does anyone help you with mental issues that might be at stake. Furthermore question more than ever before what is sold to you in terms of " healthy". Lots of cheating out there!
Reading your comment give me hope! How is your mom? I ask because my 32 year old daughter just diagnosed with breast cancer. I am very concerned, cry a lot when I think about her future. What and how did your mom treated? Is your mom cured or still go through treatment? Thanks in advance for your advice and helpful information. 🙏🥰
I'm sorry you've had to deal with that. Had bladder cancer at 37 while being active my whole life and eating healthy, regular exercise, and I never smoked. Smoking is a huge risk factor for bladder cancer. You can do everything right and still have health problems. I wish people would understand this.
Can you expand on your environmental conditions? What the possible the pollutants you were exposed to, including in the military. What cleaning products for house and home, the condition of the schools you went to or workplace. I'm interested in how phthalates (plasticizers) may have contaminated us adn am wondering if that is a contributing factor. This is not to blame but honest scientific inquiry. Good luck in your treatment. May you heal.
there's definitely so much misinformation surrounding nutrition and it can feel overwhelming trying to find what's right for your own body. it's so important to slow down and see what's truly working for us on the individual level and balance this with advice
slow down is a general point. what many people in our "western societies" don´t realize is the fact that you can shove the "best" food into your system but when it´s not done in a relaxed way, combined with appetite and good chewing it might just do damage ... .
Meat. We evolved during an ice age eating large ruminant animals they measured the ice on the ground height in MILES there were ZERO plants and ZERO sugar. Ketosis is our natural state we are literally born in it. You're welcome
@@lindam4259 throwing the word processed onto things doesn't exactly mean anything. White rice is also "processed" yet there's nothing wrong with eating it. Nuts and seeds are also severely overrated and are way too concentrated with fat to really be consumed in any large manner. Keep the sugar, cut out the excess fat and enjoy life.
There are so many fantastic guests hosted on this podcast and this was another. I am 76 and up until Covid stopped my daily group sessions, I've exercised daily. Slowly I've gotten back into the habit and have never lost the love of good healthy food, alcohol is only consumed when we entertain or are entertained. So many people I know, including myself, have had a cancer of some sort and so many are now exercising to help recovery and hopefully will continue on that journey. I agree that the medical profession, in all countries, need to concentrate on prevention as well as cure.
I wholeheartily agree, the problem the Allopathic medical system is mostly controlled by big pharmaceutical companies, and only interested in money and control unfortunately, and only interested in the "symptoms" not the cause.
This Professor is so so so nice to listen to. He seems like a great, highly intelligent and lovely person. I learnt a lot from this video and i found it to be highly interesting. Im 18 y/o getting into working out mainly for long term health and this video was super interesting and full of important information for me. Thank you so much!
Thank you again! Another great guest! Just a word on his answer, apparently the best way to know when your ego is involved in your thought process is if there is any comparative element relating to one's own personal value or perceived value, it's coming from your ego. Of course when you think about that, it seems obvious, but the ego can be very subtle so I'm not sure what the take away is other than what he said about how it always has a negative effect...
Listen to your body. My grandmother lived to be 95. She ate moderately, gambled at seniors club, ate a piece of cake for her birthday, prayed, went to church, cared about family, no internet, no cell phone...just common sense. Find people, love others and love yourself- LOVE will keep you in the best shape of your life, mentally, emotionally, spiritually- your body will reflect that.
Hi, recently came across some of your RUclips videos and instantly related to the advice on staying healthy now and long term. A Point that resonated for me was: Exercise that is fun. I'm currently 56 years old, ride MTBs on weekends, and incorporate chin-ups 3 times a week. I would characterize myself as. "The Lazy Exerciser" and wanted to share my experience with you in case you've heard similar experiences or research that backs up what happened to me. In 2013 I bought a Moutain bike to ride with my daughter and ended up going out for weekend rides because I was "really enjoying" the experience and realized the riding was making me exercise a lot harder than I would at a gym. So I canceled my gym membership and just focused on once-a-week weekend riding (90min). The first thing that happened, without realizing it, was I dropped 5kg around my waist and was, in general, feeling stronger and had more energy. This was great but I started thinking about my upper body strength, so decided it had to be something at home because I hated going to gyms. I installed a chin-up bar, so every Mon, Wed, Fri morning I would do 1 set of 10 chin-ups. At first, I couldn't do 10 but over time my strength improved and this routine became an automatic part of my get up and go work routine. It's almost as if I'm not exercising as it's so quick to do and it has become a permanent change in my daily routine. At first, I didn't think doing so little exercise would make such a difference, but it has. I think people burden themselves with exercise programs rather than taking the slow approach of building up slowly, seeing improvements, and adding small additions that are tailored to suit their lifestyle. I wonder if there could be such a thing as “The Easy exercise” program. Something along these lines could successfully help a large part of the population. So many people say, I keep giving up exercise, they are too old, hate exercise because of past experiences, don’t have the time, etc... My experience may not be the ideal program but it may be a more achievable and permanent change for most. It would be helping them get to "Level 1” exercise and I believe the health benefits could be significant over the long term. I understand that diet and and sleep are critical factors as well but exercise takes time and effort and is so powerful. When people ask me about my exercise program they don’t quite believe so little exercise actually works. I now have about 6 other Bike riders who come each weekend for the 90-minute ride. Anyway, I hope this is of interest to you, and thanks for all your great advice. Regards Anthony, from Downunder
I can only agree, finding something you don't hate doing (and allowing yourself to take it easy) is so important. For me skating and climbing is something I mainly do for the joy it brings me and because it's part of my social life. I'll always hate indoor cardio like running on treadmills but I've learned that I actually enjoy doing strength training exercises. Just focusing on doing a specific action as controlled as possible makes my mind a bit more quiet and is a great exercise in focus for me (which is something I often struggle with). So in this case I've learned I don't hate the gym per se, and that in general there often are ways in which a certain sport or environment can be enjoyable that you wouldn't have thought of before.
At 73, I'm approaching 50 years of resistance training in various gyms. Last Winter I completed my 68th year of Alpine Skiing. I can still handle 100 lb dumbbells on the flat bench, 85 lbs on incline, and 65 lbs on Shoulder presses (each arm). During my physical at 70, my doctor revealed my phsiological age to be in the mid thirties. As I am pleased with my health and fitness, but don't understand those who allow themselves to fall victim to the ravages of Sarcopenia and Osteopenia . . . now classified as age related diseases. Thank you for sharing !!
Recently, I started running, and it completely changed my life and perspective. With it came so much more-eating better, making the most of each day, and feeling truly motivated. Thank you for this video; it was so enlightening and inspiring to keep going!
It’s not every day that I find a video this long and watch the whole thing. Every minute felt so important! I just restarted trying to fix my habits and this is even more inspiring
Inspiring, really. As an older lady with a bum hip, it has given met an incentive. Working from a desk doesn't mean not being able to excercise/move my body 5 minutes per 2 hours. Thanx!
38:07 Stephen, you are such a great interviewer. The questions you ask are extremely insightful and detailed. You genuinely want to know to help unlock the code for people
My stepfather is 93, status working at 8 yo, started stopping at 91. No exercise, no cancer, no diabetes. Always slept 5 hours a day. He never had time to be sick. Worked at day and studied at night. A selfmade man.
My grandmother is 92 next month and I have never seen her exercise, she has sat all day watching television and smoking 40 cigarettes a day for minimum 33yr of my life. She also eats once a day and it's usually greasy sausages chips.

I'm in mid 70s still work in admin in mental health sector full time hours, enjoy working, keeps me mentally stimulated. Since covid and working from home I started to experience a bit of difficulty walking up stairs (also had part of my lung removed during covid) and began to feel old, decided a couple of weeks ago to start back at the gym. Still early days, but walking up stairs is now OK, I'm walking a little further than usual and definitely feeling better all round. If you don't make an effort, you will start to seize up.

Hey Steven, what a really interesting talk to listen to! I would love a follow-up conversation with an urban planner enthusiast or expert focused on walk and bike mobility in urban and city areas. I'm from the Netherlands, where using a bike or walking to get around is advantageous and encouraged by the local government almost everywhere in towns and cities (via Urban planning). The subject of how to encourage people to use the stairs at work rather than the elevator/lift was already raised by Daniel, but the solution must be far more extensive. If I were to suggest someone, it would be Jason Slaughter from the NotJustBikes RUclips channel. I first learned about how dependent on cars many Americans (and Canadians) are, as well as how car-centric urban planning is, through his videos. There is a lot of unexplored potential there to get people moving or exercise.

You need to interview Dr Joe Dispenza
My dad is 102. When he retired he took a music degree and joined an semi professional orchestra and played until he was 90. Then continued to practise every day until his eye sight declined. He also went to the gym three days a week until covid and then he declined. Lack of gym and social interaction did more to age him than anything else.
Probably plus the fact that he was getting very old. I have a feeling that if I should reach 90, there will likely become a lack of gym.
Good for him. Thanks for sharing his fine example.
I'm 2 years off retiring. I'm pretty sure my physical activity will be improved by it. Long hours stuck on CAD workstation and being mentally too tired at end of day to do much exercise is what I need to end.

sorry to ask but how old are you now?
I love that he took a moment to mention that exercise is enjoyable once you are fit, and often not enjoyable until you are fit- and that we should have compassion upon those who are struggling in that process. What a great point and motivator, too.

@@noneya9943 no what?
That's pretty much right. If you go to the gym once it will be easier going there the second time but only if you don't wait too long until you go again. When the routine is back and the muscles stop hurting then it's actually pretty easy. The feeling of wellbeing from working out is addicting in itself

So, one must sleep 7 hours, eh? I thought I could do away with 5, at least that's what I had in my mind, before I jumped into this video.
My neighbor is almost 90 and lost her husband in December. She is outside everyday cleaning up after her horse and dog and keeping the yard up. She walks everyday. She's determined to not stop. We had another neighbor who lived to be 97 doing the same thing. I need to learn from them!
My mother in law is the same. Turns 90 on Thursday and does crosswords every day, plays Majong and bridge, keeping her mind sharp and does the garden to get her our of the house and active.
Yes! My great grandmother made it to 101. She was slim, fairly independent, fairly active, and gentle and kind. She is my favourite example.

If you are working class, I encourage you to make time to read the book Exercised as I look forward to reading it, and never copy the worst lifestyle examples of the petty bourgeoisie. As with the fitness industry, it is suitable for the people who are in sedentary jobs. We have to self educate, we cannot imitate other people especially if we have incompatibilities.
My main takeaways:
- 5:14, there’s no word for training in Tarahumara
- 7:53, interrupted sitting is healthier than non-interrupted sitting; every 10-15 minutes
- 8:43, the 8-hours of sleep idea has been around since the Industrial Revolution; 6-7 hours is fine
- 10:24, the 10k steps-a-day idea originated before the Tokyo Olympics in the 60’s while picking a word for the pedometer which was just invented; it sounded about right although there was no science behind it
- 11:03, Hunter gatherers walk between 10k~18k; gender based; studies show no evidence of advantage above 7-8k steps
- 12:37, I’ve incorporated at least two strength workouts per week; weight training becomes more important as you age
- 30:42, women who are physically active (150 minutes a WEEK or more) are 30%-50% less likely to develop breast cancer
- 32:09, cut down foods that are high in sugar and low in fiber- those elevate your insulin levels
- 32:22, insulin is an anabolic hormone- it triggers the process of taking energy into the cells for storage so it’s natural for insulin levels to rise when you eat and decrease when you exercise so that energy gets consumed; over-saturating a cell to the point they swell and rupture, they get damaged
- 33:31, this causes the immune system to act and results in inflammation
- 33:42, and systemic inflammation is like a slow burn
- 34:09, so you also want to dial down your immune system
- 34:22, when you are physically active your muscles produce interleukin-6 molecules which at high levels are anti-inflammatory
- 35:10, we never evolved an alternate anti-inflammatory mechanism other than physical activity
- 48:51, for Tarahumara people running is a form of prayer; many cultures used to have some spiritual connection with running and endurance
- 52:51, the best way of preventing plantar fasciitis is by having strong feet; the problem with plantar fascia is that it has almost no vascularization so it’s hard to repair once it’s inflamed
- 55:00, Vivo shoes are the kind that will help you strengthen your feet
- 56:46, to much muscle isn’t good
- 56:58, muscles are an expensive tissue; two thirds of our body is muscles and it spends about 20% off our energy when not using them
- 57:26, the only thing natural selection cares about is how many offspring you have, survive and reproduce- it doesn’t care if you are strong or healthy or nice or loved
- 1:01:50, running isn’t bad for your knees
- 1:03:35, the correct way of running is with a forefront strike, i.e. landing with the front of the foot. Because shoes cushion the heels, they enable you to run the way you walk, which causes impact collisional forces that damage the knee.
- 1:06:17, a good runner lands with their shank/tibia vertical so their ankle is below the knee
- 1:13:54, diet is the bedrock of weight loss; exercise doesn’t contribute as much but it plays an important role in preventing weight gain
- 1:19:20, being overweight causes you to be insensitive to insulin and dopamine
Thank you for the summary. however, many bullshits in this interview. For exemple, 10k steps and more has been proven recently and throughout meta analysis that is really beneficial to the health and the benefits continue after 10k … same for sleeping. Science rn says that it depends on people and some need more, some need less. So basically I would not trust that guy, to many errors.
Lovely

Exactly what I was thinking.
I’m 60 also and love being active in my garden. I like activity that has a purpose. I could never run on a treadmill!
You know gardening, if done quite vigourously provides a real all body workout, we just have to watch the back! I do loads of sports but often find I work up just as much of a sweat turning over the earth or weeding as I do playing football or cycling!!
Absolutely agree 💯 this type of video opens up a whole new approach in my mind to getting in that 150 minutes of required physical activity 😊

I have yet to meet anyone over 90 that can react in time to stop when a child runs into the street or a car veers into their lane. It is not responsible to drive over the age of 90 and most people should stop driving in their 80s.

Retirement from a job that gives you stress is a must. Retirement does not mean we stop taking care of ourselves. Exercise is self care.
Retirement from a job doesn't mean to rerire in house and wait to die. Some are just sitting, eating and watching tv after retirement. When you do some job , even taking care of grandchildren you are not retired . One should understand this word in a broad manner.
In retirement, pivot from paid work to volunteerism. That seems to be the natural social progression.
Yes, these bourgeois doctors live in a bubble. Do they think a garbage collector should never retire?
@@Lolipop59 maybe that is what some people want to do after they retire? In that case, it isn't "waiting to die," but rather getting some rest, especially if they had demanding jobs beforehand.

When my mother died I understood how a person of fragile health can die soon after the passing of a deeply loved long-term partner. Grief is an extreme stress on the body, and it takes its toll, especially on the heart. I felt my body had aged a few years within the first year of mum's passing.
So sorry for your loss
So sorry for your loss!
Ms. Leslie, I no longer hurt after the passing of a loved one after I had what I call my epiphany: life is a journey with its ups and downs and death is the destination of humans' journey. Death is the crossing line to eternal life if you are a believer. I celebrate the life of my loved ones who did/do pass and they live forever in my heart but keep on in my own journey of living until I reach my own destination. I do my best to practice self care but I am not afraid of dying; death IS part of life: only a living person can die. I hope that you get to understand my approach and even adopt it: it's liberating! from stress, mourning, depression...God bless.

So true… My father passed away when I was 37… I felt like i aged 10 years… I am now at 40 starting to recover and to “rejuvenate” trying to make my biological age match that of my ID… But grief is super ageing… The loss of a loved one is the most traumatic event in life.

Hey... don't worry about your genetics. My family is a train wreck of diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and mental illness. I started running at the youthful age of 53, I was overweight and lived a sedentary lifestyle. I lost weight and now my hobby is running ultramarathons in the mountains. I ran around Mt. St. Helens last year (50K - 2300m elevation gain/loss - 9 hrs, 35 minutes) and training for my first 50-miler in Sept 2024. I absolutely love it and if my health allows for it, I'll be running 100-mile races when I'm 60 years old. Just go for it. I cannot explain how much joy I derive from running and I would never have believed it even a few years ago. I did a lot of stupid things when I started, but if you plow through the first year it gets better and those small strides/high stride rates are critical features of avoiding injury. I run SLOW too...people are embarrassed to run slow but if you are going to run for 8-12 hours continuously you have to run slow.
Well done.
How do you prevent knee damage from running at your age? Any precautions?
@@Axe_L68 - I think a long-term view of training/activity is key to injury prevention, knees or otherwise. These couch-to-marathon training programs are nonsense, especially at my age. Adaptations take time and you cannot rush them. Your knee health will increase with running, not decrease if you load them appropriately and allow time for adaptation.
Wow, you sound like a mountain lion, the mountains!
@@Axe_L68 I actually prevent knee damage by running barefoot or with very minimalistic shoes. Inspired by the studies of prof. Lieberman. Modern running shoes strongly incentivise a completely wrong and inefficient technique. So far (15 years of barefoot running) so good.
Bravo, Kevin. Choice is a powerful thing
What a kind, compassionate guy…I can’t recall ever hearing anyone with such knowledge and self fitness levels, be so balanced in their opinions and advise. …having compassion for those who are not fit and overweight, not wanting them to be shamed, pointing out its a tough journey going from unfit to fit….Fantastic, informative episode!!

This is an amazing interview.
The Professor Lieberman is incredibly objective in his approach to various subjects relating to life.
Hugely educative and transformational.
0:05: 🏋♀ Exercise and physical activity are essential for preventing diseases and maintaining good health, but there are several myths surrounding it.
8:52: 💪 Physical activity is important for slowing down the aging process and maintaining overall health.
17:24: 💪 Physical activity becomes more important as we age, and exercise is a choice we can make to improve our health.
27:13: 🔑 Preventing diseases and improving health outcomes through physical activity and a healthy diet.
34:41: 💪 Physical activity is crucial for regulating inflammation and promoting health, but it doesn't have to be at the level of hunter-gatherers.
44:38: 👟 Physical activity is important for both physical and spiritual well-being, and it is a habit that should be encouraged from a young age.
52:14: 🦶 To prevent and treat plantar fasciitis, it is important to strengthen the foot and avoid relying on supportive shoes and insoles.
1:00:46: 💪 Running is not bad for your knees, but the way you run and the shoes you wear can affect your joint health.
1:08:32: 😅 Exercise is important for cardiovascular health and controlling inflammation, but there is no one-size-fits-all prescription and it is not a fast solution for weight loss.
1:17:22: 💪 The speaker discusses the importance of helping people become physically active without shaming or blaming them, and emphasizes that anything is better than nothing.
1:25:42: 📚 Exercise is a necessary and perspective-changing book that highlights the mismatched life we lead compared to our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

I really appreciate this podcast and Dr Lieberman's advice on being more compassionate towards one another. I feel that's such an important motivator.
Yes, I hope his message of compassion is what people take away most from this interview.
It is, it lowers stress hormones in everyone. It’s actually proven. Compassion also promotes healthy levels of needed hormones, by both the giver and the recipient.

It's striking how many people survive only a few years after retirement.
It seems to me that it's due not so much to physical degradation as mental degradation: my theory is that they have identified so strongly with their role at work that once they lose that role they have nothing else to sustain them.
I never identified strongly with my job, and couldn't wait to retire. Once I did, I was freed to spend my life in more fulfilling ways, and after almost 20 years in retirement, and at the age of 75, I have never regretted it for a moment. There is always something interesting to do or learn, and never ENOUGH time to do it all. The idea of being bored and depressed without a job to fill the hours just fills me with wonder, and sadness.

I'm indigenous from Borneo and the men normally do physically hard work like fishing, dive, hunting, farming, some do constructions, climb, etc. Yes the men are lean, fit and muscular (not the big muscle like weightlift guys kind). Exercise is almost non-existent for our community because everyone move on daily basis and surrounded by greenery. and we only eat fresh produce in "just enough portion". now it start to make sense that the big city gym + diet etc lifestyle is only to pay back the unhealthy lifestyle we have.

Enjoy this information. I was worried because I wake up after 6 or 7 hours of sleep. I feel rested and at 65 still work. I'm not overweight, do moderate exercise and eat healthy. I don't take any medication. Health is Wealth and I feel blessed. Most of my family and friends had knee or hip surgery or take lots of meds. Podcast like yours do encourage positive lifestyle change. Thanks.
Great work 💪
Well, Elon musk said he only gets 5 hours. He also said tthat this was his choice and what he found optimum after finding tthat 4 was too little for him.
I think you're doing well If you get over 6.Most people who work getting between 5 and 6 a night. I think
It is more complex that someone don't need or need that. I am personaly destroyed after 6 hours or less of sleep.

i noticed im able to sleep less (and still be fine) when i eat more calories. I calculated how many calories my body really needed, and when i started adhering to that, my energy was through the roof in the morning---and i noticed when i didn't eat as much, *then* I needed the full 8 hours (and when i say calories, i mean specifically nutritious calories, not empty calories like from McDonalds or soda).
I'd like to share my answer to the last question. I started exercising regulary when I stopped the pressure of being accountable. For me, it was the freedom of doing as much and when I wanted. I am already demanding of myself and being lighter on myself was more beneficial. So, there are several tactics possible and each person should play around to find their own.
Doing things with friends is the best antidote laziness. I walk a lot, love it, but to climb a mountain, literally, I need to be pulled out of my comfort zone by friends.
I completely agree. I think that consistency just comes from a place of self forgiveness and appreciation, and not from a place of self judging and harsh imposition. The key aspect for me was changing my intentions.
Same here; I have to be mild towards myself and give myself freedom, as soon as I realised that things fell into place. I am much more motivated with no stick behind the door.

This podcast does an amazing service- translating science for a broad audience-hearing directly from world renown experts. Key takeaways- 10K steps is beneficial but don’t neglect strength training; 7 hours of sleep is a good goal, but sleep needs vary (sick/healthy, young/older); being active is important to mental health and may improve capacity for happiness. #Engage #StayActive #BeHappy
Thank you so much for such an amazing chunk of summary.
Thanks, so much better. These words should replace the first minute and a half of the video. This is only their second video I've seen, and already I'm irrationally angry at their cringy attempt at viewer retention. Dude your video/podcast is an hour and a half. Stupid cliffhanger intros won't change anyone's mind about it. A good tl;dr that promises to expand itself in the full length will.
My dog is my personal exercise motivator. He keeps me going even thru the depths of winter. He's a non-judging exercise buddy who won't take no for an answer. I'm a 72 yr old guy who walks or jogs daily for at least 45 mins, 7 days a week because of my 1 yr old bichon-poodle cross who runs 2-3miles daily and literally pulls me out of the chair by mid morning if I haven't already taken him earlier.
My other exercise coach team are my grandchildren who I've been swimming with weekly for the last 4 years. Since my grandson turned 2 - he's now 6 and taught me, a non-swimmer, to swim by joining him in his lessons.
I’ve always been disciplined and always been on the slim sporty side and I always naively judged people not taking care of themselves and not doing any kind of physical exercise and taking the comfortable routes (elevator instead of stairs, pastries instead of healthier foods, etc). And last year I got pregnant, being in the best shape I’ve ever been. And during pregnancy I didn’t really do any sports or reliable moving, exercise of any kind.. particularly in the last trimester. And now after having given birth, im trying to get back in shape little by little and the will is there but I have to say - it is so much harder than I expected. I’ve lost muscle and added extra fat for the baby (happy with that) and I’m now always stiff and in pain and barely breathing even after 3minutes of running. My knees hurt and I find it very easy and tempting to give up after a couple of abs exercises, as opposed to easily doing 100 abs before. So it has been quite the revelation for me that when you’re skinny and in shape, it’s easy to keep that shape and do exercise. The flexibility is there. But when you start from scratch when you haven’t been physically active for a long time, perhaps having added a certain amount of weight over a period of time - it’s really f*cking hard. I feel bad for having judged people before and have massive respect for anyone who wants to get in shape and keeps going at it every day and puts in the energy even with so much physical pain.
Having been pregnant and given birth twice over 20 years ago, your experience does not reflect mine. Not meaning to be controversal and it may not apply to you, but my friend had a similar experience, and it has been contributed to an adverse affect of the covid-19 jabs. She has some bodily inflammation and heart inflammation.
Pregnancy will humble you for sure. 😂 I have been having the hardest time getting weight off since having a baby. Before pregnancy, in three months I’d drop 15 lbs easy. After baby, three months of working out is only 5 lbs off. like wtf man. 😩 keep pushing through, you’ll get there.
After all my 4 childbirth I already started doing abs in the hospital bed.... The women in the beds beside me thought I was crazy lol
A very insightful comment, you're right about starting from scratch, I spent 25 or so years living with chronic pain and fatigue in bed using a computer.
Then at the beginning of covid I started building a good forest on my 1/2 acre property, I've just got back into working in the garden (my only exercise) and it's hard, but very enjoyable.
As a personal trainer/wellness coach, this video makes me so happy. Thank you for promoting the idea of healthy food commercials, focusing on preventative care, and encouraging doctors to know more about nutrition and exercise. I remember the first time I trained a doctor, I was intimidated by the thought of training them until I realized how little they knew about exercise and nutrition.
Yes. They just depend on cure (medicine) and not on prevention.
Personal trainer/wellness coach lol.
@@afterhours2025 And just drug cures at that, for which most know less than Pharmacists anyway. Many are reluctant to consistently apply the scientific method and work with their patients.
A lot of medical professionals are ignorant about fitness and nutrition. A lot of them have mental issues, bad credit, and depression. They are just like many white and blue collar workers, know how to do a job but not about life and investing.
Oh yeah I'd totally trust a "personal trainer/wellness coach" over an actual qualified doctor...
I think the key to sticking to something is to like it. If you dislike it, even a bit, that will accumulate over time and you'll be more likely to quit . When it comes to exercise, It also helps if you understand that it's a lifestyle. It's not something you'll do for a while to get a particular result and then stop. Just accept that you'll exercise for the rest of your life, because it's who you are and it's what you do. So, choose an activity or workout schedule that you can maintain in the long term. It's better to commit to one or two workouts per week, than to workout five times per week and quit after a while because it wasn't sustainable.
I totally agree
I personally love to exercise and if I don't get it my anxiety goes thru the roof.
Exactly. When exercise is seen a a chore, the battle is already lost. I you love walking, do it. A lot. Same for anything, whether it be dancing, boxing, weights, yoga or whatever.
Agreed. I always quit after pushing myself too much.
What worked for me:
Sticking to jogging to start off with. Simple, just one leg in front of the other.
Got a friend to do it with and hold eachother accountable.
Never go more than 3 times a week, but at least 1.
(I average about 2.5 times a week lol)
But ive been consistent at this, whereas any other sport ive given up.
This research is great until you get arthritis. As a long term swimmer 5-6 days a week for 45 years, running and biking and walking but now at 71 with a knee replacement ( you can’t lift weights with a titanium knee), stairs hurt the knee as well, now I have two shoulders that I have bone on bone arthritis. No surgery will cure it. Now I can’t swim and can walk but I also can’t lift weights. So one can plan these things all you want but some things you cannot guarantee. Hubby was a long distance runner and he too can’t run because of a very bad back injury. So it’s a nice story but life plans things for one no matter what we try to keep up with.
As accomplished as Dr. Lieberman is, he also struggles with comparing himself to others. He's so relatable. Not a moment wasted listening to him.
I really appreciate these talks with experts in their fields who don't necessarily all agree exactly, but who when put all together build a fairly coherent picture of what a healthy lifestyle should look like. I especially appreciate the way each of the ones I've watched so far has emphasized having compassion and helping over judging or nagging. There is one thing I haven't heard mentioned so far in how our lifestyles can make living a healthy life hard, and that is how much time you spend working. Poor diet as a factor of poor pay has been addressed, but people working multiple jobs have limited time for other things too. Not every low-paying job involves physical exertion, and for those who spend the majority of their time at work and/or commuting there are a limited number of discretionary hours in the day that they have to choose between spending on options like taking the time to cook their meals, cleaning their home, socializing, learning something, spending time with their family, doing a physical activity, making sure they get enough sleep, etc.
I've been working out at 4:30am (alone and outside even in the dead of winter) for five years now. I've never missed a single day in five years 6 days a week. I take Sat off. I stay consistent because I view it as brushing my teeth and it improves my mood and day. I actually look forward to the workout and it's almost the highlight of my day!
And who would wake up at 4:30 am to brush their teeth? There is so little respect for sleep.
You are overtaxing your adrenals causing cortisol production. You should give your self 48 hours rest and repair between each session. Resistance training should be your core go to and HIIT once a week
@@gerardomenendez8912 I go to bed at 9:00pm and always feel well rested.
@@gerardomenendez8912 I only work out for 30-40 mins a day. Not an extreme level
@@melvaughn29 So you go to sleep at 21 and wake up at 4:30 , that's like going to sleep at 23:30 and waking up at 7, like normal people.
I grew up in a farming community, people went to sleep at 23, woke up at 4:00 to take care of animals, worked the field, came back to take care of the animals, socialized a bit, then went to bed. Always full of energy until well past the age of 90.
My father, who came from the city, got some good advice from my farmer grand-grandmother : "Look outside , do you see any animals ?"
There were no animals to be seen , all of them were somewhere in the shade, taking a nap during the hottest part of the day. That's the secret.
My father is now 82, and he's still active, doing gardening, cooking, always finding some stuff to do around the house.
In answer to the one question, my answer would be "habit." I started exercising daily for 20 minutes when I turned 50. I exercised at the same time every day. I just turned 70 and in the past 20 years worked my way up to 90 minutes daily. Same time of day. Took me 20 years and retirement to get me here. That time block is set aside for that purpose. If I miss a day for some reason, no big deal, but it has become such an ingrained habit that I would never miss it if I had a choice. And remember the words of Lao Tzu: Habits become character, and character becomes your destiny.
I started to experience plantar fasciitis with a job where I stood all day, and I discovered in an old school readers digest vitamin and herb book, that magnesium chelate would treat this issue. I bought some, took it, and the very next day my foot was better. I had been walking around on feet that felt a brick for two months, when a client had come in saying she had to get surgery to cure hers, and that was when I looked to vitamins and cured mine overnight. I hope that helps.
I have got PF for 6 months and it is so painful. How many grams of magnesium Chelate did you take per day?

We are suffering from information overload. One says 8 hour sleep is essential, another it's not, both with research! Another says this exercise is essential, while another says it's not, both with research! And so many other examples.. The age of so much confusion
And then there is reality, it's about genetics, some people don't have to exercise and will be fit, some people can sleep for 4h and it's perfectly fine while some need that 8h, some will exercise for years and nothing major will change some will see effects in month. That's why all those talks are pointless as it's all individual in the end.

I live in Canada and I wish we would promote a culture of dance. Dance is the best play because it is fun. Dance promotes exercise, social interaction, cooperation, balance, strength, endurance. Dance can be done individually, by couples and groups. Dance can be done at any age from tiny tots to seniors. There are dance styles from pleasure to competition. It's a true life time activity. It spills over into promoting music and musicians and costume designers. It simply feels good and therefore promotes good mental and emotional health. It burns calories. Dance is fun and there's so many kinds to choose from. If a nation really wants healthy citizens it should promote dance as a national sport.
Many cultures have their traditional dance and that to me is so beautiful people learn it very young and continue it into their older years. I agree with you 100% Canada needs to do a lot of things a lot better
Excellent observation and so true!
Brilliant conversation. Weight training exercise makes complete sense. My partner and I are now 74 years and retired. My partner retired at the age 72 as she was a Palliative health carer worker and she always also says, If you don't use it, you loose it, so looks like we will be undertaking some weight training.
Lose*** christ you’ve had 74 years to perfect the language
Time to take weight training back up.
Not recently, about 30 years ago I went to a investor's telecast at EDWARD JONES and the presenter said a large percentage of people over the age of 65 can't lift 10 lbs over their heads. I'll just says this, "still lifting at 70+"
and this is what I appreciate about Bobby Kennedy. not trying to make this discussion political, but it's great seeing somebody with an audience actually promote fitness and a healthy lifestyle. there should be more of this in general, people should show off health and not promote unhealthy lifestyles. I surely wouldn't mind being as fit as him at 70.
My grandma was 102 years old when she passed. She always said she still felt she was the same person as when she was 18. She sometimes smoked a cigarette and drank wine (1 glass only) when her grandkids came to visit her and did not do one minute of sports other than hanging from the kitchen cupboard handles to keep her shoulders supple. When she became 102, she continually stated that having 7 sons and 2 daughters kept her fit, (worried enough), and alert. She was an incredible woman!
Essentially she was always happy !
Amazing ❤
En?
please abstain from telling people smoking and alcohol are fine, because its not. i smoked and drank for about 15 years, finally managed to quit about 2 years ago; took me 3 attempts. best decision of my life.
dont gaslight scientific proof just because your grandma got lucky.
"this person i know was fine drinking and smoking sometimes" and? congratulation at your grandma but we are 7 fucking bilion is pretty obvious that there will be someone who is less effected,plus i doubt you show up everyday so she might smoke little,plus living well and living long are two different things why do you think she do little sport? aniway stop make seem this thing healthy we are so many fucking moron who die because of it,plus there is needed like 50 years against false information by company before people realize that smoke was harmful, can we please stop doing stupid shit?

An articulate, extremely knowledgeable, compassionate human being. Great chat!
Thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. Wonderful to listen to a man who knows what he is talking about. I so often see youtubes with bad advice and a large amount of views, so disappointing. I'm 69 and doing all the right things. I've been casually running three miles for twenty years. I still run at least once a week. I also lift weights, do exercises, walk and stretch. I've recently cut back on sugar a lot too and increased my fiber.
I turn 64 next month and yesterday, I skied a 14,000' peak. It was a 16 hour day, covering over 18 miles and 6,500 feet of vertical gain. It included hiking, skinning on skis, climbing frozen snow with crampons and ice axes, scrambling and technical rock climbing, and skiing back down to the 6 mile hike back to the trailhead. I'm a Pisten Bully mechanic, which is physically on par with construction work and go backcountry skiing/ski mountaineering, hiking, rock and ice climbing or general mountaineering once or twice a week. I haven't been to a doctor in about 10 years and that was for a cortisone shot in my thumb. Most of the guys I work with are half my age and couldn't hope to keep up with me. I say all this as evidence that you don't have to get weak and sick as you age. Being strong means being able to do difficult things. If you don't do difficult things, then easy things will become difficult.

"If you don't do difficult things, then easy things will become difficult." this is like the best quote ever
That again, will not necessarily buy you a longer life. You just do more things than the average Joe, but you also wear and tear your body more than a person that eats right, rests right and exercises a bit.
Maybe half of the guys aren't so selfish and don't dedicate so much of their time on themselves.
What I can do at half your age you could never do even if you got to 100 just because your brain can't do it. Also another few billions of people can't do what I do but I don't go around the internet showing off.

Although I get quite a lot of exercise, am in great shape and eat very healthily, doing some intermediate to advanced yoga yesterday evening seem to have a significant benefit. I rarely do yoga and started a few months ago just to do the "5 tibetans" because of time constraints. This morning I realised what capacity there is to help my body in the best way. I very much appreciate the wisdom of getting enough exercise and the right sort in order to have the resources to really enjoy life to the maximum as we grow older.
What encouraged me to start exercising was going through a heartbreak and first time experiencing really bad mental health. The doctors prescribed me anti depressants and I refuse to take them as I knew I never physically tried to look after my body before this with nourishing foods and strength & cardio training. Once I starting implementing these things to my life, my mental health has never been better! I feel like self-love has also got a hand in taking the first step to doing what’s best for you and your health. I think if people find their ‘why’ it makes exercising a lot easier. Force yourself to go the first week or 2, once that dopamine starts to hit you’re on a roll. Motivation isn’t needed, it’s consistency. Those days you don’t feel like exercising are the most important days to show up for yourself. I also think when people have gym body goals in mind it’s easy to get put off exercising, the most amazing bodies took years of gyming and discipline. Exercising and eating good should be part of your lifestyle and then the body has no option but to get fitter 💪🏽

@@Hypocrisy.Allergic yeah it should be but my parents are from India, a place where people don’t really exercise as they are very physically active in day to day stuff. I haven’t grown up with someone teaching me about strength training. I’ve never been out of shape and Ive always been very active so I’ve never really felt the need to go. Until I educated myself. A very small percentage of people train at the gym generally that’s why Steven makes podcasts like this to educate people☺️
Wow Dr L is such a wonderfully informed, compassionate, deep, kind and delightful guest. I go in and out of exercise I just hate it and hate physical things. Spending my time over a craft table, knitting, listening to spiritual speakers, anything but not physical. And yet at times I went thru periods of enjoying a routine until something emotional happens and I just can't add to my misery with workouts. I promised myself I would get out my yoga mat today and stumbled upon this wonderful channel. Thank you so much for your interesting and intelligent interviewing style and caring heart to have organized this channel. Blessings!
Nothing like a good sweat. Cleans out the pores, and the endorphins, incredible sense of well being, clarity, and massive reduction of stress. Yoga has you living in a cerebral fantasy. Make it real. Evening walking or dancing. Get the joy back.
Many people just start out walking 15min a day then increase to 30 minutes a day and eventually end up enjoying it because of the reduction of depression and the increase in seratonin. It has others benefits as well but the point is we don't always enjoy it at first but actually do over time. Just 30min a day of moderate walking can do alot for your health.

For older people among us that havent done strength training, you really need to prioritize that. Look at beginner routines and slowly build up. Strength training is also much easier than endurance. You do a set and chill for a minute or two, just pacing about. Can be bodyweight exercises, squats, lunges, pushups (knees). Machines make things easier tho for if you cannot do a pull up.
"Eat the Street" is my motto. Lifting is protection to keep us running and moving.
I often wonder why people don't pursue the buzz that leaves one's head gulping endorphins.
Key points for me:
Sitting is OK, just get up and move every 10-15 minutes, it improves genes and blood sugar etc.
Natural environment sleepers (without any elec/tech) sleep 6-7 hours nightly average.
7 hours optimal nightly sleep for longevity - statistics complex & vary greatly.
7k-8k steps per day is good. Benefits taper beyond 8k.
Strength train twice weekly or more - especially if you are ageing.
We are meant to be active as we age, grandparents naturally hunt, gather, raise children.
All of which counters ageing.
When physical activity is not necessary we need to make it rewarding.
Increased blood pressure and ageing are often western lifestyle / diet rather than ageing itself.
Women with 150 mins activity per week have 30-50% lower lifetime breast cancer risk than sedentary women.
Cut down on high sugar, low-fibre foods @32:00 best lamen explanation of sugar & insulin I've heard.
Trans fats and sugar cause inflammation.
Exercise turns down inflammation, muscles are an endocrine organ.
We never evolved a physical mechanism to regulate inflammation because we didn't evolve to be sedentary.
Promote healthy food rather attacking unhealthy food.
Running is not bad for your knees.
If you are unfit, the dopamine 'hit' from exercise may take months or even years of activity before it starts - do not feel bad about not feeling good when exercising! That reward feeling may take a while to come.
Never shame yourself or others for their progress with exercise.
This is a crude abbreviation of conversation worth listening to in full and buying his book.
Without doubt one of the best interviews I've watched on RUclips - very inspiring. As a 52 year old and having had some mental issues in the past, exercise is so important to me and my mental health. I'm pretty fit for my age, find something you enjoy and stick with it - cycling is my passion , both mountain biking and road biking. Lunchtimes I am out mountain biking up the local hill's around where I work working up a sweat and then taking the trails back down and enjoying the fun of the descent. When out on my road bike I actively look for hills to push myself and then enjoy the ride's back down. Swimming is another activity I do on and off. Great interview !
I worked out all throughout high school then stopped for about 8 years. I picked it back up about a year ago and it made a huge difference to my mood and motivation. Due to this I realized I didn't do it for the social aspect but more for the mental aspect, I feel more energetic and better about myself everyday because of it. Great interview thanks for the awesome content
I think the point isn't that you require social pressures. It's that social pressure is _the_ answer above all others for nation-wide changes. It's really not a revolutionary idea either. The way exercise is done in the US military is _very_ social, and the greatest performances, especially for those normally under-performing, are in the _most_ social activities, such as those requiring group cohesion or dependence on others. Some ideas everyone could relate to I think are "relay race," "running in formation," or "buddy carry." Individuals might be the best at a solo activity due to some other factor, but groups excel because of the group.
Fine, I'll start running again.
I was an athlete since single digits, went to the military, always ate superbly (my mother was a dietician) and still diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (no family history nor genetic trait) @30 years old. I'm blessed I am able to run and exercise with ease today...however, cancer is complex. So, don't beat yourself up. You can minimize the risk factors, but these malignant gene errors are still not fully understood
I am grateful he went over proper running formation.
Does anyone help you with mental issues that might be at stake. Furthermore question more than ever before what is sold to you in terms of " healthy". Lots of cheating out there!
Reading your comment give me hope! How is your mom? I ask because my 32 year old daughter just diagnosed with breast cancer. I am very concerned, cry a lot when I think about her future. What and how did your mom treated? Is your mom cured or still go through treatment? Thanks in advance for your advice and helpful information. 🙏🥰
I'm sorry you've had to deal with that. Had bladder cancer at 37 while being active my whole life and eating healthy, regular exercise, and I never smoked. Smoking is a huge risk factor for bladder cancer. You can do everything right and still have health problems. I wish people would understand this.
Can you expand on your environmental conditions? What the possible the pollutants you were exposed to, including in the military. What cleaning products for house and home, the condition of the schools you went to or workplace. I'm interested in how phthalates (plasticizers) may have contaminated us adn am wondering if that is a contributing factor. This is not to blame but honest scientific inquiry. Good luck in your treatment. May you heal.
Power to you. ❤❤❤.
I apologise for the parts of the human race that ask dumb questions.
So many things that Daniel is saying through this is what I've been
telling people for YEARS. I feel so much vindication.
there's definitely so much misinformation surrounding nutrition and it can feel overwhelming trying to find what's right for your own body. it's so important to slow down and see what's truly working for us on the individual level and balance this with advice
It's less misinformation and more varying opinion.
slow down is a general point.
what many people in our "western societies" don´t realize is the fact that you can shove the "best" food into your system but when it´s not done in a relaxed way, combined with appetite and good chewing it might just do damage ... .
Keep it simple: eliminate or severely limit processed foods, sugar, alcohol, animal protein....add more vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruits
Meat. We evolved during an ice age eating large ruminant animals they measured the ice on the ground height in MILES there were ZERO plants and ZERO sugar. Ketosis is our natural state we are literally born in it. You're welcome
@@lindam4259 throwing the word processed onto things doesn't exactly mean anything. White rice is also "processed" yet there's nothing wrong with eating it. Nuts and seeds are also severely overrated and are way too concentrated with fat to really be consumed in any large manner. Keep the sugar, cut out the excess fat and enjoy life.
There are so many fantastic guests hosted on this podcast and this was another. I am 76 and up until Covid stopped my daily group sessions, I've exercised daily. Slowly I've gotten back into the habit and have never lost the love of good healthy food, alcohol is only consumed when we entertain or are entertained. So many people I know, including myself, have had a cancer of some sort and so many are now exercising to help recovery and hopefully will continue on that journey. I agree that the medical profession, in all countries, need to concentrate on prevention as well as cure.
I wholeheartily agree, the problem the Allopathic medical system is mostly controlled by big pharmaceutical companies, and only interested in money and control unfortunately, and only interested in the "symptoms" not the cause.
@@kristene2372
Agree wholeheartedly.
This Professor is so so so nice to listen to. He seems like a great, highly intelligent and lovely person. I learnt a lot from this video and i found it to be highly interesting. Im 18 y/o getting into working out mainly for long term health and this video was super interesting and full of important information for me. Thank you so much!
Seems like a highly intelligent? Uhm, he's a professor...?
Not all professors are necessarily _"intelligent"._ The original poster's comment is an accurate one.
This professor is actually just a cringe leftist activist
Check his book EXERCISED and you will be even more amazed!

Thank you again! Another great guest! Just a word on his answer, apparently the best way to know when your ego is involved in your thought process is if there is any comparative element relating to one's own personal value or perceived value, it's coming from your ego. Of course when you think about that, it seems obvious, but the ego can be very subtle so I'm not sure what the take away is other than what he said about how it always has a negative effect...
Listen to your body. My grandmother lived to be 95. She ate moderately, gambled at seniors club, ate a piece of cake for her birthday, prayed, went to church, cared about family, no internet, no cell phone...just common sense. Find people, love others and love yourself- LOVE will keep you in the best shape of your life, mentally, emotionally, spiritually- your body will reflect that.
Hi, recently came across some of your RUclips videos and instantly related to the advice on staying healthy now and long term. A Point that resonated for me was: Exercise that is fun. I'm currently 56 years old, ride MTBs on weekends, and incorporate chin-ups 3 times a week. I would characterize myself as. "The Lazy Exerciser" and wanted to share my experience with you in case you've heard similar experiences or research that backs up what happened to me.
In 2013 I bought a Moutain bike to ride with my daughter and ended up going out for weekend rides because I was "really enjoying" the experience and realized the riding was making me exercise a lot harder than I would at a gym. So I canceled my gym membership and just focused on once-a-week weekend riding (90min). The first thing that happened, without realizing it, was I dropped 5kg around my waist and was, in general, feeling stronger and had more energy. This was great but I started thinking about my upper body strength, so decided it had to be something at home because I hated going to gyms. I installed a chin-up bar, so every Mon, Wed, Fri morning I would do 1 set of 10 chin-ups. At first, I couldn't do 10 but over time my strength improved and this routine became an automatic part of my get up and go work routine. It's almost as if I'm not exercising as it's so quick to do and it has become a permanent change in my daily routine. At first, I didn't think doing so little exercise would make such a difference, but it has. I think people burden themselves with exercise programs rather than taking the slow approach of building up slowly, seeing improvements, and adding small additions that are tailored to suit their lifestyle.
I wonder if there could be such a thing as “The Easy exercise” program. Something along these lines could successfully help a large part of the population. So many people say, I keep giving up exercise, they are too old, hate exercise because of past experiences, don’t have the time, etc... My experience may not be the ideal program but it may be a more achievable and permanent change for most. It would be helping them get to "Level 1” exercise and I believe the health benefits could be significant over the long term. I understand that diet and and sleep are critical factors as well but exercise takes time and effort and is so powerful.
When people ask me about my exercise program they don’t quite believe so little exercise actually works. I now have about 6 other Bike riders who come each weekend for the 90-minute ride.
Anyway, I hope this is of interest to you, and thanks for all your great advice. Regards Anthony, from Downunder
I can only agree, finding something you don't hate doing (and allowing yourself to take it easy) is so important. For me skating and climbing is something I mainly do for the joy it brings me and because it's part of my social life. I'll always hate indoor cardio like running on treadmills but I've learned that I actually enjoy doing strength training exercises. Just focusing on doing a specific action as controlled as possible makes my mind a bit more quiet and is a great exercise in focus for me (which is something I often struggle with). So in this case I've learned I don't hate the gym per se, and that in general there often are ways in which a certain sport or environment can be enjoyable that you wouldn't have thought of before.
At 73, I'm approaching 50 years of resistance training in various gyms.
Last Winter I completed my 68th year of Alpine Skiing.
I can still handle 100 lb dumbbells on the flat bench, 85 lbs on incline, and 65 lbs on Shoulder presses (each arm). During my physical at 70, my doctor revealed my phsiological age to be in the mid thirties. As I am pleased with my health and fitness, but don't understand those who allow themselves to fall victim to the ravages of Sarcopenia and Osteopenia . . . now classified as age related diseases.
Thank you for sharing !!
Good for you I'm 73 and can't do any of that ...
Thank you for sharing! You are inspiring me!
I know you are 12 buddy 🤬🤬😡 stop using your dad photo, you are cringe, go and do your school homework first lil kiddo
@@letsgomets002are you jealous ?
@@АлександрВасильев-п5л7у You're welcome. It just takes committment and consistency. It's certainly not instant gratification !
Recently, I started running, and it completely changed my life and perspective. With it came so much more-eating better, making the most of each day, and feeling truly motivated. Thank you for this video; it was so enlightening and inspiring to keep going!
It’s not every day that I find a video this long and watch the whole thing. Every minute felt so important! I just restarted trying to fix my habits and this is even more inspiring
I feel the same way every time I look at the length of time a video is if it's past an hour, I refuse to watch It.
@@traceylennon1204 i take it to the gym with me. i love long vids
Inspiring, really. As an older lady with a bum hip, it has given met an incentive. Working from a desk doesn't mean not being able to excercise/move my body 5 minutes per 2 hours. Thanx!
38:07 Stephen, you are such a great interviewer. The questions you ask are extremely insightful and detailed. You genuinely want to know to help unlock the code for people
You're going to change my life, I'll be starting to be healthier from now on ❤
My stepfather is 93, status working at 8 yo, started stopping at 91. No exercise, no cancer, no diabetes. Always slept 5 hours a day. He never had time to be sick. Worked at day and studied at night. A selfmade man.
So you're saying he lived to that ripe old age because of no exercise essentially.... What's your point?
you won't be exercising brain the way he did
you can spend energy with thinking the same way as exercising
My grandmother is 92 next month and I have never seen her exercise, she has sat all day watching television and smoking 40 cigarettes a day for minimum 33yr of my life. She also eats once a day and it's usually greasy sausages chips.
Thanks I never sleep more than 4-5 hrs and always hear how it'll make me die earlier...but I plan on living to 103...🎉❤
@@thejtizzel Perhaps you should be more thoughtful and less dumb with your questions.
I’m a dietitian. I listened to many podcasts on this channel and I utilize a lot of info discussed on here with my patients. There is just so much of misinformation out there. It’s mind boggling. These podcasts are so useful ❤
How do u determine what's misinformation? Is it based on the fact it's on CEO podcast it's got to be ligit? Or do u study for yourself.
A lot of dietitians contribute to misinformation so I dont trust them at all
@@hm27200Right. Some lady recently said fasting increased testosterone 1300% 😅. She mixed up numbers but she kept with it. Jumping on little non-peer reviewed studies and spewing them as facts makes several "experts" less credible, too.
@@hm27200it might be because he’s a PhD and performs a lot of scientific research which doesn’t always make him right, but at least he tries to find the accuracy in what we’ve previously been told.
@@hm27200 I find research articles that either confirm or rebut a claim. Of course before making a recommendation I delve deeply into the topic. I’m definitely doing my search
The intro told me everything I need to know: Don't RETIRE and do more WEIGHT TRAINING! Thanks, Dr. L !!
I’m 74 and call it reTEENment 🥳
What a wonderful guest. I thoroughly enjoyed his wisdom and kindness.
I'm in mid 70s still work in admin in mental health sector full time hours, enjoy working, keeps me mentally stimulated. Since covid and working from home I started to experience a bit of difficulty walking up stairs (also had part of my lung removed during covid) and began to feel old, decided a couple of weeks ago to start back at the gym. Still early days, but walking up stairs is now OK, I'm walking a little further than usual and definitely feeling better all round. If you don't make an effort, you will start to seize up.
I loved the part beginning at 37:30
A very mindful answer to this hard question. Freedom of choice is also part of a healthy mind!
Love the reminder: exercise starts rough, compassion goes a long way. ❤
