Elaine was apart of my upbringing. As soon as I heard mom walk down the hall I would get up. Mom would have me join her with Jack & Elaine exercise show. I even had my own chair for a 3 yr old. We did it every morning M-F until kindergarten. I am 65 yrs & still enjoy exercise !!! Thank u Elaine 💝. & Thank u Chef AJ for all ur work ! U 2 r truly a blessing 🎁
She’s a gem! I love the undying love for Jack. Not a thought or sentence went by without mention of him! I love her love of life and how real she is. Bless her!
Ditto, Dog Mom. I had the Pleasure of meeting her via a recently deceased friend of mine who also enabled me to meet & interview other former movie star celebrities like Jane Russel. ( The only private spot we could find was in a roped off upstairs bithroom. Jane sat in the T "Throne" (Toilet) & I on the bathtub rim. Jane was delightfully unpretentious & unceremonious Unlike many of her Hollywood ilk who sometimes fall victim to their movie star hype, she married her high school sweetheart & "...until death did the part..." Doris Day was another shing virtue of that era...
I grew up watching Jack LaLane with my mom! He was/still is an icon for us now in our 60's & 70's!! I truly believe it was his show that motivated me to start running/weight lifting at the age of 20 which I still continue today. Bless her! Very impressed with those biceps!
My step dad was good friends with Jack la Lane , my step dad passed a few years back and of course so did Jack , my step dad was born in 1913 , love Jack and Elaine ❤❤😊😊💐
For me, this interaction between two truly remarkable & inspirational women whose shared love for living a best life, is chefs kiss from start to finish ❤
Love you Ms Lalanne! So great to see you.❤❤❤ P.S. I'm almost 72 and my Mom and I used to do exercises with your beloved husband watching him on TV. We both loved your husband and appreciated his show. (Even tho I was pretty young at the time exercising was fun with Jack and my Mom.)
Great interview! I was wondering how she's been and she's puts me to shame and I'm only 60! Go Elaine, Go! Thanks Chef AJ for this interview. Really enjoying it.

🎉 @CHEF AJ Oh my goodness! It’s Elaine Lalanne at 97! Jack’s? What an extraordinary lady. My aunt was working fulltime into her early 90s, then part time. My grandfather to 90 par5 time, full time until 88. We’ve had some people past 100 being active, and in Japan I have met personally about a dozen active ones. It’s good to see, Cheering people up so much, and probably many people are getting good ideas. Personally was feeling so sad and desperate, sometimes feeling like I want to die, so seeing this and other people pulling through challenges and having some later successes truly makes a difference. Lots of people feeling challenges these days. It’s true about keeping moving. That’s what the family members said who were living longer, active into 90s and 100s. Blessings.
Thank you so much for bringing her back! Honestly her interview from the last time you talked with her--was seriously in your top 5 that I've seen over the many years now! I just love her and your interaction with her! "You are the captain of your ship"... I just love that! ❤️ precious precious gem right here! I hope she lives forever! 🎉
Elaine 🎉 You are amazing!!!!!!! Johnny must be so proud! I used to hang out with him in Malibu at Zuma Jays in the 80's. I'm now 64 & live in Kauai🌴🌺 Aloha..Jack was one of the happiest people I've ever known! Every time I do mule kicks I think of Johnny, he told me they were great for the buttocks.. I mostly Raw and you are my hero now good to see you, keep up the good work you're an inspiration
Interesting... our bloodstream is the "River of life" the Bible says: "life is in the blood".... how profound of jack to say! I wonder if he knew that was actually in the Bible? (Levitucus 17:11,14) Makes it even more of a foundation of truth!
The financial health you asked about is so important and rarely talked about outside of financial planning circles. Even folks who scrimped and saved their whole lives can find themselves outliving their retirement nest egg if they live 30, 40 years past retirement. My parents are a healthy 86 and 89 and moved 3 years ago to an independent living senior housing complex and the rents have gone up 40% in that time. They are very worried they might not be able to afford to continue living there unless us kids help out (and the three of us struggling to build up our 401ks). Only one of us has a pension. Social security might not last for us 50/60 year olds who retire at 65 and live till 100. I am thinking I will need to keep working in some capacity well into my 70s (good thing I like what I do). Even though large medical bills can pile up in the last 6 months of life, if you die young (65-70) it is still cheaper for the government to subsidize your sick care for that short term than to pay for your long term shelter/living costs if you live healthy for 40 years after retirement.
I love that she is a beaming 97 year old who knows balance, good nutrition and no extremes... this lady is not vegan. I am plant based myself, but not 100% vegan, and really do think Elaine is onto something here... She has clearly thrived on her lifestyle, wow!
La La is absolutely amazing at 97 ! Thanks Jack because everything just sank in to your wifey :)) seems like just a gem of a book….a little embarassing that the host did not research and find that out. I am listening today 😻
Wuuuuuut???? This is JACK LALAINE’S LADY??? wow. She’s outliving Jack like a gangster 🙇🏻♂️ The longer I look into this food stuff and listen to these people doing it right, it seems like the protocol is GREENS, a little bit of carbs from the best sources you can find and keep the blood pumping. I just keep coming back to these flatout wraps with 150-200 grams of collards and kale. Just garlic granules, yeast and lime on those. Burgers. The joy of eating burgers until your stomach explodes is the thing with the wraps. But wraps get boring and salads are cliché so I save fifty calories and DOUBLE the amount of greens in a giant 2lb bowl of a variety of vegetables if I have some boxes of low-calorie Miso broth (the entire rest of my diet is ultra low-sodium to make room for this Miso broth : walmart baby 🤗). This soup allows me to eat an extra four heads of purple cabbage per week. I’m extremely busy and work around 18 hours per day with a few days off per year. I need that purple stuff. Wraps or Miso a couple hours before bed is basically the nicest thing about life? I find my current sentiment on this unfamiliar and surprising. My mornings are spent pounding water, having berry and mint green teas in my black coffee: this replaced my peppermint laté from starbucks. Berries, purple sweet potatoes, black grapes, beans and Mccann’s Apple Cinnamon oats are kind of all I want. And I want a lot of it : there’s no limit to how much of these items I can eat in a day. I only burn 2200 calories per day. Eating 6,000 calories of sweet potatoes or grapes or oats is no problem. I wait until 2pm or 4pm to eat and when I do, it’s 250 cals of sweet potato OR grapes OR beans OR watermelon OR berries. I know how many calories I burn per hour (Garmin Instinct Solar) so I wait to eat until yesterday’s calories have been burned today plus a few hundred if I need it and if I can steer life appropriately. My diet is flexible and lets me put the power I want in the day wherever I want. It’s real control. Getting perfectly honest with Cronometer is the icing on the cake. So when I start eating my late lunch, I try to eat as few calories as possible and stop as soon as possible then not eat until I’ve burned those 250 or close to it and I’ll eat every few hours to keep fresh carbs coming without bringing in more calories than I’m going to burn in the next four hours. I make sure those calories will power me to dinner where I have 400-500 calories of greens via wraps or Miso which is a few hours before bed. I sleep like a Prince. The nex day I wake up with serious power; it feels like I can walk through plate-steel straight out of bed. Nice. But it’s hard to stop eating grapes, sweet potatoes, oats, etc. This stuff all tastes so good, it’s still a problem. As few calories as possible is the way. I eat in my sleep so I make sure bananas are the only things within reach (they don’t taste that great and volume is kind of King but if I can have watermelon in its place, I will). I can spend all my willpower trying not to eat in my sleep but I’ve learned to negotiate with myself : I let the midnight snacking take place, I just make sure it’s a banana. This saves me from waking up next to 10,000 calories of non-fat sweet tasty fiberless things. It just seems like the entire protocol is greens and as little as possible of the berries, grapes, sweet potatoes, and especially JUST ONE serving of the dry calories like oats. Dry calories have to be consumed carefully when I’m fully conscious. But I keep a couple oats on me because the dispatchable power they offer is insane. As few calories as POSSIBLE. From the BEST SOURCES POSSIBLE. I’d like to see the plant-based community talk more about the truth on how little we should be eating. As little as possible. Sad. A purple sweet potato is basically a blueberry donut, tastewise. And it’s so healthy and PACKED with nutrients and NOTHING that’s bad for us. And even still : as few calories as possible. It’s a huge disappointment. But feasting on the greens is the way to recreation and can be insanely enjoyable. I guess it makes sense: we’re probably not supposed to be ABLE to have a month’s worth of food supply just lying around. Feast on these greens, get the energy we need from the best carbs and live in a reality where foods contain fiber ; drugs don’t. I really enjoyed the dialogue in this video. Thank you 🙏🏻 Lovely seeing Mrs Lalaine. may she live a ling and healthy life ; RIP, Mr Jack 👊🏼

This was so great to see! Elaine is such an inspiration.
Saved to favorites to watch later. Does she eat plant based?
She said she eats some meat, but not a lot. She sometimes will have a little ice cream , wine, etc
She also said she eats a lot of veggies and eats healthy at least 75% of the time. She said eat everything in moderation
I have that juicer, oh my goodness. Someone passed it down to me.
What a lady ❤
I loved Happy the white Shepard ! ❤
It was a great interview 👏
Jack Lalanne, "She's in good shape for the condition she's in" LMAO
i love those two :)
Beautiful. 🥰
I noticed that her knuckles are not enlarged from arthritis. I would credit her exercise and food choices❤🤙🏼🌴
@48:19 she shows us the exercises
I wish she had asked her about Patricia Bragg who was still living at the time of this interview
I love that she is a beaming 97 year old who knows balance, good nutrition and no extremes... this lady is not vegan.
