Anyone who listened to Dr. Mike on his show knows full well how many times he was dying to be WILDLY inappropriate here, yet managed to hold back and present as an adult. You are an inspiration to so many of us and we applaud you for this exceptional display of self control sir! 🤣🤣🤣 #neverchange
This will be one of the rare occasions where Dr. Mike actually talks about the subjects and not sexual innuendos. 😂 Which has a tendency of dominating the conversation.
I was talking to some men in their late 40s and early 50s and they were complaining about how hard it is to stay in shape at their age and I asked one of them "How often do you exercise?" and he said "Oh I haven't been to the gym in years". I wonder how much of the pains of getting older are due to the body actually aging and how much of it is due to just neglect for your health compounded over the years.
Let's address this! I'm 55 still look actually like I did in my 30s, started lifting at 11 and a while back ago I had to young guys in their early 40s in the gym asking me about my lifting and started telling me that wait until you get in your 40s and enjoy being able to lift heavy and being buffed because it will all go away and down hill from there! Neither one of them had a clue that I'm actually 55 years old. Same with women which flip out when I tell them! I could easily lie and take advantage of them which is wrong and not fair to them! Even then to my surprise a couple of them still wanted to get together me being 25 yrs older I just can't do it! Don't stop lifting and eating well!
As woman who's 53 and been erroneously focused on strength, Dr. Mike is a refreshing kick in the ass. Thank you for the unvarnished truth and the inspiration I needed. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, thank you for inviting Dr. Mike and thank you for the introduction.
I was in the Air Force Reserve until I turned 57. I learned in my 40s I couldn’t ignore my fitness if I wanted to pass my fitness test I slowly stopped paying attention to working out until 2 yrs ago when the VA doctor came in asked how long I had been diabetic. Told him I had not known till now. I am slowly fighting back to a better level. Will soon be 65.
I'm sorry, but the, "How long have you been diabetic?" was presented in your comment with comedic timing. I couldn't help but laugh. However, now that it is out of my system, I wish you the very best, my friend.
Consider listening to the Dr. Ford Brewer podcasts. You will get a lot of good info from a couple doctors who are completely in the know. Listen to a few and you will know that they are the ones you need to hear. And keep listening to Dr. Gabrielle Lions… . She has a lot of great info and super interviews.
These two have both had a hand in changing my perspective when it comes to building muscle and losing weight. I started focusing on building muscle rather than trying to lose fat. And I gotta sat, I feel and look way better! I'm glad this collab happened
My sweet mother is my inspiration to remain strong and pay attention to my mobility/agility throughout the rest of my life. Mom is almost 91 and spent way too much time sitting. She is now laying in a hospice bed with total sarcopenia and getting her diapers changed and bed baths. I refuse to go there! We all have a choice. I'm 64 and hope to have at least 25 to 30 more good years.
I'm 61 and going through the same. Mothers sticking around to inspire us. I am carnavor and still need to up my diet with supplements. I'm going to the gym 5 days a week again, following this channel, very motivational to have a female PhD leading us. Most studies are done with men. My thyroid is correcting but had osteoporosis diagnosis at 28 with a back fracture. 100% will get the density back to solid now that someone makes sense. I want to make muscle and be strong and flexible. Reverse aging.
For people who have sedentary jobs even just standing up and walking around briefly every 20-30 minutes to get your blood flowing prevents things like blood clots and a lot of other future issues. We didn’t evolve to sit for long periods of time.
Eating well and moving around is enough. There's really no point in building a Lot of muscle for longevity. You Just need to keep your muscles. Eating like Crazy and stressing your body with heavy workouts might not be ideal for everyone. The problem happens when your digestion is bad or you don't eat and when you don't even walk around.a Lot of old people have terrible digestion and that's why they have sarcopenia. They Will Just kill themselves If they lift heavy Weights when they can't even digest food. Lifting Weights Will Never build muscles when you can't digest food or sleep.
My mom was physically inactive and smoked 2 packs a day , she got lung cancer and died at 51 , she loved life more than anyone else in the family , weddings , birthdays , hanging out with friends and her life was cut almost in half by her unhealthy habits , my brother just had a kid and my nephew will never meet his grandmother . I miss her every day but she is a big inspiration to make different choices.
Started lifting again at 58 and have been at it for a year and a half. The Dr took me off type 2 diabetes meds. I noticed that women give me a second look again after not seeing that for a few years.
Love love Doctor Mike all the way from Kenya, East Africa. He speaks my language and is one of the reasons I'm committed to my weight lifting routine. Aaaaw and I love my body. Its big and strong and I feel amazing as a woman in my 40s
Dang Gabriella this is my first time running across you on YT and this is the best interview with Mike I’ve seen yet. Awesome questions and it's obvious you’ve prepared. This is great!
@@DontStandForNothing I'd change my attitude about 'the ad spikes' - then, ' cause spending your time & energy complaining 😫 (while simultaneously driving up your cortisol levels) - is not gonna change a thing.😊
40 years of lifting as one of those middle aged white women started at age 14 form is so important before weight just like Dr Mike says ! great information
This was one of the best interviews of Dr. Mike Israetel that I have listened to. Dr. Lyon you had fantastic, targeted questions that brought out the best in Mike. As someone that has been an athlete, my whole life but struggled with weight as well and recently lost 50+lbs and gained muscle, I am passionate about sharing my experience with others and about the longevity effects of having more muscle. Being lean and having muscle especially post 50 years old is a GameChanger💪
I very much appreciated Dr. Mike’s take in this interview. I know I do some of my workouts “wrong” because I’ll start with boxing, which is very much cardio, and then do weights. And I KNOW I’m not performing as good on the weights as I could be, but goddamit, it’s what gets me to put on my workout gear. Consistency is worth more than anything. My lifts could be more effective if I did them at a different time but then it won’t happen. So, thanks for letting me know that it not only ok, but good for me. I knew it, but it’s nice to hear someone say it.
Still watching the episode, about half way through and it is already one of the best episodes by Dr Lyon. Dr Mike is such a legend! He is an amazing story teller with great sense of humor
I felt amazing in my 40s and was very active. Now in my 50s I can feel myself aging and I have to fight so much harder to move and retain my mobility. But the alternative is not acceptable, I have to keep moving. It's really hard sometimes so I appreciate Dr Mike giving his point of view and encouragement and reminding me it's my responsibility and no BS. Thank you Dr Gabrielle Lyon xx
Hearing people talk about starting to lift when they’re 40 to 60 makes me feel I’m not too late to the game. And the talk about functionality in the 60-80 range motivates me to prioritize hypertrophy training so that I can be that “oh you look 45” when I’m 67. Thank you Dr. Mike for explaining things in layman term, this really helps me prioritize resistance training, even though I liked other forms of activities. And eat protein!
Dr. Gabrielle, been watching/following you since you were on impact theory 4 years ago. I have also started following Mike Istratel recently and this is by far the most enjoyable podcast i have seen from your channel. Appreciate what you do!
Really well conducted podcast, both of you being inquisitive and informative, I have been a fan of Dr Mike for a while but Dr Lyon the way you conducted it so well, you just got a new subscriber
Damn I was never expecting this union to happen ! Fantastic chats and more tidbit trivias. Love it. Petition to have Layne Norton next!! ( I'm actually stunned it hasn't happened yet...)
Family reunions - my Aunts 100th birthday brought everybody; an inspiration! With 40 people over 4 generations, only one obese. The rest, wow. 3 great grandkids 18-25, male 17'+ poll vaulter. 2 ladies, one an All American swimmer at Florida, the other had run a marathon 2 weeks earlier within 2 minutes of the American record. Helps to have great genes. The 100 year old aunt took up piano after age 80 and now gives recitals at here retirement home and she Looks good for 10 to 20 more years. Me, started weight training August 2023, now doing 225x3 bench at 186 lb body weight; just trying to keep up with the in laws lol. You and Dr Mike are a great team!
Good show. I started strength training at age 63. I do calesthenics - pull-ups, chin-ups, push ups, tricep extensions etc. It has been an incredible experience. At age 67 I have a chin-up PR of 43 and a goal of 50 by Labor Day. Yes, that is a LOT at any age! I started with enough strength to do 5 chin-ups and terrible form but I stuck to it and added more exercises as my strength improved. I can safely say that I look better and possibly younger at 67 than I did at 47. I was a runner and cyclist when younger so I am no stranger to fitness. I just had no idea how much strength training mattered to overall health until relatively recently. I look forward to my time at the calesthenics park every day. Best part of my day!
My partner and I are 54 and we very much care about how we look. We both train several times a week and I have no issue keeping up with the young people in my gyms, but I've been doing this since 17. I am more passionate about training now than my younger years. My passion for everything physical gets stronger as I get older. Blood work, stress tests, etc are stellar. He often says your blood work looks like that of a 30 year old. Make it a lifestyle and you'll be fine. My passion for the physical gets more passionate per year. Everything in our relationship gets more physical. It's important to keep moving forward.
58 years old, old paramedic and personal trainer. I started reading bodybuilding mags in the early 80s. Learned alot, but following Dr. M and his buddies, including Dr. G, Dr Wolf, Dr Pak, and so on... Man, the amount of knowledge available these days. Was weird seeing Dr. M acting "like" an adult.
First video I've ever watched of Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and I think she's so beautiful. I hope that when i get older, I can stay healthy and age as graceful as her.
Yehhhhhh totally loved this 🙏 Thanks so much Dr Gabrielle and Dr Mike . Hadn’t heard of Dr Mike before so will be following frim now ! I am 64 and weight train 4 x per week . Thanks for great info ! 🙏
Dr. Mike reminds me of Dr.Neil Degrasse Tyson. They have a many things in common. They speak immaculately with very high intelligence. They both express humbleness naturally. They have a good sense of humour. They both show a good efforts of teaching. A difference you can see is Dr. Mike publishes apps while Dr. Neil publishes books.
10:00 I was born with a deformation called pectus carinatum with slight scoliosis and started getting severe chronic chest/back/spine pain and bad circulation in my left side since as early as 5th grade. It makes strength training and life in general extra difficult, so I learned this lesson really early on in life. As depressing as it feels to know I’m gonna age poorly regardless of what I do, it’s been somewhat of a blessing to gain such an appreciation for bodily autonomy that most other people my age take for granted. Most people only begin to appreciate their physical abilities after they get some kind of injury in their 30s or 40s. I was essentially born prone to injury so I’m well aware of how things can break down quickly if you don’t take action while you still can. It’s really easy to feel like a victim after suffering everyday for most of my life but I’ve really been trying to be grateful for what I have because everything could be so much worse.
I have 2/week sprinting and plyometrics along with my strength program. I have to say sprinting was the most impactful intervention I added, ever. The metabolic adaptations are incredible. Start slow, mobility and rest are all primary when starting. I started 4 years ago as a heavier, nonathletic lifter and still going now As sprint coaches preach-"with sprints-less is more". Fast over 40 by CM Monteleone is a great book for sprint noobs
@@barbarafairbanks4578 Actually I have a video on my channel covering just that. I started with the zero drop ,barefoot style shoes for sprinting. The spongy running shoes with a positive heel raise are not good. TYR Dropzero barefoot trainer are the best IMHO; the have a nice wide toebox and a very natural fit and sole. I would start my shoe research in that area. All my runs are on a soccer field so eventually I eventually switched to spikes-but thats a whole other story lol.
I'm 35 now, and I have been weight training most of my adult life. One thing I noticed over a long period of time, is the people who have been weight training for a while always age well. You get used to the same faces at the Gym, and the people who weight train compared to the people who do the Treadmill or other Cardio Machines then leave.. there's a huge difference in how they age over a decade plus worth of time. The people weight training even though most of the ones I recognize I know must be nearing their 40s look like late 20ish where as the cardio people in the same age group just look terrible, like they haven't even really been working out at all.. it's shocking to notice this over a long period of time. There really is something to Skeletal Muscle and aging.
I often notice that in terms of conditioning. Like the cardio only people will usually have great cardiovascular endurance, and they won't be overweight in terms of BMI, but over time they become increasingly "skinny fat". In other words they have low muscle mass with higher bodyfat distribution, so over time a larger and larger percentage of their body mass is just fat. I assume this is connected to hormonal changes with age causing muscle deterioration, whereas in the people who do resistance training that process is slowed down somewhat. I've known a few guys like that over the years and I get the impression that a big part of why many of them don't do resistance training is just because it feels too much like starting over from scratch. It's an ego thing. They've been training one way for decades, and at some point or another they've made a lot of progress doing it. So having to go from that position to struggling to bench 50kg is not an attractive proposition to them, even though it is clearly beneficial. I can't really say anything about aging well myself though, I'm 33 and male pattern baldness took me out. I look pretty good from the neck down if that counts lol.
Aside from just looking flabby, lack of muscle mass can indirectly cause inflammation through insulin resistance. Also a lot of the people doing cardio at the gym just seem to be trying to mitigate an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle. (Granted gym-bro lifters are often unhealthy for their own reasons.). People who are health conscious follow a well rounded training routine, because they know that’s best for overall health.
@@FreedomFox1 The older generation of Lifters before the Gym Bro Culture came around with Social Media look great whenever I see them and I go to several locations. It's the young crowd that think making themselves infertile on GEAR and don't even yet have the basics of training down such as Mind Muscle Connection and full range of motion while in control to tear your fibers better.. they don't look good either. My observation simply is the people who are training correctly and consistently with weights over a long period of time look exceptional for their age, women too. I saw an old friend of mine the other day shes almost 40.. looks 25.. amazing.
Hi Dr Lyon, I love your content, I was wondering if you can discuss how to prevent injuries and how to workout while healing from an injury..I already did physical therapy but it still hurts and it’s limiting my workouts and volume and weight that I use, I’m sure there are other people who are in the same boat, I hope you can cover this topic in the future, thank you
I'm 38 and can still do a string of backflips no problem. So getting out of bed at 430am is effortless. Because of my martial arts training every function that the average person struggles with is simple to me.
You can be well educated on the proponderance of scientific evidence and not follow it. Most adults understand alcohol is bad for you and still choose to drink.
@@jammRJ I hope that I am misunderstanding you. Are you saying that Mike doesn't relay reliable information on strength and muscle building as a hypertrophy expert? If so, could you tell me what point he made in the video that you considered bad?
Anyone who listened to Dr. Mike on his show knows full well how many times he was dying to be WILDLY inappropriate here, yet managed to hold back and present as an adult. You are an inspiration to so many of us and we applaud you for this exceptional display of self control sir! 🤣🤣🤣 #neverchange

Lmao, real
He's gotten better, which is good. It was getting out of hand for a bit there.

Same. He is very smart, just like Hormozi.
Same here! He will never escape...
Don’t forget to eat only cheerios and Gatorade and abuse steroids like Mike. Super optimal science based bodybuilding brah.

Everything in our relationship gets more physical. It's important to keep moving forward.
"Charts are all make believe." - best quote of the show! COMPARISON IS THE FUCKING THEFT OF JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!! 💪💪💖💖
Dr Mike holding back more than last time
I wish my mom
Would watch this! And her doctors! And the professors at the university educating those doctors! ❤
dr. mike is the man!!! excellent interview.. need more of this collaboration.
Gabrielle Lyon will never hit the wall
58 years old, old paramedic and personal trainer. I started reading bodybuilding mags in the early 80s. Learned alot, but following Dr. M and his buddies, including Dr. G, Dr Wolf, Dr Pak, and so on... Man, the amount of knowledge available these days.
Was weird seeing Dr. M acting "like" an adult.
Beautiful Dr., she is great too❤️
First video I've ever watched of Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and I think she's so beautiful. I hope that when i get older, I can stay healthy and age as graceful as her.
Yehhhhhh totally loved this 🙏 Thanks so much Dr Gabrielle and Dr Mike . Hadn’t heard of Dr Mike before so will be following frim now ! I am 64 and weight train 4 x per week . Thanks for great info ! 🙏
Dr. Mike reminds me of Dr.Neil Degrasse Tyson. They have a many things in common. They speak immaculately with very high intelligence. They both express humbleness naturally. They have a good sense of humour. They both show a good efforts of teaching. A difference you can see is Dr. Mike publishes apps while Dr. Neil publishes books.
Like you Mike puts things in terms we can all understand. Great communicators and inspiring.
10:00 I was born with a deformation called pectus carinatum with slight scoliosis and started getting severe chronic chest/back/spine pain and bad circulation in my left side since as early as 5th grade. It makes strength training and life in general extra difficult, so I learned this lesson really early on in life. As depressing as it feels to know I’m gonna age poorly regardless of what I do, it’s been somewhat of a blessing to gain such an appreciation for bodily autonomy that most other people my age take for granted. Most people only begin to appreciate their physical abilities after they get some kind of injury in their 30s or 40s. I was essentially born prone to injury so I’m well aware of how things can break down quickly if you don’t take action while you still can. It’s really easy to feel like a victim after suffering everyday for most of my life but I’ve really been trying to be grateful for what I have because everything could be so much worse.
Won’t lie. Clicked for the looks. Then stayed for the intelligence.
Outstanding podcast. When Dr. Mike and Dr. Lyon get together, you learn some facts!
An interview with Dr Mike that isn't just "two bros hanging out"? Fascinating.
Mike is a really knowledgeable and funny guy. Great advice and information. Thanks to both of you. I appreciate you both.
I see Dr Mike, I click, like, and comment. Love the TH-cam saturation of the man right now.
Muscle is THE organ of longevity! LOVE this!
Best duo ever. Please do more with Dr Mike!
First Andy galpin and now mike israetel? let's goo
Weird to see Dr Mike wearing a GBRS shirt. That would be a fun collaboration.
Two of my favorites what a great show and I’m not even all the way through it! It’s so rich with puns and sarcasm, but the education is over the top
I love Dr Lyon’s outfit ❤. Dr Mike is a favorite TH-cam channel of mine.❤
0:42 that top is awesome. Has evil sorceress vibes.
Two great champions for all things Protein & Muscle, this should be good!
I have 2/week sprinting and plyometrics along with my strength program. I have to say sprinting was the most impactful intervention I added, ever. The metabolic adaptations are incredible. Start slow, mobility and rest are all primary when starting. I started 4 years ago as a heavier, nonathletic lifter and still going now As sprint coaches preach-"with sprints-less is more". Fast over 40 by CM Monteleone is a great book for sprint noobs
@IslanderATP
Thanks for the book recommendation😊
Are there any recommendations in the book for best shoe selection for run sprinting?
@@barbarafairbanks4578 Actually I have a video on my channel covering just that. I started with the zero drop ,barefoot style shoes for sprinting. The spongy running shoes with a positive heel raise are not good. TYR Dropzero barefoot trainer are the best IMHO; the have a nice wide toebox and a very natural fit and sole. I would start my shoe research in that area. All my runs are on a soccer field so eventually I eventually switched to spikes-but thats a whole other story lol.
I can’t put my bag in the overhead compartment bc I’m too short hahaha 😂 vertically challenged
Then there’s me bumping my head on chandeliers
@@pricklycatsss haha!
same!
Same and I'm a dude. Real short kings round down.
Do squats until your legs are strong enough jump up and put it in with ease 🤣
My two favorite muscle experts together?? Nice!!
I'm 35 now, and I have been weight training most of my adult life. One thing I noticed over a long period of time, is the people who have been weight training for a while always age well. You get used to the same faces at the Gym, and the people who weight train compared to the people who do the Treadmill or other Cardio Machines then leave.. there's a huge difference in how they age over a decade plus worth of time. The people weight training even though most of the ones I recognize I know must be nearing their 40s look like late 20ish where as the cardio people in the same age group just look terrible, like they haven't even really been working out at all.. it's shocking to notice this over a long period of time. There really is something to Skeletal Muscle and aging.
I often notice that in terms of conditioning. Like the cardio only people will usually have great cardiovascular endurance, and they won't be overweight in terms of BMI, but over time they become increasingly "skinny fat". In other words they have low muscle mass with higher bodyfat distribution, so over time a larger and larger percentage of their body mass is just fat. I assume this is connected to hormonal changes with age causing muscle deterioration, whereas in the people who do resistance training that process is slowed down somewhat.
I've known a few guys like that over the years and I get the impression that a big part of why many of them don't do resistance training is just because it feels too much like starting over from scratch. It's an ego thing. They've been training one way for decades, and at some point or another they've made a lot of progress doing it. So having to go from that position to struggling to bench 50kg is not an attractive proposition to them, even though it is clearly beneficial.
I can't really say anything about aging well myself though, I'm 33 and male pattern baldness took me out. I look pretty good from the neck down if that counts lol.
Aside from just looking flabby, lack of muscle mass can indirectly cause inflammation through insulin resistance. Also a lot of the people doing cardio at the gym just seem to be trying to mitigate an otherwise unhealthy lifestyle. (Granted gym-bro lifters are often unhealthy for their own reasons.). People who are health conscious follow a well rounded training routine, because they know that’s best for overall health.
@@FreedomFox1 The older generation of Lifters before the Gym Bro Culture came around with Social Media look great whenever I see them and I go to several locations. It's the young crowd that think making themselves infertile on GEAR and don't even yet have the basics of training down such as Mind Muscle Connection and full range of motion while in control to tear your fibers better.. they don't look good either. My observation simply is the people who are training correctly and consistently with weights over a long period of time look exceptional for their age, women too. I saw an old friend of mine the other day shes almost 40.. looks 25.. amazing.
If there's one thing i learned from this podcast, it's that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell
Absolutely.
This was a great interview I learned ex so much!
A Dr.who practices what she preaches is just ausome
Great interview. Loved all the jokes too!
I really enjoyed this podcast, it ended way too soon! Hoping for another one!
Wonderful interview! ❤
Hi Dr Lyon, I love your content, I was wondering if you can discuss how to prevent injuries and how to workout while healing from an injury..I already did physical therapy but it still hurts and it’s limiting my workouts and volume and weight that I use, I’m sure there are other people who are in the same boat, I hope you can cover this topic in the future, thank you
Just flat out great interview!
Excellent podcast episode. Very informative and entertaining.
TY!
Mike appearing everywhere lately! Love it
Hoping that Dr Lyon does a Dr Mike workout!! 🤞😀
Yesss finally! Love these 2!
Dr Mike making the rounds on some awesome podcasts lately
I love Dr Mike!!! He is as funny as he is intelligent😊
Best one yet!!! Love Dr. Mike!!🎉
This was terrific!! Love Dr. Mike.
I'm 38 and can still do a string of backflips no problem. So getting out of bed at 430am is effortless. Because of my martial arts training every function that the average person struggles with is simple to me.
Keep up your training.
You will be happy you did.
30:39

Times that gives a nice dose of Dr. Mike's inner nature.
Dr Mike you crack me up! Love your advice and of course dr lyons ❤
Love listening and learning from these two!
Dr Mike is the poster boy of burn bright . From what I understand longevity is a lot more about moderation .
You can be well educated on the proponderance of scientific evidence and not follow it. Most adults understand alcohol is bad for you and still choose to drink.
@@cwswriter yeah but good information is half the battle and you don't stand a chance without it .
@@jammRJ I hope that I am misunderstanding you. Are you saying that Mike doesn't relay reliable information on strength and muscle building as a hypertrophy expert? If so, could you tell me what point he made in the video that you considered bad?
