I am 86 yrs old male, I have never developed muscle mass as I put more emphasis on socializing, brain stimulation, and life enjoyment as priority. I have never been in a gym, What keep me alive is social dancing. I still dance 4 to 5 times a week, 2 to 3 hrs. I dance quick step, Viennese waltz, foxtrot, tango, slow waltz, rumba, cha cha, samba, salsa, bachata, west coast swing, hustle, Argentine tango. To dance all of these stimulate my brain and give some sort of physical exercise. Of course I watch my diet.

There is a lot to be said for this. They say North Americans do not really enjoy life that they live to work and maybe all these regimens are needed. I am in my 60s lift weights eat well and agree with a lot of what the doctor says but if you look at the blue zones of the world they are not all resistance training and eating tons of protein, they mainly eat well, move a lot and enjoy life well into their late 90s early 100s

I'm 75, turning 76. Leg presses 200kg for 10 plus reps, plus all the other gym exercises. I've been doing this since my early 20s. Dr. Lyon is right! 😊
I look at being strong and building muscle as a necessity. In order to keep up with daily routines, you need to be strong. In my case, I exercise 6 times a week usually 30 minutes a day, 2 upper body, 2 lower body, 2 aerobic. I use hand weights. Sugar is a thing of the past. Feel so amazing! BTW, I'm 72.

It’s hard to hear how this 1 (or 2) things (working out with weights or ‘going to the gym’) is the way to longevity for EVERYONE. There seams to be some important background wisdom missing before we start to consider if ‘heavy lifting’ is needed or not.

It is not for longivity -- but for better life to enjoy -- at age 80 or 88 -- without a wheel chair, waljer or help from other people. Maintaining good muscles is important.
Totally disagree w/ Dr Lyon’s suggested approach to isolation muscle group exercises. Look to the healthiest elderly athletes, with great strength, great power, clear minds, and long life. Life long martial artists. Many of the practitioners are in their 80s and 90s. They do not have much noticeable muscle mass, but they have great power. They are very flexible. Great memory. Great endurance. Little to no known disease. “Exercise” is a by product of the whole body and mind training, with little to no isolation training, and almost in total body incorporation. These masters also know that one adjusts what they are doing and how they are doing through their life and aging. These movements are probably more closely resembling ground based whole body movement/exercises, minus the learning of martial arts education and application. All of this is also utilizing brain-body connection throughout their lives. Using mechanical tools in gyms never replicate the natural movements that the human body is designed for.
THANK YOU!!! I've been saying this to everyone i know, I knew this was the difference in why people look the way they do at a certain age, even if they are not overweight. THANK YOU!!
About end 2011/2012 , I did deliveries for shop that were closing down . For about 3 weeks , I was finished with the deliveries at 12:00 noon and then , I watched TV . Because the less work ( and little bit excersise with the work) , I felt horrible and realised it was because of the 4 weeks watching TV every day after 12:00 . I moved home , and help with the goats.Then it got better
You can live into your 80's or 90's with little muscle but will have metabolic issues! A muscular frame, good diet, and daily exercise will also get you that far, but you will be mobile and healthy!
Thank you for this info. I’ve been “skinny fat” for 30 years and I have just started lifting in my mid 50s. I’m encouraged by the “it’s not too late” message. It’s more motivating to be consistent in the weight training knowing that building and maintaining muscle has so many more positive impacts.
23 years in business and I work every single muscle in the body specifically to age while and be super strong. No one gets injured and it is super effective and efficient where no time is wasted. They get results fast and strength builds rather quickly, but I always start them where they are at in their health and strength. I work with only with machines and weights only I do none of that other Boot Camp stuff but more importantly, I teach them how to feed those muscles and how to use nutrients to get the fan off reduce inflammation heal the gut, and feed those muscles and brain. It’s pretty much of an all inclusive course that I offer. Thanks for this great conversation. She’s great! I’m 59 years old and I don’t think I can ever possibly quit sharing my knowledge with people. I want to work out with you guys!
Great point about yoga. It was doing so much for me that I stopped all my other cardio training and thought I was fine. Became insulin resistant so now back to 3x/w weights, running, cycling
I had a great personal trainers in my 40's whose aim was to get women to build strength. She always emphasized how few women over 50 were capable of carrying 2 bags of sugar. At the time I thought that was extreme but with most people using trolleys from the store to their car or even worse having home delivery i can now see how that would happen.
At minute 21:15, the question is asked, "why do people train with less intensity as they get older". I've spent many years in the gym and have a chronological age of 74. This question is easy to answer. Low levels of sex hormones and/or thyroid hormones. On the upside, vanity plays a big part in this situation too! And no, for the most part, you do not need exogenous hormone therapy. Just intent, focus and consistency. Never discount the power of the mind.
Actually.... it's aging, which is LESS MITOCHONDRIA, which means less cellular energy... 🤷♂️ The good news: More exercise CREATES more MITOCHONDRIA. 😉👍👍
Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not. Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down.. Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults. Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor. The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.
Be 65 next year, started lifting weights @ age 15, never stopped working out, until 2020, not because of Covid, because of Over hormoned Stage 4 Cancer, after 2 years of not be able to workout, amazing how much strength I lost, 1st time I ever quit working out in my life. 9/2022 - able to start again at gym, still work 40 hrs.,/week, still doing my Cancer protocols. Today, strength is back , Almost 65 years young, 220lbs, with my Cancer, there is no reason of "Why not" in life. 💪💯🇺🇲
Dr Gabrielle, I believe for your clients 58 -63 - 68 then 68-73 - within 5 yrs Ask regular athletes what they need to do to be more intense during age 58-63 & beyond . What did they do in their younger years? What happens as a women from 58-63? What exercise to do that doesn’t HURT as much ? A full body functional exercise prescription? Not an elite athlete, not an Olympian - Not a you tube influencer. Every day people do g every day movement to have more strength & help our health in anti obesity . Food 90% & daily movement & LIFTING. This is fantastic information Need to tell every child n parent begins g 2 yrs old!
This is such a big and important methodology for longevity. Thank you very much for presenting this information, and educating us, Dr Lyon and Dr Hyman!
35:26. When Dr. Lyon said, “what does someone do whose never worked out and when they feel they’ve missed their prime” and then Dr. Hyman completely sidetracked her into a different topic 😮?? I was really wanting to know what she was going to say!!!!!
I totally agree with this doctor, Dr Mark Hyman is excellent explaining these medical issues in a way that anyone can understand the subject explained. He is translating what she is trying to explain, very interesting. Would like to talk to Dr Hyman about some health issues that concerned me.
Good episode. Dr Lyon doesn't look old for her age exactly, but I think she's had some work done. Tony from The Enhanced Man is the same age but looks significantly younger, maybe get him on next.
Recently diagnosed with stage 3 adrenal fatigue so I had to stop lifting until I heal. So does muscle memory apply to this? At my age am I still goin to be able to regain what I lost? Or can creatine help with preventing loss?
Muscle has memory so when you’re back at it, it won’t take you long to get to where you want to be. Take it easy though ! If you eat whole natural foods primarily, consider adding an electrolyte powder each day to make sure your body has enough sodium
No disrespect, but I understood many years ago that skeletal muscle is an organ, not only responsible for mobility, but also necessary for myriad other processes in the body. For that matter, bone is another organ in the body as it produces red blood cells for starters. Fascia is another organ system. I understood many years ago that the fat storage system is in organ responsible for fuel exchanges, insulation, etc. I'm a retired emergency registered nurse. During my "Tour of Duty" I taught myself things that I never learned in University. For instance, I taught myself how to identify lung cancer by using my nose. There is a particular smell in the breath of somebody with lung cancer. Virtually every doctor that I worked with did not use their noses to identify pathologies. These are things that I taught myself over my many years in the trade. I could identify if somebody was suffering from an E coli infection just by walking in the room and breathing in. There's a particular scent a person in hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome posesses. There is also a particular feel of the skin. I learned to ask patients where they felt the stimulus for their coughs. If they said lungs, that was one thing. If they said they felt it in their throat, that was another. These questions were never asked by the doctors. Think that the only way to identify bacterial meningitis is with a lumbar puncture and assessment of neck muscles and a few other common assessments? Hardly! I won't get into it because it's rather complex, but there's a particular type of muscular tremor that I found classic to people suffering from bacterial meningitis. I taught myself these things and more. I graduated top of my class as a student nurse, graduating with a 4.0 GPA, and yet I knew even back then that there was so much more that wasn't being taught and that I had to teach myself outside of the box. Many shamans possessed these abilities. Ask a very experienced baker when they know that the yeasted dough is ready to be baked. They can feel it with their hands, and see it with their eyes. Understanding the limitations of Western medicine, one can surmise early on that fat is an organ storage system. Learning to think outside of the box is important in any endeavor. Sadly, most doctors learn how NOT to think for themselves. For instance, statins are still being widely prescribed for this reason. Non thinking doctors are not seeing the information right in front of them. A person who is metabolically stable possesses a particular generalized scent. A metabolically unstable person possesses another. Blood work simply confirmed what I already knew. I do believe that a lot of healthcare workers within fundamental medicine would clearly understand what I am talking about.
You could say something like this: Very interesting, subject, But I found it difficult to follow… It made me realize that being knowledgeable is one thing, but being able to teach that knowledge is a different skill entirely. I wish she would have used language, that the average person could understand, since she wasn’t speaking to a medical audience.
My thoughts exactly. They certainly lack the communication skills to convey the data to the interested average person. I would buy the book but fear it would be over my head. There is an opportunity for a 3rd party to break it down in more simple terms.
What modifications can be done for elderly who have significant bone issues, such in back, hips or knees, that still can increase muscle without aggeavating their preexisting deficit? Is that in her book? What are resources for these people? Any benefit to those chair exercise groups?
I have seen this in my parents. My mom was very sedentary. My dad was always doing physical work. Mom passed at 46. Dad lived to 89. There were other things that came into play. Diseases, etc. but I honestly feel like if my mom had gotten off the easy chair to actually just walk, she would have lived longer. Dad would have lived to 100, except he aquired (hereditary) congestive heart disease.
My mom is extremely sedentary and still alive and healthy at 89, my dad was an avid runner, lifted weights and kept active but died 2 years ago from COVID..
I have CRPS in my hands and wrists. So no push-ups. Lower grip strength etc. But I would love to find a trainer that works with disabilities. Is there a group for that?
When I work out, there are a bunch of geezers. Nine out of ten simple don't work very hard - not nearly as hard as they could. It's like they're interested in saying they go to the gym but aren't really willing to work. I'm not sure if they feel entitled to take it easy or if they are simply unfamiliar with how to work out. Maybe it's something else, but it is striking.
That's a possibility but they also may have a medical condition that prevents them from working hard. There's no way to know. I have autoimmune issues that cause vertigo. When I feel well, I work hard, when I don't feel well, I don't work that hard but exercise is needed for circulation.
I hope u will consider my question... Other than light exercise during the week, I weight lift 4 solid hrs, 1 day a week. R u saying that will really diminish my workout benefits because I'm only weight lifting 1 day a week? I do medium weight and high reps due to injuries. I always exercise till failure, and I honestly increase by 5 reps every week. But, I'm only using 25 lbs at present for each arm and 110 lbs for legs, and as I increase by 5 reps every week, and reach 80 reps with arms, I have to increase the weight by 2 1/2 lbs, each arm, approx once a month. Then my reps drop way down and I work my way back up to 80 reps again, etc, etc. R u saying I should break up this workout into 2 or 3 days a week for better health benefits? Definitely appreciate ur info, always watched u on PBS. Thank u. 👍
Over exercising is worse than not exercising in terms of mortality, the point is finding the sweet spot. Depending on your workout once or twice a week is probably most optimal. There was a new study that daily weight lifting is detrimental than beneficial, gotta look it up.
Excellent start. Excellent effort. Good for you. One example that has been suggested by a very good trainer… Do 30 -40 hours 3 days per week. Every other day. You will get recovery time which is very important. And make sure you get a decent night’s sleep every night. Watch what happens over a period of 6-8 weeks. .. Listening to Dr. Gabrielle Lions regularly will give you plenty of good information.
Dr Gabrielle, you saying that you are the muscel expert. why you affect you muscle/skin with a tattoo? what are you teaching for your audiance? Hope you reply to me. I enjoyed your insight
Dr Lyon…just need to clarify the AAU (Amino Acid Utilisation) for protein dense food so as an expert do you suggest and recommend to include Perfect Aminos Tabs since it claims to bypass digestion and is absorbed within 22 mins with 99% AAU? Thanks..Stage 4b Terminal Cancer Survivor trying to regain muscle loss due to treatments and surgeries!!
Hello, I don't know your age but check with your Health insurance. Some have as benefits Silver Sneakers, Silver Fit. Planet Fitness $15per month. Good Luck check around.
Processed food manufacturers need to hear from consumers that less ADDED chemicals, sugar, oil and salt is wanted in their food products. Why is there so much ADDED sugar in everything, even bread. That's just crazy Email, text, tweet or phone your favorite producer of poison and let them know consumers want less salt, oils and sugars in their products. Let their customer service department know that all the extra added salt, oil and sugar is not necessary or desired and is causing health issues. Reduce or eliminate highly processed food from your diet if you can.
Yes, me too at 62 . And I use to be healthy, played every sport and never sat!! I cleaned 2 houses a day, washed all the family cars(4) and did all my own yard work… then polymyositis hit, took away all my muscle. Now I can barely lift my arms above my head and can’t get out of a chair, I’m so frustrated now 😢 but trying to just move forward with this stiff non moving lifestyle and resting a lot.
Most people who have been training hard with weights in their youth would still continue to train as hard as they age if pain from injuries and degeneration from loss of cartilage didn’t occur. The loss of testosterone coupled with these issues plays a critical role in losing muscle mass for a vast majority of trainers.
This attention was left up to the massage therapists and body workers. Muscles are the orphans of the body. No one thought that it was worth the money to invest in research before. We therapists know it’s where to start sometimes.
If you eat 50 grams of 'complete' protein, up to 30% can be lost in conversion to the amino acid profile. So that 50 grams can be as little as 35 grams. Surely it would be best to factor that in and eat more protein, not 50 grams but 65 grams. That way, you buffer the conversion by eating 65 grams and hopefully end up with a net of 50 grams. * Look up Tony from I AM LONGEVITY. He seems to have this... subject licked to prefection.
Good info yet, I’m not a fan of the gym and I’m very healthy at BMI 18.5 and 17.5% body fat. Blue Zones people don’t use the gym or trainers. My diet is clean and I exercise outdoors.

About end 2011/2012 , I did deliveries for shop that were closing down . For about 3 weeks , I was finished with
the deliveries at 12:00 noon and then , I watched TV . Because the less work ( and little bit excersise with the work) , I felt horrible and realised it was because of the 4 weeks watching TV every day after 12:00 . I moved home , and help with the goats.Then it got better
Yes! Mark, thank you for explaining everything so well for alot of us that dont understand much.
Quality muscle and muscle mass
You can live into your 80's or 90's with little muscle but will have metabolic issues! A muscular frame, good diet, and daily exercise will also get you that far, but you will be mobile and healthy!
Thank you for this info. I’ve been “skinny fat” for 30 years and I have just started lifting in my mid 50s. I’m encouraged by the “it’s not too late” message. It’s more motivating to be consistent in the weight training knowing that building and maintaining muscle has so many more positive impacts.
23 years in business and I work every single muscle in the body specifically to age while and be super strong. No one gets injured and it is super effective and efficient where no time is wasted. They get results fast and strength builds rather quickly, but I always start them where they are at in their health and strength.
I work with only with machines and weights only I do none of that other Boot Camp stuff but more importantly, I teach them how to feed those muscles and how to use nutrients to get the fan off reduce inflammation heal the gut, and feed those muscles and brain. It’s pretty much of an all inclusive course that I offer. Thanks for this great conversation. She’s great! I’m 59 years old and I don’t think I can ever possibly quit sharing my knowledge with people. I want to work out with you guys!
Great point about yoga. It was doing so much for me that I stopped all my other cardio training and thought I was fine. Became insulin resistant so now back to 3x/w weights, running, cycling
What time stamp do they discuss this at?
I had a great personal trainers in my 40's whose aim was to get women to build strength. She always emphasized how few women over 50 were capable of carrying 2 bags of sugar. At the time I thought that was extreme but with most people using trolleys from the store to their car or even worse having home delivery i can now see how that would happen.
Exactly! 👍 😃
Yes!!! The Goddess is back!!! Dr Lyons is the best!!😊
42 yr old mom of three boys ages 6, 4, and 3! I did a 210 lb back squat last week!! CrossFit fit the past 10 years!!
At minute 21:15, the question is asked, "why do people train with less intensity as they get older". I've spent many years in the gym and have a chronological age of 74. This question is easy to answer. Low levels of sex hormones and/or thyroid hormones.
On the upside, vanity plays a big part in this situation too! And no, for the most part, you do not need exogenous hormone therapy. Just intent, focus and consistency. Never discount the power of the mind.
Actually.... it's aging, which is LESS MITOCHONDRIA, which means less cellular energy... 🤷♂️
The good news: More exercise CREATES more MITOCHONDRIA. 😉👍👍
What a goofy response. You've heard or read one thing, and now you know the real truth. @@omvilla7469
Alright. Time to read the book.
Squats, pushups, pull ups, planks, are “functional” exercises that are involved in everyday movements.
Most elderly people have problems getting up off the floor. As a child you spend a lot of time on the floor, adults do not.
Doing yoga / stretching exercises on the floor can improve balance, mobility, flexibility and the ability to get up and down..
Just getting up and down to the floor in a controlled manner is difficult for many older adults.
Play with your children on the floor. Bend over, get down and pull weeds in your garden. Play with a pet on the floor.
The more effort you make to work on balance and flexibility will pay dividends as you age.
True! Not only elderly people! I know of a woman who was in her 40’s that couldn’t sit cross legged
Be 65 next year, started lifting weights @ age 15, never stopped working out, until 2020, not because of Covid, because of Over hormoned Stage 4 Cancer, after 2 years of not be able to workout, amazing how much strength I lost, 1st time I ever quit working out in my life. 9/2022 - able to start again at gym, still work 40 hrs.,/week, still doing my Cancer protocols.
Today, strength is back , Almost 65 years young, 220lbs, with my Cancer, there is no reason of "Why not" in life. 💪💯🇺🇲
Dr Gabrielle,
I believe for your clients 58 -63 - 68 then 68-73 - within 5 yrs Ask regular athletes what they need to do to be more intense during age 58-63 & beyond .
What did they do in their younger years?
What happens as a women from 58-63?
What exercise to do that doesn’t HURT as much ? A full body functional exercise prescription?
Not an elite athlete, not an Olympian - Not a you tube influencer.
Every day people do g every day movement to have more strength & help our health in anti obesity . Food 90% & daily movement & LIFTING.
This is fantastic information
Need to tell every child n parent begins g 2 yrs old!
This is such a big and important methodology for longevity. Thank you very much for presenting this information, and educating us, Dr Lyon and Dr Hyman!
Excellent Podcast! U2 have a great chemistry together!
Just subscribed . Thank you both!!!
35:26. When Dr. Lyon said, “what does someone do whose never worked out and when they feel they’ve missed their prime” and then Dr. Hyman completely sidetracked her into a different topic 😮?? I was really wanting to know what she was going to say!!!!!
I totally agree with this doctor, Dr Mark Hyman is excellent explaining these medical issues in a way that anyone can understand the subject explained. He is translating what she is trying to explain, very interesting. Would like to talk to Dr Hyman about some health issues that concerned me.
Dr Lyon or Dr Hyman- Please discuss the impact of WBV whole body vibration on everything discussed in this podcast?
Great subject. Haven’t heard anyone else talk about it
Is there any way to improve sensitivity to protein as we age or are we just stuck eating more?
I am so impressed by all the comments from the 60-plus community! Makes me feel so hopeful ❤
Thank you Mark for keeping the information easier to apply. She was way too technical for the lay person.
great guest. thank you for posting.
Love both of you! Thanks! 💪🙌
Are there high ground activities that can be safely done by someone with knee osteoarthritis?
Good episode. Dr Lyon doesn't look old for her age exactly, but I think she's had some work done. Tony from The Enhanced Man is the same age but looks significantly younger, maybe get him on next.
Recently diagnosed with stage 3 adrenal fatigue so I had to stop lifting until I heal. So does muscle memory apply to this? At my age am I still goin to be able to regain what I lost? Or can creatine help with preventing loss?
Muscle has memory so when you’re back at it, it won’t take you long to get to where you want to be. Take it easy though ! If you eat whole natural foods primarily, consider adding an electrolyte powder each day to make sure your body has enough sodium
Dr. Berg has discussed creatine for keeping muscle.
No disrespect, but I understood many years ago that skeletal muscle is an organ, not only responsible for mobility, but also necessary for myriad other processes in the body. For that matter, bone is another organ in the body as it produces red blood cells for starters. Fascia is another organ system. I understood many years ago that the fat storage system is in organ responsible for fuel exchanges, insulation, etc.
I'm a retired emergency registered nurse. During my "Tour of Duty" I taught myself things that I never learned in University. For instance, I taught myself how to identify lung cancer by using my nose. There is a particular smell in the breath of somebody with lung cancer. Virtually every doctor that I worked with did not use their noses to identify pathologies. These are things that I taught myself over my many years in the trade. I could identify if somebody was suffering from an E coli infection just by walking in the room and breathing in. There's a particular scent a person in hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome posesses. There is also a particular feel of the skin.
I learned to ask patients where they felt the stimulus for their coughs. If they said lungs, that was one thing. If they said they felt it in their throat, that was another. These questions were never asked by the doctors. Think that the only way to identify bacterial meningitis is with a lumbar puncture and assessment of neck muscles and a few other common assessments? Hardly! I won't get into it because it's rather complex, but there's a particular type of muscular tremor that I found classic to people suffering from bacterial meningitis. I taught myself these things and more. I graduated top of my class as a student nurse, graduating with a 4.0 GPA, and yet I knew even back then that there was so much more that wasn't being taught and that I had to teach myself outside of the box. Many shamans possessed these abilities. Ask a very experienced baker when they know that the yeasted dough is ready to be baked. They can feel it with their hands, and see it with their eyes.
Understanding the limitations of Western medicine, one can surmise early on that fat is an organ storage system. Learning to think outside of the box is important in any endeavor. Sadly, most doctors learn how NOT to think for themselves. For instance, statins are still being widely prescribed for this reason. Non thinking doctors are not seeing the information right in front of them. A person who is metabolically stable possesses a particular generalized scent. A metabolically unstable person possesses another. Blood work simply confirmed what I already knew.
I do believe that a lot of healthcare workers within fundamental medicine would clearly understand what I am talking about.
Thank you for your humanity most couldn’t do your job or past the test lol
Wonderful explanation. And you are using the innate potential we possess
It’s all about testosterone. Started bio identical testosterone and hit 1200 on blood test. Now my muscles are popping
Radio WIFF what’s in it for me?😂 I love that❤ Great podcast, I learned so much!
You could say something like this:
Very interesting, subject, But I found it difficult to follow… It made me realize that being knowledgeable is one thing, but being able to teach that knowledge is a different skill entirely.
I wish she would have used language, that the average person could understand, since she wasn’t speaking to a medical audience.
My thoughts exactly. They certainly lack the communication skills to convey the data to the interested average person. I would buy the book but fear it would be over my head. There is an opportunity for a 3rd party to break it down in more simple terms.
What modifications can be done for elderly who have significant bone issues, such in back, hips or knees, that still can increase muscle without aggeavating their preexisting deficit? Is that in her book? What are resources for these people? Any benefit to those chair exercise groups?
Very important-start from where they are at. It’s never too late!!
Also do the reps slowly as you lift to prevent injury and stimulate more growth
She's right.. we must have interface with physical training experts and t he medical professionals assessment/help.
Cardiovascular training and strength training is the same if you do proper exercise. Get Doug McGuff on.
Thank you both for an informative video.
I have seen this in my parents. My mom was very sedentary. My dad was always doing physical work. Mom passed at 46. Dad lived to 89. There were other things that came into play. Diseases, etc. but I honestly feel like if my mom had gotten off the easy chair to actually just walk, she would have lived longer. Dad would have lived to 100, except he aquired (hereditary) congestive heart disease.
My mom is extremely sedentary and still alive and healthy at 89, my dad was an avid runner, lifted weights and kept active but died 2 years ago from COVID..
Great video. Just wondering how is that so that stress during high or intense workout is healthy? Doesn't stress age our bodies?
Not only muscle, but motor units as very critical and if we don't recruit them, we lose them and cannot get them back
Thanks, informative and fun podcast.
What do you do when you've had foot surgeries and issues with chronic pain? I try but I have alot of health issues and don't know what to do.
I have CRPS in my hands and wrists. So no push-ups. Lower grip strength etc. But I would love to find a trainer that works with disabilities. Is there a group for that?
Work on your abs, back, legs...they are most important, anyway.
Hint exercising your muscles everyday
Ive always had physically demanding jobs so I was always muscular. Now Im 61 and getting soft. Time to hit the weights I guess. Thanks for the info. 👍
When I work out, there are a bunch of geezers. Nine out of ten simple don't work very hard - not nearly as hard as they could. It's like they're interested in saying they go to the gym but aren't really willing to work. I'm not sure if they feel entitled to take it easy or if they are simply unfamiliar with how to work out. Maybe it's something else, but it is striking.
That's a possibility but they also may have a medical condition that prevents them from working hard. There's no way to know.
I have autoimmune issues that cause vertigo. When I feel well, I work hard, when I don't feel well, I don't work that hard but exercise is needed for circulation.
I always say something’s better than nothing
I think it is likely a lack of understanding
@@Jean-yn6ef Maybe. Some do work, and I guess it's better than sitting on the couch.
And what can we do with painful arthritis?
Thanks
Let’s face it, your HEART is a muscle, what happens when it’s weak or doesn’t work, you die….
I hope u will consider my question...
Other than light exercise during the week, I weight lift 4 solid hrs, 1 day a week.
R u saying that will really diminish my workout benefits because I'm only weight lifting 1 day a week?
I do medium weight and high reps due to injuries.
I always exercise till failure, and I honestly increase by 5 reps every week.
But, I'm only using 25 lbs at present for each arm and 110 lbs for legs, and as I increase by 5 reps every week, and reach 80 reps with arms, I have to increase the weight by 2 1/2 lbs, each arm, approx once a month.
Then my reps drop way down and I work my way back up to 80 reps again, etc, etc.
R u saying I should break up this workout into 2 or 3 days a week for better health benefits?
Definitely appreciate ur info, always watched u on PBS.
Thank u. 👍
Over exercising is worse than not exercising in terms of mortality, the point is finding the sweet spot. Depending on your workout once or twice a week is probably most optimal. There was a new study that daily weight lifting is detrimental than beneficial, gotta look it up.
Not to confuse, weekly weight lifting is highly beneficial, but the curve of benefits will make a turn when doing too much.
Excellent start. Excellent effort. Good for you.
One example that has been suggested by a very good trainer…
Do 30 -40 hours 3 days per week. Every other day.
You will get recovery time which is very important.
And make sure you get a decent night’s sleep every night.
Watch what happens over a period of 6-8 weeks. ..
Listening to Dr. Gabrielle Lions regularly will give you plenty of good information.
For most, two to three times weekly is optimal maybe 45mins each lifting sessions...
1 or 2 cardio session weekly
Our flesh and muscles become flabby as we age. I'm 52 and I take some push-ups to maintain muscle mass and avoid flabbiness.
Dr Gabrielle, you saying that you are the muscel expert. why you affect you muscle/skin with a tattoo? what are you teaching for your audiance? Hope you reply to me. I enjoyed your insight
Very stupid thing to say. Literally nothing to do with muscle health.
Troll or just a idiot? 🙄
Nice
Dr Lyon…just need to clarify the AAU (Amino Acid Utilisation) for protein dense food so as an expert do you suggest and recommend to include Perfect Aminos Tabs since it claims to bypass digestion and is absorbed within 22 mins with 99% AAU? Thanks..Stage 4b Terminal Cancer Survivor trying to regain muscle loss due to treatments and surgeries!!
My 2 fav people!
Is this the podcast where they talk about amino acids?
It makes you metabolically flexible
I can't afford the gym. I guess I'lll take a chance with my home stuff.
Hello, I don't know your age but check with your Health insurance. Some have as benefits Silver Sneakers, Silver Fit. Planet Fitness $15per month. Good Luck check around.

Please interview Doug Mcguff
Processed food manufacturers need to hear from consumers that less ADDED chemicals, sugar, oil and salt is wanted in their food products.
Why is there so much ADDED sugar in everything, even bread. That's just crazy
Email, text, tweet or phone your favorite producer of poison and let them know consumers want less salt, oils and sugars in their products.
Let their customer service department know that all the extra added salt, oil and sugar is not necessary or desired and is causing health issues.
Reduce or eliminate highly processed food from your diet if you can.
Sadly, they sell well...
I agree, but slowly I let them know by not buying any processed food or no funky ingredients. ❤
@@ConcernedForHumans the problem is not you or folks like us, but most others...
My Dr's are saying things like auto immune disease and connectivite tissue. I've never felt so bad in my life and don't know what to do.
Yes, me too at 62 . And I use to be healthy, played every sport and never sat!! I cleaned 2 houses a day, washed all the family cars(4) and did all my own yard work… then polymyositis hit, took away all my muscle. Now I can barely lift my arms above my head and can’t get out of a chair, I’m so frustrated now 😢 but trying to just move forward with this stiff non moving lifestyle and resting a lot.
Is it possible to strengthen sphincter muscles like the LES. Digestive motility seems to be a big problem as one ages.
She's pretty
Absolutely.
And very smart, well-informed and interesting.
She is great. Her podcasts are so interesting and informative.
She’s the best.!!
Very cool. Andre
Most people who have been training hard with weights in their youth would still continue to train as hard as they age if pain from injuries and degeneration from loss of cartilage didn’t occur. The loss of testosterone coupled with these issues plays a critical role in losing muscle mass for a vast majority of trainers.
How do we know about the soil something was grown in? And what are these processed grains you keep talking about
This attention was left up to the massage therapists and body workers. Muscles are the orphans of the body. No one thought that it was worth the money to invest in research before. We therapists know it’s where to start sometimes.
What do I do I can't lift heavy? I have shoulder and back injuries.
Walk
I already do that every day. 4 miles. It doesn’t build muscle
Maybe resistance bands?
If you eat 50 grams of 'complete' protein, up to 30% can be lost in conversion to the amino acid profile.
So that 50 grams can be as little as 35 grams.
Surely it would be best to factor that in and eat more protein, not 50 grams but 65 grams.
That way, you buffer the conversion by eating 65 grams and hopefully end up with a net of 50 grams.

Look up Tony from I AM LONGEVITY.
He seems to have this... subject licked to prefection.
Good info yet, I’m not a fan of the gym and I’m very healthy at BMI 18.5 and 17.5% body fat. Blue Zones people don’t use the gym or trainers. My diet is clean and I exercise outdoors.

Love muscle..57 fked from training..need money for joints ect for muscle..😢
