Done. Also, Phages seems like an excellent topic, here is a video I just watched: th-cam.com/video/vDeJMi0mJRA/w-d-xo.html It is all about antibiotice resistance and building an extensive phage bank to fight resistant bacterial infections.
We Really appreciate you S!!!! your content is absolutely paramount to healing ourselves. Truely amazing I got my circulation back into my toes through following the channels advisors on sedentary death. using exercise and nutrition. You have been interviewing absolute superstars in theyr fields and helping us with your own questions, always great too!!! 1 big ❤❤❤❤❤ for you. This and Wendy Suzuki amongst many others have been ultimate info in my healing path. (Common study conclusions are key. when researchers that dont know eachothers studies say the same result is found) especially the every drop of sweat counts!!!!!!
If you don't want to watch 2 hours to know what the 30 second thing is...... sprint (run as fast as you can) for 30 seconds.. It's better than a long run. Thats 2 hours summarized for you : ) You're welcome
There is this book I recently finished reading its called The 21 Former Doctor Secrets, Its full of secrets about modern health industry and my routines started to change so much! I appreciate people like you and these good doctors!
Please do yourself a a favour and don’t skip any of this beautiful doctors story. The most uplifting podcast I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for your beautiful compassionate life.
I normally NEVER comment on videos because I find it a waste of time, but I do read. This is the one time I will reply and say WATCH IT ALL because you will gain diamonds that you will regret you missed for the rest of your life. Watched quite a few DOAC episodes (50+), this one is for your life longevity and how she explains every question and answers lets you know she has experienced the results herself and through others. Summarized keys but still you want to watch to gain her mindset: Be able to squat, and do it 9 hours a day instead of sitting in a chair. build up to it. sitting pandemic. 80% of us have back pain, this is the cause, that is the solution. do random breaks throughout day, wall sit, etc. watch vid if you want more info. joint pain isn't inevitable. you can in fact reverse it. build muscle. this is a BIG key point in a lot of questions that are answered. I've spent enough time for now, you understand. Namaste
It is never too late. I quit smoking at 50 after 37 years of smoking. I started running at 50. I am self employed at a job I love and still working. I love to walk and I do at any given chance. I just turned 70 and I figured if I live to be 80, I want those years to be good ones. I try to walk every day and I have changed how I eat and I have lost 10 lbs. life is movement and we must move. Never please say it is too late, it is one day at a time, one step at a time ❤
Ok, you are so correct, just turned 70 this month and you have to work at maintaining your health on a daily basis!! Never too late, never realized how simple stretching can help strengthen your whole body! 😍
Good job, don’t anything I might add is you should consider doing some weight training, walking isn’t enough, it’s a good start, but as she mentioned in her talk, you need to train heavy for you once in a while, but also consistent mobility exercises, and strength trainingwill help you go into your 80s and 90s Best wishes
good to hear your commitments.. I stopped smoking after 50 years .. stopped drinking alcolohole, never had frezzy drinks, Processed foods Such as fast food, snack foods, chips, cookies, cakes, and sugar cereals, which are often low in nutrients and high in empty calories. Processed meat is especially unhealthy because it's often made by drying, salting, curing, and smoking meat, which removes nutrients and leaves unhealthy carbs.

this is so true! My mother is 95...soon to be 96 and is sharp in mind, very active--walks 3-4 miles daily and spends 15 minutes daily lifting weights. She is not on any prescription medications. She eats healthy and has never been overweight!
Btw, 20 mins . I'm crying with joy! 65 yr old female ex- athlete, who had a life changing fall in November 2023. My knees and lower back were fractured. Broke my Sacrum and S1 and S2 vertebra. This is when my 3 herniated disks showed. I also went from 6' tall to 5'9". Drastic changes and my medicare insurance want there when it should be. Living alone, no family nor friends to help me, I became isolated and sank into severe depression dealing with debilitating pain. But am pushing on. Changed diet and quit smoking and beginning to drop the 45 lbs I gained in 6 months! Thank you from my heart, for delivering me from despair , Stephen. Ty for interviewing this amazing woman! You both gave me the tools I was so desperately looking for. So badly needed. My faith kept me strong. Ty Spirit..you may have saved my life today !❤
This is how I educate as well. Even if you know about the subject, act as if you don’t and ask the most basic questions. Many people are very shy or have trouble asking questions (for fear of looking/sounding dumb). Asking the simplest questions helps us understand better. ❤
I’ve been a registered nurse for 40 years. I have a masters degree with gerontological focus. Nursing teaches holism. Nursing teaches you’re treating the whole person. Medicine does not teach this. So if Physician has also been a nurse is the best kind of physician to have.❤❤❤
Excatly. I am nurse too and whole aproach can not be seen in doctors, especially not in surgeons. Best 2h spent , great insights, even for us medical staff, not mention for ordinary people..
I always enjoyed NP more growing up I even saw this at a very young age as I was in the Dr often with Asthma. Now I do research for natural medicine through foods and supplementation and exercise can appreciate the emergency medicine as a brain surgery survivor and no longer have issues with asthma. Appreciate the nurses and their care. They are the gap between drs and their knowledge and really are the people that provide"care". Thank you can't say enough about nurses
I was a nurse for only 20 years with a Masters in Paediatric Nursing. Nursing is not wholistic. Like medicine it only examines the symptoms and doesn't look look at the root cause of dis-ease.
My grandma died after 1 year of being bedridden due to a hip fracture from being inactive for most of her life. I had to care for her on weekends when her caregiver is on day off and I promised myself I'll never want this for myself. This is the main reason why I exercise
When I don't feel for working in the garden (sweat, muscle ache, plenty of time), I start to think about my father ... in a minute I feel happy, thankful and blessed for having this free gym ... and promising myself different aging.
Me as well with my mom who smoked, dieter and rarely moved. Now has severe emphysema osteoporosis and sarcopenia and now can't do anything unlike before when she refused to do anything physical. I see the result and take my resentment at needing to always do for my mom into a lesson about the need to MOVE, eat healthy and not smoke. She's 80 looks like 100
One of the finest people I've ever met was a GP at Drew Medical School, affiliated with Martin Luther King Jr hospital in Watts. I was a 22 y.o. social work intern. He'd been badly burned as a child. It's one of the things that drove him to be a physician- the wonderful care he had received. Because he'd been a patient, he knew the pain and fear. The nurses would go to him when they couldn't find a vein for an IV, because he was so skilled and had such a gentle touch. They knew he'd find one and do it painlessly. Beautiful soul.
I'm a RN for 25 years ... I worked in different fields of Nursing jobs one of those was Oncology nursing... as a cancer survivor myself... the approach is the whole mind and body of a patient to heal ... not just a broken bones, or targeted chemotherapy of an organ etc. ... yeah I agree that Medical doctors went through Nursing fields so they can Appreciate more of their patients treatments and caregivers especially nurses ...because some some of these doctors are snotty to nurses who advocate to our patients well being
I turn 44 soon, I recently decided to focus on me and my health after suffering a loss. I have stopped smoking and drinking, i'm losing weight and joined a gym, I feel things getting better. I dont want to struggle anymore and definitely not in my later years. Thanks for this episode ❤

Her story in the beginning made me cry. Reminds me of when my dad passed. I saw him the day before he passed and you can hear in this breath that he was fighting to see his family one last time ❤ Miss you dad, happy I made it
Me too, my mum died aged 48 from cancer, she hung on for my dads birthday and died the next day, i was with her holding her hand, i was 21, tough for anyone though at any age! I was blessed to be with her.
@@suzyduncan7881I held my father's hand two with my Grandson on my lap. I coukd feel all the energy before he died. It's a gift you take with you through life. Very fragile
Her passion at the beginning of the interview almost had me crying. She’s a kind soul. She’s blessing many others with her warm heart. Not just with her knowledge. ❤️
I'm a 79 year old female. My adult son has been into body-building most of his life. Most of my life I've been fairly active to the point of joining my son in the gym for about a year. For the last 3 years I've lived a sedentary life. Four months ago I came across Dr. Jordan Peterson's Lion Diet video. After seeing it I researched it further and decided to go on the carnivore diet for the protein and health. After I told my son he was happy at the news and said "let's go back to the gym", which we did. In that time we've done 2 days on and 1 day off, then a bonus of 2 days off to recover. I feel beaten up but I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm lucky to have my very own personal trainer, who's happiest at the gym. I was overweight but I'm losing weight very quickly and getting much stronger and building muscle. I feel better mentally than I have for a long time. Both my son, healthy diet and workouts are giving me a reason to want to live.
As a woman who is experiencing aches and pains. I’m tired of caring around the extra weight. I am 41 and it is encouraging to know that I am not too late to get healthy and heal myself. ❤
I am 41, too but have been the same weight (200 lb) since my 20s. Only really started feeling like crap in the last few years. I admire the body positivity movement but they are mostly young and don't realise it will catch up with you:-(
@@thesupergreenjudy I feel that there are generally two types in the body positivity movement: those that disassociate physical appearance from attractiveness, and those that glorify morbid obesity. The latter is very harmful.
@@JuicyLeek yeah I don't agree with the latter but they are often all viewed the same. The main goal of body positivity is that you learn that you are a valuable human being regardless of your size and deserve to be treated with respect like everyone else - some people (especially men) seem to respond well to shaming but I would argue that the majority just feels like giving up and worthless in response to shaming vs encouragement - I was body shamed since the age of 9 and I wasn't even overweight then. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy. In my country, unless you are a skinny minnie, especially as a woman, you are basically worthless. Many don't understand the harmful effects body shaming has on people. But yes, there are many subsets of the movement which go from the sublime to the ridiculous. I lost quite a lot of weight in between but I put it back on. Mostly due to stress. I am one of those that gains weight when stressed rather than loses it. And women in general have a harder time losing weight thanks to our ridiculous hormones. I know it's never too late and that it's possible. But that doesn't mean it's easy. I have an insanely busy life and focusing on yourself comes with sacrificing other things that are important like family and just paying the bills.
Just about to lift some heavy weights, swim 1,5 km, have a sauna, then eat 30 gm protein meal. Thinking about a mini trampoline, hitting mid 70’s in 2 years. Cheers from Norway.
Well done! What are your thoughts on weights versus resistance bands? I had a couple of injuries with weights so now prefer bands. More control & less chance of injury.
I highly recommend a mini trampoline! Michelle Briehler has tons of workout video with trampolines/rebounders. Plus bouncing is great for the lymphatic system:)
My grandma in her 80's fell from the roof of her garage, walking on the rafters and mis-stepped onto the soft part and fell through, broke nothing, idk if she landed on her car or what. It was hard to believe at first but she LITERALLY left a body outline in the ceiling. She is so strong, just had a knee replacement at 89 and was up and running around after 2 weeks.
I live in Texas surrounded by hard working folks that have worked since they were children (I started at 7) and they seem to carry on until they drop.🤠My dad worked 51 years at the same job and in May, he was forced to retire because of health issues that can't be fixed. I've never known a person be so pissed off that he had to retire. Working hard gives people purpose. Meantime we have a generation that wants a 4 hour work week. 🤔
I had neighbours who only declined in their mid 90s. In his early 90s, Tom maintained a one acre vegetable garden and in her early 99s, Dot still looked after assorted poultry and spent hours cooking (pickles, jams preserves), and knitting each day. Both had extremely big hearts and helped everyone they could
@VadaVoo I think there's a difference between doing tangible work where you have something to show for it and can feel some sort of satisfaction, as opposed to work where you're under constant stress, just feeling like you're keeping your head above water, and where you might sometimes feel relief but rarely satisfaction, like you can never win. I think it's unfair to judge people for wishing to minimise work like that. I think a lot of jobs today (which are worked by younger generations) fall into that second category. Working hard certainly can, but doesn't always, give people purpose. Sometimes it's just soul-crushing.
It’s not just compassion. She sees the whole picture, not just the problem area. And she sees the big picture (of life) and she’s fighting for menopausal women so they don’t just surrender.
I needed this podcast to give me a more structured regime in retaining core strength & mobility. (I’m 61 yrs old)- I was very active, 7/2013, Painting a corner soffit on a 2 story house - the ladder gave way, I fell 15 ft landing on right side, my greater trochanter, ball joint, snapped- herein began my recovery journey from emergency surgery - fractured femoral hip rod & plate at 50 yrs old. I had no idea of osteopenia prevention - until 5 yrs later with severe degenerative bone ossification, spinal stenosis, sciatica, herniated disc in lumbar 3 - Saccrum 1. Ladies: Educate yourselves, eat clean - lots of cruciferous veggies- eliminate sugar & carbs, good fat meat, fish, intermittent fasting, work out ❤️❤️.
Gosh this had me in tears as she talked about her time as a cancer nurse. I lost my mum to cancer when i was 21, she was only 48!!!! I loved this interview, what a truly passionate lovely woman and how lucky her patients are to have her! Xxx
I have been an athletes my whole life, never missed a day at the gym, ride my bike to work and for fun, 20 years in martial arts, ran daily, yoga…. You name it… the got breast cancer at 60. Got COVID, and had to have my hip replaced all in two years time. Kicked my butt for quite a while. I am having a lot of trouble getting back into my routine. It is amazing how difficult it is. I am just now getting started again at 63. This talk gives me hope.
My husband and I had a healthy life style. He was killed at 60 years of age, and they did an autopsy. It came back amazing! All his organs were in perfect shape and no sign of any disease. I continue healthy living.
I am now in my 60s. Like Dr Vonda. I started nurse training (uk) late 1970s. I still, today remember one patient diagnosed with stomach cancer. His dignity and strength in facing his final days is indelibly etched on my whole being and how i have lived and how i delivered care to people i looked after and that around me.
My mom lived to be 88 with diabetes and being overweight but she was sharp, in Mensa, volunteered, raised 8 children had 18 grandchildren and 25 great children. My dad lived to be 95 who had high BP suffered a light stroke but affected his speech a little, he went blind at 80 due to macular degeneration. But their outlook and having family around kept them lively.
I’m a semi athlete in my 30s who’s gone through a subscapularis athroscopic surgery and who’s feeling very lost bcs my doctor seem to not care about my post op wellbeing. Honestly, hearing her speak about the matter just moves me. I can feel her heart speaking and how emphatic she is. The world would be such a better place with more doctors like her💯
This is the most comprehensive interview about health and benefits of the workout and nutrition to date. If THIS interview falls on the deaf ears, there is nothing else that you'll hear that will motivate you to do something. The time to start is NOW. Thank you Steven!❤
Don’t skip anything in this podcast . It has changed my life literally. Thank you both so much! Menopause is so difficult for women to go through, so much of this resonated with me, I train hard, but the constant body aches and joint pain have made me rethink my decision about estrogen. There is so much here to unpack and to think about I hope this reaches everybody..
First off, Dr. Vonda Wright seems like a wonderful, genuine person. Wish all Drs were as compassionate as her. Great episode! Currently I'm in that prime stage as she called it, at age 32. Up until last year I lived a very lazy lifestyle. I didn't care what I put in my body and never worked out. I had horrible back issues and stomach issues. I knew I needed to make a change because I couldn't live like that anymore. Started watching what I eat and doing kettlebells 3x a week and wow what a difference! I lost 30 pounds and I haven't had to go to the chiropractor for my back anymore! My joints also don't hurt like they used to. Being able to simply get up and or kneel is SO MUCH easier. Who knew just 30 pounds could do that (I'm no where near my ideal weight and am still considered "obese", I know I'm still on the right track). I don't get as much stomach issues anymore as well with not eating as much processed foods as I used to. My family has a history of heart disease, cancer and diabetes and tend to not live past 75. I want to be the exception and not follow in my family's footsteps. This podcast episode gave me so much hope that I can control my own future.
I am 60. I wish I had seen this at 45 before going through all the pain of frozen shoulder on both sides and working with clueless doctors and physical therapists! How do they not know that it is an estrogen issue... probably could have saved so much agony, time and money. 😢
Regarding stretching : I'm a 62 year old massage therapist and work out religiously. But, I was chronically sore. I started just stretching every night in bed, and it has made the world of difference. I sleep better and feel 20 years younger! My favorite is the pigeon pose, which stretches the legs and hips.
I am 65 yrs old female fulltime massage therapist for 25 yrs, still practicing part time coz I want to keep moving. when I reached 65 this year my Doc told me i have lumbar stenosis, I have been very active doing my exercises in my younger age plus my job but suddenly I'm restricted to do things that I used to do coz my back pain gets worst everytime I do even swimming. I would appreciate a reply from someone who is suffering from the same and what therapy you have done to help, thank you.
@janetdrewery4832 Dr Howard Schubiner, Nicole Sachs (psych), Lorimer Mosely (physio/neuroscientist utube specialises in pain), The Curable app, Alan Gordon & many others in this chronic pain space. I had regular flares of debilitating back pain from torn disc. Cure for chronic pain. So grateful & hope its helpful for you. Good luck.
I’m not crying are you crying?! 😭 What an amazing human being who we are lucky chose to be a doctor to take care of others. As a 54-year-old woman who just started a strength training journey a month ago, this could not have come at a more poignant time! I’ve taken care of two parents who did not take care of themselves and are a cautionary tale as to what I do not want to endure in my later life. Blessings to this woman and all of you! 🙏🏼💜
Folks…with many years in healthcare and ending my career in Hospice…you do EVERYTHING for your patient’s to make sure ALL is covered until their finale exit in hospice….Dr WRIGHT IS THE REAL DEAL…SHE SPEAKS MY SOUL OF TRUTH….OH MY HEAVENS……SHE IS. THE REAL, REAL, DOCTOR…that has brought that loving care to helping the living..GOD BLESS HER…SIMPLY AMAZING 🙏❤️
Dr. Vonda Wright, thank you for sharing your experience with cancer patients. I saw how hard the life of an oncology nurse is as my own mother fought and eventually succumbed to cancer at only 54 years old. Your ilk is the kindest and strongest people i have encountered in my life. Thank you again.
Dear Steven, I cannot thank you enough for bringing more and more incredible women to your podcast. Dr Vonda Wright, Dr Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr Stacy Sims... all incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, smart and empathetic women who are sharing their knowledge with the world, hugely helping us women in our midlives. This is much needed and it's wonderful that podcasts like yours are contributing to better educated societies. Thank you, keep bringing them please!
I absolutely love these types of videos. I go to the gym 4 times a week, but the one thing that's helped me with squats was having my first child. Whenever I'm holding him, I'm forever squating to pick things up.
Was called too old at 50! Started training in crumbling garage lifting rocks doing pushups on paint cans pullups on beams got ripped af at 53 years old!!!
Another interview I stuck around from start to finish. Thank you for having Dr Wright as your guest. She has answered so more questions here than any orthopedic doctor I have consulted before. Not only for me, but for my 88 year old arthritic mom who is getting PT after a year of recovery from stroke!
This guest was really special. People with nursing backgrounds are built different. Glad she carried that experience with her through her very laudable career as an ortho surgeon. I’ve never been to an ortho surgeon that I felt gave a rat’s behind about me or my body as a complex machine, let alone cared about my longevity. Their focus tends to be very narrow. I would book her as my surgeon in a heartbeat.
I was diagnosed with colon rectal cancer 4,5years ago , one year later my husband to be for 16y left me , and after my depression I finally decided to change my life in the age of 47. I started to exercise b/c the chemos left me with T2 diabetes and I try to reverse it. It’s hard for me to change but your channel helps
I am 27 and just recently embarked on a health journey. Not a weight loss one, although I am obese. But my utmost priority is exactly what Dr. Vonda is talking about - living healthy and fulfilled life not just now, but 50 years from now. I don't want to be a part of today's statistics. I don't want to be a victim of my laziness and circumstances. I don't want to spend my lifetime popping pills for diseases, disorders and conditions a simple lifestyle change could have changed, simply because it's easier to swallow a pill then it is to break a sweat. I want my future children to exercise, eat nutritious food, be healthy, and how can I install that into them, if I don't lead by example? Just because I grew up in a family where exercise is not a normal, daily thing but a chore, where eating nutritious food was considered "a diet" and where the solution to every health issue wasn't which lifestyle change to introduce, but which medicine to take, doesn't mean my children need to live the same way. I will break the generational curse and old ways of upbringing and rearrange them to allow my children to live long, healthy, safe lives, with their mum as a good role model and support system they can always and forever rely on. I started a a bit over 2 months ago, I gained a momentum and I sincerely wonder how I was alive and (moderately) healthy so far. I appreciate my body so much for not giving up on me, when I gave up on it. Now it's my turn to show gratitude and work for the better of both my physical, mental and emotional self.
You are so positive I salute you and wish you ultimate success. It's so easy to gain weight in our society, too much busy work, sedentary activities, lousy food and stress. I have found when you deal with quality of life and get rid of the "saboteurs" your weight comes off slowly but surely. I had a very intense IT contract once, Eating on the run, working overnight and lots of deadline stress. I gained weight. Once the contract was over I got back to the gym, cooked at home, worked normal hours and the wight came off all by itself.
I was obese at 60 y/o. My peak weight was 262 at 6’1”. I researched Keto for several months. I was on 7 medications for 20+ years and I was disgusted with myself. I started January 2022. I also walked 3 miles every other day. Within the first week, I stopped 20 mg of Nexium (for acid reflux). By the end of the month I was walking 5 miles every other day. February, I was rarely hungry so I only ate when I was hungry. By the end of February, I was eating one meal a day (OMAD). I stopped my anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications and 2 of my blood pressure medications. March, I was walking 8 miles every other day. June, I had the best blood test result ever. October, I weighed 190 lbs and I was off my other blood pressure medication and sleep medication. Two and 1/2 years after I started. I still weigh the same. I’m walking up to 10 miles every other day. I still eat OMAD. My diet is beef, salmon, eggs, sardines, sauerkraut and two types of kimchi. I will also eat pecans and at times cheese. I supplement with Vitamin D3/K2, magnesium, zinc, sea kelp for iodine, B1, nutritional yeast (for B complex). I drink coffee in the morning and drink electrolyte infused water/green tea throughout the day.
@WilliamFluery great I am 48 years old hardly time for myself obese with joint pain and feeling do low everyday just trying to make my kids good persons and successful in their life
I love the whole person care model!! I’ve said that since I worked in outpatient & inpatient mental health facilities. It’s what’s needed. I finally resigned grieving the lack of for human beings. Seeing my mother sick throughout my childhood & her passing at 44 made me realize the importance of caring for the entire person…mind, body & soul.
SHE IS AMAZINGLY EMPATHETIC! An angel of a Doctor….sometimes we forget to walk with our eyes open…these podcasts are awesome!it’s refreshing and so informative I have learned so much….truly your guests enrich my life!❤. So thank you for once again captivating my attention span……it’s always time well spent. 😊
@@Peekaboo-Kitty of course it’s a figure of speech….meaning not reallySEEING the things around us…and how it all plays a part in our own awareness….. people look to others for faults, without looking within.
I seriously can't believe the amount of people complaining about the length of the podcast YET the overweight world has no problem staring into a black mirror, munching on highly processed foods. Everyone gets the health they deserve
@@oneslikemeYou don't need to watch the podcast in one sitting, like you said that's unhealthy to be staring at a screen and sitting in one place for that amount of time. Instead of doing that you can break the podcast into chunks take a break after watching for 30 minutes take a break come back and watching another 30 and so on
I actually like Steven’s long videos, because I mostly listen, and do other things while doing so. What becomes counterproductive for me is watching shorter videos, and getting drawn into a spiraling rabbit hole of mostly worthless videos. Steven’s guests are fascinating! I’m enjoying this one, very much.
My great aunt died from smoke inhalation after an accidental house fire at 92. She probably would have lived to well over 100! But she always said the way she stayed young was to surround herself with people of ALL ages so you stay youthful and keep a young mind ❤
😮 Literally my face when she started talking about frozen shoulder. I've been suffering with one for 18 months now after spending thousands seeing osteopaths, massage therapists and physiotherapists because the doctor kept saying there was nothing they could do. I am 54 and have had weight gain, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog and tendonitis. Absolute nightmare! I wish this information had been around 5 years ago. At 48 I was in the best shape of my life, strong, healthy and confident. Menopause destroyed that and I'm now in the worst shape, at the heaviest I've ever been. I'll follow this advice with hope that I'll be able to battle my way back. Thank you for this podcast.
I used to have joint pain until i used David Goggins' signature saying if your mind knows you're not going to quit, your body will adapt. That worked for me , the body adapted and I am doing things i couldn't before and pain is gone.
I just lost my sister a few days ago, due to cancer. So when she was telling that story, i totally relate to her. When you lose someone close to you, it really changes your perpective around life. Aldo i'm 48 i really feel i want to change my career to help people to better there lifes, in a more healthy way, and for there families and loved ones, not to go through the same pain my family is going through now.
I feel your pain, I lost my brother in law to pancreatic cancer in January, it is just memories now. I distract my attention and thoughts by exercising, walking and also working.
This woman in an angel! Truly an inspiration for any health professional wannabe or just in general! Its so rare to find a medical professional who looks at you as whole, as intertwined parts that cant be separeted, as a human, who cares, who thinks about it, who puts effort, energy and that sees that no pacient is the same. From someone who is loosing faith in doctors and "traditional" healthcare, words cant describe her awesomeness i fear. I can only draw inspiration from you Doc and hope one day ill be half the professional you are!
Dr Vonda is right about sedentary death. As a doctor I’ve never been sedentary, having to walk all over the hospital to see my patients. Then in December 2022 I decided to try a “work from home” job where I sat at my desk for most of 8 hours. Even though I continued to do the SAME exercise as when I was working in the hospital, I developed back aches and over the course of 13 months, I gained 13 pounds! And I’d NEVER been able to gain weight previously, being borderline underweight my whole life. I quit that job and went back to working in a hospital. I dropped the 13 pounds in less than 2 months! And my backaches disappeared. My conclusion from that year sitting at home is that desk work is an unnatural state of being for humans, and episodic movement trumps one hour of exercise at the start or end of the day. It’s unfortunate that most of us are trained to believe that doing desk work for 40 years is natural. It’s a slow death. As Dr Vonda says, no wonder many people get sick and die soon after they retire from these awful sitting jobs. Great interview! 🙏
It starts in the brain. If you’re relatively healthy at any age and focus on your health through diet and regular movement you may prolong your life. Eat healthy. Keep moving. Thrive and enjoy life as long as possible! 71 years here and determined to keep moving. 💪🏼
I watch a woman in a group called gymnastics over 60. There is a woman who posts herself doing bar routines! She 60. Bars are extremely hard on the arms, and works the core like crazy. She is amazing. And the 95 yr old German woman who does levers and planches on parallel bars.
This woman is super super smart and top-educated. Best qualified most expert guest you've had. Hands down best information about every aspect of medicine she talked about. A real deal expert. Thank you.
The best and most fun way to add speed, agility and balance to your training regimen is not run an agility course in the gym but to play tennis regularly.
Just when I thought you had brought all the top guests then, Dr Voda came along. One of the best conversations ever.......she covered so much. Thank you Steven and the Team for a job well done!
I really enjoyed this talk, I don't understand why would you want to skip 2 hours of this great, positive doctor talking about health. I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to listen for free about her knowledge that she shares, since I live on the other side of the globe. Come on, don't skip what she has to say, she is great...
Thank you! Great information! As a nurse for over 30 years, I can totally relate to everything Dr Vonda Wright is saying. I am a certified operating room nurse and a certified holistic nurse. I believe some surgical procedures are needed but it is most important to take care of the whole person; mind, body, and soul. You are what you eat. Many procedures and medications can be avoided by eliminating sugar and processed foods and incorporating exercise in daily routine. Maintaining connections with family and friends is also very important.
I LOVE this episode, thank you! I am 54 and just started getting well and feeling better again since November 2023 after doing intermittent fasting and extended fasting alongside my Mondays and Thursdays dry fasting, weekly Zumba, morning walks, tabata and resistance training, after watching hours of your episodes with Drs Jason Fung, Mindy Pelz, Mary Claire Haver and many more. I learned so much from their individual channels too. Dr Vonda Wright has definitely made me more diligent with my weight training and it's helped me feel stronger. I have gone down from size 2xl-3xl to practically M now, and my blood pressure is consistently within 110/70 - 120/80 instead of the nagging 135/85 - 140/90 before. I still have stiffness in my knees which started about 2-3years ago, making me have to do my prayers seated on a chair instead of the normal way. But these days I am able to alternate praying the normal way and seated on a chair, Alhamdulillah, yayyyy!!! It's a work in progress and I'm keeping at it, InsyaaAllah ❤. I eat well and clean too now, completely off sugar, regulating carbs and focusing more on vegetables, fibers, proteins, probiotics, all with real whole foods. Oh, and I LOVE your episode about coffee with James Hoffman too, I now enjoy filtered coffee. Oh, and I also definitely LOVE your session with the Glucose Goddess! I have shared your episodes on my socials with family and friends. Many are still not willing to make the change even though they can see the changes I've achieved these past 9 months. But I will keep on sharing and encouraging, InsyaaAllah. Thank you for DOAC, God bless ❤
I have so far watched 23 minutes of this podcast with Vonda Wright and find it refreshing to hear a Dr speak with so much emotion when she speaks of the patient's she cared for during her formative years as an aspiring academic and nurse. Listening to her years of experience and her wanting to look after the whole person as opposed to the orthopedic part of the body that has gone wrong, gives me confidence that out there somewhere, there are those clinicians with the same mindset. This podcast is definitely worth watching to the end, especially if, as an individual, you experience a degree of frailty as I currently experience. The shoulder pain she mentioned is exactly as described. Thanks for the podcast
True story. I had a stand up desk at the office and would stand 40 hours a week at work. Then, I started working from home... and then sat most my time while working at home. My health deteriorated QUICKLY! I ended up getting hypoxia, inability to keep my O2 above 88, and I have been hospitalized 4 times since --- I mean, what she is saying is all so true! Your health is everything. Do not live a sedentary life, movement... is... life!
The striking thought from most of your videos, and highlighted by this episode is; I start listening because i dont want to miss an episode. Don't know if this will interest me enough to listen for 90 minutes. Then be absolutely fascinated. Great guest, thank you both.
Biggest take away so far: the biggest hurdle in your health is self worth related. “Do I believe I am worthy of the daily commitment to my health or is everything else more important than me?” Soooo good! This hit so hard I felt it in my soul!! 🙌🙌🙌
I gained 50lbs in a very short amount of time after never being fat and oh my god, it’s so heavy. I can feel every pound and everything makes me tired because of the extra effort I have to apply to everything I do. I now understand how people feel like they can’t shift weight. I’m currently trying to get rid of it and once it’s gone, I’ll never allow this to happen to me again!
Same with me. Never been overweight like I am now. Thank you menopause 😫 Life is a struggle, but watching videos like this helps with learning how to improve myself when what I’ve always done doesn’t work anymore.
I believe this after my heart attack I started working out and eating healthy and it changed my life. Jesus I PRAISE you! Lord give me strength I’m struggling providing for my children. I’m so discouraged but I will keep faith because faith is all I have left! I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I have two beautiful boys both are special needs. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets. Lord help me provide for my children. Give me strength while I struggle to buy groceries and while, I struggle pay rent. Father grant me strength.
@@krusher74yes, it maybe hard to believe but some people don’t know much about health choices until they go through sickness/disease then they can understand working out and healthy eating
Bless your heart, sister. I immediately prayed for you, in Jesus name. Please pray I Thessalonians 5:23 over yourself. Paste it on your mirrors, walls to confess daily. The word of God works. Blessings😊
Your health is like your pension, you need to be investing in it when you are younger. You are never too young to start and you shouldn't leave it too late.

Please do yourself a a favour and don’t skip any of this beautiful doctors story. The most uplifting podcast I’ve ever listened to. Thank you for your beautiful compassionate life.
Thank you
@drvondawright I agree. Thank you dr Vonda. Namaste ❤
I normally NEVER comment on videos because I find it a waste of time, but I do read. This is the one time I will reply and say WATCH IT ALL because you will gain diamonds that you will regret you missed for the rest of your life. Watched quite a few DOAC episodes (50+), this one is for your life longevity and how she explains every question and answers lets you know she has experienced the results herself and through others.
Summarized keys but still you want to watch to gain her mindset:
Be able to squat, and do it 9 hours a day instead of sitting in a chair. build up to it. sitting pandemic. 80% of us have back pain, this is the cause, that is the solution. do random breaks throughout day, wall sit, etc. watch vid if you want more info.
joint pain isn't inevitable. you can in fact reverse it. build muscle. this is a BIG key point in a lot of questions that are answered. I've spent enough time for now, you understand. Namaste
I agree 100%
Completely agree! I cried with her!
It is never too late. I quit smoking at 50 after 37 years of smoking. I started running at 50. I am self employed at a job I love and still working. I love to walk and I do at any given chance. I just turned 70 and I figured if I live to be 80, I want those years to be good ones. I try to walk every day and I have changed how I eat and I have lost 10 lbs. life is movement and we must move. Never please say it is too late, it is one day at a time, one step at a time ❤
Ok, you are so correct, just turned 70 this month and you have to work at maintaining your health on a daily basis!! Never too late, never realized how simple stretching can help strengthen your whole body! 😍
Good job, don’t anything I might add is you should consider doing some weight training, walking isn’t enough, it’s a good start, but as she mentioned in her talk, you need to train heavy for you once in a while, but also consistent mobility exercises, and strength trainingwill help you go into your 80s and 90s
Best wishes
Thank you for your inspiring sharing❤
good to hear your commitments.. I stopped smoking after 50 years .. stopped drinking alcolohole, never had frezzy drinks, Processed foods
Such as fast food, snack foods, chips, cookies, cakes, and sugar cereals, which are often low in nutrients and high in empty calories. Processed meat is especially unhealthy because it's often made by drying, salting, curing, and smoking meat, which removes nutrients and leaves unhealthy carbs.

FACE:
F- flexibility
A-aerobic exercise
C- carrying a load
E-equilibrium.
1. Flexibility & Dynamic stretching:
Warming up every single day, jumping jacks,
Static stretching after workout: (yoga, pilates)
F-flexibility: Focused dynamic stretching of every major muscle group daily. Hold each stretch for a full 30 seconds and repeat 4 times to stretch muscles and tendons out to their optimal performance length.
2. Arobic
A-aerobic exercise: Challenge your heart and lungs intensely every other day. Mix up your training methods to prevent overuse injury.
3. C - carry a load
C-carry a load: Resistance training through a functional range of motion is a must for the master. 3-5 times a week. Use your own body weight or bands if iron doesn’t appeal to you.
4. E-equilibrium.
E-equilibrium: Our balance deteriorates rapidly with age but with a little daily work, you can retrained your body to keep you upright on the roads or trails with a little daily work.
For equilibrium… also balancing on one foot while brushing teeth. Love this summary. Thx:)

Brilliant, thanks. 😀

This is what you get when you have an intelligent professional who speaks passionately about self-esteem and self-discipline. Thank you both so much!
this is so true! My mother is 95...soon to be 96 and is sharp in mind, very active--walks 3-4 miles daily and spends 15 minutes daily lifting weights. She is not on any prescription medications. She eats healthy and has never been overweight!

How is possible she was never nor a little overweight?

Btw, 20 mins . I'm crying with joy! 65 yr old female ex- athlete, who had a life changing fall in November 2023. My knees and lower back were fractured. Broke my Sacrum and S1 and S2 vertebra. This is when my 3 herniated disks showed. I also went from 6' tall to 5'9". Drastic changes and my medicare insurance want there when it should be. Living alone, no family nor friends to help me, I became isolated and sank into severe depression dealing with debilitating pain. But am pushing on. Changed diet and quit smoking and beginning to drop the 45 lbs I gained in 6 months! Thank you from my heart, for delivering me from despair , Stephen. Ty for interviewing this amazing woman! You both gave me the tools I was so desperately looking for. So badly needed. My faith kept me strong. Ty Spirit..you may have saved my life today !❤
I am so happy for you. Keep going strong 💪 God bless you.
See a chiropractor as well will help you to realign
You can do it. Making the decision to do it is half the battle, stay strong!!
Praying for you🙏🙏
Prayers for you! Many of us aging lonely people in the world. Wish there were a way to bring us all together. Stay strong!
Stephen has a fantastic ability to ask questions like a humble novice when he is clearly very well educated in this subject.
That's very true.
Thats why he has 7 mil followers
This is how I educate as well. Even if you know about the subject, act as if you don’t and ask the most basic questions. Many people are very shy or have trouble asking questions (for fear of looking/sounding dumb).
Asking the simplest questions helps us understand better. ❤
I’ve been a registered nurse for 40 years. I have a masters degree with gerontological focus. Nursing teaches holism. Nursing teaches you’re treating the whole person. Medicine does not teach this. So if Physician has also been a nurse is the best kind of physician to have.❤❤❤
Very insightful. Thank you!
Excellent point!! Thank you!
Excatly. I am nurse too and whole aproach can not be seen in doctors, especially not in surgeons. Best 2h spent , great insights, even for us medical staff, not mention for ordinary people..
I always enjoyed NP more growing up I even saw this at a very young age as I was in the Dr often with Asthma. Now I do research for natural medicine through foods and supplementation and exercise can appreciate the emergency medicine as a brain surgery survivor and no longer have issues with asthma. Appreciate the nurses and their care. They are the gap between drs and their knowledge and really are the people that provide"care". Thank you can't say enough about nurses
I was a nurse for only 20 years with a Masters in Paediatric Nursing. Nursing is not wholistic. Like medicine it only examines the symptoms and doesn't look look at the root cause of dis-ease.
This interview tells me:
1. We need more female orthopaedic surgeons.
2. We need more doctors who have had rich life experience before their training.
Absolutely
I'm agnostic as to the gender of my Doctors.
What makes you think Doctors haven't haven't had "rich lives" ?
@starbarhippo1989
Sure but studying and living aren't mutually exclusive...
We need Doctors untied to the big pharma industry which is invested in keeping us sick and in an unhealthy cycle.
Why does their gender matter?
“Muscle is nature’s Spanx” is an instant classic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm sold.
Everyone should invest in 2 hours of this podcast, it’s life changing. Every bit is educational.
My grandma died after 1 year of being bedridden due to a hip fracture from being inactive for most of her life. I had to care for her on weekends when her caregiver is on day off and I promised myself I'll never want this for myself. This is the main reason why I exercise
When I don't feel for working in the garden (sweat, muscle ache, plenty of time), I start to think about my father ... in a minute I feel happy, thankful and blessed for having this free gym ... and promising myself different aging.
Me as well with my mom who smoked, dieter and rarely moved. Now has severe emphysema osteoporosis and sarcopenia and now can't do anything unlike before when she refused to do anything physical. I see the result and take my resentment at needing to always do for my mom into a lesson about the need to MOVE, eat healthy and not smoke. She's 80 looks like 100
me too ❤ be healthy for everybody ❤
Every doctor should be required to be (and work as) a nurse first. I truly believe this would dramatically change their practice for the better.
One of the finest people I've ever met was a GP at Drew Medical School, affiliated with Martin Luther King Jr hospital in Watts. I was a 22 y.o. social work intern.
He'd been badly burned as a child. It's one of the things that drove him to be a physician- the wonderful care he had received.
Because he'd been a patient, he knew the pain and fear. The nurses would go to him when they couldn't find a vein for an IV, because he was so skilled and had such a gentle touch. They knew he'd find one and do it painlessly.
Beautiful soul.
Also, should be a minimum age requirement.
Too much of a push to minimize doctor age to cut corners.
Too many people want a "genius" doctor.
I agree.
Absolutely! {nurse in the family}
I'm a RN for 25 years ... I worked in different fields of Nursing jobs one of those was Oncology nursing... as a cancer survivor myself... the approach is the whole mind and body of a patient to heal ... not just a broken bones, or targeted chemotherapy of an organ etc. ... yeah I agree that Medical doctors went through Nursing fields so they can Appreciate more of their patients treatments and caregivers especially nurses ...because some some of these doctors are snotty to nurses who advocate to our patients well being
I turn 44 soon, I recently decided to focus on me and my health after suffering a loss. I have stopped smoking and drinking, i'm losing weight and joined a gym, I feel things getting better. I dont want to struggle anymore and definitely not in my later years. Thanks for this episode ❤

I'm a 79 year old female. My adult son has been into body-building most of his life. Most of my life I've been fairly active to the point of joining my son in the gym for about a year. For the last 3 years I've lived a sedentary life. Four months ago I came across Dr. Jordan Peterson's Lion Diet video. After seeing it I researched it further and decided to go on the carnivore diet for the protein and health. After I told my son he was happy at the news and said "let's go back to the gym", which we did. In that time we've done 2 days on and 1 day off, then a bonus of 2 days off to recover. I feel beaten up but I'm getting stronger all the time. I'm lucky to have my very own personal trainer, who's happiest at the gym. I was overweight but I'm losing weight very quickly and getting much stronger and building muscle. I feel better mentally than I have for a long time. Both my son, healthy diet and workouts are giving me a reason to want to live.
Good son to help his mom. 😊
❤
Vegans live longer and healthier than carnivores. You might lose weight quickly on carnivore but will die sooner than vegetarians/ vegans.
When she said that we will need our lower body muscles more, i felt that. I hit the like button immediately
I wish all doctors were as dedicated to their patients' health as Dr. Wright. What a blessing she is to the health profession.
As a woman who is experiencing aches and pains. I’m tired of caring around the extra weight. I am 41 and it is encouraging to know that I am not too late to get healthy and heal myself. ❤
I am 41, too but have been the same weight (200 lb) since my 20s. Only really started feeling like crap in the last few years. I admire the body positivity movement but they are mostly young and don't realise it will catch up with you:-(
Not too late at all, I know people who lost huge amounts of weight well into their 50s and 60s. One of them is my formerly obese physician!
@@thesupergreenjudy I feel that there are generally two types in the body positivity movement: those that disassociate physical appearance from attractiveness, and those that glorify morbid obesity. The latter is very harmful.
@@JuicyLeek yeah I don't agree with the latter but they are often all viewed the same. The main goal of body positivity is that you learn that you are a valuable human being regardless of your size and deserve to be treated with respect like everyone else - some people (especially men) seem to respond well to shaming but I would argue that the majority just feels like giving up and worthless in response to shaming vs encouragement - I was body shamed since the age of 9 and I wasn't even overweight then. It became a self-fulfilling prophecy. In my country, unless you are a skinny minnie, especially as a woman, you are basically worthless. Many don't understand the harmful effects body shaming has on people. But yes, there are many subsets of the movement which go from the sublime to the ridiculous. I lost quite a lot of weight in between but I put it back on. Mostly due to stress. I am one of those that gains weight when stressed rather than loses it.
And women in general have a harder time losing weight thanks to our ridiculous hormones. I know it's never too late and that it's possible. But that doesn't mean it's easy. I have an insanely busy life and focusing on yourself comes with sacrificing other things that are important like family and just paying the bills.
I ran my first spartan run at 42. You’re young- keep moving ❤
You treat a person, by its entirety, you are a true doctor.

Wow amazing !! The mini trampoline is great do it! I recommend Dave Halls cellerciser 👍
Bellicon trampolines are the best!

Well done! What are your thoughts on weights versus resistance bands? I had a couple of injuries with weights so now prefer bands. More control & less chance of injury.

What a great amount of information. I'm almost 70 and ride a bike instead of driving a car. It has made all the difference.
My grandma in her 80's fell from the roof of her garage, walking on the rafters and mis-stepped onto the soft part and fell through, broke nothing, idk if she landed on her car or what. It was hard to believe at first but she LITERALLY left a body outline in the ceiling. She is so strong, just had a knee replacement at 89 and was up and running around after 2 weeks.
what an awesome woman. congratulations on having some of her great dna.

My dad is 89. Old school farmer and is still kicking, still driving, still working on the farm and shovelling in his vegetable garden.
I live in Texas surrounded by hard working folks that have worked since they were children (I started at 7) and they seem to carry on until they drop.🤠My dad worked 51 years at the same job and in May, he was forced to retire because of health issues that can't be fixed. I've never known a person be so pissed off that he had to retire. Working hard gives people purpose. Meantime we have a generation that wants a 4 hour work week. 🤔
I had neighbours who only declined in their mid 90s. In his early 90s, Tom maintained a one acre vegetable garden and in her early 99s, Dot still looked after assorted poultry and spent hours cooking (pickles, jams preserves), and knitting each day. Both had extremely big hearts and helped everyone they could
@VadaVoo I think there's a difference between doing tangible work where you have something to show for it and can feel some sort of satisfaction, as opposed to work where you're under constant stress, just feeling like you're keeping your head above water, and where you might sometimes feel relief but rarely satisfaction, like you can never win. I think it's unfair to judge people for wishing to minimise work like that. I think a lot of jobs today (which are worked by younger generations) fall into that second category. Working hard certainly can, but doesn't always, give people purpose. Sometimes it's just soul-crushing.
And I hope you are following in his footsteps 👣 ❤
Yes! Farmers, bricklayers, roofers - their bodies benefit from that lifetime of active work!
What we really need is more physicians like this compassionate woman.
It’s not just compassion. She sees the whole picture, not just the problem area. And she sees the big picture (of life) and she’s fighting for menopausal women so they don’t just surrender.
Absolutely! I want HER as my doctor!!!!
I needed this podcast to give me a more structured regime in retaining core strength & mobility. (I’m 61 yrs old)- I was very active, 7/2013, Painting a corner soffit on a 2 story house - the ladder gave way, I fell 15 ft landing on right side, my greater trochanter, ball joint, snapped- herein began my recovery journey from emergency surgery - fractured femoral hip rod & plate at 50 yrs old. I had no idea of osteopenia prevention - until 5 yrs later with severe degenerative bone ossification, spinal stenosis, sciatica, herniated disc in lumbar 3 - Saccrum 1.
Ladies: Educate yourselves, eat clean - lots of cruciferous veggies- eliminate sugar & carbs, good fat meat, fish, intermittent fasting, work out ❤️❤️.
Thank you for the advice.
Also, an advert for leaving ladder work to qualified professionals!
I wish I liked fish.

Gosh this had me in tears as she talked about her time as a cancer nurse. I lost my mum to cancer when i was 21, she was only 48!!!!
I loved this interview, what a truly passionate lovely woman and how lucky her patients are to have her! Xxx
I have been an athletes my whole life, never missed a day at the gym, ride my bike to work and for fun, 20 years in martial arts, ran daily, yoga…. You name it… the got breast cancer at 60. Got COVID, and had to have my hip replaced all in two years time. Kicked my butt for quite a while. I am having a lot of trouble getting back into my routine. It is amazing how difficult it is. I am just now getting started again at 63. This talk gives me hope.

I am now in my 60s. Like Dr Vonda. I started nurse training (uk) late 1970s. I still, today remember one patient diagnosed with stomach cancer. His dignity and strength in facing his final days is indelibly etched on my whole being and how i have lived and how i delivered care to people i looked after and that around me.
Incredible! What a testament to that man’s life. God bless you.
My mom lived to be 88 with diabetes and being overweight but she was sharp, in Mensa, volunteered, raised 8 children had 18 grandchildren and 25 great children.
My dad lived to be 95 who had high BP suffered a light stroke but affected his speech a little, he went blind at 80 due to macular degeneration. But their outlook and having family around kept them lively.
I’m a semi athlete in my 30s who’s gone through a subscapularis athroscopic surgery and who’s feeling very lost bcs my doctor seem to not care about my post op wellbeing. Honestly, hearing her speak about the matter just moves me. I can feel her heart speaking and how emphatic she is. The world would be such a better place with more doctors like her💯
Dr. Wright is what medical professionals are made of...integrity, compassion, skill, determination. Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is the most comprehensive interview about health and benefits of the workout and nutrition to date. If THIS interview falls on the deaf ears, there is nothing else that you'll hear that will motivate you to do something. The time to start is NOW. Thank you Steven!❤
I think you might mean that this interview falls on *deaf* ears.
You are correct.
Don’t skip anything in this podcast . It has changed my life literally. Thank you both so much! Menopause is so difficult for women to go through, so much of this resonated with me, I train hard, but the constant body aches and joint pain have made me rethink my decision about estrogen. There is so much here to unpack and to think about I hope this reaches everybody..
I'm 45, and I gradually changed my lifestyle a couple of years ago. I've lost 30 lbs. so far, and my knees no longer hurt 🙌🏾
First off, Dr. Vonda Wright seems like a wonderful, genuine person. Wish all Drs were as compassionate as her. Great episode! Currently I'm in that prime stage as she called it, at age 32. Up until last year I lived a very lazy lifestyle. I didn't care what I put in my body and never worked out. I had horrible back issues and stomach issues. I knew I needed to make a change because I couldn't live like that anymore. Started watching what I eat and doing kettlebells 3x a week and wow what a difference! I lost 30 pounds and I haven't had to go to the chiropractor for my back anymore! My joints also don't hurt like they used to. Being able to simply get up and or kneel is SO MUCH easier. Who knew just 30 pounds could do that (I'm no where near my ideal weight and am still considered "obese", I know I'm still on the right track). I don't get as much stomach issues anymore as well with not eating as much processed foods as I used to. My family has a history of heart disease, cancer and diabetes and tend to not live past 75. I want to be the exception and not follow in my family's footsteps. This podcast episode gave me so much hope that I can control my own future.
I am 59 yrs old and The 2hrs are extremely worth the watch! Thank you for this episode!!!❤
I am 60. I wish I had seen this at 45 before going through all the pain of frozen shoulder on both sides and working with clueless doctors and physical therapists! How do they not know that it is an estrogen issue... probably could have saved so much agony, time and money. 😢
As an amateur work out and weightlifting enthusiast, this podcast gave me so much morale boost, I don't hope to stop anytime soon
Regarding stretching : I'm a 62 year old massage therapist and work out religiously. But, I was chronically sore. I started just stretching every night in bed, and it has made the world of difference. I sleep better and feel 20 years younger! My favorite is the pigeon pose, which stretches the legs and hips.
Pigeon pose is the bomb diggity. It feels AWESOME!
I am 65 yrs old female fulltime massage therapist for 25 yrs, still practicing part time coz I want to keep moving. when I reached 65 this year my Doc told me i have lumbar stenosis, I have been very active doing my exercises in my younger age plus my job but suddenly I'm restricted to do things that I used to do coz my back pain gets worst everytime I do even swimming. I would appreciate a reply from someone who is suffering from the same and what therapy you have done to help, thank you.
@janetdrewery4832 Dr Howard Schubiner, Nicole Sachs (psych), Lorimer Mosely (physio/neuroscientist utube specialises in pain), The Curable app, Alan Gordon & many others in this chronic pain space. I had regular flares of debilitating back pain from torn disc. Cure for chronic pain. So grateful & hope its helpful for you. Good luck.
Finally a doctor that shows style, elegance and knowledge. Finally a person with a nice voice and seriuous presentation.
This is one of the best interviews. She is outstanding in answering questions - thorough yet relatable and compassionate, while compelling.
I’m not crying are you crying?! 😭 What an amazing human being who we are lucky chose to be a doctor to take care of others. As a 54-year-old woman who just started a strength training journey a month ago, this could not have come at a more poignant time! I’ve taken care of two parents who did not take care of themselves and are a cautionary tale as to what I do not want to endure in my later life. Blessings to this woman and all of you! 🙏🏼💜
I’m crying…❤
I'm crying❤
OMG, I love her compassion. She is a rare doctor, her views are amazing. She has raw, real human compassion and heartfelt care. ❤
Folks…with many years in healthcare and ending my career in Hospice…you do EVERYTHING for your patient’s to make sure ALL is covered until their finale exit in hospice….Dr WRIGHT IS THE REAL DEAL…SHE SPEAKS MY SOUL OF TRUTH….OH MY HEAVENS……SHE IS. THE REAL, REAL, DOCTOR…that has brought that loving care to helping the living..GOD BLESS HER…SIMPLY AMAZING 🙏❤️
Dr. Vonda Wright, thank you for sharing your experience with cancer patients. I saw how hard the life of an oncology nurse is as my own mother fought and eventually succumbed to cancer at only 54 years old. Your ilk is the kindest and strongest people i have encountered in my life. Thank you again.
Dear Steven, I cannot thank you enough for bringing more and more incredible women to your podcast. Dr Vonda Wright, Dr Mary Claire Haver, Dr. Mindy Pelz, Dr Stacy Sims... all incredibly knowledgeable, charismatic, smart and empathetic women who are sharing their knowledge with the world, hugely helping us women in our midlives. This is much needed and it's wonderful that podcasts like yours are contributing to better educated societies. Thank you, keep bringing them please!
I absolutely love these types of videos. I go to the gym 4 times a week, but the one thing that's helped me with squats was having my first child. Whenever I'm holding him, I'm forever squating to pick things up.

Another interview I stuck around from start to finish. Thank you for having Dr Wright as your guest. She has answered so more questions here than any orthopedic doctor I have consulted before. Not only for me, but for my 88 year old arthritic mom who is getting PT after a year of recovery from stroke!
This guest was really special. People with nursing backgrounds are built different. Glad she carried that experience with her through her very laudable career as an ortho surgeon. I’ve never been to an ortho surgeon that I felt gave a rat’s behind about me or my body as a complex machine, let alone cared about my longevity. Their focus tends to be very narrow. I would book her as my surgeon in a heartbeat.
I like this woman. It's obvious she truly loves people.
I was diagnosed with colon rectal cancer 4,5years ago , one year later my husband to be for 16y left me , and after my depression I finally decided to change my life in the age of 47. I started to exercise b/c the chemos left me with T2 diabetes and I try to reverse it. It’s hard for me to change but your channel helps
we need more people like her. honestly gives me more faith in humanity
I am 27 and just recently embarked on a health journey. Not a weight loss one, although I am obese. But my utmost priority is exactly what Dr. Vonda is talking about - living healthy and fulfilled life not just now, but 50 years from now. I don't want to be a part of today's statistics. I don't want to be a victim of my laziness and circumstances. I don't want to spend my lifetime popping pills for diseases, disorders and conditions a simple lifestyle change could have changed, simply because it's easier to swallow a pill then it is to break a sweat. I want my future children to exercise, eat nutritious food, be healthy, and how can I install that into them, if I don't lead by example? Just because I grew up in a family where exercise is not a normal, daily thing but a chore, where eating nutritious food was considered "a diet" and where the solution to every health issue wasn't which lifestyle change to introduce, but which medicine to take, doesn't mean my children need to live the same way. I will break the generational curse and old ways of upbringing and rearrange them to allow my children to live long, healthy, safe lives, with their mum as a good role model and support system they can always and forever rely on. I started a a bit over 2 months ago, I gained a momentum and I sincerely wonder how I was alive and (moderately) healthy so far. I appreciate my body so much for not giving up on me, when I gave up on it. Now it's my turn to show gratitude and work for the better of both my physical, mental and emotional self.
You are so positive I salute you and wish you ultimate success. It's so easy to gain weight in our society, too much busy work, sedentary activities, lousy food and stress. I have found when you deal with quality of life and get rid of the "saboteurs" your weight comes off slowly but surely. I had a very intense IT contract once, Eating on the run, working overnight and lots of deadline stress. I gained weight. Once the contract was over I got back to the gym, cooked at home, worked normal hours and the wight came off all by itself.
look up dr jason fung, intermittent fasting
i’m finally losing weight
I was obese at 60 y/o. My peak weight was 262 at 6’1”. I researched Keto for several months. I was on 7 medications for 20+ years and I was disgusted with myself. I started January 2022. I also walked 3 miles every other day. Within the first week, I stopped 20 mg of Nexium (for acid reflux). By the end of the month I was walking 5 miles every other day. February, I was rarely hungry so I only ate when I was hungry. By the end of February, I was eating one meal a day (OMAD). I stopped my anti-depressants, anti-anxiety medications and 2 of my blood pressure medications. March, I was walking 8 miles every other day. June, I had the best blood test result ever. October, I weighed 190 lbs and I was off my other blood pressure medication and sleep medication. Two and 1/2 years after I started. I still weigh the same. I’m walking up to 10 miles every other day. I still eat OMAD. My diet is beef, salmon, eggs, sardines, sauerkraut and two types of kimchi. I will also eat pecans and at times cheese. I supplement with Vitamin D3/K2, magnesium, zinc, sea kelp for iodine, B1, nutritional yeast (for B complex). I drink coffee in the morning and drink electrolyte infused water/green tea throughout the day.
Good luck. Don't give in, do it for yourself and no one else x
@WilliamFluery great I am 48 years old hardly time for myself obese with joint pain and feeling do low everyday just trying to make my kids good persons and successful in their life
I love the whole person care model!! I’ve said that since I worked in outpatient & inpatient mental health facilities. It’s what’s needed. I finally resigned grieving the lack of for human beings. Seeing my mother sick throughout my childhood & her passing at 44 made me realize the importance of caring for the entire person…mind, body & soul.
I can't believe I watched this from start to finish, but I am so happy I did. Dr. Wright is an amazing woman!
Same! I came for the 30 sec hack lol, I’m leaving with knowledge that will benefit the quality of my life and longevity! ❤

I seriously can't believe the amount of people complaining about the length of the podcast YET the overweight world has no problem staring into a black mirror, munching on highly processed foods. Everyone gets the health they deserve
Very true.
I mean, I get that. But I'm watching a video. To watch it, I would be sitting for 2 hours. I don't want to sit for 2 hours. It's unhealthy lol
@@oneslikemeYou don't need to watch the podcast in one sitting, like you said that's unhealthy to be staring at a screen and sitting in one place for that amount of time. Instead of doing that you can break the podcast into chunks take a break after watching for 30 minutes take a break come back and watching another 30 and so on
These are excellent driving videos to listen to.
I actually like Steven’s long videos, because I mostly listen, and do other things while doing so. What becomes counterproductive for me is watching shorter videos, and getting drawn into a spiraling rabbit hole of mostly worthless videos. Steven’s guests are fascinating! I’m enjoying this one, very much.
My great aunt died from smoke inhalation after an accidental house fire at 92. She probably would have lived to well over 100! But she always said the way she stayed young was to surround herself with people of ALL ages so you stay youthful and keep a young mind ❤
😮 Literally my face when she started talking about frozen shoulder. I've been suffering with one for 18 months now after spending thousands seeing osteopaths, massage therapists and physiotherapists because the doctor kept saying there was nothing they could do. I am 54 and have had weight gain, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog and tendonitis. Absolute nightmare! I wish this information had been around 5 years ago. At 48 I was in the best shape of my life, strong, healthy and confident. Menopause destroyed that and I'm now in the worst shape, at the heaviest I've ever been. I'll follow this advice with hope that I'll be able to battle my way back. Thank you for this podcast.
I used to have joint pain until i used David Goggins' signature saying if your mind knows you're not going to quit, your body will adapt. That worked for me , the body adapted and I am doing things i couldn't before and pain is gone.
I just lost my sister a few days ago, due to cancer. So when she was telling that story, i totally relate to her. When you lose someone close to you, it really changes your perpective around life. Aldo i'm 48 i really feel i want to change my career to help people to better there lifes, in a more healthy way, and for there families and loved ones, not to go through the same pain my family is going through now.
Im so sorry for your Loss !
I feel your pain, I lost my brother in law to pancreatic cancer in January, it is just memories now. I distract my attention and thoughts by exercising, walking and also working.
@@arymhansie sorry for your loss.
This woman in an angel! Truly an inspiration for any health professional wannabe or just in general!
Its so rare to find a medical professional who looks at you as whole, as intertwined parts that cant be separeted, as a human, who cares, who thinks about it, who puts effort, energy and that sees that no pacient is the same.
From someone who is loosing faith in doctors and "traditional" healthcare, words cant describe her awesomeness i fear.
I can only draw inspiration from you Doc and hope one day ill be half the professional you are!
Dr Vonda is right about sedentary death. As a doctor I’ve never been sedentary, having to walk all over the hospital to see my patients. Then in December 2022 I decided to try a “work from home” job where I sat at my desk for most of 8 hours. Even though I continued to do the SAME exercise as when I was working in the hospital, I developed back aches and over the course of 13 months, I gained 13 pounds! And I’d NEVER been able to gain weight previously, being borderline underweight my whole life. I quit that job and went back to working in a hospital. I dropped the 13 pounds in less than 2 months! And my backaches disappeared. My conclusion from that year sitting at home is that desk work is an unnatural state of being for humans, and episodic movement trumps one hour of exercise at the start or end of the day. It’s unfortunate that most of us are trained to believe that doing desk work for 40 years is natural. It’s a slow death. As Dr Vonda says, no wonder many people get sick and die soon after they retire from these awful sitting jobs. Great interview! 🙏
Thank you Dr Amina
It starts in the brain. If you’re relatively healthy at any age and focus on your health through diet and regular movement you may prolong your life.
Eat healthy.
Keep moving.
Thrive and enjoy life as long as possible!
71 years here and determined to keep moving. 💪🏼
What a kind, caring, compassionate women this doctor is.
I have shared this podcast with all the women in my life. I am motivated to do better....will definitely watch this AGAIN!
I watch a woman in a group called gymnastics over 60. There is a woman who posts herself doing bar routines! She 60. Bars are extremely hard on the arms, and works the core like crazy. She is amazing. And the 95 yr old German woman who does levers and planches on parallel bars.
And i thought i was into watching weird shit

What a beautiful soul...her patients must surely be blessed💓
She is a true gift for sure. A hero to her patients.
I would also say she is a believer, because she did quote Esther.
She’s a doll , love her , brilliant advocate for menopausal health also.
This woman is super super smart and top-educated. Best qualified most expert guest you've had. Hands down best information about every aspect of medicine she talked about. A real deal expert. Thank you.
Dr. Vonda Wright. What A beautiful Soul.
These podcasts are the KEYS / HACKS to a healthy life, no joke.
This lady is wise beyond words! How much protein? Considering the patients life stressors…how remarkable!
This episode was so emotional. It made me cry so much. She is such a compassionate doctor. You can hear it in her voice.
The best and most fun way to add speed, agility and balance to your training regimen is not run an agility course in the gym but to play tennis regularly.
Just when I thought you had brought all the top guests then, Dr Voda came along. One of the best conversations ever.......she covered so much. Thank you Steven and the Team for a job well done!
I really enjoyed this talk, I don't understand why would you want to skip 2 hours of this great, positive doctor talking about health. I'm very grateful to have the opportunity to listen for free about her knowledge that she shares, since I live on the other side of the globe. Come on, don't skip what she has to say, she is great...
Thank you! Great information! As a nurse for over 30 years, I can totally relate to everything Dr Vonda Wright is saying. I am a certified operating room nurse and a certified holistic nurse. I believe some surgical procedures are needed but it is most important to take care of the whole person; mind, body, and soul. You are what you eat. Many procedures and medications can be avoided by eliminating sugar and processed foods and incorporating exercise in daily routine. Maintaining connections with family and friends is also very important.
I LOVE this episode, thank you! I am 54 and just started getting well and feeling better again since November 2023 after doing intermittent fasting and extended fasting alongside my Mondays and Thursdays dry fasting, weekly Zumba, morning walks, tabata and resistance training, after watching hours of your episodes with Drs Jason Fung, Mindy Pelz, Mary Claire Haver and many more. I learned so much from their individual channels too. Dr Vonda Wright has definitely made me more diligent with my weight training and it's helped me feel stronger. I have gone down from size 2xl-3xl to practically M now, and my blood pressure is consistently within 110/70 - 120/80 instead of the nagging 135/85 - 140/90 before. I still have stiffness in my knees which started about 2-3years ago, making me have to do my prayers seated on a chair instead of the normal way. But these days I am able to alternate praying the normal way and seated on a chair, Alhamdulillah, yayyyy!!! It's a work in progress and I'm keeping at it, InsyaaAllah ❤. I eat well and clean too now, completely off sugar, regulating carbs and focusing more on vegetables, fibers, proteins, probiotics, all with real whole foods. Oh, and I LOVE your episode about coffee with James Hoffman too, I now enjoy filtered coffee. Oh, and I also definitely LOVE your session with the Glucose Goddess! I have shared your episodes on my socials with family and friends. Many are still not willing to make the change even though they can see the changes I've achieved these past 9 months. But I will keep on sharing and encouraging, InsyaaAllah. Thank you for DOAC, God bless ❤
Alhamdolillah
I have so far watched 23 minutes of this podcast with Vonda Wright and find it refreshing to hear a Dr speak with so much emotion when she speaks of the patient's she cared for during her formative years as an aspiring academic and nurse.
Listening to her years of experience and her wanting to look after the whole person as opposed to the orthopedic part of the body that has gone wrong, gives me confidence that out there somewhere, there are those clinicians with the same mindset.
This podcast is definitely worth watching to the end, especially if, as an individual, you experience a degree of frailty as I currently experience. The shoulder pain she mentioned is exactly as described.
Thanks for the podcast
True story. I had a stand up desk at the office and would stand 40 hours a week at work. Then, I started working from home... and then sat most my time while working at home. My health deteriorated QUICKLY! I ended up getting hypoxia, inability to keep my O2 above 88, and I have been hospitalized 4 times since --- I mean, what she is saying is all so true! Your health is everything. Do not live a sedentary life, movement... is... life!
The striking thought from most of your videos, and highlighted by this episode is; I start listening because i dont want to miss an episode. Don't know if this will interest me enough to listen for 90 minutes. Then be absolutely fascinated. Great guest, thank you both.
Wow, thank you!
Biggest take away so far: the biggest hurdle in your health is self worth related. “Do I believe I am worthy of the daily commitment to my health or is everything else more important than me?” Soooo good! This hit so hard I felt it in my soul!! 🙌🙌🙌
I gained 50lbs in a very short amount of time after never being fat and oh my god, it’s so heavy. I can feel every pound and everything makes me tired because of the extra effort I have to apply to everything I do. I now understand how people feel like they can’t shift weight. I’m currently trying to get rid of it and once it’s gone, I’ll never allow this to happen to me again!
Same with me. Never been overweight like I am now. Thank you menopause 😫
Life is a struggle, but watching videos like this helps with learning how to improve myself when what I’ve always done doesn’t work anymore.
I believe this after my heart attack I started working out and eating healthy and it changed my life. Jesus I PRAISE you! Lord give me strength I’m struggling providing for my children. I’m so discouraged but I will keep faith because faith is all I have left! I suffer from lupus, and heart disease. I have two beautiful boys both are special needs. I’m overwhelmed because they require so much from me. Every month is a struggle to not end up on the streets. Lord help me provide for my children. Give me strength while I struggle to buy groceries and while, I struggle pay rent. Father grant me strength.
being healthy made you healthy? what a suprise
@@krusher74yes, it maybe hard to believe but some people don’t know much about health choices until they go through sickness/disease then they can understand working out and healthy eating
Bless your heart, sister. I immediately prayed for you, in Jesus name. Please pray I Thessalonians 5:23 over yourself. Paste it on your mirrors, walls to confess daily. The word of God works. Blessings😊
What workout do you do and what do you eat so it's healthy
What a truly caring and servant hearted person. Really appreciated this!
Your health is like your pension, you need to be investing in it when you are younger. You are never too young to start and you shouldn't leave it too late.
So true and well said, if I read nothing else today I will be wiser than yesterday for your statement. 🎯
