When I was 60 I weighed 310, was on 7 meds and needed a cane. At 68, after 5 years of high protein keto, I weigh 205 (at 6-2), I’m on no meds except TRT, bench and squat 315 and do weighted pull up (45 Lb dumb bell between my feet) and avoided a back surgery scheduled 6 years ago. Anyone can do this! People think I’m a super fit 50!
Well done! This brings me joy. I’m 63, lift heavy, prioritize protein, ride a big motorcycle, hike and camp, and live a really great life. I feel decades younger. I have autoimmune conditions that are in remission. I’m so grateful. I truly believe that it’s never too late.
I lost 104 lbs in a year, WALKING/KETO/FASTING, & people telling me "don't lose any more weight" that only knew me as a fatass. Getting shredded & it bothers people. WHY?
Jealous and unwilling to change. They don’t like the in your face needing to make a change too. I’m face the same thing. Its not worth going back to the inflammation and pain! Be healthy, stay proud!💜🎉
It forces them to look at themselves and their own habits, and that's something most people are scared to do. If everyone is a fatass in a group of people, no one has to evaluate. 8f one or more people start getting in shape, everyone else has some thinking to do. Don't worry about it, most people won't hate you for it, but some definitely will.
Misery loves company. If you get fit when you use to be fat, this makes them feel bad cause they're fat too and aren't willing to put in the work you did
At 75, I am old enough to remember that about the time fat phobia became the norm, a second lie to the effect that elderly needed to limit protein to protect the liver was circulating. Happily I am loosing weight with homegrown milk kefir and sauerkraut. The weight loss accelerated with intermittent fasting.
Goatmilk? I’m wondering about clabbering goatmilk vs cow milk Never done it, not sure it will do it vs actually spoiling lol Raw cow milk never spoils, it just gets sour-er but diesnt actually cause illness like spoiled dead (pasteurized) milk I hope goatmilk does the same!
@@YeshuaKingMessiah milk kefir is made with probiotic grains added to the milk and then strained out after they process the milk into what is sometimes called drinkable yogurt. It is my understanding that clabbered milk starts with raw milk and allows the natural enzymes to thicken and sour the milk. Homogenized milk simply goes bad. Kefir grains are stored in milk and refrigerated between batches. They grow and produce kefir for years if properly maintained. In that sense, they are like a kombucha scoby, but with a much greater number of good bacterial strains.
I was 5.4 feet and weighted 115-117 during my young years, consistently and stable.(show on ID) Now I am 70, weight 109-110, height still 5.4 feet (per doctor office). My height remain same. My weight drop a bit could be because I retired in 2021 and have plenty of time to daily walk, and swimming. These are the activities I do all my life long, long fast walking daily, swimming and hit the ball at tennis court. This also helps me sleep well 8 hours everyday. I eat a lot but good food . No restrictions on healthy foods, no portions control, however I fast daily 16 to 18 hours and during feeding time I don't restrict on calories. My weight stable at 109-110 always in the morning. Still wearing bikini at the pool and beaches. Definitely a good diet and consistently active really help during aging process. But you have to form that habit since the young years. Yes, I have seen most aging people become fat, unhealthy living on drugs and/or shrink in size to be shorter.
I went Keto at 69 and lost 75lbs and my pot belly. This last holidays I went crazy and gained 20lbs, and I'm working hard to lose the new abdominal fat that is really stubborn. I hope to start exercising tomorrow and get back in shape by November when I hope to reach 75.
Convinced my mum to do carnivore with me a couple years ago and she dropped a weight and improved her ability to move and diminish pain. Recently I noticed she was skipping many meals, replacing them with coffee, either not wanting to eat or forgetting to. Her pain increased and movement decreased, her mood and focus dropped. She started doing weights and high resistance cycling, all that stopped or decreased and weight loss plateaued. She’s 72. Only about 2 weeks ago I noticed and asked her to follow a high protein diet and make sure she wasn’t under eating - as her calories were equating to less than 1000 a day sometimes! I asked her to swap her afternoon coffees for decaf and and whey protein shakes and also started her lifting weights again. Within 2 weeks her mood, cognition, sleep has all improved. Pain has reduced and mobility increased. She doesn’t wake up tired or sore and has increased her resistance on the bike by double! She looks forward to meals too. Her physio was so impressed with he change that occurred in only 3 weeks from her last appointment - I said I really believe it to be the protein and enough calories form the right foods. We aim for around 150gram of protein a day and it’s been amazing seeing her improve so quickly!
I'm 68 and recently discovered that I was eating less than a quarter of the amount of protein I need. I had been protein deficient for years. The first week I started eating more protein, I gained 4 pounds, but after that, I started losing weight. I still have a hard time getting 150 grams, which is my goal, but sometimes I can get 125.
I was always afraid to consume too much protein because it beefed me up. I like to be long and lean. I am a runner. I like to eat fruit, and if I consume the amount of protein these people are talking about, I cannot enjoy my fruit. I will gain weight. I mostly eat salads with fish or egg whites for dinner. And I like to eat my fruit I like papaya, I eat a couple pounds of red grapes, every single day, lots of raw almonds, and papaya and watermelon If I went on the carnivore diet, I would miss fruit. And I feel like I would be too sluggish to do long runs. 🏃♀
150 grams of protein is absurd. I only take 120 and I am a 70 kilogram 180cm tall male. Unless your mom has some sort of nutrient deficiency issue, 100grams should be fine.
I’m living with my mom now, who’s 93. She still putters around in the garden a couple of hours a day, pulling up weeds, picking up sticks, watering the flowers… winters are tough though.
Mike brings these critically important studies forward and marries the science with tactical take-aways. Thank you for another excellent program just slow down the bod-rate a bit so we can absorb every detail. This is a must watch at least twice.
Maybe he wouldn't need to take so many breaths if he slowed down the talk a bit. It was starting to get real distracting hearing him breathing so loudly.
I take an antipsychotic daily and am plateaued at 25 pounds overweight. Do low carb, strength training and intermittent fasting but can't lose that last bit of body fat. I will never give up. At 50 I can roller skate, bike, swim, walk 6 miles. Feel good.
I have seen this in my dad, who was a distance hiker and worked very physical jobs. He ate too much, and, after a major injury which forced him into retirement, he suffered so much atrophy. His breathing problems increased too, which became another limiting factor. Now my mom is right there with him, though she's been pudgy most of her adult life, because he kept her quarantined with him because of an infection that he couldn't kick. She's been trying to not just sit, and she encourages him to move as well. It has been a sobering view that, while I can still move fairly well and like to move, and I have no medicated health concerns, my weight is a ticking time bomb. I appreciate good information that can help me, and maybe others in my family, achieve better health, rather than short sighted pushes to get us all on meds.
I too watch my parents decline as non active retirees. Thus has spurred me in my early 60 to wrestle the beast of resistance training and what a difference it’s making. Start today ! You’ll thank yourself !
These are the types of things people should be actually studying when preparing to become a Board Certified Health and Wellness coach - and honestly, just to live a better life! Thank you so much.
I'm 69 at 150.0 lbs at 5'6". I've noticed that If I take in between 170 to 180 grams of protein, my weight will decrease quicker. I also walk 10k every day if I can. I'm now about 12% body fat. I also have been doing resistance training 4 days a week for the past 47 years. My youtube videos show were I am with my physic. My sister is a year older than I am and she is in a nursing home in a wheel chair from diabetes.
Hey, thanks for addressing my review of the Electrolyte STIX. I'm happy to hear you're coming out with an unsweetened version. I also love the large container!
I am 66 but my metabolic age is 51 as evaluates in my gym. Been walking 4-6 miles a day and gym usually twice a week ..for the last 23 years. Weight is good 100lbs for 5ft height. Its a good life :)
"Older" guy here: Lots of good info, but...I wish more people realized that you don't have to exercise 5 times per week to stay in shape. I manage on just 10 workouts per month, and I'm in better shape now than I was 25 years ago (see link below) and I worked out WAY harder back then. I truly believe that 90% of "fitness" boils down to tracking (and improving) what you put in your mouth...I eat almost ZERO processed food...no sodas, no booze (quite drinking alcohol in 1991), nearly every ounce of food is organic and "whole" (eggs, blueberries, quinoa, broccoli, chicken, hamburger, etc), and the food is prepared at home. So, here's the basic summary: I'm 53 years old, height is 5' 5," I exercise 1 day on, 2 days off (10 workouts total per month), and nearly all workouts take less than 30 minutes. Of the 10 total workouts, only 4 of them are "free weight" workouts (1 is squat day, 1 is chest day, 1 is deadlift day, 1 is biceps/triceps.) Usually, I only do 5 or 6 sets during a free-weight workout, and only a couple of those sets are "working sets." The other 6 monthly workouts consist of bodyweight exercises (My bodyweight workouts = 12 sets TOTAL, a mix of different exercises; a couple sets of pullups, push ups, bodyweight squats / lunges, planks, leg raises, maybe a set of burpees every now and then, etc.) This has been my routine for years; my weight and body composition are stable. (I feel slightly "spongy" at 144lbs, I feel "lean" at 139lbs.) I recently started taking some 30-minute-treadmill walks (zone 2), but that really doesn't feel like exercise to me. (I can sweat more by banging on the drums for 15 minutes.) Hope this info inspires some of you who want to "get and stay fit," but are worried you'll have to "live at the gym" to do it. Here's the 28-year-old me VS 53-year-old comparison: th-cam.com/video/wYHURF33tu4/w-d-xo.html
Since we moved England, I gained weight so I started doing intermittent fasting, taking berberine, and other vitamins, do 100 jumping jack in the morning and some other exercises just at home. It's quite difficult to loose weights at 55. From 58 kg I am now 55.50. Getting there.. So painful lol
Reduce carbs (to less then 60g per day, i.e. mostly vegetables) and remove sugar and plant seed oils completely (except olive oil), increase protein and animal fat. It's better to loose your weight slowly.
So, I've made serious changes in my life in response to damage caused by a few medications I took/take. I cut out almost all sugar. I added D3 5000 IU. Magnesium, zinc, multivit., upped my water, prioritized my sleep, started on TRT, and after 7 years of being unable to workout, all these changes made it possible. I can finally work out! I had already lost 50 lbs. just by cutting out the sugar. I've made each small change, one at a time. I've recently started walking to and from work and doubled my protein (unflavored and unsweetened). I've put on 11 lbs. of muscle in about 5 months with just a little extra effort. I'm 49, and finally healing the damage done to me...simply by ignoring the gurus and going with the REPLICABLE science.
Thank you for your content. I’m making a steak and eggs for lunch as I’m listening to this. I do I.F. daily. Low carb/low sugar. Plus calisthenics and walking with a weight vest. It’s that simple. And yet I see this morning on the news that they’re pushing weight loss drugs on teenagers.
This is very important information. I’ve been listening to others speak about the importance of proteins as we age, and strength, training for muscle, strength and mass. Thank you.
Thank you for your dedication to helping the community! I just ordered the electrolyte stix for myself and my father, along with the DHEA. All of the reviews are phenomenal for the myoxcience products, I’m excited to try these.
Keep your flexibility. As a 53 yr old, muscle building is easy, but slowed from injuries, if i was more flexible, i am sure that it not slowed as much. It takes a fair bit to regain flexibility, especially if you are trying to gain strength/muscle as well
I’m laughing (uncomfortably at myself) for lifting and never taking the time to work on flexibility. Heading towards 51 and starting to notice this very issue now.
@@Thatguyisnice-yf5nx yeah I am gradually getting more flexible. It's a lot more difficult as you get older, and if you decide to build muscle/strength, not being flexible will impede that, and gaining muscle/strength will make you sore impeding your ability to improve your flexibility. If people are losing muscle/strength but keep something like yoga up, when they try to regain muscle/strength it will be a lot easier
The Haes movement points out that whether you’re a size 24 or a size 4, you should exercise every day or make “healthier” food choices; not with the sole focus of losing weight but because it’s beneficial to your health and should be a lifelong enjoyable habit.
Because of Carbon14 having our cells&DNA in constant decay, protein becomes thee most valuable nutrient for humans. Fatty proteins (animal products) are superior when it comes to also fueling the brain
You are correct in that the acronym Haes stands for Health At Every Size, but you described it as if it stands for healthy at every size, which it does not.
Love your videos! I wish doctors would inform all their patients of how to eat healthy and live active, healthy lives. Sadly, doctors are not educated in nutrition and preventive care. They are versed in disease and drugs. Most people are so uninformed and ignorant of the power they have to become healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Mainstream medicine and mainstream media in general do not promote it. . Hard to fight a system that’s driven by money and greed.
Haes doesn’t tell people to be fat or that being fat is healthy; the movement just reconciles the fact that some people have bigger bodies and despite this we all deserve respect and in turn we all deserve to treat our bodies with respect, kindness, and love.
What's also depressing is when you've finally started working out just as your healthier friends have quit for whatever reason and you're watching them go to seed as you're improving.
Yesterday, I was at a store and there was this big dude maybe 250 plus using a walker trying to get upstairs (there are no elevators), he might have been 60 plus, I helped him all the way upstairs but he could not have done without me. I teared up because I felt his pain in not being able to do it on his own, I don't want to see myself in this situation ever, if it is up to me, I will walk, I will exercise and get healthier (of course unless you are in an accident then it is not your fault).
Nothing wrong with pizza and beer in moderation and if you are active, it's doing it several times a week while sitting on the couch that puts on the weight. I'm down 10 lbs in a few months while still eating pizza and having a beer once or twice a week. You can also learn how to make your own lower-cal pizzas.
I started Carnivore strictly 2 weeks ago. I’m going until I lose 30 lbs. I had blood work done 2 weeks ago… oh I can’t wait to have it tested again in three months to see the direct result of the diet. And I am on a Staten low-dose.

Recap by Tammy AI
*yeah, protein is so important for fat loss and more! I've had clients who on days have less than 30g... crazy. They wonder why they are tired no energy etc. Most give up and don't even want to help themselves; it is really sad and depressing...* 💪👍
Look at the upside down food pyramid and all the soy and sugar being crammed into everything and try to tell yourself it wasn't deliberate sabotage of society.
I was confused about HAES too. It's actually about weight stigma and obese/overweight people being able to seek healthcare and support - not insisting that people can be healthy at any size. Many doctors are hostile towards patients if they are of size.
I discussed DHEA with Finland's leading urologist. He said that there's ZERO research to support its usage, and also that NONE of his patients who have tried it have benefited of it. Not very promising I would say.
I walk my dog every morning. I pass a cafe and a bakery. I see a lot of obese and overweight people go in those places. If someone wakes up in the morning and knows they have a weight problem I have no idea why get in their car, drive to either place, and proceed to eat this crap.
It's sugar and carb addiction. They've either given up or don't know a way out of the lifestyle, so they seek comfort food. Been there, done that. Never going back.
@@Robnord1 Agreed. I’m guessing they have an addiction that is powerful enough to make them want to overindulged in overeating. Even years ago when I had extra weight I flat out decided not to overeat. I hear you on not going back, it has been years and I have zero intention of ever going back.
You really have to want to make the change. It took me years before I finally got serious about breaking my soda addiction, to my surprise I did it in only three months. Now I drink about a gallon of water a day instead. Go figure one of the things that finally got me to do it was seeing 24-packs rocket up to $12 during this hyperinflationary phase.
It's been hard for me to switch my brain from "calorie counting" (which I did for Y.E.A.R.S.!) to "eat protein and lift heavy to be healthy"...so far I've dropped 60# and can deadlift 125# (my goal is 200#). Not bad for 61 years old. I probably have 30 or 40 more pounds to lose but I feel so much better--I can be patient. I take no medications and my bloodwork is perfect.
I saw a guy the other day just chug a 2 liter of Mountain Dew, I mean he took the whole thing to the head. I’m think what is his body ever done to him to hurt it like that?
Love your videos! Extremely important information, you are spot on about resistance training while loosing weight. I wish I had heard and focused on resistance training when I changed to a healthier eating plan. Lost a lot of muscle loosing 40 lbs. I am working hard to get it back. Trying to eat more protein also.
I like the content of these videos, I really struggle with the pace you go at though, and you tube slowed to x0.75 sounds weird... You've mastered being able to talk and breathe without it being noticeable. Take a pause now and again Mike, it's pretty relentless!!
@@zerrodefex He's always had issues with audio going back to late 2019 when I first started watching, his mic stand would always fall away or feedback etc... There's great info as I say in there but written down there would be almost zero commas or full stops (periods?)... These are technical/scientific subjects he's discussing and it can take time to absorb. I have an MSc btw so it's not a case of being too thick to understand it. If this was an oral presentation at Uni the lecturers would have halted him!!
Train with heavy weight to failure. I like the mike mentzer methods. I need to wait till I fully heal from open inguinal hernia surgery, second time around. There are complications. So no squats. 😢
The Haes movement does not encourage being fat; more so accepting that different body sizes exist and accepting the one you’re in instead of trying to be a size you’re not genetically capable of.
For me it’s hormone Imbalance I’m so fed up I do interment fasting I eat good and I can’t loos weight I do have menopause ,and fybromyalgia and also MS I had disastais recki operation last year 😢and the docter did it wrong and cut threw my nerves .and he left my belly big I called him but he don’t want to know ,,,,,,,, I’m fed up wit everything 😢😢😢😢😢
fast walk for 7 miles with 11 lb weight vest tonight. Weight lifting tomorrow morning.. 59 year old lady.. feel great with keto/carnivore and exercising 3 to 4 days a week for the past 4.5 years.
How can you ASSUME that 60 yr old at the beach didn't have an underlying condition instead of simple age related deterioration. Maybe she had just completed knee or hip surgery, etc.
He probably saw she was vastly overweight. That doesnt happen from just a surgery. Also many knee/hip problems are a result of overweight. At 60 she shoukd not already be showing age deterioration! Thats young!
At 58 I had a knee replacement, It was getting harder to exercise before surgery, but still walked and swam laps. I went Keto with high protein with lots of green vegetables to get to my correct weight ahead of surgery, knowing I wouldn’t be as active. I never gained weight after surgery, as I had established a healthy eating routine ahead of surgery and continued it after wards to stay healthy. I also realized that more weight on my knee would make pain worse after surgery. Other health issues shouldn’t be an excuse not to eat healthy. I have found eating correctly will have the biggest impact on getting and keeping a healthy body weight. Have been through 4 knee surgeries and doing this made it much easier as I gradually healed and increased my daily exercise.
The Haes movement encourages healthy choices no matter your size as well as debunking myths perpetuated by diet culture, such as being skinny = being healthy. We probably all know someone who eats terribly and doesn’t exercise and yet, they are thin.
I we see so many senior citizens (like me at 72) doing cardio only, no resistance training in my gym. Personally I never use machines but free weights only. They look like stick figures and no convincing them otherwise. Informative video by the Way.
Kettlebell and heavy club work don't make me sexy, but they make me vigorous. I stopped doing the work with bands. I may go back to that as well, or I may do some pec deck, etc.
I need prioritize resistance training. I love riding bicycle so that is really enjoyable for me. I have been using resistance bands. I have lost 30 pounds in the 2.5 months. Thank you Mike! I could really use a Fauci imitation however 😅
I prefer to do strength training after I do some cardio. When I do strength training first, and then my intentions are to go for a run or get on my bike afterwards… I’m always too tired. I like to get energized with cardio first and then do strength training. 🏃♀
Just cycle 20 miles a day and watch the refined carbs...that does it....(well for me it does)...(if you can) 😊👍(there are lots of other ways but if your a moovin' ...youre a grooving...😊...
Doctor Mike, is biking equal to walking in the benefits you describe? I’ve got an issue with my hip-long story short-that makes biking easier to take. Thank you 🙏 and greetings from an American 🇺🇸 expatriate in Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼!
Lower reps build more strength, higher reps more size. Nothing stopping you from having low-rep days and high-rep days in the same week though or doing a low-rep set and then doing the rest high-rep at lower weight to get a mix of stimuli. Not a bad idea also because tendons benefit from high-rep low-weight as well.
The capillary thing mentioned & others mentioned, muscle, mitochondria, etc. Is that root cause why so many elders I see have altered gait and walk slowly with a cane or have to sit down frequently between walking attempts? And these people don't look obese. Despite past walking frequently, though she probably sat for hours in front of TV, my mother in 80s has the preceding. I've never seen any MD successfully treat this.
This is so good I was a vegan and sure I got Vann and I was a runner and then what happens is I I got injured which happens and I got away from any kind of a diet while I was recovering kind of dumb gain 20 pounds for now I’m running again and try to get it back off by like you’re saying that’s 60s hard and I’ve totally change my diet eating a meets an animal Center diet now with some veggies and that kind of stuff but animal centered and feel better you know the religion of veganism is out there and it’s just kind of convinces people specially athletes in the running and biking and triathlon. Space edit love you video. Thanks this is good.

I like to eat fruit, and if I consume the amount of protein these people are talking about, I cannot enjoy my fruit. I will gain weight. I mostly eat salads with fish or egg whites for dinner. And I like to eat my fruit I like papaya, I eat a couple pounds of red grapes, every single day, lots of raw almonds, and papaya and watermelon If I went on the carnivore diet, I would miss fruit. And I feel like I would be too sluggish to do long runs. 🏃♀
150 grams of protein is absurd. I only take 120 and I am a 70 kilogram 180cm tall male. Unless your mom has some sort of nutrient deficiency issue, 100grams should be fine.
I’m living with my mom now, who’s 93. She still putters around in the garden a couple of hours a day, pulling up weeds, picking up sticks, watering the flowers… winters are tough though.
Find a place for her to get in a pool in the winter, if she's up for it. Maybe intersperse with walking at a store or something, or chair exercises.
I keep hearing people say that old people have less appetite but where where?? Where are these old people with less appetite?? That's not what I see
Mike brings these critically important studies forward and marries the science with tactical take-aways. Thank you for another excellent program just slow down the bod-rate a bit so we can absorb every detail. This is a must watch at least twice.
Maybe he wouldn't need to take so many breaths if he slowed down the talk a bit. It was starting to get real distracting hearing him breathing so loudly.
He marries them well…
And they didn’t have to go to City Hall ⛪️ 👰♀️🤵♂️
I take an antipsychotic daily and am plateaued at 25 pounds overweight. Do low carb, strength training and intermittent fasting but can't lose that last bit of body fat. I will never give up. At 50 I can roller skate, bike, swim, walk 6 miles. Feel good.
I have seen this in my dad, who was a distance hiker and worked very physical jobs. He ate too much, and, after a major injury which forced him into retirement, he suffered so much atrophy. His breathing problems increased too, which became another limiting factor. Now my mom is right there with him, though she's been pudgy most of her adult life, because he kept her quarantined with him because of an infection that he couldn't kick. She's been trying to not just sit, and she encourages him to move as well.
It has been a sobering view that, while I can still move fairly well and like to move, and I have no medicated health concerns, my weight is a ticking time bomb.
I appreciate good information that can help me, and maybe others in my family, achieve better health, rather than short sighted pushes to get us all on meds.
I too watch my parents decline as non active retirees. Thus has spurred me in my early 60 to wrestle the beast of resistance training and what a difference it’s making. Start today ! You’ll thank yourself !
@@LK-jn4uj I appreciate the encouragement.
These are the types of things people should be actually studying when preparing to become a Board Certified Health and Wellness coach - and honestly, just to live a better life! Thank you so much.
Walked 10,000 steps and ate 250 grams of protein today. Doing my part 😃
I'm 69 at 150.0 lbs at 5'6". I've noticed that If I take in between 170 to 180 grams of protein, my weight will decrease quicker. I also walk 10k every day if I can. I'm now about 12% body fat. I also have been doing resistance training 4 days a week for the past 47 years. My youtube videos show were I am with my physic. My sister is a year older than I am and she is in a nursing home in a wheel chair from diabetes.
How do you determine your body fat percentage?

Man your living well!
Hey, thanks for addressing my review of the Electrolyte STIX. I'm happy to hear you're coming out with an unsweetened version. I also love the large container!
I am 66 but my metabolic age is 51 as evaluates in my gym. Been walking 4-6 miles a day and gym usually twice a week ..for the last 23 years. Weight is good 100lbs for 5ft height. Its a good life :)
"Older" guy here: Lots of good info, but...I wish more people realized that you don't have to exercise 5 times per week to stay in shape. I manage on just 10 workouts per month, and I'm in better shape now than I was 25 years ago (see link below) and I worked out WAY harder back then. I truly believe that 90% of "fitness" boils down to tracking (and improving) what you put in your mouth...I eat almost ZERO processed food...no sodas, no booze (quite drinking alcohol in 1991), nearly every ounce of food is organic and "whole" (eggs, blueberries, quinoa, broccoli, chicken, hamburger, etc), and the food is prepared at home.
So, here's the basic summary: I'm 53 years old, height is 5' 5," I exercise 1 day on, 2 days off (10 workouts total per month), and nearly all workouts take less than 30 minutes. Of the 10 total workouts, only 4 of them are "free weight" workouts (1 is squat day, 1 is chest day, 1 is deadlift day, 1 is biceps/triceps.) Usually, I only do 5 or 6 sets during a free-weight workout, and only a couple of those sets are "working sets."
The other 6 monthly workouts consist of bodyweight exercises (My bodyweight workouts = 12 sets TOTAL, a mix of different exercises; a couple sets of pullups, push ups, bodyweight squats / lunges, planks, leg raises, maybe a set of burpees every now and then, etc.)
This has been my routine for years; my weight and body composition are stable. (I feel slightly "spongy" at 144lbs, I feel "lean" at 139lbs.) I recently started taking some 30-minute-treadmill walks (zone 2), but that really doesn't feel like exercise to me. (I can sweat more by banging on the drums for 15 minutes.)
Hope this info inspires some of you who want to "get and stay fit," but are worried you'll have to "live at the gym" to do it. Here's the 28-year-old me VS 53-year-old comparison: th-cam.com/video/wYHURF33tu4/w-d-xo.html
Since we moved England, I gained weight so I started doing intermittent fasting, taking berberine, and other vitamins, do 100 jumping jack in the morning and some other exercises just at home. It's quite difficult to loose weights at 55. From 58 kg I am now 55.50. Getting there.. So painful lol
Prioritize, protein, control, carbs read Ben Beckman’s book
Reduce carbs (to less then 60g per day, i.e. mostly vegetables) and remove sugar and plant seed oils completely (except olive oil), increase protein and animal fat. It's better to loose your weight slowly.
At that latitude you will need to really focus on your circadian rhythm. Lots of sunshine and probably cold therapy.
YES! I have been waiting for the unsweetened version of Electrolyte Stix. Thank you.
Love the studies you bring up on here. The editing is much appreciated to be able to read along with you.😊
So, I've made serious changes in my life in response to damage caused by a few medications I took/take. I cut out almost all sugar. I added D3 5000 IU. Magnesium, zinc, multivit., upped my water, prioritized my sleep, started on TRT, and after 7 years of being unable to workout, all these changes made it possible. I can finally work out! I had already lost 50 lbs. just by cutting out the sugar.
I've made each small change, one at a time. I've recently started walking to and from work and doubled my protein (unflavored and unsweetened). I've put on 11 lbs. of muscle in about 5 months with just a little extra effort. I'm 49, and finally healing the damage done to me...simply by ignoring the gurus and going with the REPLICABLE science.
Always offer a lot of great information to absorb. I understand about 1/2 of what you say, BUT it forces me to learn and grow. 🙏
Thank you for your content. I’m making a steak and eggs for lunch as I’m listening to this. I do I.F. daily. Low carb/low sugar. Plus calisthenics and walking with a weight vest. It’s that simple. And yet I see this morning on the news that they’re pushing weight loss drugs on teenagers.
Oh no, that is horrible! I despise the pharmaceutical companies these days!
@@Julia29853 now look into how much they are behind the big push trying to get minors to get "affirming" surgery and you can truly despise big pharma.
Goddamn big pharma.
Great video! Sharing with all my venti starbucks drinker friends and family lol loved that call out in particular with all the scientific data.
Ive started allowing myself coffees again if out and rly would like one
But SMALL only and as SF as possible
(ie from a gas station)
This is very important information. I’ve been listening to others speak about the importance of proteins as we age, and strength, training for muscle, strength and mass. Thank you.
Thank you for your dedication to helping the community! I just ordered the electrolyte stix for myself and my father, along with the DHEA. All of the reviews are phenomenal for the myoxcience products, I’m excited to try these.
We need a day in the life of you Mike.
Keep your flexibility. As a 53 yr old, muscle building is easy, but slowed from injuries, if i was more flexible, i am sure that it not slowed as much. It takes a fair bit to regain flexibility, especially if you are trying to gain strength/muscle as well
I’m laughing (uncomfortably at myself) for lifting and never taking the time to work on flexibility. Heading towards 51 and starting to notice this very issue now.
Try Bikram yoga or some kind of stretching routine.
@@Thatguyisnice-yf5nx yeah I am gradually getting more flexible. It's a lot more difficult as you get older, and if you decide to build muscle/strength, not being flexible will impede that, and gaining muscle/strength will make you sore impeding your ability to improve your flexibility. If people are losing muscle/strength but keep something like yoga up, when they try to regain muscle/strength it will be a lot easier
Training, muscles and criticism of "healthy at every size". This must be a far-right channel. 😁
😂😂😂😂😂
Everything that's good for you is "far-right" now, that's how desperate they are for us to willing march into their "you'll own nothing" agenda.
Every once in a while, I'll hear my doctor quote the information you've shared ❤
The Haes movement points out that whether you’re a size 24 or a size 4, you should exercise every day or make “healthier” food choices; not with the sole focus of losing weight but because it’s beneficial to your health and should be a lifelong enjoyable habit.
Because of Carbon14 having our cells&DNA in constant decay, protein becomes thee most valuable nutrient for humans. Fatty proteins (animal products) are superior when it comes to also fueling the brain
You are correct in that the acronym Haes stands for Health At Every Size, but you described it as if it stands for healthy at every size, which it does not.
Still LEARNING! Thanks for the info. Adding protein to my low carb diet along with more weight training.
Love your videos! I wish doctors would inform all their patients of how to eat healthy and live active, healthy lives. Sadly, doctors are not educated in nutrition and preventive care. They are versed in disease and drugs. Most people are so uninformed and ignorant of the power they have to become healthy and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Mainstream medicine and mainstream media in general do not promote it. . Hard to fight a system that’s driven by money and greed.
The kick backs from the drug companies are worth more to dr’s than telling someone to exercise properly and eat properly.
Rockefeller Medicine: Cured patients are lost customers.
@@jimbeam4111 sad but true.
Haes doesn’t tell people to be fat or that being fat is healthy; the movement just reconciles the fact that some people have bigger bodies and despite this we all deserve respect and in turn we all deserve to treat our bodies with respect, kindness, and love.
Everything you said is what I follow however I have added cacao to my diet every day in order to loose fatty liver and fat
I am honestly so tired of trying to tell my friends that they need to work out
What's also depressing is when you've finally started working out just as your healthier friends have quit for whatever reason and you're watching them go to seed as you're improving.
Thank you, this is one of the best videos you have done recently, is good to have all the information about the importance of exercise in one video
Yesterday, I was at a store and there was this big dude maybe 250 plus using a walker trying to get upstairs (there are no elevators), he might have been 60 plus, I helped him all the way upstairs but he could not have done without me. I teared up because I felt his pain in not being able to do it on his own, I don't want to see myself in this situation ever, if it is up to me, I will walk, I will exercise and get healthier (of course unless you are in an accident then it is not your fault).
FANTASTIC information and a very clear and concise presentation. Thank youuu!
Pizza and beer is exactly why I put on 20 pounds.
Nothing wrong with pizza and beer in moderation and if you are active, it's doing it several times a week while sitting on the couch that puts on the weight. I'm down 10 lbs in a few months while still eating pizza and having a beer once or twice a week. You can also learn how to make your own lower-cal pizzas.
Great great great videos. I just bought some of the products you recommended. By chance I started listening while on a 2 hour walk.
I started Carnivore strictly 2 weeks ago. I’m going until I lose 30 lbs. I had blood work done 2 weeks ago… oh I can’t wait to have it tested again in three months to see the direct result of the diet. And I am on a Staten low-dose.
Great info thanks Mike.

3:22: 🔑 Hormonal changes with aging can lead to muscle mass loss and fat gain, but these changes can be mitigated through exercise and dietary interventions.
6:41: 💪 Gaining weight can lead to changes in skeletal muscle health, which may precede changes in fat tissue.
10:08: ⚠ Excessive weight gain leads to metabolic consequences due to enlarged fat cells and inflammation.
13:35: 📌 Obesity causes inflammation, liver damage, and changes in muscle tissue.
17:33: 🏋♀ Resistance training is important for preserving muscle tissue and strength, while walking and zone two training helps improve capillary density and nutrient delivery to muscles.
20:49: 💪 Resistance training and a balanced diet are crucial for maintaining the health of the neuromuscular junction and preventing muscle atrophy in older adults with obesity.
24:17: ✅ Combining exercise and diet is the most effective way to improve physical function, prevent ectopic fat deposition, and mitigate aging and obesity-related complications.
Recap by Tammy AI
*yeah, protein is so important for fat loss and more! I've had clients who on days have less than 30g... crazy. They wonder why they are tired no energy etc. Most give up and don't even want to help themselves; it is really sad and depressing...* 💪👍
Look at the upside down food pyramid and all the soy and sugar being crammed into everything and try to tell yourself it wasn't deliberate sabotage of society.

Thank you for sharing this info!!!
Amazing information, as usual. Thank you for what you do.
So basically: Prioritize protein consumption. Focus on strength training. Do compound movements and do Zone 2 cardio?
I was confused about HAES too.
It's actually about weight stigma and obese/overweight people being able to seek healthcare and support - not insisting that people can be healthy at any size. Many doctors are hostile towards patients if they are of size.
I discussed DHEA with Finland's leading urologist. He said that there's ZERO research to support its usage, and also that NONE of his patients who have tried it have benefited of it. Not very promising I would say.
Awesome information Mike!
Keep it rolling brother 🔥💯
I walk my dog every morning. I pass a cafe and a bakery. I see a lot of obese and overweight people go in those places. If someone wakes up in the morning and knows they have a weight problem I have no idea why get in their car, drive to either place, and proceed to eat this crap.
It's sugar and carb addiction. They've either given up or don't know a way out of the lifestyle, so they seek comfort food. Been there, done that. Never going back.
@@Robnord1 Agreed. I’m guessing they have an addiction that is powerful enough to make them want to overindulged in overeating.
Even years ago when I had extra weight I flat out decided not to overeat. I hear you on not going back, it has been years and I have zero intention of ever going back.
You really have to want to make the change. It took me years before I finally got serious about breaking my soda addiction, to my surprise I did it in only three months. Now I drink about a gallon of water a day instead. Go figure one of the things that finally got me to do it was seeing 24-packs rocket up to $12 during this hyperinflationary phase.
@@zerrodefex I think what bugs me most is seeing people struggling to walk from being overweight. I hate watching them suffer.
Addiction
Love this information.
💡
It's been hard for me to switch my brain from "calorie counting" (which I did for Y.E.A.R.S.!) to "eat protein and lift heavy to be healthy"...so far I've dropped 60# and can deadlift 125# (my goal is 200#). Not bad for 61 years old. I probably have 30 or 40 more pounds to lose but I feel so much better--I can be patient. I take no medications and my bloodwork is perfect.
I saw a guy the other day just chug a 2 liter of Mountain Dew, I mean he took the whole thing to the head. I’m think what is his body ever done to him to hurt it like that?
Love your videos! Extremely important information, you are spot on about resistance training while loosing weight. I wish I had heard and focused on resistance training when I changed to a healthier eating plan. Lost a lot of muscle loosing 40 lbs. I am working hard to get it back. Trying to eat more protein also.
I like the content of these videos, I really struggle with the pace you go at though, and you tube slowed to x0.75 sounds weird... You've mastered being able to talk and breathe without it being noticeable. Take a pause now and again Mike, it's pretty relentless!!
I was getting distracted and even somewhat irritated by all of his hard breathing. There has to some way to filter it out on his end.
@@zerrodefex He's always had issues with audio going back to late 2019 when I first started watching, his mic stand would always fall away or feedback etc... There's great info as I say in there but written down there would be almost zero commas or full stops (periods?)... These are technical/scientific subjects he's discussing and it can take time to absorb. I have an MSc btw so it's not a case of being too thick to understand it. If this was an oral presentation at Uni the lecturers would have halted him!!
Train with heavy weight to failure. I like the mike mentzer methods.
I need to wait till I fully heal from open inguinal hernia surgery, second time around. There are complications. So no squats. 😢
Just keep in mind that Mentzer was also heavily juiced.
Lol. Yeah. Just like all the rest. Some of the stuff makes sense, some doesn't . I have my own ideas anyway. Mix and match
The Haes movement does not encourage being fat; more so accepting that different body sizes exist and accepting the one you’re in instead of trying to be a size you’re not genetically capable of.
Thank you Mike
For me it’s hormone Imbalance I’m so fed up I do interment fasting I eat good and I can’t loos weight I do have menopause ,and fybromyalgia and also MS I had disastais recki operation last year 😢and the docter did it wrong and cut threw my nerves .and he left my belly big I called him but he don’t want to know ,,,,,,,, I’m fed up wit everything 😢😢😢😢😢
Great topic! I love the presentation. Very relevant. Thank you.
fast walk for 7 miles with 11 lb weight vest tonight. Weight lifting tomorrow morning.. 59 year old lady.. feel great with keto/carnivore and exercising 3 to 4 days a week for the past 4.5 years.
What kind of weighted vest do you use? I want to find one where i can increase the weight over time but not sure what to get
Another good review, Mike. Thanks!
How can you ASSUME that 60 yr old at the beach didn't have an underlying condition instead of simple age related deterioration. Maybe she had just completed knee or hip surgery, etc.
He probably saw she was vastly overweight. That doesnt happen from just a surgery. Also many knee/hip problems are a result of overweight. At 60 she shoukd not already be showing age deterioration! Thats young!
At 58 I had a knee replacement, It was getting harder to exercise before surgery, but still walked and swam laps. I went Keto with high protein with lots of green vegetables to get to my correct weight ahead of surgery, knowing I wouldn’t be as active. I never gained weight after surgery, as I had established a healthy eating routine ahead of surgery and continued it after wards to stay healthy. I also realized that more weight on my knee would make pain worse after surgery. Other health issues shouldn’t be an excuse not to eat healthy. I have found eating correctly will have the biggest impact on getting and keeping a healthy body weight. Have been through 4 knee surgeries and doing this made it much easier as I gradually healed and increased my daily exercise.
I'm surprised that you didn't whine about him assuming her gender as well.
@@Julia29853 yep usually people end up needing the knee surgery because they've been obese for years already.
@@ginadean5696 Unless you were the woman on the beach none of that matters
Really enjoying all your work 🎉🤘🏼😁💥🤙🏼
You do go a little deep sometimes but I never miss a video. Keep up the great work. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
This is the best health content available
Thank you
Thanks Mike. In my opinion - ONE OF YOUR BEST !!!!
Been bodybuilding naturally since I was 16. I am now 32. Looks like natural bodybuilding is going to give me a leg up later in life 🙂
The Haes movement encourages healthy choices no matter your size as well as debunking myths perpetuated by diet culture, such as being skinny = being healthy. We probably all know someone who eats terribly and doesn’t exercise and yet, they are thin.
So much good info! Thank you for this!
Dhea raised my cortisol @37 with no caffeine. Excessive pit sweating keeps me away
This was a great video.
Wow the protein leverage hypothesis is really taking off now. Dr. Ted Naiman was talking about this very early on.
I we see so many senior citizens (like me at 72) doing cardio only, no resistance training
in my gym. Personally I never use machines but free weights only.
They look like stick figures and no convincing them otherwise. Informative video by the
Way.
Kettlebell and heavy club work don't make me sexy, but they make me vigorous. I stopped doing the work with bands. I may go back to that as well, or I may do some pec deck, etc.
Needs and seeds are protein and DHEA sources too I believe
Thank you a whole lot for more premium content. I do wonder whether I can buy any of the supplements metinoned here since I don't live in the U.S?
I need prioritize resistance training. I love riding bicycle so that is really enjoyable for me.
I have been using resistance bands. I have lost 30 pounds in the 2.5 months.
Thank you Mike! I could really use a Fauci imitation however 😅
I prefer to do strength training after I do some cardio. When I do strength training first, and then my intentions are to go for a run or get on my bike afterwards… I’m always too tired. I like to get energized with cardio first and then do strength training. 🏃♀
We're moving to a better climate so we can walk every day. It's way too hot here in NC!
Awesome info!
Good advice ❤
Just cycle 20 miles a day and watch the refined carbs...that does it....(well for me it does)...(if you can) 😊👍(there are lots of other ways but if your a moovin' ...youre a grooving...😊...
Love this guy 👊🏽
Doctor Mike, is biking equal to walking in the benefits you describe? I’ve got an issue with my hip-long story short-that makes biking easier to take. Thank you 🙏 and greetings from an American 🇺🇸 expatriate in Taipei, Taiwan 🇹🇼!
8-10 reps on compound lifts beats 3-5 reps for longivety. Lower reps makes it difficult to workout every 3 days or 2x per week for me.
Lower reps build more strength, higher reps more size. Nothing stopping you from having low-rep days and high-rep days in the same week though or doing a low-rep set and then doing the rest high-rep at lower weight to get a mix of stimuli. Not a bad idea also because tendons benefit from high-rep low-weight as well.
The capillary thing mentioned & others mentioned, muscle, mitochondria, etc. Is that root cause why so many elders I see have altered gait and walk slowly with a cane or have to sit down frequently between walking attempts? And these people don't look obese. Despite past walking frequently, though she probably sat for hours in front of TV, my mother in 80s has the preceding. I've never seen any MD successfully treat this.
You cannot build or maintain muscle mass by diet. Only physical activity can build and maintain muscle mass. Ozempic won't build muscles, either.
cheers Mike
I’d like to know how they define “diet”. Are they using this word in place of “caloric restriction”?
Can you do a talk on lipedema? And any thoughts you have on treating?
Thank you so much!!
Mike, could you maybe do an overview on Selenium and its risks?
This is so good I was a vegan and sure I got Vann and I was a runner and then what happens is I I got injured which happens and I got away from any kind of a diet while I was recovering kind of dumb gain 20 pounds for now I’m running again and try to get it back off by like you’re saying that’s 60s hard and I’ve totally change my diet eating a meets an animal Center diet now with some veggies and that kind of stuff but animal centered and feel better you know the religion of veganism is out there and it’s just kind of convinces people specially athletes in the running and biking and triathlon. Space edit love you video. Thanks this is good.
