Age with Strength: Doctor's Tips on Benefits of Strength and Resistance Training

Age with Strength: Doctor's Tips on Benefits of Strength and Resistance Training

This week we are going to cover an important topic because I have noticed there is one thing my patients are not doing to keep themselves healthy as they age. So that is why I want to talk about the many benefits of weight and strength training for those in their 40s like me, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc. No matter your age - there are simple things you could be doing to keep you healthy physically and mentally.

To show you these easy exercises, which include weight training and resistance training, I am thrilled to have my daughter Lilly join me this week. So give it a watch and let me know your favorite strength training exercises.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.

I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
