My mom lived to 99. She was bedridden the last seven years of her life. It was awful. She had osteoporosis and her back broke. She didn’t have enough strength to move herself in her wheelchair. There is no damn way my last decade will be like that. I’m turning 70 this year and I am the strongest I have ever been. My dexa scan of my bones shows improvement. Seeing a loved one suffer like Mom did is a powerful motivator.
Hormones have a massive impact on women - need to discuss this more.
I thought I understood health… until I read Re-thinking Health Secret. This book hits hard. It’s one of those books you wish you’d discovered way earlier.
I'm a 66 yr old Grandma and the other day my one year old grandson was playing with a can of paint (which he shouldn't) and tipped it over. The can wasn't sealed properly and it opened and spilled all over the ground. I was sitting on the ground with him and was able to lift him by one arm, with one arm, and hand him up to my son in law. Trust me, getting weak and fragile in our 60s is NOT inevitable 😊💪
If anyone out there is reading this and open to experimenting—I’m here for it. A year and a half ago, I was 700 pounds. I’m now down to 480. I’ve been fasting, doing water aerobics daily, and rebuilding my life from the ground up. I would love to get advanced testing done to better understand my transformation, but I’m not in a place financially to make that happen yet. Still, I’m putting myself out there—ready to learn, ready to grow, and open to anyone willing to share their wisdom or take a chance on me. Also, thank you, Steven, for this valuable information and for creating a space that helps people like me reflect and grow. Your channel has been an outlet for learning, healing, and pushing forward when things feel impossible. It’s truly making a difference. I’m not perfect, but I’m committed. This is me doing something about it.
My Dad has ADHD and he never sits still…. He is 70 and plays walking football 3 times a week, he is quick footed and walks everywhere, he also likes to go on his bike, swims and walked up 4 flights of stairs to his house. The muscles in his legs are so powerful. He ran for a bus one day and he sprinted like a 18 year old! Not kidding…. He moved so freely. He isn’t doing these things to stay fit…. He is just so hyper he needs to be doing physical things everyday.
I wasn’t planning on commenting, but maybe someone here needs this. For the longest time, I felt like I was running on empty—my body exhausted, my mind scattered, always feeling just a little off without knowing exactly why. I tried so many things—vitamins, different routines—but nothing seemed to bring me back to center. Then I stumbled across The Hidden Herbs by Anette Ray, and it felt like reconnecting with something ancient and forgotten. Learning about the healing plants that have been quietly supporting us for centuries—it gave me not just remedies, but a sense of grounding I didn’t know I was missing. It’s not about quick fixes or miracle cures; it’s about remembering the wisdom that’s always been there. If you’re feeling worn out, disconnected from yourself, maybe this is the gentle reminder you need too.
I haven’t listened to the full interview yet, but I wanna share that emotional health resilience should also be an aging priority. My 81 yo father has declined physically in the last several years and is not doing well. But emotionally he is calm and content despite a dementia diagnosis. No doubt his 30 years of daily meditation is the reason why. He says that the other residence at his living facility complain nonstop. He wants nothing to do with them. He only wants to be involved in things that are peaceful. I’m so proud of him, even if his physical health is less than desirable.
Hiring a trainer is the best money I've ever spent. Being held accountable and learning to lift safety is priceless.
My dog ran into me and knocked me down years ago and hurt the back of my leg. A year later pain got worse, x - rays said arthritis from the injury and to decrease exercise involving walking and wanted to give me a prescription and told me because I was older I should expect that. I didn't listen and instead started doing stretches again and went from quarter mile a week up to eight mile walks. I have been pain - free with no loss in mobility over ten years now!
This is touching home for me. I started losing strength at 53. Now at 55 I work my grips on the pull-up bar and do squats everyday. I started practicing after I tried to carry my 2year old grandson down the stairs. It was hard to lift him and I felt weak in the legs. I never want to feel like that again. About a month after starting this practice my grandson looked up at me and said, “Nana, pick me up”. I’m happy to report I lifted him with ease and carried him down the stairs with confidence. ❤ Love this talk.
You don't stop playing when you get old. You get old when you stop playing. When you stop moving, you start to rust. No one says stuff like this anymore. These are words I live by.
I'm in my 50s. I walk in the woods as often as possible. It has helped me tremendously with being able to catch myself when I trip.
I don’t give a rip about sports. I am just working towards, lifting, bending, so strength and mobility for as long as humanly possible
I'm a 71 year old woman who has been strength training for 53 years and just recently started liftng heavy. My next Dexa scan is in 3 weeks, my last one 3 years ago was great!

It’s crazy how nobody is talking about Rethinking Health Secrets. This book made me question so much when it comes to health, it has some serious knowledge.
What’s truly crazy is, reading book The Real Health Secrets made me realize how blinded we were, but it’s never too late. That book has some serious knowledge
I was an athlete when I was young, always worked out. Sort of slacked of around 2020 now back at it. I’m lifting and working out at 67 with great gusto. I’m in much better shape than people 20 years younger than me. I’ve enjoyed this, and as a physical therapist that treated mostly geriatrics I saw first hand what happens .
