What a powerful video! Thank you so much for this specific information and encouragement! I am over 70 and have felt so disempowered regarding control over my physical body since reaching menopause at 57. You have really encouraged me to dramatically step up my daily workout and diet. Thank you so much!❤
That was excellent...thank you so much! Very inspiring and clearly presented. I love her holistic approach to human healthspan and wellness...she needs to educate some of her colleagues in the medical industry. Much appreciation to both of you🙏
I absolutely love this video. Vonda you are amazing and thank you. Thank you Jason for all the great questions. I was a body builder in the day and now I am a 63 year old with 90 year old hips, low estrogen and not one doctor , until now, my function neuro, has suggested we address thus with natural supplements. As someone who has always been in the gym, I cringe at how people are lifting with bad form. I would suggest heavy yes definitely, as suggested, but for the average person just starting, I would suggest they get their form down first. Again, thank you, this talk was amazing for me❤
Thanks so much for this! I am a very late starter at 63 because of Class V obesity for 50 years. 2 years ago, I was 405 and today, am 168 thanks to GLP-1s (Trulicity x 1 yr. and coming up on 1 yr. with Mounjaro). HbA1c 9.0 when I began, now 5.1 (in that range) x 6 months. CKD3a stable, liver almost healed from MASH, lipids all WNL, BP so low now, I was just rx'd medication to stablize it! Pain down L leg x many years. Not sciatica, not hamstring, but "crushed" back from so much weight my whole life. Neurosurgeon 3 weeks ago scheduled me for a fusion (L4-5 S-a) and not knowing anything I said yes. Then I researched and cancelled surgery. Began PT this morning. I am SO mobile and pain is gone with minimal extension and exercises, plus proper posture. All limbs normal. CT, MRI, X-ray all show amazing damage, yet here I am. The best thing I did was relieve my spine from the weight. I lift little girlie pink weights and doubt I will ever be lifting heavy weights. I did my turn with heavy weights! 9 disc bulges, 5 bone spurs, 7 ligamentum flavum hypertrophy points, 5 "slipped" discs, arthritis, osteopenia (on Fosamax), degenerative changes, severe spondylosis... and I am gonna regroup my spine so I can avoid surgery at all costs. I meditate for pain... no NSAIDS nor narcotics (10 years clean!). This segment was really good, but I encourage remembering those of us who have special circumstances. Maybe a segment just for us with Dr. Wright?! Thanks!
We aren't on their radar I guess. Watch the Diary of a CEO podcast with Dr. Lisa Mosconi. No hrt pushing. Just a brilliant doctor who understands menopause on a different level.
As gynaecologist it is important to check the dose and type of oestrogen taken and mode of application . I know true stories of female medical doctors taking HRT without checking the dose of estradiol which sometimes is 100 times more than recommended dose leading to breast cancer in both breasts . What about natural oestroge like phytoestrogens found in soya beans and its products and yam?
Love this conversation! Dr Vonda Wright has helped me to tweak my diet by adding protein daily intact and how to calculate the amount. I’m going to be 74 years old in 6 weeks. I’ve always exercised even I was pregnant! I’ve been practicing yoga for 50 years. I have OA in my knees, SI joints, neck and hands but I have really good range of motion thanks to my daily yoga/pilates practice before bed every night! My regret is not sticking to HRT in my 50’s ! Is it too late to start HRT? My ortho surgeon says I need a total knee replacement surgery asap. So I compromised by having hyaluronic acid injection in my right knee which really hasn’t helped with pain ( cycling works best for me) So is it too late to start HRT ?
My mother and her five sisters had varying degrees of osteoporosis. my mother had the worst case and wore a back brace from age 54 on. So from a very young age I was concerned about osteoporosis. Finally at age 45 I convinced my doctor to let me have a dexa scan. I was found to be osteopenic. Then begin my journey. At the time consumption of dairy was considered the right thing to dlso I continue to drink milk, eat cheese as my bone density numbers worsened. I was researching and learning that countries with the highest consumption of calcium through dairy had the highest percentage of osteoporosis. I stopped dairy. Now at age 71 I'm on a plant-based diet, no dairy, I lift weights and walk every day as my dexa scan numbers approaches normal. The liftmor study has been a great help to me as well. It demonstrated how to lift, which lifts to do and erased the old notion of sitting and not taking on any weight bearing exercise.
Thanks for sharing this i am seventy this month and sedentary. When younger until late fifties i used to go to gym regualary...now i sit around. It is like i can see myself getting older and more frail every day. So hard to push myself to do anything. I am not overweight but have given up i guess. Last week i put myself back on HRT as i stopped four years ago and everything went down hill. After reading your comment you have given me hope i am going to start working out again.
Want HRT how to get it ? Osteoporosis broke femoral stem still in relatively good health but broke my femoral stem had anterior hip replacement almost 82yrs. On Alendronate. Get 4-5 miles / day.
Love this video it was so informative to me. I have a question though for Dr. Wright, what is a window of opportunity to go on HRT I am eight years out from my last period although going through menopause has been slightly easy for me no real hot flashes no mood swings, but I am suffering now With sleep and just physical body aches or stiffness just stiffness just getting up and moving around. I’m 62 years old. I need some guidance. Thank you. One last thing I don’t wanna have a heart attack. I don’t wanna get dementia. I don’t wanna have all the bad things related not having estrogen in our bodies. I never knew this. I’m only learning this now. My God where have I been under a-rock ugh
Even in high school gym class, very few of the girls (those who did not play a sport outside of regular gym class) could perform a single "real" push-up.
I wish the interviewer would stop offering her a list of possible answers to his questions. Just ask something and let her answer. It is a very interesting interview, Thank you.
It's nice yo talk about all these new technologies to help assess our health like the ones you mentioned but we all don't have the money like you and many of your wealthy clinics..I think we would appreciate more realistic things we can do to improve our vo2max, joint health, mobility, muscle strengthing, metabolic health, etc... but I can't afford all your expensive diagnostic tests...
How did Jason jump to the conclusion that the only way to get enough meat and protein is to eat meat and fish?! That is not anti-inflammatory and it is also not the only way to get enough protein (although it may be the easiest). There are many people that are ethically opposed to eating animals and abusing animals to get their byproducts.
Thanks for nothing, y2k health system! I begged and begged for HRT in 2005! Refused by the system algorithm and now suffering effects of a wedge fracture at 68 and early heart failure at 70. Again, thanks for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Kerry, i was on HRT for ten years...i had to fight to get on it...i felt great...but at 66 years with all the info and pressure from my doctor i came off. What a mistake that was. I have no energy, my hair is falling out, my skin has changed, my muscle mass has gone...and i have fallen more than once and i could not sleep.I aged fifteen years in the space of three. I was seventy last month...enough is enough......so, i put myself back on HRT....there is new research and it should e safe....what have i got to lose really at this age ...the alternative is pretty grim. I am already feeling better energetically my hair has stopped falling out, i can sleep well and i am going to start walking and excercising again. If your doctor refuses to prescribe there are online pharmacies where you can get it mailed after an online consult with a doctor. Where i live in Costa Rica i can just buy it over the counter. I hope things improve for you Kerry. God bless.
by the way i just wanted to mention....my mother is 93 years old and still on HRT. She has the best hair, skin, sleeps well and is as sharp as a tack. I swear a lot of it is because of HRT. So i am going back on . Hopefully not too much damage was done during the few years i came off it.
Hi Kerry: so sorry you have suffered because of that awful WHI study. You might want to look into coenzyme Q for your cardiac issues. There's a Dr. Sinatra ( ? Sp). Who has used it for his cardiac patients. I don't know if he still practices.
What a powerful video! Thank you so much for this specific information and encouragement! I am over 70 and have felt so disempowered regarding control over my physical body since reaching menopause at 57. You have really encouraged me to dramatically step up my daily workout and diet. Thank you so much!❤
My mom is 71 and have bone issues and I want to share with her that it’s not too late! Rooting for you - yes we CAN - get stronger daily! 🙏🤲💪
That was excellent...thank you so much! Very inspiring and clearly presented. I love her holistic approach to human healthspan and wellness...she needs to educate some of her colleagues in the medical industry. Much appreciation to both of you🙏
I loved this we need more of this lady❤

Love all the info? So do we get on estrogen? I teach yoga on zoom and it really is powerful medicine!

Wow! Loved this interview! Vonda is amazing! It brought tears to my eyes when she said we are worth the daily investment in our health for own self!
Doctors do NOT want to prescribe HRT to women who had er-positive BC. What do we do? We have to be on estrogen blockers. We are screwed?
We aren't on their radar I guess. Watch the Diary of a CEO podcast with Dr. Lisa Mosconi. No hrt pushing. Just a brilliant doctor who understands menopause on a different level.
Some of us don't know what HRT or BC are?
@@karent.8245BC stands for breast cancer. HRT stands for hormone replacement therapy.

Definitely free weights! Have been heavy lifting since 2 years and it changed my life
Very insightful, thank you. Love from South Africa.

Thoughts on reformer pilates?
Sadly HRT is apparently not available to us when we are over 70 or 10 years past menopause.
Want HRT how to get it ? Osteoporosis broke femoral stem still in relatively good health but broke my femoral stem had anterior hip replacement almost 82yrs. On Alendronate. Get 4-5 miles / day.
Could I ask did Vonda use estrogen replacements to implement with the exercise regimen as she described with the transition.
What about people over 60 with retina issues and lifting weights? Most older women begin to have eye issues.

They say you have up to a decade after menoPAUSE to start. Talk to your primary care today!
What are side effects of taking HRT?!
@@recuerdos2457 Improved bone and heart health, longevity, reduced Alzheimer's, no more hot flashes...

For those of us with basal thumb arthritis, grip strength and push ups may not be the best indicators...

I came to comment the same thing. He’s 100% wrong that plant protein is not enough.
I agree..he was so quick to jump on that statement.
Machines are MUCH safer
Light weights are better than living a sedentary lifestyle
“Big lifts” opens the average person to serious injury.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY HRT ? I AM TOTALLY LOST, DON'T KNOW NOTHING ABOUT HRT, FIRST TIME I HEARD IT.
Hormone replacement therapy
