- Hello listeners, just a note that the audio quality on today’s podcast is not the best. However, this conversation was so meaningful that I didn't want my community to miss out on the overall message and the inspiration from Ginny’s story.
We’ve heard the experts tell us the importance of maintaining muscle mass and strength training as we age. But, for some of us, it may feel like this advice came too late in life. Today's guest is here to share that it’s never too late to focus on building and maintaining muscle and becoming active.
Today, on the Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with competitive athlete Virginia (“Ginny”) MacColl to discuss the biggest myths about fitness as we age. Ginny shares her strength training journey, reversing her osteopenia and ultimately becoming the oldest person to complete an American Ninja Warrior obstacle at 71. She also shares how her training has led her to focus on her protein intake and diet, as well as tips for beginners looking to become more active regardless of age.
Virginia MacColl, also known as Ginny, is a dancer and competitive athlete. Ginny began strength training, inspired by her daughter, Jessie Graff, who has gone farther than any female on American Ninja Warrior. At 63 years old, Ginny did her first pull-up and competed in American Ninja Warrior, Seasons 9, 10, and 15, making history at age 71 as the oldest person to complete an obstacle. She was named the oldest competitive female ninja athlete in the 2024 Guinness World Record Book.
In this episode, Dhru and Ginny dive into:
-The biggest myths about fitness
-Ginny’s story
-Strength training as a method of getting diet in check
-How Ginny’s life has changed and how it has increased her confidence
-Moving parts don’t rust, and the power of “yet”
-The importance of social connections in Ginny’s life
-Finding your why and Ginny’s why
-How Ginny meets her daily protein goals
-Target levels of activity for Ginny, including walking
-How to get started as a beginner

Wow. This woman is inspirational to all of us who are getting older. Like her shirt says, age is no excuse. She is living proof that you can get stronger and thrive as you get older. Congratulations to her and thanks for this interview.
Thanks for having Ginny on! She is truly an inspiration. I just started going to the gym at 82. I did have a concern that my strength and muscle wouldn't increase but Ginny gives me hope. All the discussion on healthy longevity has really motivated me and I'm having the time of my life!
Just so great! I am 73 and fitness and nutrition is so very important to me. This was a wonderful discussion and I know there are a lot of us out there! Thank you so much again!

You inspire me, Dhru and Ginny
I am 75 years old and strength and exercise is my weakness. Thanks for the podcast it is an inspiration. I've been blessed with good health but I need the strength back.
My mother reversed osteoporosis. After my father died she did everything around the house. Including walking his spirited hunting dog. Perfect bones at 89 years! No indication of osteoporosis that was diagnosed at 72.
Please tell us her diet after diagnosis of osteoporosis
I am Ginny's age. This is the perfect interview for me to see as I am trying to embark on my own journey. Thanks to both of you.
She is the proof I needed. INSPIRING. Thank you! We really can do this
Damn, she looks fantastic! What an inspiration!
Thank you so much and this video, about building back muscle.
Another wonderful interview thanks!!
She’s a treasure!
Amen!!!! Im62!!!! Dexascan scale exactly same from 10 years ago!
"You can't exercise your way out of a bad diet", unless your training like an Olympian. For the rest of us, cut WAY back on sugar/carbs. Focus on animal food/saturated fat.
Osteo-pee-nia - look at the vowels. Pronouncing things right will help make you credible. Thank you for the inspiration from this awesome woman.
She’s amazing. I think her diet is pretty inflammatory though.
Your nuts! She prioritized protein. Seniors don’t synthesize protein well. She dropped dairy. She dropped soda. She dropped processed foods. She gets sleep. She plays. Laughs. She gets sunshine. Works on balance. She’s doing what 99.99% of the population is too lazy to do!! Exercising & eating zero processed foods or sugary products. She’s inspiring.
She kicked out processed food and diary, but that large amount of carbs she mentioned is highly inflammatory. And she suffers from joint inflamation. You are correct.
@@sanjavukovic169😊 The one thing that makes arthritis worse for me is the seed oils. I found some grain free chips made with avocado oil that don't seem to bother me.
Do tell @jeromepopiel388 what/where are these chips!?
I agree, somewhat. Hopefully she is NOT eating CAFO Meat and TRUE Wild Salmon only. Also peanut butter - whether conventional or organic - can contain aflatoxin and more prone to mold, depending how it's processed. And hopefully she avoids seed oils and sticks with the healthy oils like xv-coconut, and TRUE xv Olive oil. She looks and sounds so young ~ kudos to her :)
Ginny, you are truly an example and motivation for us older women! Thanks for all you do to help us! How do you push through the age related aches and pains? I find myself skipping certain movements due to the normal pain of aging. God bless!!
I have discovered, at 68, that all age related pain is DIET RELATED in reality. Drop the inflammatories in your diet. Eat more anti inflammatory foods!
All my aches and pains went away with whole food keto/low carb diet. Also check out Sally Norton re oxalates. I'm still working on eliminating oxalate toxicity in my body tissues.
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 thank you, that makes sense!! ❣️
I'm 52. Ive decided theres no good reason I can't do a dragon squat. I have fitness goals that i think i can achieve. These include mostly bodyweight stuff. I see no reason i can't do a one armed pullup. I'm working on my upper body flexibility. Its just time. Time budgeting for exercise and sleep is the principle obstacle i see.
Enjoy the process ❤
You are a great inspiration. Awesome.
Dearest Dhru Purohit, Would you please consider interviewing the great and beautiful Erin Stern?
Wow, she looks good for 72
Remember . . . IF YOU DON'T USE IT, YOU LOSE IT!
I just reached out to her Erin Stern about you. :)
I don't think there's anything bad about saturated fat if it's from a clean source but its polyunsaturated fat that's a killer
Second from the uk
First from Pakistan
You get your aflatoxin in your peanut butter!
I saw the television show
Arrow. I want to do a Salmon ladder.
Drhu :
It’s PRONOUNCED: OSTEEEEO PEANEEYA
😂😂😂
For the algorithm
I feel sad for her knowing her proteins and not knowing inflammatory foods.
Can you reverse OSTEOARTHRITIS? Is OZONE INJECTION a valid treatment for it?
Ozone is toxic
@@ruthhorowitz7625 Maybe, but apparently, the treatment works very well.
I have had osteoarthritis of the knees for 18 years. My doctor told me to do e excuses to strengthen all the leg muscles to support my knees - for the rest of my life. Bless his heart. I obeyed him. I am 77 now. I joined a gym then and avoided knee replacement surgery. At 70, I began trekking and have done 3 Himalayan treks and over 45 short day treks since. I climbed into a cave a few days ago, which involved a two hour trek. I exercise regularly and have a routine to take care of balance, legs, arms, etc. Warm-ups and stretching are important, too. As I have weight issues, I stay on a very low carbohydrate vegetarian diet. It's the best diet, for maintaining my weight. I do not crave other foods.
@@mayamaker8841 I follow a good diet and lifestyle. But that's NOT ENOUGH to treat or REVERSE Osteoarthritis.
My question STILL REMAINS regarding OZONE INJECTIONS!
At about 5:00, do our bones get smaller??
Check out Dr Sean OMara and some of his presentations on UA-cam. He has slides of MRIs showing various bone/muscle examples of fit vs unfit people. Very enlightening.
Really want to soak this interview up but the sound quality is needing drastic improvement
Think of how great she would be doing if she just got the arthritis inducing items out of her diet.
Yes, she dropped processed foods. And prioritized protein. I wonder what you will look like at her age??😆
Oatmeal is not protein, nor is peanut butter. There are tons of oxalates in chocolate and spinach, so she could easily get rid of her arthritis if she went carnivore, but she is afraid of it@@melissal3383
@@melissal3383 that is 5 years for me. I got rid of oxalates....and all inflamatories, going whole food low carb. I fast regularly and put myself in ketosis. If i eat carbs, I try to keep them healthy, and only as occasional supplements. No more pain. I feel am aging backwards!
Not buying in to the USDA food guidelines any more. 😢

It is the Mahatma Gandhi who said "be the change you want to see" and not Mohammed Ali.
[HEY DHRU, FYI: IMHO: YOUR AUDIO QUALITY SUCKS, ON THIS VIDEO!!... ]
Her arthritis is probably due to the carbs she is still eating 🤔
And high oxalates. 😢
Peanut butter so bad for you sorry I stopped watching the video a soon she mention oats peanut butter protein shake blablabla….
High oxalates....VERY much arthritis inducing. 😢
Also, glyphosate concerns. 😢
