The Truth About Creatine & Exercise! 30% Of People Will Die From This! The Healthy Ageing Doctor

Runners who only run are hurt a lot, and it's usually due to a motion imbalance. So I always do this test to show them whether your butt muscles are strong enough to keep your pelvis straight, and whether you're strong enough to keep your knee from falling into this position.

I look like I'm drunk or something. How are you doing this with your heels on? Dr. Vonda Wright is a leading orthopedic surgeon and longevity expert. Leveraging her expertise with elite athletes. To revolutionize the way we move, eat, and train.

To live longer, stronger, and better. I am on a rampage to make bone sexy again, because in the United States, at least 50% of women will get osteoporosis, along with two million men. Now, osteoporosis is low bone density, and studies show that people with low bone density have higher cognitive decline. It increases your risk of fracture. If you break your hip, 50% of the time, whether you're a man or a woman, you will not return to pre-fall function. And 30% of the time, you will die. And there's a lot that causes bone fragility, such as aging, not building enough bone in our youth. It's our sedentary lifestyles, the myth that women have to be teeny tiny, and it's even things like a woman breastfeeding will lose 20% of her bone density in the first six months. But it's not inevitable, and I will lay out a lifestyle that I call Unbreakable. It's about muscle, bone, nutrition, but the most important part is mindset.

I'm very, very excited. Uh, just to pause there, is there a link between menopause and bone density?

Yes, and it's because of the plummeting of estrogen, which is critical for muscle, bone, tendon, ligament, that. And without it, it can have dire effects. So, you need to know the following.

This has always blown my mind a little bit. 53% of you that listen to this show regularly haven't yet subscribed to this show. So could I ask you for a favor before we start?

Yes.

For anyone that's unaware of what you do and who you do it for, what do you do and who do you do it for?

So, you know, in, as a sports doctor over the years, we've learned how to take really high-performing athletes, you know, those are who are winning all the time, who need to continually get better and better and better at their craft. And over the 30 years of my career, we've gone from really focusing on how they train, the periodization of their training, to the last time I, uh, was at the University of Pittsburgh, I was the medical director of the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, which is where the Pittsburgh Penguins are housed. And it had gotten so, uh, scientific. They had a full-time chef. Every meal, from breakfast, lunch, dinner, every meal on the planes were prepared. Because when it comes down to split-second agility, top-of-brain thinking, every little bit counts. And so, in the 30 years of my, of my medical career, it's gone from just learning more about performance science of how to train, to how to feed people, to how to recover people. So instead of doing, for instance, I think Dara Torres was talking about her, uh, Olympic runs in her 40s, right? She trained much differently when she was 24 and in her 40s. After she had had a child, it was much more about recovery, not as much hours in a pool. So, I take all those things that we've learned over the course of my career and now apply them not only to athletes, but to people like you and me who, we're in high-performance jobs. I need to be tip-top in every sphere of my life, as you do. And how do we eat better, recover better, take the principles of performance that we've learned from athletes into high-performers and even mere mortal athletes like me?
