“You know what's critical for long term function is being able to stay upright. So it's all great that you're making big arms and have upper body strength and do pullups and lift your suitcase above in the airplane.”

“What it tells you is that there is no age or time in your life when your body will not respond to the positive stress you put upon it. And it takes daily investment. It's not like you can store it all up and then write on it.”

“Of this person compared to this person, there was virtually no difference. There was a small difference, but we know from other people's studies that the Lifting weights consistently infers a twenty year advantage such that if you're an eighty year old consistently lifting weights, you are functionally as strong as a sixty year old person who doesn't. And so not only does this study show us that by investing every day in our mobility that we can retain our muscle mass, that has implications for frailty. That has implications for activity. And what's interesting about that picture, Stephen, once I published it, it has taken on a life of its own. It is like everywhere on the internet because the reaction is so startling with people thinking, oh my God, I am in control of my health and aging, and I couldn't be more pleased about that.”

“Is the muscle, yes. And so, you know, you'll see people walking around with these big old thighs. Well, the truth is Sometimes a lot of that is fatty rind, but look what happens if we invest every day in our mobility. My athletes in this study were not professional athletes, they were recreational people like you and me who had just invested in their mobility fortified times a week. This is the picture, the third picture is a seventy year old triathlete. If you didn't know better, you would say that I just took another slice of the forty-year-old and put it down here. Very little peripheral fat, very little fatty infiltration, and amazing muscle architecture. And when we looked at the strength”

“This is a 74 year old. Now, I had a large group. This is one representative person in each of the groups. This is the control group. But the center one, the muscle I'll tell you, is grossly fatty infiltrated. It is well marbled. It is like a Colby beef. And then there's a thick rind of peripheral fat. This is a picture of what we call sarcoesity, meaning we have loss of muscles sarcopenia and we have obesity excess adipose tissue.”

“Yes, we have beautiful muscle architecture of the quadriceps on the top, the hamstrings on the bottom, the bone has a nice cortex. There's very little peripheral fat. And when I looked inside the muscle with a microscope and special software, there was not infiltration of fat or marbling. So if you want to say it colloquially, this is a flank steak. With no marbling, this is lean muscle. If we sit around for thirty five years and have a desk job and we sit at the desk ten hours a day and we don't go move our muscles, we're not purposeful. This is what happens. We lose our muscle architecture. These muscles are almost you can't even tell what they are.”

“Well, they did a similar study as this using cat scans. I used MRIs, and what they found is that what they described as the inevitable decline of muscle, the inevitable infiltration of your muscle with fat like marbling. And I said that cannot be true. That is what happens if you are sedentary and sit around for the trajectory of your life. So because I'm a sports doctor, I am surrounded by master's athletes, so I did a study of master's athletes from forty to eighty five, what this picture is MRI slices in their mid thigh. So MRIs take pictures of us using a magnet and creates these beautiful pictures. So at the top picture is the MRI slice of a 40-year-old and my athletes were usually runners or triathletes of the thigh of a forty-year-old.”

“This shouldn't scare you because you are healthy and you are going to be mobile every day when you leave me here. But so remember that study I introduced the Health ABC, which was an NAH funded study of a group of seventy-year-olds. They just took a cohort of seventy-year-olds and watched what happened over a decade.”

“It's with a type of muscle called skeletal muscle. We have six hundred and fifty skeletal muscles. It is the reason you move. It is muscle is not only important for locomotion, but it's very metabolically active. It sends off hormones that help control other processes in your body. It's where most of your mitochondria, which are the powerhouses of your body, take glucose from your blood and turn it into energy. So it has a lot of roles. Most of us just think about it as what you see in the mirror at the gym getting bigger and bigger, but it serves a function of locomotion and metabolism.”

“Yeah, you know what? I say lean muscle mass and people are like, what do you mean lean versus fatty muscle mass? What I'm talking about is your skeletal muscle mass. We have three kinds of muscle. We have smooth muscle, which is what our guts are. It's the peristalsis that's happening in our intestines. Our cardiac muscle, the muscle that will that is our heart, that's the cardiac muscle, and it beats unto it.”

“So, you know, on this graph, the peak, if we call it thirty, this is a precipitous decline. It looks very hopeless. What I believe and what our research shows is that you can extend this green line into a more flat curve so that you die. Quickly. Maybe in your sleep. Yeah, like this done. Instead of this steady decline over time, but if we do not reinvest in our health and mobility every day, our muscle wastes, our VO two max or our cardiovascular health declines ten percent per decade. So it's like what happens if you have a Formula One car, and you get it all maximized, it takes one big race, and then you never reinvest in it. I mean, our bodies are not unlike a machine.”

“You saw a human brain for the first time. To notice our bodies so that we can take better care of them early so that we can then do the exercise prescription that I'm sure we'll talk about. Going forward becomes very, very hard with every decade, but I think for men forty to fifty is an amazing decade for you for a lot of reasons. For women, I think between thirty five and forty five is critically the time to get our stuff together before our hormones start walking out the door. So it's much earlier than you would suspect. If you suspected maybe 50 is the age, maybe sixty no, too late, not too late, much harder, right?”

“Same with bone. Bone maxes out at about thirty unless we continue to invest in it. Well, what do we know? seventy percent of our population is sedentary and don't reinvest, so between thirty five and forty five, I call it the critical decade if you've never thought about your health before. Now's the time to hone in. We need baseline labs. We need your first physical. We need some of your first screening exams. I think men, this is not policy anywhere, but I think as I'm trying to replace testosterone and men in the future, I don't know what I'm raising them up to. I know I'm putting them within a healthy range, but I would want to return you to what your testosterone was when you were a young man like you are now, and not just guess. I think we need first labs, first physicals to be more of a quantified self just like you were talking earlier.”

“It means that some scientists, muscle scientists believe that at 30 we've got our peak muscle mass, and unless we really invest in growing more muscle the rest of our lives, like if you choose to be sedentary the rest of your lives, you peak at 30 and you're using it the rest of your life, right? And so”

“Which is frightening because I might have done things differently during my pregnancy. But when they're little, but as they're being raised, I certainly think the time to really begin is no later than your mid thirties. I call between mid thirties to mid forties with forty being the center of that, the critical decade, literally. We're not children anymore. We've at thirty the literature says we've probably maxed our bone out. We've probably maxed our muscle out.”

“Really predetermined by how active we are as a child, so it's really a concern for those of us interested in metabolic health. What are we doing when we raise our children to sit around for the first ten years of their lives when they're really made to run around, right? So it begins with what we teach our children. And I hear parents a lot of times saying, oh, my kid won't eat this or that, or I can't get them to do anything. And I'm not scolding them when I respond in the way I'm about to respond to you. I get it. I'm the mother of a blended family of six children and you can't always make your children do things. But here's what I know. Children learn from what they see. My children were foam rolling with us. They learned to eat vegetables or they didn't get up from the table or they learn what we teach them. So the time to begin is when our children are little. Some would say the time to begin is in utero.”

“That begins when your parents are raising you and they have the choice of teaching you how to eat, teaching you I'm old enough that literally I got a cell phone at thirty eight, so this is not a problem with me growing up, but there's a problem now where we don't send kids out due to safety and digital to just go play and don't come in until dinner. That was a real thing when I was growing up. And so what we know is children's mitochondrial load, meaning how many of our powerhouse mitochondria metabolic kingpins.”

What happens if we live so long in our quest for longevity that Everybody we love are raised has already gone before us, and I don't know what do I do.

“I view We're all gonna die, Stephen. How rapidly we get there can change, how we arrive there can change, how we feel about our life can change, but we're all going to get there. So I don't view it as something to run away from at all. In fact, in some circumstances in some of my patient's circumstances, or even as an orthopedic surgeon in some of the traumas I've been involved in, I think death can be kindness and death can be done with extreme dignity. I don't think it's always the enemy.”

“Just means that I can't view the procedure as just putting screws in the ACL or what I tried out a new ACL procedure last week. It was fascinating, but sometimes that is the beginning and the end. That's not the beginning and the end for me. How this kid, it was this nineteen year old kid, how this kid is going to recover in six to nine months and go back to living the life he envisions, how he's not going to feel abandoned by the sport that he loved, or how am I going to help him find a new team because sport is not only an individual thing, it's an entire environment. It's the society the kid lives in. So for me, it's not just the cool new technique I did on Wednesday in the OR. It's taking care of that whole person through the whole journey for the next nine months.”

“Life and death the woman who is not going to continue her journey and her sister who is beginning her journey, and I don't know how at twenty three years old, for that not to impact what I care about in life Stephen, if you come to my house, I don't give a rat's ass about my curtains or buying the shoes with the red soles, even though I can. But at twenty three, that kind of life and death made me decide that people were worth working for and worth saving. And so she had waited for them to come to her that day so she could share in the last family time they were going to have together. And I don't think you'll come out of a situation like that without your whole life perspective being different. And so even though, you know, I'm a sports doctor now, how is that?”

“So we make it through the night. It's just she and I, and in the morning in this hospital in Chicago, there's a window at the end of the hallway that faces Lake Michigan and the light starts coming in, the floor lights up again, and that's starting to happen. It's about seven o'clock. And I hear the elevator bing, and it was her family coming. So I step out into the hallway, and this one was different. They always came together every day, but this time her sister was dressed in her wedding gown, and the whole family with it was in their tuxedos because her sister was going to get married that day, and they wanted her to be part of that, even though there was no way she was ever going to be part of that. I'm twenty-three years old. I'm standing in the doorway. My patient is over here. Her family is coming towards me. And that indelibly seared in me the balance between life.”

“By the way they breathe. It is true people rally right before they die, and so I knew this woman's time was coming, but she had the most faithful family, Stephen. Her family came every single day, and she had a big family, and we knew they were coming, they were kind of loud, and we loved having them here, but the night that answers this question, I knew it was going to be her last night. You can always tell, and it was just she and I and the light in a hospital room there's a light over the bed and then the bed. So there's this light behind her and she's breathing in an agonal way, but I can tell that she's waiting. She knows her family is going to come the next morning.”

“I'll never forget. This is the one story. There's so many stories like this, but this is the one story that answers that question, I think, why this is personal to me. So I'm taking care of this woman, and you know many, many of the people I took care of won their battles. You know, I was with them for six months every night. Some nights, because people just want to feel normal. I'm giving them their chemo, they're watching TV and buying stuff online on the TV. And I'm like, why are you buying all this? Because they just want to feel like themselves, right? And many, many people successfully walked out and forgot our names, right? But not everybody did. And so this one family.”

When they say that to me we immediately start talking about well how are you sleeping? Are you having any hot flashes night sweats so that I address them as a midlife woman who's lost estrogen not just as a shoulder that doesn't work? Because for me that's pretty cut and dry. It's the rest of it that truly is taking care of the whole person. So that's what it means to me.”

“People they will need to be surrounded with care. And that approach to this individual family is exactly the surrounding them with care approach we take with professional athletes. There is not one thing that is left unturned for a professional athlete. We take care of them from the minute they wake up to the minute they go to bed and their family needs. So this whole person care extends all the way across all types of people. For a woman, for instance, who comes with a so typical for midlife women to come in with an inflamed shoulder, a frozen shoulder, she'll come in because her shoulder no longer moves, but knowing what I know about the life cycle of a woman and what happens in midlife before I even address the shoulder.

Here's what we need to do before then. Here's the technical aspects of the surgery. But how much protein are you eating? Because I need your body and tip top shape to heal.

“How they're feeling, I'll give you a few examples. So if you're, you think of a sports surgeon taking care of young athletes. So if I have a young athlete come in who I'll give you an example of a real person, he's 19. He has been an athlete his entire life and just and been great at it, right? But never been hurt, had the great fortune of never being hurt until he stepped wrong. He got slide tackled on the football field, and he blew out his knee, and his family was moving, so he didn't get immediate care like he could have had he been in his hometown. So weeks later, he shows up to me with a knee that's completely non functioning. This child, who's a nineteen year old man, is panicking in his brain. He doesn't know why is in so much pain why his knee won't work. Psychosocially, his family is in transition. They don't have any of the support system, and he no longer has his own team. So that young man is dealing not only with the physical pain of injury.”

So what that includes is bones, tendons, ligaments, muscle, adipose tissue, its joints from the spine to the shoulders, hips, the knees, it's everything from cancer care of those organs through each one of those has a subspecialty hand foot. Sports. I'm a sports surgeon, so I'm trained in shoulder, hip and knee arthroscopy, meaning I do very big surgery through very small apertures for athletes and active people.

“Sure. I have a degree in biology from Wheaton College, and then immediately after that there was such a shortage of nurses that the Rush University said if you have a good bachelor's degree, come, we'll train you in another bachelor's degree in nursing and a master's degree in three years. So I did. And with that, I went and took care of people with cancer and ran the Rush Cancer Institute with the physician that was there at the time. And then at 28, I decided that through a series of decisions, we can talk about that I wanted to do great research, but I still need to take care of people because it is in my heart and soul to do that. And so I went back to medical school at the University of Chicago at 28, only to choose the longest possible road, which is orthopedic surgery, which is an additional eleven years.”

“Well, between forty, if you're just noticing your health at that time because maybe you've been working so hard and you never noticed it before you're raising other people or whatever the circumstances are. Between forty and sixty three, you have time to course correct. But if you decide at sixty three to pay attention, it is much, much, much harder, and so, you know, part of my mission, you ask me why I wake up every morning to change the way we age in this country is to not only take care of people in my demographic, my middle aged demographic, but to really get to my millennial children and my millennial nieces and nut feuds to say you have such control of your health if you just look up and pay attention.”

But your chat GPT data is correct that that is when it shows up. And what does that correspond to? That corresponds to when the average person retires. So just when you start thinking you have time to live the life that you envision, you're saddled with health problems that you have not taken care of. But think about it this way, talking about this mind virus and how we need to change it.

So my team and I did that original research and we proved that you can be healthy, vital, active, joyful long into the foreseeable future much more than we gave ourselves credit for. And it drives me because even over all these years, thirty five years, twenty years of it as an orthopedic surgeon, it is only now that people are beginning to pick up the mantle of prevention and not only disease care. And so sometimes I sit back and I think, oh my God, you know, I've been preparing for this time in the history of people my whole career. So I am made for such a time as now.”

“And I saw people fighting every day for their lives, and I believed that that was not the destiny that we were. That we were doomed to, so as I progressed through my career and I started doing the research myself, I realized that this myth we had in our country that or all over the world that aging had to be this inevitable decline was based on population studies. And what does that mean? Well, population studies just look at a cohort of people and see what happens over time. There's a huge study funded by the NIH in the United States called the Health ABC, for instance. And they looked at a population of 70-year-olds and just followed them over time. Well, what do we know about populations of people? Well, what we know is that up to 70% of them do not do one extra step of mobility a day. So what we know about aging has been what we know about sedentary living. And so I did not believe that we truly understood”

“The answer to the question of why I wake up every day and rush into my work, whether it's into the surgery or whether it's into taking care of individuals or writing is because I have been working under the mantra of I'm going to change the way we age in this country or in this world because when I started there was this steadfast belief the National Zeitgeist has changed now but when I started there was this belief that aging was an inevitable decline from the vitality of youth down a slippery slope to frailty where we would spend twenty years of our lives dying going to the doctor's office every three years and I never ever believed that I never believed it and maybe it was because when I was a child I live in the seventies where you could just take your kid with you to a race and my dad would do that and he'd take me to a 5k and say wait here I'll be back in 20 minutes and I would see people in their 50s and 60s racing and they would be celebrated or or maybe it's because I started as a kid.”

“It is not. But one reason people have pain is because of how much we weigh. Small changes in our total body weight can have profound effects on the joint pain, we feel. Let's say this rock is one pound. If you gain one pound, you would think that this is all the amount of pressure you're going to feel, but because of the mechanics, what you actually feel is the weight of these bricks. So you think gaining ten pounds doesn't mean much, but imagine getting a hundred pounds of pressure. So how should you be investing in your mobility every day? There are four components that we should try to find time for. Number one is...”

“But this is a 74 year old who had just invested in their mobility four to five times a week. So if you're an 80-year-old consistently lifting weights, you are functionally as strong as a 60-year-old person who doesn't.”

“Excuse until our mid 70s for slowing down. These are MRI slices of a forty-year-old athlete. We have beautiful muscle architecture, but if we sit around for thirty five years and have a desk job and we don't go move our muscles, this is what happens.”
