  My father turned 100 in November 2025. He is fully cognative, mobile &amp; independent. Eat from the earth, exercise regularly, sleep well, social connection and laugh a lot. Enjoy the ride!

  Totally changed my lifestyle choices in 2023. Whole foods, exercise, no alcohol, low carbs, dropped weight, out in sunshine, keeping up friendships, activating my mind. A friend of mind told me that at 70 it’s too late. It’s never too late. Thx doc. Happy 2026. 🎉

  I&apos;m 78. I walk several miles a day walking the dog. Pets keep us alive in many ways.

  I think that alot of the changes as we age are not decline, but rather neglect.

  Resistance training is non-negotiable for healthy aging. Amen. Plus, lifting weights is fun.

  My mom is 85 and she still goes to the gym 3X/wk and you can tell. She’s been working out regularly since her 30s but more consistently since retiring in her late 50s. She’s sharp, strong, and her numbers are perfect (and better than mine)!

  I&apos;m 72 and I&apos;ve been watching friends my age slow down, grow weak, become frail. &nbsp;I kept telling myself that I&apos;m fine because I walk fast, take the stairs, can go to the floor and rise again without using my hands. &nbsp;But I knew that I was too sedentary. &nbsp;I watched another of your videos and you made such good sense that I started walking every day, a brisk walk for at least 20 minutes. &nbsp;And I have found it enjoyable and energizing. &nbsp;So now I&apos;m going to start the resistance training so I don&apos;t lose upper body muscle mass. &nbsp;Little stuff to begin, more as I get more comfortable with it. &nbsp;You have already helped me, thank you.
