How long is each weightlifting session? Do you follow any particular program or trainer?

Agree! Age 66,Vegan 5 years as well and feel fantastic. At ideal weight and swim , walk and some resistance training. I don't worry about protein but am mindful. My goal is to stay strong with a quality of life and longevity. Dr. Michael Gregger has a great book out "How not to Age" based on Science and randomized studies of thousands of people. Great info. He would be a great guest on Mel's podcast!

I'm 63 and I loved this podcast- it's never too late! I'm walking 2k with my dogs every morning. I'm doing keto and I'm down about 80 lbs! It's a whole new life and my brain and body is flourishing with this regimen! My legs are actually getting muscular now! It makes me want to do more so I'm going to try rebounding! Life is so much better with fitness!

You are not the norm because plant protein is encased in cellulose and we can’t digest that. Therefore you’re pooping out most protein.

My PT gives me exercises to strengthen my back. But does not encourage more bc it can cause irritation of a nerve. I ask for more. Dr.s tell people to do less? I think people don't want to hear they have to do the work. They want a quick fix. It's also culturally acceptable to eat fast food and sodas. So let's not point fingers. We are all responsible for our own health. As a PT are you going to tell people to stop eating garbage? I wish. That's a major part of the puzzle. Unfortunately my PT also doesn't know about hypothyroidism, and doesn't care.

I'm 74 and had cancer surgery this last August. I now work my butt off. Yoga, Pilates, weight lifting, Two chi and look and feel better than I have in YEARS. THE DOCTORS NEVER MENTIONED NUTRITION. I read and use common sense. Also, faith. BTW, I'm not doing chemo or radiation !!!!

I have been weight training hard 2 X a week for 3 years and haven’t lost a pound. At 64 I barely get 40 grams of protein a day. This podcast was amazing and a huge eye opener for me! Thank you so much for all your love🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Perfect timing, thank you! I'm 60, healthy, and weight appropriate, but a noodle in the muscle department. I just ordered a set of bands two days ago and excavated my treadmill for winter. I'm excited to have this new-to-me in depth information to keep me motivated. Here's to my muscle and me kicking butt for the next 45 years.

Amen, Mel! I was injured three years ago and immediately lost all muscle in my body almost overnight! I wrinkled all over including my face. I am depressed, exhausted, with anxiety. I'm vegetarian eating 30 grams of protein on a great day. With clothing on I look 100 years old. Without clothing, I appear 1000 years old. I'm a frail weak woman with low concentration, every autoimmune disease, and and can't sleep well. I'm getting on the protein bus from now on!

Mell, your guests are killing it! Thanks for introducing us to so many spectacular professionals.

55:58 strap in Mel! I'm 57, have 20kg to lose (3 dress sizes) & have been doing 2x weights and 2x HIIT a week @ 9am in a guided group for a month. The first two weeks are tough but now I'm more confident most of the time & feel better. Improvements include Better sleep, more energy on afternoon shift, a desire to eat lighter, improved posture, coordination & body confidence, less sway back pain & I can easily turn over on the massage table without feeling like a beached whale. Yesterday I walked around town in a heatwave with a 6kg backpack then coped with a 18th birthday party til 1am. I'm fine today and loving this video. This is my new normal and combined with High 5 habit, I anticipate feeling more and more fabulous 🥰 WFPB breakfast protein idea is runny, lemony hummus with veggies 😋

Another protein idea is a fruit & greens smoothie with 50g silken tofu. You don't even notice it.

Resistance training with weights!!! It takes 3 months to gain muscle and two weeks to lose it. Upper body one day lower body another day and legs a third day. After you’ve built and lost tone, it takes two months to get it all back.🎉 Incorporating cardiovascular each day for 20 minutes and a few others if you wish. It takes 21 days to form a habit.

Thank you so much for this topic. I’m a personal trainer and I work with women every day to resistance train. It has literally changed their life!!

I am so addicted to Mel Robbins. I listen to you two times a day in the morning and at night

I just ordered Forever Strong. I love all of your podcasts Mel, but this one hit home on every level. Dr. G. is brilliant and her calm demeanor and knowledge of her subject is so reassuring and empowering. Thanks Mel. You keep me going when I sometimes feel surrender is the only option. It isn't. There's so much more ahead.

My trainer has retrained my mind from less calories to eating at least 100 grams of protein and the change in my body in a year is insane. It’s been an epiphany for me & I’ve Never EVER had that when I tried dieting. I tell everyone who’s in ears reach of high protein and resistance training.

Mel, you've done it again with another mind-blowing episode! The science of lifting weights for weight loss and feeling better is exactly what I needed to hear. Your podcast always delivers the practical steps and motivation to make positive changes. Time to hit the gym and lift my way to a healthier, happier me.

I’ve been a Pilates instructor for 20 years and have been practicing Pilates for 30 plus years and must disagree with your comment about Pilates not being enough to create resistance training. When training on the Pilates equipment there is a multitude of exercises that are weight bearing and can create plenty of resistance.

Thanks for this podcast. I'm 62 and have been doing high intesity weigh training 2x week for the last 2 1/2 years. I work with a trainer, on machines, to fatique and it takes about 20 minutes and I hate it. My husband does the same thing....he has lost about 30 pounds. Me - effing goose egg. There are a million things I would rather do than work out, but when I had my ACL repaired last year, I was so thankful for my upper body strength because the crutches were NO PROBLEM. That is why I do it now, as a preventative like brushing my teeth, so I'm in. I think the missing link is the protein! I purchased the Dr G's book, I can add some of your simple resistance training daily and I can focus on more protein! Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing this perspective and information! I'll let you know how it works out for me!

One of my issues with lifting was that it’s so boring counting reps. Now I do a rep to a word instead of a number. My mantra is “ I Am, I can and I will”. Repeat;) You could do it to a songs lyrics, or whatever works for you. Hope this makes sense to y’all. It works for me.

I LOVE this episode! Mel said something about hair growth when talking about collagen. I have thin hair it's my genetics. 3y ago I increased my protein 130g a day. After a year I noticed a huge difference in my hair! My hair has never looked this good! It's because of higher protein diet. I also take MSM in powder form and cod liver oil. Look these two things up if you're on a hair journey. Msm is great for immunity too I haven't been sick since starting Msm never had covid either I'm a nurse and worked the covid unit too. Great supplement. I thought I would share for anyone on a hair journey. I also quit using shampoo with sulfate.

I started strength training at home during the pandemic with my husband..My MIL could just not understand why I needed to excercise with weights as she has always believed that we women will end up with injury in the uterus if we lifted anything heavy... 1 yr down she got bed ridden with a severe spinal nerve issue which eventually made the muscles of her entire back and both legs spasm completely in an attempt to protect the spine. She had to.undergo rehab therapy which was all about strengthening the muscles in the abdomen and around the spine so that they can protect her bones and the nerves..Her nerve condition will never go away but maintenance can only be done through muscle strenghtening excercises most of the times involving external weights.. So she ended up technically weight training under the doctor's supervision and will have to keep doing it all her life... Now I have the answer to why I needed to lift weights but she does not ask anymore as she knows too.. I lift now so I dont go though what she had to go through . Weight training is the best thing..More important than the world thinks

I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE! DR G , I AM GOING TO READ YOUR BOOK THIS WEEK!! FEEL SO EMPOWERED AND EXCITED AND really felt a new mindset shift again around my own fitness journey!! Thank you thank you thank you!!! WOmen's fear around eating more protein is real but I hope that they can realize just like Dr G said you wont gain weight if you are eating a high protein diet (nutrition lifestyle). LOVE LOVE LOEVED THIS!!

Perfect! I'm so excited you're interviewing Dr. Lyon. You have a way of tying up the topics into a simple actionable way. Thank you!🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️🏋🏼‍♀️

A serving of beans is 10 or 11 grams of protein. Two tablespoons of almond butter or peanut butter is 7-8 grams (this is minimally processed organic, w/o sugar or added oil. I can't speak for Jif or Skippy.). I am not a vegetarian, but I do prefer to eat mostly plant based. Even if you get most of your protein from animal products, there is room for lots of it coming from plants. And I believe you'll feel a lot better.

Going back to animal proteins was a major step on my recovery from ME/ CFS. As they say in the interview, one issue is essential amino acids. Vegetarianism/ plant based might work for some but it didn't work for me.

What a phenomenal episode! I love Dr Lyon. I have been resistant training seriously for over the last 5 years. It has changed my perspective on what health looks like. Dr Lyon is a true inspiration. Thank you Mel. ❤

This info is so good, I’m re-watching it today. Thanks Mel and Dr. G!

Addressing protein when it comes to vegan diets, I recommend getting a healthy nutritional professional vegan to speak on. To compare the amino acid profiles with one plant food isn't realistic. All the animals we eat get protein from the plants they eat that make them that big. Humans get get enough protein from plants too and many vegans can prove that.

I immediately ordered protein powder after hearings this podcast. Just took my first 30g. The energy boost is unbelievable. Did a short HIIT on my hometrainer bike to celebrate. After almost 2years of fatigue and illness, trying countless supplements and having doctors scratch and shake their heads at me, this feels too easy to be true. Got a roasted chicken for later today. Hooray!!

Wonderful episode!!! Thank you ladies!

I really enjoy this conversation. I remember listening to a podcast where Dr Lyon was a guest and she discussed the importance of muscle as we age. If more people built and maintained muscle mass as we age, less people would need to live in senior care facilities. This was eye-opening for me. I would have enjoyed hearing some food suggestions/tips for protein

Absolutely, Dr in the house is spot on. I am 57. Hysterectomy at age 35😢 protein protein protein is key and olive oil, avocado etc fats are crucial for inflammation , brain 🧠 health and hear health to name a few. The protein and body building reverses type 2 diabetes etc. the know estrogen in my body causes huge weight gain Lifting weights really reverses so many issues that low estrogen causes

Had to watch his in 3 days bc had to rewind and take so many notes.

I’ve proven for myself how important protein is, primarily in the form of eggs and ground beef. I feel a million times better when I start my days protein forward, as she says. It really does give a sense of satiety. Also, for anyone looking for a protein powder, Vivo Life Vegan Protein is amazing, it’s been a game changer for me.

Thanks for doing this video. I want to reduce my core circumference the right way.

Excellent discussion on protein and muscular health. Thanks.

I can so relate to this phenomenal podcast! I am 78 and yo yo dieted only did cardio to lose weight. As a young female we were never advised to do anything to build our muscles. It was looked down upon for women to have muscles and be strong. For the past several years I have been doing some weights. This enables me to lift heavy things and do much more than my husband. Like you said I can see sarcopenia happening to him. I am constantly telling my children and grandchildren how important our muscles are. I will definitely be passing your wonderful podcast on. Thank you so very much.

Thank you for your honest questions and comments Mel!! Asking what amino acids are, is something that I would want to ask but would be too embarrassed. Thank you, I am so encouraged to try as a 59 year old woman to keep on my strength training program but now I know so much more about the importance of protein and new mindsets on how to appreciate my body instead of hating it.

Dr. G is a genius. I finally ordered the physical book! 💪🏻👏🏻

2 powerful woman. Blessed you both 🙏

She has such a warm and lovely voice.

I was on a good regime first part of the year, and felt great, but life got in the way, I got sick and really struggled with tiredness and weakness, soreness after and my weight lifting petered out and I gained weight. After listening to this I’m getting back to it. I realise how important it is now. I need to gain my muscle back at 58years of age. Why when we’ve had a virus, does it make you so tired and weak that the thought of exercising is just so exhausting. Sometimes even weeks after the virus.

Loved this topic. You guys are Amazing! You make everything sound so achievable. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

She has changed my life! What a wonderful & brilliant woman carrying the truths we need to finally take control of our health while aging! This is the absolute Best episode ever ever ever! Thank you Mel! I love you!* xxx

Mel I’d love you to have Dr Bulsiewicz on. The way we eat to gain the muscle is so so important. As important as lifting. Eating loads of meat will shorten our life and quality. His podcast on Rich Roll about the gut and fiber blew my mind! And I’m all about protein trust me. I love to lift and have definition. I’m just going to be more mindful of where I get it now for long term health Keto for example may look like it’s good on the outside, but it’s creating plaque in your arteries that you can’t feel till it’s too late

Thank you for this interview. It was great!

I can't wait to read her book. Thank so interesting.❤

@melrobbins can you have her back on to talk about the same talk for Elementary Kids through High School? I would love to help my girls get the right amount of protein each day and specially in the morning before school! Thanks girl!
