    Most people know they should exercise. The data is irrefutable. But knowing and doing are two very different things.
    In this video I'm introducing a concept called Sedentary Death Syndrome 33 chronic diseases that will take hold if we don't intervene with daily movement. And the shocking truth is there is only one "drug" that treats all 33 of them. It's not in a pharmacy.
    I'm also giving you the exact exercise prescription I use for women in midlife and beyond. I call it the FACE Framework — and it covers everything your body actually needs to stay strong, mobile, and powerful as you age. Not just cardio. Not just weights. All of it, in the right dose, in the right order.
    If you've been wondering exactly what to do and how to do it, this is your answer.

No noise. 👉 Join the newsletter: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=YqJKtR&g=Ww3gx3& I sat down with Dr. Iñigo San Millán, one of the world's leading researchers in cellular metabolism and mitochondrial function and the scientist whose methods I use every day in my practice, to decode the real science of Zone 2, lactate, and why your mitochondria are the engine of your entire health span. What we explore: - Lactate threshold testing measures mitochondrial function, metabolic health and flexibility - Zone 2 and sprint intervals optimize VO2 max, glycolytic capacity, and healthy aging. - Elevated resting lactate signals mitochondrial dysfunction and insulin resistance - The astrocyte-neuron lactate shuttle links brain metabolism, cognitive decline, and Alzheimer's disease. - Skeletal muscle governs glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and the origin of insulin resistance. - Mitochondrial decline and bioenergetic dysfunction silently precede type 2 diabetes in sedentary individuals. - Metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance are reversible at any age through Zone 2 training and structured exercise. About Dr. Iñigo San Millán: Dr. Iñigo San Millán is an exercise physiologist and researcher at the University of Colorado School of Medicine whose work on mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism has shaped how both elite athletes and everyday people train for health and longevity. He is best known for pioneering the science of Zone 2 training and coaching Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar.

    The Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause: What You Need to Know | Dr. Vonda Wright

    Your shoulder hurts and you did nothing to injure it. Your knees ache. Your back is acting up. Everything feels inflamed and nobody is giving you a straight answer. You are not falling apart. You are not going crazy. There is a name for what is happening to you.

    It is called the Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause — and it is one of the most under-discussed, under-diagnosed conditions affecting women in midlife today. When estrogen walks out the door, it doesn't just affect your reproductive system. Every single part of your skeletal system — your muscles, your bones, your joints, your tendons, your cartilage, your spinal discs — has estrogen receptors. And when those receptors go unfilled, the cascade that follows is real, it is measurable, and it is happening to you right now whether you feel it or not. In this video I am breaking down exactly what is happening inside your body during this transition and what you can do to get in front of it before it becomes a crisis.
