51. Defy Gravity By Building Strength, with Patricia Ladis, Holistic Physical Therapist
Manage episode 417305675 series 3507558
Ladies, sit up and take note! That was a posture joke, but Patricia Ladis is not kidding. “No matter what, every woman over 35 should start strength training,” she says, which is not an unfamiliar recommendation to many of us by now, but I loved this chat with her because she really drives home the WHY. And the HOW. So no joke-take notes.
In historical studies of conditions that primarily affect women, women were not part of the study until 1993. Yep. So when we say it's on us to manage our own health, we are literally bearing that weight.
WE COVERED:
- How our physical bodies begin to deteriorate and disintegrate as we age, and what we can do to stave it off
- Bone density loss-you've heard the term countless times but do you actually know what it means?
- Posture as the key to priming the deep muscle system
- What building muscle can do for our bodies, our organs, and our brains
- What actually happens to our bodies when we sit for prolonged periods of time
- One way to prevent and manage back pain that you've never considered before
- The critical importance of rest & recovery
