A few years ago, Steve noticed a pain radiating from his neck into shoulders that he described as oppressively bad. And during his evaluation, his X-rays showed that he had been dealing with an advanced version of osteoarthritis in his C spine (the top seven vertebrae in the spine, located in the neck and connecting to the thoracic spine). 

Since Steve’s been lifting weights since his 40s, he thought that it was the beginning of the end. The aging process had finally caught up with him. Father Time is undefeated after all. 

But that’s where Steve’s story takes an interesting turn…

Even as a kid, Cody was always bigger than the other kids. But after graduating nursing school in 2014, he realized he had to lose weight. And so, he lost 70 pounds in short order. But there was one problem: He didn’t do it in a sustainable way—and so the weight returned.

Today’s guest, Barry, is a recently-retired pharmacist who has learned first-hand from his extensive experience in the healthcare industry just how important movement and strength are for preventing serious chronic diseases.

If you have a desire to avoid being reliant on medications long-term to maintain your health, perhaps nothing is more important than figuring out how to remain active and build strength—especially as you age.

About 12 years ago, today’s guest, Chad, pulled his back out like never before. He was bedridden for four days. He couldn’t walk properly for weeks. And when he went to his doctor, his doctor told him: He had the back of an 80-year-old man at only 42!

Determined to avoid surgery, Chad started to focus on specific exercises that could improve his back like in-person yoga classes, physical therapy, and watching random YouTube videos.
