We all expect to be able to move. To walk. To run. Everyday things we take for granted. Have the freedom to do things again

Physical activity reduces disease risk—but it’s only part of the equation. Even in those meeting physical activity guidelines (>150 minutes of moderate-vigorous activity per week), excessive sedentary time (>10.6 hours/day) increases the risk of future cardiovascular disease:…

Profile of a world-champion powerlifter aged 71: Who started lifting aged 63. Case studies like this can’t “prove” resistance training works. But they do show ageing doesn’t have to mean weak or frail.

Taking metabolic health seriously? Focus on these key markers (see table) and aim for an ideal range. Many diets can help, but the most reliable is a whole food, animal-based, low-carb (grain-free) diet combined with intermittent fasting + vitamin D3 supplementation.

Dietary policies focused on "fixing" food (low-fat, plant-based, "fibre"-enriched, etc) have failed to deliver. It's time to shift away from the abstract idea of "healthy diets" & embrace the richer concept of #nourishment, prioritizing deep satiety, & cultural & personal needs.

1⃣ NOURISHMENT - Widespread discreditation of meat, dairy & eggs must cease so that we can return to fully evidence-based & economically & culturally appropriate dietary guidance that nourishes & respects the people consuming & producing those foods instead of harming them.

This is precisely what I talk about. Muscles are so much more than how they affect our appearance. Muscle mass means life extension. It’s that simple. If the exercises that drive muscle development are appropriate, it also means improved function, and prolonged functional…

Yep I talk to this last weekend in, Trauma it is a pro-inflammatory disorder but it different due to bone bruising & creation of Osteochondral ischemic lesions, plus articular cartilage does not respond well to shear stress ie post ACL injury. Age & obesity are different 👇

This is a thread 🧵 that supports my presentation at the 2024 TRIA Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation Conference on Saturday, October 26, 2024 , it has all the references used.

Update 2024 OA post trauma is caused by dysregulation to chondrocyte metabolism through bone bruising and nutritional changes, the changes in mechanical loading allowing shear stress also plays a big part in articular cartilage degradation and disruption to metabolism

Great podcast here discussing all things OA. A brief thread showing we need to keep shouting the evidence into the void. Thanks @JaredPowell12 & @ProfDavidHunter Now a twitter thread 🧵 old man continue to shout at OA. Ps listen to the podcast 👇

An excerpt from my podcast with @ProfDavidHunter on the descriptor ‘wear and tear’. Listen to the whole podcast for more context please :) open.spotify.com/episode/3QWhRy…

Exercise is a calculated risk; stillness is guaranteed decline.

Discuss how OA is a metabolic and systemic disease; primarily the inflammation associated with the adipose tissue perpetuates the sedentary/pain/ weight issue. Exercise even light WB (bike) will help with the inflammation.

I spoke to this at the conference last weekend, exercise for OA is only preservative and preventative NOT regenerative or reparative. We need to start exercise early before development of severe OA to PREVENT. It’s not WEAR and REPAIR.

Resistance training builds muscle - but we’re still learning how. Not surprisingly, males with ~6 years of resistance training experience had larger biceps muscles (+70%) and muscle fibres (+29%) than untrained controls. But they also had: - More muscle fibres (+34%) - More…
