Dr. Vonda Wright, double board-certified orthopedic sports
medicine surgeon specializing in shoulder, hip, and knee
arthroscopy for athletes and active people of all ages, joins us
to discuss the importance of mobility, why women and men must
lift heavy weights for optimal health, how to be a peak
performer, and more. 


“My life’s work has been really dispelling the myth that aging is
an inevitable decline from the vitality of youth down some
slippery slope to frailty and dispelling the myth that there’s
nothing we can do about it.” 


“Why do I get up and go to work? It’s because I know that by
saving mobility, whether I save your knee, whether I make your
shoulder not hurt, any of the things we do, by saving your
mobility I’m actually saving you from the ravages of chronic
disease.” 


“What people don’t realize, because we’re talking mostly about
hot flashes, and brain fog, and sleep disturbances, is that the
muscular-skeletal effects of losing your estrogen are profound
and permanent.” 


“80% of all women in midlife, as their hormones fluctuate, have
muscular-skeletal pain and 25% have such severe pain it’s
disabling.”


“When people fall down — usually in the 70s, both men and women —
and break their hip, 50% of men and women do not return to
pre-fall function and 30% of men die.” 


“There is clear data that lifting heavy is what will maintain
your power and as we age that’s what we need.”


“I find that being in a state of peak performance is having the
faith to believe that we can do something that we cannot
see.”
