Ageing Well: Longevity and Movement with Dr James Timmons

Ever heard the expression “use it or lose
it”? This week we speak to Dr James Timmons, an
Exercise Specialist who aims to live to 100 independent and
strong!


We are living longer, “old school thinking was that
as you age you slow down, we now know that as you age you should
be doing more… There needs to be a shift in the thought process
from the government - we need to keep people active
longer…”


With 10 years of Strength and Conditioning experience working
with clinical populations, Dr James received his BSc in Sport and
Exercise Science from the University College Dublin in 2012, MSc
in Strength and Conditioning from the University of Edinburgh in
2013, and PhD from University College Dublin in 2018. 


His doctoral studies focussed on exercise training and dietary
strategies to support improvements in body composition and
physical function in older adults. While carrying out his PhD, he
also worked as an exercise specialist in Medfit Proactive
Healthcare where his focus was on improving muscle mass, strength
and function in adults over the age of 65. 


The owner and founder of www.youagewell.com, James’ mantra
is to “match health span to lifespan” with
a primary focus on improving movement patterns and quality of
life of adults over 50.


James takes us through the many ways in which we can prevent,
delay and improve muscle atrophy, osteoporosis, increase muscle
mass and stay mobile with practical tips and the data to back it.


We hope that James’ insights motivate you to use and celebrate
your body as much as it motivated us!


Lots of Love


Dave & Steve
