#17 - Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh: Exercise Across the Lifespan
Manage episode 424685887 series 3493130
Dr. Maria Fiatarone Singh is a geriatrician specializing in exercise science to treat her patients. As a physician, researcher, and professor, Maria has led clinical trials in the US, Australia, Norway, and France. She has her own private practice clinic where she prescribes exercise to patients and is the chair of exercise and sports science at the University of Sydney.
In this episode, I learn about the science of exercise and its effect on the body throughout the lifespan. Maria talks about the role of exercise on key conditions such as frailty and high blood pressure, and she breaks down the importance of exercise for the heart, bone, brain, metabolism, and skeletal muscle. She even emphasizes that exercise can have a bigger impact than antidepressants in metal health treatment. Maria also explains to me why doctors don’t prescribe exercise and why our medical education system fails us.
