EP. 180: Lifting Heavy & Staying Fit In Your 70’s | Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum

In this episode of The Dr. Tyna Show, I’m joined by my inspiring friend Dr. Sandra Scheinbaum, a clinical psychologist, health coach, and head of a comprehensive health coaching program at the Institute for Functional Medicine. At 74, Sandra is the most active and vibrant woman I know, and she doesn’t take her mobility or strength for granted. We discuss her approach to staying fit and active, making exercise fun and approachable, and the importance of daily movement. Sandra also shares her insights on healthy aging, the challenges of watching peers face health issues, and the exercises that can help maintain long-term strength and cognitive health. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone looking to prioritize their health and vitality at any age!
