50 is the new 50 | Optimizing performance and how to train while middle aged with Dr. Gary Chimes HIDEF Performance Podcast

    • Health & Fitness

On this episode I sit down for one of my favorite conversations I have had on the podcast for a while. Dr. Gary Chimes is a medical doctor in Bellevue, WA and specializes in Sports Medicine. His practice is unique in the fact that he focused on helping people optimize their physical health and reach the next level of performance.



Dr. Chimes is currently writing a book with a working title of "50 is the new 50". This is all about how to get the most out of your middle ages. He touches on some great points and tactical advice for those of you aged 40-60.



Dive into the topic of specialization and variance in physical therapy, comparing the differences between smoking and obesity, and how healthcare providers can tackle these topics without coming off as rude. Explore how physical therapists can safely teach patients to squat and progress, as well as the concept of subspecialty and the importance of allowing providers to focus on their areas of expertise.



Finally, join us as we explore athletic self-selection and skill sets, discussing the different muscle fibers and the importance of precision and excellence in endurance sports. We reflect on our athletic journeys and background. Listen in as we share our thoughts on navigating risk and middle age, exercise strategies for aging, and the importance of stress management and domain specificity in our lives.
