How strength training helps women age healthier | Dr. Brenda Lau | TEDxSurrey
In this TEDx Talk, Dr. Brenda Lau, a pain specialist, challenges the conventional view that weakness is an inevitable part of aging, especially for women. Sharing her personal diagnosis of osteopenia despite an active lifestyle, she highlights healthcare's blind spot in prioritizing strength. Dr. Lau introduces three simple daily questions—Move, Lift, Protein—as biological switches to rebuild muscle and bone density. This approach, grounded in research and patient stories, reframes strength as freedom, empowering individuals to cultivate resilience, mobility, and confidence throughout life, rather than passively accepting frailty.
