ABOUT DR. BREWER
Dr. Brewer started as an Emergency Doctor. After seeing too many preventable heart attacks, he went to Johns Hopkins to learn Preventive Medicine. While there, he went on the run the post-graduate training program (residency) in Preventive Medicine. From there, he made a career of practicing and managing preventive medicine and primary care clinics. His later role in this area was Chief Medical Officer for Premise, which has close to 1,000 primary care/prevention clinics. He was also the Chief Medical Officer for MDLIVE, the second largest telemedicine company. More recently, he founded PrevMed, a heart attack, and stroke prevention clinic.
At PrevMed, we focus on heart attack, stroke, and cognitive decline. We serve patients who have already experienced an event as well as those who have not developed a diagnosis or event. Dr. Brewer provides services via telemedicine or in person if you're in the Lexington, KY area. We find a lot of undiagnosed Pre-Diabetes or Insulin Resistance. Treating unrecognized risk factors like Pre-Diabetes allows reduction of risk and prevention of disease.

ABOUT THIS VIDEO:
I just did a mini-series re: muscle loss in aging. It's deceptive in 2 ways: 1. it's very common; and 2. it's lethal. There was clear recognition of the problem. But, as they say, every solution creates a new set of problems; this touched off some debate re: intensity vs repetition in muscle training. This video starts with viewer opinions: 1. some said repetition; 2. others said intensity; and 3. still others said both. Then the video gets into the opinion of 2 athletes that have obtained multiple world records in muscular development & strength: Arnold Schwarzenegger & Richard "the Ant" Hawthorne. Although Arnold needs no intro, Hawthorne does get one. He obtained the nickname "the Ant" by owning several world record in the highest ratio of weight lifted per pound of body weight. Both athletes said the same re: reps vs intensity. Then the video ends by introducing a couple of other concepts; maybe there's more than reps vs intensity in physical development for prevention of disability.
