Renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Vonda Wright is on a mission to change the narrative about aging, believing that we have the agency to make small choices that can significantly impact our health.
During her recent Q&A session at the 2025 Revitalize summit in Miami, Dr. Wright shared her simple yet effective FACE method for building an unbreakable mindset and improving longevity and mobility. The four-step approach focuses on:
F – Flexibility (& Mobility): Maintaining flexibility through daily movements like getting up and down from the floor, taking the stairs, and engaging in a broad spectrum of activities.
A – Aerobic Exercise: Embracing low-to-moderate intensity cardio exercises, such as base training and incorporating high-intensity intervals, to improve overall fitness without overexerting oneself.
C – Carrying a Load: Incorporating strength training through weightlifting or alternative methods like rucking to build core strength, lift substantial loads, and engage in outdoor activities.
E – Equilibrium (Balance): Prioritizing balance and stability through rebalancing exercises, staying upright, and avoiding falls to maintain independence and mobility with age.
By focusing on these four key areas, individuals can take consistent, intentional steps towards building a resilient body and aging on their own terms.
