How strength training helps women age healthier | Dr. Brenda Lau | TEDxSurrey

In this talk, Dr. Brenda Lau, a pain specialist with over 25 years of experience, challenges the idea that weakness is an inevitable part of aging. After being diagnosed with osteopenia despite decades of exercise, she realized that health care overlooks the body’s core system: strength. Drawing on personal experience, research, and patient stories, she introduces three simple daily questions—Move, Lift, Protein—that rebuild strength at any age. These are not fitness trends, but biological switches that protect muscles, bones, and independence, especially for women. Dr. Lau reframes strength as freedom, urging us to stop accepting frailty as normal and to actively build resilience, mobility, and confidence throughout life. Dr. Brenda Lau is a dual-fellowship anesthesiologist, pain specialist, and hypnotherapist who has spent over 25 years helping people heal when medicine alone isn’t enough. A pioneer in Pain Medicine in Canada and the founder of Changepain — the country’s largest accredited interdisciplinary pain and rehab clinic — she and her team have guided more than 65,000 people toward recovery.

A recognized leader in pain-care standards, system advocacy, and education, Dr. Lau’s mission began in childhood, watching her parents endure poverty and pain in silence and realizing, “There is more to them than what I see.” Decades later, as both physician and patient navigating cancer, osteoporosis, and menopause, she transformed adversity into frameworks for healing that unite science, mind mastery, compassion, and lived experience.

Witnessing how words shape biology and results, she invites everyone to ignite the largest modern health transformation — empowering all to age strong together. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
