An MRI showing early disc bulges in your spine can motivate lifestyle changes now. The speaker argues that choices in your 30s and 40s determine whether you can move freely at 80, 90, or 100.
Just by being able to see and show someone a picture of their spine and show them the little disc bulges that are starting to develop helps them understand that the way they're living their life in their 30s and 40s is going to affect their mobility most likely in their 60s and 70s. And why is that important? Because mobility is one of the most critical things for actually living a long life. So it's kind of crazy to think that there are things you can do when you're in your 30s that can really affect whether you're going to live to 80 or 100. And knowing about this is just so critically important to making those lifestyle modifications.
