Women May Be More At Risk For These Injuries With Age—Here’s How To Protect Yourself

Host and editorial director Rich Dorment poses the questions: “How can I feel better in this body, how can I make it perform better, and how can I make it last so that I can be doing what I want when I'm 40, 60, 80?”

To answer this, Rich gets the perspectives of Gus Kenworthy, a professional skier and Olympic silver medalist who “has subjected his body to all manner of trials and traumas,” and Ali Krieger, who endured broken bones and torn ACLs and MCLs on her groundbreaking journey to two World Cup titles with the U.S. Women's National Team—and an NWSL Championship win with Gotham FC in 2023, the year she retired from pro soccer.

And to help make sense of everything that happens to the body when we get injured—and simply as we age—is Michael J. Alaia, MD, sports medicine surgeon and professor of orthopedic surgery at NYU Langone Health.
