EXCLUSIVE: 72 Year Old Nun Starts Powerlifting For Health & Longevity S03E12

from The Plant Based News Podcast · host Plant Based News

At 72 years old, Sister Pat Farrell just competed in her first-ever powerlifting competition and won a medal. A Dominican nun from Sandra Fall, Sister Pat benched 77 pounds and deadlifted 160, proving it's never too late to start training or to explore a plant-based lifestyle. In this exclusive interview, Sister Pat shares how strength training has improved her back and joint health, helped her age pain-free, and even inspired other sisters to get more active. She also opens up about her decades-long plant-based journey, the influence of her faith, and how veganism and spirituality intertwine through a deeper respect for all living beings. Joined by powerlifting coach Katya, the conversation dives into aging, muscle loss, motivation, and the value of resistance training for everyone no matter your age or belief system. Whether you're 27 or 72, this video is a powerful reminder: it’s never too late to begin.
