"The official orthopedic surgeon of the LA Clippers, who also counts Kris Jenner as a patient, lives an active lifestyle and commits to three early morning workouts a week in the hopes of staying strong and mobile. Snibbe told Business Insider he believes this helped him avoid needing a second surgery for a slipped disc, as well as regularly run up and down the stairs of his two-storey house without breaking a sweat,"
"From around the age of 30, we naturally start losing muscle mass, in a process called sarcopenia. Strength training as we age can help us maintain muscle mass and in turn the ability to do daily activities like standing from a chair, Snibbe said. "When you are in your seventies and you have a lot of muscle mass, you can continue to travel, hike, and walk around the world," Snibbe said."
Dr. Jason Snibbe follows a disciplined fitness routine at 53, balancing thrice-weekly strength sessions with daily flexibility work to maintain muscle mass and mobility. He trains with a personal trainer at 7 a.m. three times weekly and credits strength training with preventing further back surgery and allowing high-volume surgical work without lower-back pain. He emphasizes countering age-related sarcopenia beginning around age 30 by preserving muscle to retain functional abilities like standing, hiking, and traveling. Early-career lapses in fitness motivated renewed commitment to exercise and weight loss, reinforcing the role of consistent training for long-term physical independence.
