Because getting older doesn't mean slowing down—it means getting smarter about how you move. Welcome to The Exercise Doc! Hi there, I'm so glad you're here. I'm Dr. Michael Fedak—a board-certified internist and sports medicine physician with over 35 years of experience helping people in the St. Louis area stay healthy, active, and (as I like to say) upright. I earned my Biology degree from Washington University, went to medical school at the University of Missouri in Columbia, and completed my internal medicine residency at St. John's Mercy in St. Louis. Translation: I've been in this game long enough to know what works, what doesn't, and what's just a trendy detox smoothie in disguise. The Exercise Doc newsletter was born from a simple idea: getting older doesn't have to mean slowing down. With the right tools—practical advice, some movement, better habits, and the occasional nudge from someone like me—you can stay strong, sharp, and steady well into your later decades. Each week, I'll be sharing tips on health, nutrition, exercise, balance training, fall prevention, brain health, and whatever else helps you age with energy, confidence, and purpose. I'll also sprinkle in a little humor (because let's face it—laughter is cheaper than therapy and easier on the knees than squats). Whether you're a weekend walker, a reluctant exerciser, or just here to figure out why your mattress might be trying to kill you, you're in the right place. Thanks for trusting me with your time and inbox. I promise to keep it informative, enjoyable, and—most importantly—helpful to your health journey. Let's outsmart Father Time together.
