Welcome to Episode 1 of the Frum Health Club Podcast — where we explore the connection between health, fitness, and living a full life as a frum Yid.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Rubie Minkowitz — orthopedic surgeon, proud member of the Chabad community in Los Angeles, devoted husband and father, and an exceptional athlete. At 51 years old, he runs 60–100 miles per week, cycles more than 40 miles at a time, and recently completed a full marathon in under 3 hours and 30 minutes.
We discuss:
✅ His health and fitness journey, and how he balances Torah study, family time, and a demanding medical career
✅ Why health is often neglected in our communities — and how to change that
✅ Practical tips for busy people to improve fitness, diet, and sleep
✅ How Torah values and discipline drive his training
✅ Lessons in emunah, bitachon, and resilience from running and cycling
Whether you’re already active or just starting your health journey, this conversation will inspire you to take action today.
