🎙 Frum Health Club Podcast – Episode 3: Shmarya Richler
At 59, Shmarya Richler was prescribed blood pressure pills. He also battled reflux, gout, elevated sugar, and excess weight. Instead of accepting a lifetime of medication, he chose a different path. Ten years later, he is 75 pounds lighter, off meds, and has completed seven marathons. His journey is a powerful blend of resilience, faith, and taking one small step at a time.
In this episode, we cover:
✅ The wake-up call and the first simple steps that actually stuck
✅ How walk–run intervals grew into half marathons and then full marathons
✅ Portion control, “cutting down” instead of “cutting out,” and why diets fail
✅ Rambam on guarding your health and building daily movement into life
✅ Blue Zones, consistency, and why movement beats intensity
✅ Throwing away the pill bottle at the NYC Marathon finish line
✅ Practical advice to start in environments where unhealthy norms feel “normal”
✅ Stories that inspire: running with Parkinson’s advocates and spreading mitzvos on race day
Whether you are just starting or returning after years, Shmarya’s story shows it is never too late to change your health and your life.
