Thanks, Dr. Ratey. Thinking about Mike Pantaleo's comment it seems that for some people there is a natural resistance to exercise. Many people (myself included) who do enjoy exercise have days when they'd rather not do it. Then it becomes mind over matter, in my experience. The will to benefit from the exercise must outweigh the resistance. Having a schedule seems to help, and having other people to exercise with, or paying a personal trainer...

I have a question if exercise is good for you why is there some people who simply do not like to exercise and as a result don't? Is there anything you can do to overcome this negative feeling?

I am not sure that this episode will be transcribed soon, but I suggest that you post a comment on the Discussion Forum because that is where Diane Jacobs, who has transcribed several other episodes, is likely to see your request. Also, we could do a poll and see if there are other people with the same interest. Here is a link to the thread about episode 38: http://www.docartemis.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?fid=09&topic_id=1212253950 Just as a matter of interest. How are you listening to the podcasts? Are you using an mp3 player or listening on your computer? I would guess that if you were listening on a laptop the problem with the sound would be at its worse. Rest assured that I have learned my lesson and I will work to avoid this problem in the future. Thanks for taking the time to let me know your concerns. Ginger Peter,

I know you apologised in advance for the poor quality of the sound, but really it was so terrible I haven't been able to continue listening. I'm really disappointed and wondered whether you or one of your fans might be able to transcribe this interview and post it so those of us with presbyacousis might be able to enjoy this episode as much as all the others.

This may partly reflect the influence of his co-author Sandra Blakeslee. He told me that she helped him put his ideas into a form that regular people could understand. Clint,
