Spoiler: it's not just hormones. •

Short term weight loss sounds great BUT it's not all fat – it's muscle! Muscle will be much harder to regain as we age because of anabolic resistance..  Clothes might feel loose and you get weight loss compliments. But short term weight loss is just giving a “false positive” honeymoon period. This might mean you divorced muscle, the love of your life.   1. Muscle Mass Loss (Sarcopenia) Protein Deficiency Protein is essential for building and maintaining muscle tissue. Insufficient protein intake exacerbates muscle atrophy and increases the risk of falls and injuries. Excessive Cardio Prolonged cardio can lead to a breakdown of muscle tissue for energy, particularly if glycogen stores are depleted. This can worsen age-related muscle loss and counteract maintaining strength and function. 2. Bone Health (Osteoporosis) Protein Deficiency Protein is needed for bone health and bone density. Inadequate protein intake, especially after menopause, increases the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Osteoporosis Risks After menopause, risk of osteoporosis increases due to declining estrogen levels and can weaken bones prone to fracture. Sarcopenia and Osteoporosis Link Having both increases the risk of falls and fractures. Poor nutrition leads to sarcopenic obesity and increases the risk of osteoporosis. 3. Other Negative Effects Reduced Physical Function Since inadequate protein leads to muscle loss, this reduces strength, impaired balance, and decreased ability to perform daily activities. Slow-Healing Injuries Protein repairs tissues. Deficiency can slow wound healing and recovery from injuries. Weakened Immune Function Amino acids from protein build antibodies and maintain a healthy immune system. Low protein intake can lead to frequent illnesses and infections. Potential Cardiac Issues (Excessive Cardio) Associated with potential adverse cardiac effects, such as myocardial fibrosis and an increased risk of atrial fibrillation, in some individuals. Musculoskeletal Injuries (Excessive Cardio) Increases the risk of musculoskeletal issues like osteoarthritis and stress fractures.   What Can You Do Instead of A Short Term Weight Loss Recommendations: Prioritize protein intake with 30 grams each meal. Balance cardio and strength training to build and maintain muscle mass. Listen to your body and avoid pushing yourself too hard or engaging in prolonged, strenuous exercise if it causes excessive fatigue or pain.   References:  Chucherd O, Vallibhakara O, Vallibhakara SA, Sophonsritsuk A, Chattrakulchai K, Anantaburarana M.

Adam Jablin: Harnessing Compulsions to Fuel Passions | The Hopeaholics PodcastIn this powerful episode of The Hopeaholics Podcast, Adam Jablin, a recovery advocate, author, and creator of the Rewiring Addiction Loops Masterclass, shares his transformative journey from addiction to nearly two decades of sobriety, offering raw insights into overcoming personal struggles and embracing spiritual growth. Growing up as the self-described “fat kid” in New Jersey and later Boca Raton, Florida, Adam faced relentless bullying that fueled his extroverted, people-pleasing personality and eventual descent into substance abuse, starting with alcohol and escalating to speed by eighth grade, which temporarily masked his insecurities by transforming him into the “most attractive kid” in ninth grade. Despite achieving outward success with a multimillion-dollar business and family life, Adam's internal turmoil led to a profound emotional rock bottom, marked by existential despair and a confrontation with his ex-wife, who orchestrated a life-changing intervention with professional Michael Walsh. At the Hanley Center, Adam's encounter with a Catholic Priest and a striking UV light demonstration of invisible fingerprints sparked a spiritual awakening, shifting his view of God from an angry, judgmental figure to a loving force, aligning with his Jewish roots and newfound belief in a compassionate higher power. Now, with 19 years of sobriety, Adam channels his experiences into his New York Times bestselling self-published book, co-authored with his mentor, a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer with 56 years sober, and inspires others through his masterclass, emphasizing tools like “move a muscle, change a thought” to quiet the negative inner voice and live in alignment with pure motives.#thehopeaholics   #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #AddictionRecovery #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

Do race organizers or riders bear the blame? We explore the UCI's priorities, enforcement of their own rules, and creation of new rules with marginal benefits. We also discuss the race. Jonas Vingegaard says he's heavier, more muscular, and more powerful than ever. Will that close the gap to Pogacar? The early signs, after the Stage 5 TT, suggest an emphatic "no"? Is he solving the 'wrong' problem, and how will that increased mass play out against a relentless Pogacar in the mountains?We also Spotlight listener insights in Ross Replies (52:00), with a focus on David Roche's Western States DNF and his pre-race transparency. You wondered whether he created mental and emotional pressure on himself by being so open, and we discuss. In Listener Lens (58:25), we celebrate some Discourse success stories.

Skeletal muscle is one of the most abundant tissues in the human body, representing approximately 40% of body weight. Under certain circumstances, skeletal muscle can be regenerated through satellite cells, a reservoir of quiescent muscle stem cells, that can be activated with injury or in certain diseases and give rise to newly formed multi-nucleated myotubes and myofibers. However, the regenerative potential of muscle is diminished or is completely absent in the course of normal aging, certain diseases, and space travel. For example, time spent in microgravity can have a profound impact on human physiology, especially the muscular system, as astronauts lose up to 20% of their lean muscle mass and up to half of their strength.  The identification of countermeasures against the effects of muscle regeneration, including microgravity, is an increasing priority for an aging population and continued space travel. Experiments in microgravity, conducted on the International Space Station, offer a unique opportunity to understand muscle regeneration and the effects of microgravity. Our guests today will discuss muscle regeneration, their muscle-on-a-chip platform that mimics salient aspects of impaired muscle regeneration, and the feasibility of drug screening in microgravity.GuestsNgan Huang, PhD, Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Stanford University, USASoochi Kim, PhD, Department of Biotechnology and Bioinformatics, Korea University, KoreaHostJanet Rossant, Editor-in-Chief, Stem Cell Reports and The Gairdner FoundationSupporting ContentPaper link:  Skeletal muscle-on-a-chip in microgravity as a platform for regeneration modeling and drug screeningAbout Stem Cell ReportsStem Cell Reports is the open access, peer-reviewed journal of the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) for communicating basic discoveries in stem cell research, in addition to translational and clinical studies.

Dr. Arny Ferrando shares groundbreaking research on essential amino acids, muscle protein synthesis, and emerging cognitive benefits of targeted amino acid supplementation.• Essential amino acids (EAAs) produce greater anabolic response than whole proteins due to requiring no digestion and producing higher blood concentrations• Free-form EAAs need only 15 grams for maximal response compared to 40 grams of whey protein• Taking EAAs one hour before exercise provides optimal muscle protein synthesis due to increased blood flow during workouts• Physiological aging matters more than chronological age when determining nutritional interventions• New research shows EAAs may enhance cognitive function by modulating dopamine/serotonin balance• EAA supplementation helps mitigate muscle loss during bed rest or recovery from injury• The mTOR pathway's connection to cancer is often misinterpreted and shouldn't discourage proper protein intake• Testosterone replacement therapy should be based on symptoms rather than numbers alone• Higher protein turnover is energetically expensive, potentially helping with weight managementTry combining essential amino acids, protein, and creatine supplementation for optimal results, especially when recovering from injury or dealing with age-related muscle loss.

"Your periods shouldn't be unbearably painful. Most women in their 50s will experience dryness. Muscle mass matters more than being thin." These are just some of the straightforward truths nurse midwife Claire McStacy shares in this comprehensive conversation about women's health through the decades.From establishing care in your twenties to navigating the changes of menopause, this episode cuts through the noise of trending TikTok videos to deliver practical guidance on what's actually happening in your body and what you can do about it. McStacy brings 23 years of experience to address questions many women have but don't know who to ask: When should cervical cancer screening begin? (Age 21.) What does perimenopause actually feel like? (Brain fog, irregular periods, and possibly up to ten years of symptoms.) How do hormones affect your heart health after menopause? (Significantly, women lose estrogen's protective effects, making heart attack risk similar to men's, though symptoms present differently.)The conversation tackles critical but often overlooked topics, including PCOS (affecting 8% of women), the importance of preconception health, managing fibroids (particularly common among African American women) and the benefits and risks of hormone replacement therapy. Throughout, McStacy emphasizes the importance of establishing and maintaining a relationship with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.Perhaps most powerfully, this episode challenges listeners to prioritize self-care at every stage of life. As McStacy notes, "When you have time for yourself, you have time for everybody else." Whether you're concerned about fertility in your twenties, managing work-life balance in your thirties, noticing perimenopausal symptoms in your forties or navigating post-menopausal changes in your fifties, this comprehensive guide helps you understand what's normal, when to seek help and how to advocate for your health.For more content from Centra Health check us out on the following channels.YouTubeFacebookInstagramTwitter

Dr Michael Lange and Roger P Schulman hosted the longest running live medical talk show called "ask the dr" today on July 5th, 2025. Topic today was, can specific nutrients help reverse dementia & slow down age-related muscle loss called sarcopenia? They started off discussing protective eye wear for everyone. They also discussed how important an eye exam is before kids start back to school. Dr Lange goes into details what is behind his philosophy of Fortifeye Vitamins and why he started the Fortifeye Vitamin company. Fortifeye Vitamin company is evidence biased fully transparent vitamin company based on "the right ingredients, right science, right for you" philosophy. Dr Lange discussed what makes the Fortifeye Vitamin company so different form the competition. He did also discuss with Roger Schulman how he reversed his mother's dementia. Dr Lange has his mother on a modified ketogenic diet called The Lange Survival Diet. He also has her taking Fortifeye Fit Pro, Fortifeye Focus and Brain, Fortifeye Super Omega and a few other supplements. He feels that is is a combination of diet, exercise, sleep, hydration, socializing and specific Fotifeye supplements that have helped to reverse her dementia at 97. He really feels the Fortifeye Focus and Brain is responsible for her cognitive improvement. Fortifeye Focus and Brain is the exact same formula as Fortifeye Focus with the addition of a patented trademarked form of citicoline called Cognizin. There is a lot of clinical evidence that Cognizin can help to support a healthy brain and improve working memory. Nutrition for Dementia is becoming a huge topic at conferences. Dr Lange and Roger discussed what they ate for breakfast this am and how important protein is in everyone's diet. They also discussed the importance of taking some time off to relax. Dr Lange stated he had to run two tapes for the "ask the dr" medical talks shows over the last 2 weeks because he was at the Lumenis conference learning the latest with Opti Light and Opti Lift technology to help his patients with dry eyes. The Lange Eye Institute in The Villages Florida is the only dry eye center in the Villages that has Opti Light IPL and Opti Lift both made by Lumenis. This is one of the reasons the Lange Eye Institute is considered one of the top Dry Eye centers in the Villages and Florida. Dr Michael Lange is an expert using the Opti Light and Optilift to help his dry eye patients. Dr Lange also discussed how Fortifeye Vitamins is one the sponsors of the ISSN sports nutrition conference this year in Delray Fl. The sports nutrition conference focused on specific ingredients like: Creapure Creatine, Astareal Astaxanthin, MyHMB, Collagen Tripeptides and peptides and Whey Protein, Omega 3 and much more. Fortifeye FIt Pro has all of the ingredients the conference focused on. Roger and Dr Lange commented on how much better their workouts are when taking Fortifeye Fit Pro. During the show Dr Lange stated they will run a 50% discount on Cartier, Guci, St Laurant and Mont Blanc frames for two weeks. Dr Lange also stated recently "ask the dr" was ranked at#3 place in medical talk shows only to be beat by Dr Phill and The Doctors. The Dr show, "ASK THE DOCTOR" also ranked # 5 and # 3 respectively in top medical pod casts and top eye care podcasts. "Ask the Dr" syndicated doctor hosted live talk show is the longest running medical talk show in the country for over 32 years. Both discussed the power of the carotenoids in Fortifeye Focus and how important it is at helping to protect the eyes and skin form the uv and blue light. Roger asked Dr Lange "what is the number 1 thing you can do to promote wellness"? Dr Lange replied in some detail how important weight management is. He recommended people look over the Fortifeye Healthy Weight loss bundle on the Fortifeye.com site. He also mentioned his meal replacement supplement is almost complete called Fortifeye Fit Meal. Dr Lange announced they will be carrying a new low vision device called Eyedaptics at the Lange Eye Institute in the villages. This is the most advanced low vision technology on the market and anyone vision impaired or even blind may benefit from this technology. Looking for dry eye experts in The Villages then come to the Lange Eye Institute. #dementia, #nutrtionfordementia #reversedementia #Langesurvivaldiet #Lumenis #optilight #optilift #fortifeyefitpro #askthedoctor #askthedr #podcast #dietplan #dementiatreatment #dementiacare #dementiaprevention #longestrunningtalkshowisaskthedr #dryeyerelief #fortifeyevitamins #preworkoutfuel #postworkoutfuel #eyedaptics #dryeyeexpertsinthevillages #drmichaellange #rogerschulman #weightmanagementSupport the show: https://www.drmichaellange.com/category/ask-the-doctor/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listener Menopause Exercise Question: Are You Exercising Too Much, Too Little, or Just Right?”   Recently, a listener asked a menopause exercise question, "I'm doing strength training three times a week for 30 minutes. Is that too much? If you have wondered, or wonder what is enough, too much or the Goldilocks for you, this is for you.   Based on a study in Ireland called Menowell (not to be confused with the bars), almost 70% of us get our information from friends and 50% get information from social media. So, beware. Even researchers right now are spending a lot of time and energy getting eyeballs and making shocking statements. Instead of merely sharing the facts, they're being as inflammatory as the influencers they claim not to be.    Quick Overview: Menopause can bring bone loss, muscle loss, metabolic changes, mood shifts & symptoms like hot flashes and sleep troubles. Promise: By the end, you'll know how to calibrate exercise for maximum benefit and minimal burnout, even if you're not experiencing any of these.    Why exercise is non-negotiable? Exercise is medicine.  Muscle is medicine and an endocrine organ.  Muscle is HRT if you allow it to be.  Like any other medicine, the right dose and timing are crucial.    How much is too little? I could answer in a very generic way: Minimum WHO/HHS guidelines:  150 min moderate aerobic + 2 strength sessions weekly  Under 150 min weekly leads to missed benefits like bone density maintenance and cardiometabolic protection   This is not a generic podcast and you're not a generic woman.  So, let's answer with the uniqueness you deserve. Whether you're exercising too little or too much your body leaves both objective and subjective data.    Red flags of Undertraining and Overtraining: Persistent fatigue Ongoing symptoms Plateau in strength/mood/weight.   More Answers to Your Menopause Exercise Questions   When exercise becomes too much: Excessive high-intensity sessions >3× weekly without recovery ups injury risk—especially for connective tissue for women in midlife.  Overtraining stress can aggravate symptoms, disturb sleep, mood, and adrenal health, appetite/cravings and libido.    Finding the sweet spot: Measure muscle and body fat (See Resources for my smart scale picks.)  Measure waist girth  Measure bone density through Dexa scan    Do-It-Yourself checklist: Track energy, sleep, mood, focus, libido, digestion, elimination (See Resources for Flipping50 Progress Tracker)  Between your objective and subjective measures, are you getting what you want? Not just immediate but long term?    References:  Cooper, D., Ward, K., Kavanagh, R. and O'Connor, S.

Muscle plays a powerful role in keeping us healthy and living longer, but most people start losing it after age 30—and that loss can drive chronic disease and early aging. The good news is that strength training and eating enough protein can help prevent this decline, improve blood sugar control, and reduce the risk of issues like diabetes, dementia, heart disease, and depression. Muscle isn't just for movement—it acts like an organ, releasing special compounds called myokines that fight inflammation and support everything from brain function to hormone balance. Resistance training also boosts mood, sharpens memory, strengthens immunity, and supports better sex hormone levels as we age. To get the most out of it, aim for strength training two to four times a week, and make sure you're getting enough high-quality protein—especially at your first and last meals of the day. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, why strength training, muscle, and protein intake are vital for a healthy metabolism, hormones, longevity, and much more. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is board certified in family medicine and completed a combined research and clinical fellowship in geriatrics and nutritional sciences at Washington University in St. Louis.  She completed her undergraduate training in nutritional sciences at the University of Illinois. Dr. Lyon is a subject-matter expert and educator in the practical application of protein types and levels for health, performance, aging, and disease prevention. She has continued to receive mentorship from Dr. Donald Layman, Ph.D., over the course of two decades to help bring protein metabolism and nutrition from the bench to the bedside.  This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if your low energy, poor sleep, and lack of drive aren't just signs of getting older… but signs that you've stopped taking care of yourself?   In this episode, I talked with Ali Gilbert, a coach who works with men on their health, hormones, and habits. We got into why so many men feel like they've lost their edge and why it's not just about testosterone. It's about stress, poor recovery, and not asking for help until things get worse.   We covered what really causes low sex drive, how stress and past experiences can affect performance, and why some men feel stuck trying to live up to an outdated idea of masculinity. Ali shared what she sees with men in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who've spent years focused on work and family, only to realize their health has taken a back seat. We also ran through common myths about testosterone and which methods actually help.   Key Takeaways:   Masculinity doesn't mean hiding your emotions Low sex drive and energy are often signs of stress, not just low testosterone You can't lead, protect, or provide at your best if your health is falling apart.    Resources:   Ali Gilbert is a men's health expert known for helping men optimize their hormones, especially testosterone, through smart training, lifestyle strategies, and lab-based health insights. She's often called the “Queen of Men's Health” and is the founder of the Silverback Summit, an event focused on advancing men's health and performance.   Silverback Summit  https://ali-gilbert.com/silverback-summit-2025/    @thealigilbert (IG) https://www.instagram.com/thealigilbert/    _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.
