Podcasts about muscle mass

Forget the scale - it doesn't tell you what actually predicts longevity. In this episode, Dr. Barrett walks through a 5-part scorecard you can start tracking from home: waist-to-height ratio, grip strength, metabolic markers (glucose, insulin, A1C), VO2 max, and sleep quality. He breaks down the research behind each one and why these fundamentals matter more than any supplement stack, peptide, or hormone protocol - plus simple, practical ways to start improving your score today.. . . Watch the episode on YouTube here!

Sophie Cunningham lit the internet on fire when she said we need to protect the safety of girls and the integrity of women's sports, and the conversation quickly turned into another political battleground even though the underlying question is really about biology, anatomy, and physiology. Inside today's episode, I break down what the research says about testosterone suppression, puberty, and the physiological differences between men and women that don't disappear just because testosterone levels come down.

In this episode of the Optimal Body podcast, doctors of physical therapy, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom explore sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength. They explain that while muscle mass peaks around age 25 and gradually declines, sarcopenia is not inevitable. Lifestyle factors like inactivity and poor nutrition significantly accelerate muscle loss. The hosts highlight resistance training as the most effective intervention, citing a 12-week study where sarcopenia prevalence dropped from 35% to zero. They encourage listeners to start strength training and optimize nutrition, framing sarcopenia as an environment- and activity-related condition rather than an unavoidable consequence of aging.

Sedentary lifestyles and poor nutrition are major contributors, more so than just aging itself. 6:10 The hosts discuss the challenges of maintaining a consistent workout routine while raising young children and feeling exhausted. 7:43 The prevalence of sarcopenia increases significantly with age, rising from 5% in your 60s to over 50% after 80. 9:12 While overall prevalence is similar, women can experience accelerated muscle loss after menopause due to hormonal changes like decreased estrogen. 11:09 Resistance training is the number one evidence-based, non-pharmaceutical treatment for preventing and reversing sarcopenia 12:01 A 12-week study showed a progressive resistance training and nutrition program reduced sarcopenia prevalence from 35% to 0%. 13:29 Strength training reduces muscle breakdown, enhances muscle growth factors, mitigates inflammation, and triggers muscle hypertrophy to build new muscle. 14:22 Improving strength also...

Is getting lighter always the answer for runners chasing faster race times? Matt Fox is joined by Dr David Lipman for a short, sharp discussion about weight loss, performance, RED-S and the risks of taking leanness too far.

Although reducing excess body fat may improve running economy and performance, there is a lower limit where continued weight loss can begin to compromise health, recovery and long-term performance. Matt shares his own experience of becoming faster after losing weight, while David explains why the human body cannot be treated like a simple machine. Some body fat may provide an important energy buffer because the absorption and use of fuel can vary between athletes and from day to day. They examine Ryan Hall's experience as a cautionary example. Hall initially improved while becoming extremely lean, but his performance and health eventually declined after taking the process too far. This temporary improvement can create a dangerous "more is better" mindset, where athletes continue restricting food because the early results appear positive. The conversation also breaks down Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport, commonly known as RED-S. Rather than viewing RED-S as the result of one isolated mistake, David describes it using a stress bucket model. Training load, inadequate fueling, poor sleep, work pressure and other life stressors can accumulate until the athlete's ability to recover is overwhelmed. Matt and David discuss carbohydrate periodization and carb cycling, including when lower-carbohydrate training may have a place within an endurance program. However, they stress that these strategies do not eliminate the risks of chronic under-fueling. Athletes still require adequate carbohydrates, protein and dietary fat to support performance, recovery and overall health. They also cover behaviours associated with disordered eating, the spectrum between structured nutrition and unhealthy restriction, whether runners should deliberately lose muscle mass, and the difficult tradeoffs that can exist between short-term performance and long-term health.

I am not nearly as concerned about my lifespan as my health span. I'd rather live 10 years less but be very capable physically and mentally than to linger an extra 10 years while physically and mentally impaired. I'm not much for gimmicks and hacks that address one thing and are promoted as cure alls. I don't believe in it. So with all that said, in this episode we are talking about muscle. My expert on the topic is Dr Gabrielle Lyon. I've known of Gabrielle for a long, long time through Functional Medicine circles. Her focus and expertise is Muscle-Centric Medicine. I am now a believer that a certain amount of muscle mass is critical for healthy aging. Not just for your physical capabilities, but also your mental abilities. I'm convinced all aspects of our bodies are intrinsically connected and the muscle in your bicep doesn't just help you lift things well, that muscle works to fortify and fuel your entire body, brain included. Since this recording, I'd say Gabrielle's notoriety has exploded. She has become the #1 evangelist, spokesperson, and recognized expert for the benefits of muscle and a primary leader in health and wellness overall. That said, I sometimes struggle with possibly a bit too much focus being given to muscle alone, and how much. I still enjoy running and riding and hiking and walking and endurance activities. But, I maintain a consistent, almost daily routine of push ups, pull ups, and dips, and will probably add more resistance activities over time. But I think you will gain valuable info from this discussion on aspects of muscle that you can address right away. I reference some of Gabrielle's book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well, and you can find her podcast at The Dr Gabrielle Lyon Show.

Send us Fan MailCan We Prevent Muscle Loss While Taking GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs?GLP-1 medications like Zepbound have changed the way we treat obesity. But as more people lose significant amounts of weight, another question has emerged:What happens to your muscle?It's normal to lose some lean mass—including muscle—during weight loss. But researchers are now asking whether preserving more muscle could improve long-term health, particularly as we age.In this episode, Dr. Eeks speaks with Dr. Richard Pratley, lead author of a new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial investigating whether an investigational antibody called apitegromab can help preserve lean mass in people taking tirzepatide (Zepbound).Together they discuss:• Why people lose lean mass during weight loss• What "lean mass" actually means—and why it matters• Why muscle preservation has become one of the biggest new questions in obesity medicine• How apitegromab works by blocking myostatin—a protein that acts like a brake on muscle growth• The results of the study and how much lean mass participants preserved• Why preserving lean mass doesn't automatically mean preserving strength• Whether concerns about muscle loss on GLP-1 medications have become exaggerated• The importance of resistance training and adequate protein during weight loss• Whether future obesity treatment will focus less on body weight and more on body composition• The bigger question: Are we entering an era where one medication leads to another—or is there a better path???This conversation explores one of the most interesting—and practical—questions in obesity research today: Can we lose fat without sacrificing too much muscle?Work with me?

A Note from James:I've been obsessed with anti-aging and longevity science for a long time. I've had many longevity researchers on the podcast, but this episode feels different because something we've been discussing for years has now moved into human trials.David Sinclair first came on the show in 2019, when his book Lifespan was published. He's a professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, and that first conversation changed how I lived. I started experimenting with intermittent fasting, paid much more attention to sleep, and began researching many of the supplements and lifestyle changes he discussed.But the most important idea David talked about wasn't a supplement. It was the possibility of reversing cellular age using Yamanaka factors—genes that can reset the instructions cells use to function. At the time, nobody knew whether this could be done safely without causing cancer or making cells lose their identities.Now, a therapy based on three of those factors has entered its first human clinical trial. The initial target is age-related damage to the optic nerve, including open-angle glaucoma and non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy. The trial is designed primarily to evaluate safety, but researchers will also measure visual function.David explains how this technology worked in mice and nonhuman primates, why the eye was chosen as the first organ, and how the same approach might eventually be applied to the liver, lungs, joints, skin, and brain.We also cover the practical questions people always ask him: NMN, NAD, metformin, berberine, testosterone, growth hormone, diet, fasting, sleep, exercise, and what David himself has started—or stopped—taking.This is still experimental science. Nobody yet knows whether the animal results will translate into meaningful benefits for humans. But for the first time, researchers are beginning to test that question directly.About Lifespan: Dr. David Sinclair founded Lifespan to deliver clear, science-backed health insights that help people live longer, more vibrant lives.He's now building the world's largest community dedicated to extending human longevity well beyond today's limits. Join early access at lifespan.com. New episodes of Lifespan with Dr. David Sinclair -- the #1 health and wellness podcast in its first season -- are now available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Lifespan.com.Episode Description:For years, longevity researchers have looked for ways to slow the biological processes associated with aging. Dr. David Sinclair and his collaborators are now testing a more ambitious possibility: whether damaged human cells can be restored to a younger, more functional state.The experimental therapy, ER-100, uses controlled expression of three transcription factors—OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4, collectively known as OSK. These are three of the four Yamanaka factors originally used to transform adult cells into pluripotent stem cells.Turning on all four factors can erase too much of a cell's identity and has produced tumors and fatal outcomes in animal experiments. Sinclair's team found that removing one factor, c-MYC, allowed cells to regain younger patterns of gene expression without completely returning to a stem-cell state.In preclinical studies, OSK restored youthful epigenetic patterns, promoted optic-nerve regeneration, and reversed vision loss in mouse models. Life Biosciences, a company Sinclair co-founded, has now moved the technology into a first-in-human Phase 1 trial involving people with open-angle glaucoma or non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.David explains how the therapy is delivered directly into the eye and activated using doxycycline, allowing clinicians to control when and for how long the genes are expressed. He also describes the development path that could follow if the treatment proves safe, including therapies targeting the liver and other organs, as well as future medicines that may reproduce similar effects without gene delivery.The conversation then turns to interventions available today. David distinguishes between promising research and claims that have moved ahead of the evidence, discussing NMN, injected NAD, growth hormone, testosterone, taurine, nattokinase, metformin, berberine, and nootropics.Throughout the episode, he emphasizes that no supplement has been shown to reproduce the effects researchers are attempting to achieve through partial epigenetic reprogramming—and that many of the most dramatic claims circulating online remain unsupported.Editorial Note:ER-100 is an investigational therapy. Authorization to begin a clinical trial does not mean the treatment has been proven safe or effective, nor has it been approved for clinical use.The Phase 1 study is primarily evaluating safety and tolerability, with additional measurements of visual function. Results from mice and nonhuman primates do not establish that the therapy will restore vision or reverse biological aging in people.The discussion of supplements, prescription medications, hormones, and lifestyle practices reflects the speakers' personal views and interpretation of the research. It should not be treated as individualized medical advice. Prescription drugs, hormones, supplements, and experimental longevity treatments should be discussed with an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.What You'll Learn:How partial epigenetic reprogramming differs from completely resetting a cell into a stem cell.Why researchers selected three Yamanaka factors—OCT4, SOX2, and KLF4—instead of using all four.What ER-100 is designed to do and why the first human trial focuses on the optic nerve.How doxycycline acts as an external switch controlling when the therapeutic genes are expressed.What Phase 1 researchers will measure and what would need to happen before ER-100 could become an approved treatment.Why the eye provides a useful starting point for testing cellular rejuvenation.What animal studies suggest about restoring vision, memory, liver function, joints, and skin.Why delivering rejuvenation therapies throughout the body is more difficult than treating one localized organ.The difference between oral NMN supplementation and intravenous or subcutaneous NAD.What current research does—and does not—show about growth hormone, testosterone, taurine, metformin, and berberine.Why muscle, exercise, sleep, diet, glucose regulation, and inflammation remain important even if rejuvenation therapies eventually succeed.How Sinclair's laboratory is searching for pills and small molecules that could mimic epigenetic reprogramming without gene therapy.Timestamped Chapters:[04:53] The First Human Trial Begins David discusses ER-100, FDA authorization, and the treatment of open-angle glaucoma and ischemic optic neuropathy.[06:52] What Are the Yamanaka Factors?How reprogramming genes can reset cellular instructions—and why using all four factors can be dangerous.[08:56] Reversing Vision Loss and Memory

Serena Williams has faced scrutiny over her body and power for her entire career, and this new narrative is just the latest chapter. Despite the World Anti-Doping Agency investigating the topic for years, somehow Williams has become the face of a recent conversation about whether or not GLP-1s are performance enhancing drugs.We are digging into what the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) actually says about GLP-1s in pro sports.

Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the growing interest in biological age versus chronological age and explains that biological aging is modifiable through consistent lifestyle choices. She outlines common measurement tools and biomarkers, including epigenetic clocks (DNA methylation), telomere length, VO2 max, inflammatory markers, grip strength, and muscle mass, noting that genetics account for only about 25–40% of biological aging variation. Key interventions include regular aerobic and resistance exercise, protein-adequate nutrition to preserve muscle and prevent sarcopenia (with whey protein and leucine-rich foods noted), improved sleep, stress management, reducing processed foods and visceral fat, and lowering chronic inflammation (CRP, IL-6). She also reviews hormetic stressors such as sauna use and mentions red/near-infrared light and sun exposure without sunglasses. Leyla shares client examples showing biological age can worsen or improve, and encourages repeat testing after lifestyle changes.

Angela presents a bitesize episode inn which she explores the physiological changes behind midlife weight gain, focusing on the role of cortisol and the hormonal shifts occurring during perimenopause.  They highlight how the decline and fluctuation of oestrogen and progesterone lead to a redistribution of body fat from the hips and thighs to the abdominal area, as the body transitions out of its fertile state WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Hormonal Fat Redistribution: During perimenopause, declining oestrogen levels signal the body to shift fat storage from fertile areas like the hips and thighs to the abdomen. Muscle Mass and Metabolism: Loss of lean muscle mass in midlife significantly slows metabolism, as muscle is a primary "metabolic organ" that consumes glucose and fat for energy. The Importance of Protein: Prioritising high protein intake and sufficient calories is essential for building and maintaining muscle, especially as it becomes harder to do so during perimenopause. GLP-1 Considerations: While GLP-1 medications can aid weight loss, they often suppress appetite so significantly that meeting necessary protein requirements for muscle preservation becomes a major challenge.

FREE RESOURCE:  Click the link and see if the SHED METABOLIC RESET PROGRAM is a good fit for you!  FREE RESOURCE:  Sign up HERE for Dr. Tara's free talk on Perimenopause & Weight Gain happening on Wednesday, April 29th at 7pm   This episode explores the complex hormonal and metabolic changes during perimenopause that impact weight loss.  Dr. Tara and Dr. Michelle share insights on hormonal fluctuations, muscle mass, stress, sleep, and mindset, offering practical strategies for women navigating this challenging phase.   Takeaways Perimenopause weight gain is not a willpower issue, it's driven by real hormonal and metabolic shifts. Hormones don't just decline, they fluctuate, making symptoms unpredictable and confusing. Loss of muscle mass lowers metabolism, making it easier to gain weight without changing your diet. Fat distribution shifts toward the abdomen, increasing visceral fat and health risks. Insulin resistance and cortisol elevation make fat loss harder and increase hunger. Poor sleep and chronic stress amplify weight gain and disrupt metabolism. Old strategies like excessive cardio or fasting often stop working in this phase of life. Strength training and building muscle are essential for long-term metabolic health. Proper nutrition, especially enough protein, fiber, and balanced meals becomes more important than ever. Nervous system regulation and true rest are key drivers of weight loss and overall health. Weight loss resistance is also emotional and behavioral, not just physical. Building self-awareness, self-trust, and compassion is critical for sustainable results. You are not broken, your body requires a new approach in this phase of life.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Episode Overview 03:37 Defining Perimenopause and Its Symptoms 04:28 Hormonal Fluctuations and Diagnosis Challenges 06:55 Hormones and Metabolic Changes in Perimenopause 10:27 Hormonal Impact on Body Fat Redistribution 12:07 The Role of Muscle Mass and Metabolism 16:18 Importance of Resistance Training and Building Muscle 18:52 Visceral Fat and Health Risks 21:59 Body Image, Grief, and Societal Expectations 26:26 Hormonal and Metabolic Interconnections 31:44 Sleep Disruption and Its Effects 33:27 Movement, Exercise, and Building Strength 36:49 Nutrition, Carbohydrates, and Blood Sugar 41:26 Stress, Cortisol, and Nervous System Impact 42:08 Joy, Self-Compassion, and Emotional Well-being 47:35 Self-acceptance and Body Changes 51:57 Mindset, Self-Trust, and Empowerment 56:26 The Role of Education and Self-knowledge 01:01:19 Supporting Long-term Transformation and Self-Discovery 01:03:19 Upcoming Masterclass and Resources   Stay Wild.

Leyla Muedin, a registered dietitian nutritionist, discusses a UK Biobank analysis published in the Journal of Cachexia, “Sarcopenia and Muscle” (Nov 2025) linking continuous long-term statin use (e.g., Lipitor, Zocor, Crestor) to accelerated declines in grip strength and appendicular lean mass compared with never-users. Among 35,557 with follow-up data, grip strength declined by a mean 0.315 kg/year and appendicular lean mass by 0.057 kg/year in statin users; findings persisted after adjustment for age, sex, BMI, comorbidities, and a pharmacogenomic statin-response score. Leyla notes possible mechanisms (CoQ10/mevalonate pathway effects, mitochondrial dysfunction, apoptosis, calcium disruption, insulin resistance) and advises monitoring musculoskeletal health, supporting diet and regular physical activity, while not interpreting results as a reason to stop prescribing statins.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD.

How Continuous Glucose Monitors Can Optimize Metabolic Health—and Where GLP-1 Drugs Fit: Emergency physician-turned-preventive/metabolic medicine specialist Dr. Paul Kolodzik of Metabolic MD reveals how continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) are a tool not only for diabetics but also for non-diabetics and pre-diabetics to personalize diet, sleep, and exercise by seeing real-time glucose patterns instead of relying on fingersticks or A1c averages. Kolodzik describes CGM use in his clinic (two-week diagnostic wear, then therapeutic guidance), highlights insulin resistance, fasting insulin testing, glucose variability, and the role of low-carb eating, intermittent fasting, and strength training to improve metabolic syndrome, triglycerides, and fatty liver. They discuss CGM sourcing/cost, device mechanics and accuracy, possible future noninvasive wearables, and GLP-1/GIP weight-loss drugs, emphasizing supervised, limited-dose use with protein and lifestyle changes to avoid muscle loss and weight regain. A free PDF of Kolodzik's book is offered HERE.  

Physical therapist and certified lymphedema specialist Maureen McBeth discusses her article "Beyond BMI: Why weight management must look inside the body." Maureen explains why common tools like the bathroom scale and body mass index can misclassify up to 34 percent of the general population as obese while masking dangerous internal realities. Drawing from over 25 years in oncology rehabilitation and her own personal experience taking a GLP-1 medication after major surgery, Maureen warns that rapid weight loss can lead to severe muscle depletion and malnutrition if not properly monitored. She highlights the critical importance of tracking three core components of health: muscle mass, intracellular water, and balanced extracellular water. By utilizing noninvasive bioimpedance spectroscopy assessments, clinicians can provide actionable insights to protect a patient's structural and metabolic foundation during their weight loss journey.
