Podcasts about Sarcopenia

The longevity world has convinced a generation of women that protein is shortening their lives. The science says they've got it backwards and the people hurt most are the ones who need protein most.In this episode, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon breaks down the protein-and-longevity fear, steelmans the strongest case against protein, then walks through what the evidence shows:The RDA (0.8 g/kg) is a deficiency floor, not a target, the intake one camp calls "dangerously high" is what federal guidelines and expert groups now recommend (1.2–1.6 g/kg)The IGF-1–cancer link is tiny (a 3–11% risk bump vs. smoking's 1,000–2,000%), and the IGF-1–mortality curve is U-shaped: the lowest levels carry ~40% higher death riskSarcopenia roughly doubles death risk (3.5× with frailty) and perimenopause stacks anabolic resistance on top, exactly when women are told to fear the foods that defend themBy the end, you'll understand the mTOR and IGF-1 science well enough that nobody online can scare you off your own dinner, plus a simple Monday-morning plan: adequate protein, front-loaded, built on minimally processed foods, with heavy lifting to match.Thank you to our sponsors:BodyHealth - Use the code LYON20 to get 20% off your first order https://bit.ly/4f7ZqM5 Our Place - Upgrade your kitchen with Our Place today.

BUFFALO, NY — July 13, 2026 — A new #review was #published in Volume 18 of Aging on June 26, 2026, titled “Hormonal dimorphism in sarcopenia disease.” The review was led by first author Romain Menard and corresponding author Romain Madelaine from the MDI Biological Laboratory, Kathryn W. Davis Center for Regenerative Biology and Aging, Bar Harbor, Maine, USA. Sarcopenia—the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and physical function with aging—is one of the leading causes of frailty and disability in older adults. Although the condition affects millions of people worldwide and has been recognized as a disease by the World Health Organization since 2016, treatment options remain largely limited to exercise and nutritional interventions, with no approved medications specifically targeting the disease. Growing evidence now suggests that one reason for this limited success is that sarcopenia develops through distinct biological mechanisms in women and men. In this comprehensive review, the authors examine how biological sex influences the hormonal mechanisms underlying muscle aging. They focus on three peptide hormones—apelin, insulin, and oxytocin—and describe how age-related changes in these interconnected signaling networks contribute to muscle decline through distinct biological pathways in women and men. According to the review, women often experience an abrupt decline in muscle health during menopause as estrogen levels fall rapidly. This hormonal transition disrupts apelin signaling, accelerates insulin resistance, reduces oxytocin-mediated muscle regeneration, and impairs the function of satellite cells, the muscle stem cells responsible for repair and regeneration. In contrast, men generally undergo a slower, more gradual decline in muscle function that parallels progressive reductions in testosterone, resulting in different patterns of hormonal dysregulation and disease progression. The review also highlights the central roles of apelin, insulin, and oxytocin in maintaining healthy skeletal muscle. Together, these hormones regulate muscle metabolism, glucose utilization, mitochondrial function, protein homeostasis, inflammation, and satellite-cell activity through overlapping signaling pathways. Disruption of this hormonal network during aging is proposed to contribute to impaired muscle repair, reduced metabolic function, chronic inflammation, and progressive muscle loss.

In the first half of a two-part episode on midlife skin, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down the biology behind one of the most alarming stats in dermatology: women can lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen in the first five years after menopause. She explains why collagen decline actually starts as early as your 20s (about 1% a year), why estrogen loss accelerates that process dramatically at menopause, and why "collagen banking" earlier in life matters so much. Rather than jumping straight to products and procedures, Dr. Mina makes the case that skincare is whole-body care — walking through the inside-out factors that most directly affect collagen: protein intake (including how much you actually need and why vegetarian/vegan diets make it harder), sugar and glycation (AGEs), anti-inflammatory fats, antioxidants, hydration, and whether collagen supplements are actually worth taking. Part 2 will cover the topical and in-office side of the equation, so be sure to follow/subscribe!

Bone Health Beyond Calcium: Vitamin D, K, Protein, Medications, and Metabolic Risks: Registered dietitian nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses factors affecting bone health, osteopenia/osteoporosis, and limitations of bone mineral density as a measure of bone strength. She emphasizes optimizing vitamin D via 25-hydroxy D testing (aiming roughly 55–85 and avoiding over 100), ensuring vitamin K for proper calcium placement, and addressing malabsorption from GI conditions, food intolerances, or inflammation. She notes long-term proton pump inhibitor use can impair calcium and magnesium absorption and increase osteoporosis risk. Diet considerations include avoiding overly grain-heavy, acid-forming patterns and ensuring high biological value protein; she also mentions heavy metals affecting bones. Additional assessment includes magnesium and DHEA sulfate, plus resistance and balance training (ideally three times weekly). She highlights research linking hyperinsulinemia/type 2 diabetes/cardiovascular disease to fragility fractures despite normal or higher bone density, proposing carbohydrate restriction, fasting, and ketosis to improve bone remodeling via osteocalcin and mitochondrial function.

Urolithin A (Mitopure) and Mitochondrial Renewal--Muscle, Immune, and Skin Benefits: Jen Scheinman, MS, RDN, CDN, Director of Science Communications at Timeline details urolithin A and Timeline's branded supplement Mitopure. She describes urolithin A's discovery through pomegranate research and worm studies showing a 45% lifespan increase. She discusses human research including improved walking distance and clinical outcomes in muscle endurance and strength. Urolithin A is presented as supporting mitochondrial health by promoting mitophagy—recycling damaged mitochondria—distinct from other mitochondrial supports like CoQ10 and NAD precursors. They explain most people cannot produce enough urolithin A from foods because only 30–40% convert precursors via the microbiome and it would require about six cups of pomegranate juice daily. Dosing discussed is 500–1,000 mg/day via gummies, capsules, or powder, with effects developing over months. She reviews emerging research on immune aging, preclinical work on brain and neurodegenerative conditions, and topical urolithin A for skin.

Vitamin K2 (MK-7) and Coronary Artery Calcification: Insights from a 2-Year Trial: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses a two-year randomized clinical trial in JAMA Cardiology from Maastricht University Medical Center reporting that daily vitamin K2 (menaquinone-7, MK-7) at 360 mcg slowed progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in 180 patients with confirmed atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and baseline CAC 50–400 Agatston units. Compared with placebo, consistent MK-7 use was associated with 29% lower CAC progression and 42% less arterial calcium mass progression, though CAC still increased in both groups; stenosis increases were numerically lower with MK-7 but not statistically significant. Leyla notes many participants were on statins and were smokers, highlighting that statins can raise CAC by stabilizing soft plaque via calcification. The trial suggests MK-7 may slow calcification in newer plaques, may improve arterial elasticity via matrix GLA protein activation, is inexpensive and safe, but clinical event reduction remains unproven; Leyla suggests considering MK-7 (possibly 360 mcg) with vitamin D, magnesium, and dietary measures.

On today's episode of Beating Cancer Daily, Saranne welcomes Jacqui Bryan, a functional medicine expert, to explore the often-overlooked challenge of muscle loss and its impact on individuals facing cancer, aging, and chronic illness. The conversation centers on sarcopenia, or age-related muscle decline, highlighting not only its insidious onset but also practical strategies for prevention and reversal at any age. As a 33-year Stage IV cancer survivor, Saranne discusses her personal experiences with muscle and bone loss during treatment, while Jacqui shares actionable advice for maintaining muscle health, even for those who are bedridden or recovering from cancer therapy. Jacqui Bryan is a certified nutrition specialist, whole health educator, health coach, and registered nurse. Having survived cancer herself, Jacqui brings firsthand experience and clinical expertise to her holistic approach. Her deep understanding of nutrition, movement, and the specific needs of cancer patients has helped countless individuals regain strength and reclaim their vitality."Sarcopenia is the slow erosion of your body's engine... It's almost entirely preventable and partially reversible at any age." ~Jacqui Bryan Today on Beating Cancer Daily:·     Sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss, is a serious yet often underdiagnosed condition that can be both prevented and partially reversed at any age.·     Cancer patients, survivors, and anyone age 30 or older, especially those who are sedentary, are at increased risk of significant muscle loss.·     Muscle tissue is a metabolic organ crucial for blood sugar regulation, immune function, and maintaining independence as we age.·     Resistance training two to four times per week is the most effective strategy for preserving and building muscle, even well into your 80s and 90s.·     Adequate, high-quality protein (around 25-30 grams per meal) and nutrients such as vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids are essential for maintaining muscle mass.·     Postmenopausal women and individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart failure, COPD, and chronic kidney disease face accelerated risks and should be especially vigilant.·     Chronic stress, poor sleep, and restrictive diets can all accelerate muscle loss; stress management and sleep hygiene are critical components of muscle preservation.·     For those struggling with muscle loss after treatments, especially Stage IV cancer survivors and the bedridden, asking healthcare providers about physical therapy and working with dietitians can make a significant difference. Contact Jacqui:jacquibryan.com 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Health Series FinalistRanked the Top 5 Best Cancer Podcasts by CancerCare News in 2024 & 2025,and #1 Rated Cancer Survivor Podcast by FeedSpot in 2024 to 2025. Beating Cancer Daily is listened to in 148 countries across 7 continents and features over 420+ original daily episodes hosted by Stage IV survivor Saranne Rothberg.

Muscle loss and sarcopenia have been synonymous with aging in previous generations. Muscle loss impacts osteoporosis, balance, stability, independence, and hormone balance.  In this episode we'll talk about the 3 M's and how to bank muscle looking forward to a time off your fee as well as how to get it back if you have muscle loss and sarcopenia.  My Guest: Dr. Chris Meletis is an internationally recognized educator, author, lecturer, and functional medicine practitioner with more than 33 years of clinical experience. He has authored 18 books and over 200 scientific articles, contributing extensively to the fields of naturopathic and integrative medicine.  Formerly the Dean of Naturopathic Medicine and Chief Medical Officer at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, he was honored as Physician of the Year by the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Passionate about accessible healthcare, he helped establish 16 free natural medicine clinics and continues to focus on the GI microbiome, mitochondrial health, nutritional biochemistry, and botanical medicine. Questions We Answer in This Episode: What trends have you seen in aging, and why does muscle become such a critical issue for women in midlife and beyond? Are physicians beginning to use muscle-related assessments as vital signs, and should strength be monitored more routinely as we age? What does grip strength actually measure, and why is it such a powerful indicator of overall strength and future health? What happens when you need a bunion surgery, joint replacement, or another procedure that temporarily limits activity? Will you lose muscle, and how can you prepare for it? If you're told to lose weight before a knee or hip replacement, how do you protect muscle mass while improving your health outcomes? Are we eating enough protein, and is our digestion allowing us to actually absorb and utilize it as we age? How can muscle-support strategies help during periods of bed rest, illness, pain, long COVID, or other situations that increase the risk of sarcopenia? What should active women do when they're already exercising but still struggle with maintaining muscle, energy, or lean body mass? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses research showing simple strength tests—grip strength and a five-rep sit-to-stand chair test—predict longevity in older women. In a University at Buffalo study of over 5,000 women ages 63–99 followed for eight years, stronger grip and faster chair-stand times were linked to lower mortality; every additional 7 kg of grip strength corresponded to a 12% reduction in death risk, and faster chair-stands were also associated with improved survival, even after adjusting for activity, cardiovascular fitness, and inflammation. She emphasizes prioritizing muscle-strengthening alongside aerobic exercise and suggests accessible resistance options (weights, bodyweight moves, or household items) with professional guidance as needed. She then cites UK Biobank data linking long-term statin use to declines in grip strength and appendicular lean mass, urging discussion with physicians and added vigilance, especially for those also using GLP-1 drugs that may reduce protein intake and muscle mass.

Doctor Mau Informa ®️ #drmauinforma Cuando discutimos la diabetes tipo 2 y la prediabetes, nuestro enfoque se centra casi exclusivamente en restringir los carbohidratos y perder peso. Sin embargo, los datos de los ensayos clínicos más recientes revelan un punto ciego enorme en nuestros paradigmas de atención: el músculo esquelético es nuestro órgano de eliminación de glucosa más grande, e ignorarlo acelera el envejecimiento metabólico. En este episodio, desglosamos las pautas clínicas y los datos de ensayos más recientes que demuestran por qué el entrenamiento de hipertrofia mecánica funciona como una poderosa intervención no farmacológica para el control del azúcar en sangre, incluso para personas con un peso normal. En este episodio aprenderás: → Por qué la diabetes tipo 2 actúa como un factor de riesgo independiente para la sarcopenia acelerada y el declive de la función muscular. → Los datos moleculares que demuestran que el entrenamiento de resistencia mejora la HbA1c en aproximadamente un 0.57% y la glucosa en ayunas en ~7 mg/dL. → Por qué el entrenamiento de hipertrofia es significativamente superior al entrenamiento de resistencia a la fatiga para la inflamación sistémica y la retención de masa magra. → Los sorprendentes resultados del ensayo Kobayashi: por qué el entrenamiento de fuerza venció al cardio en la diabetes tipo 2 de peso normal. → Los parámetros de programación exactos de la Asociación Americana de Diabetes y el ACSM necesarios para optimizar la eliminación metabólica en la práctica.

Hi, this is Marijo Tinlin from the Teaching Your Toddler Show. Today we have a very special guest. Tanya Elliott is here to talk to us about something that is very surprising for a lot of people, I think. She has a new survey out that reveals some startling facts about women and muscle loss. Welcome to the show, Doctor Elliott. Tell us a little bit about this survey. Dr Elliott: Sure. Thanks for having me. So Viactiv, which is a leading women's supplement brand, commissioned a survey of 2,000 women to understand what their health priorities are. So first things first, the good news. Over 60% of women really are prioritizing their strength and mobility. They care about their health and they care about their strength and mobility. The concerning thing about this is very few women knew what the word sarcopenia is. Now, I wonder, do you, Marijo, know what the word sarcopenia is? Marijo Tinlin I do only because of my mother, but yes, tell the rest of us. Dr Elliott Okay. Okay. Everyone knows what osteoporosis is, right? That's the loss of bone. Sarcopenia comes first. That's loss of muscle mass. And we're not talking about it enough. And the survey revealed that only 6% of women knew what sarcopenia was and what to do about it. Right? So that's really concerning, and if you ask any, you know, friends or family members, they probably don't know what sarcopenia is either. So, as clinicians, we need to start talking about it more, and women need to be more aware of it, because preserving your muscle strength is incredibly important. Loss of muscle starts in our 30s, and we lose about 8% of muscle per decade, and then step on the accelerator in your 50s and 60s, because that accelerates even more, that muscle loss accelerates even more, and that's why we end up. with women with osteoporosis, and an increase in fall risk, and then having complications from hip fracture, right? So we need to start talking about the muscle first. Marijo Tinlin Yeah, and I understand, I've heard the saying, muscle doesn't age. So, like, you can just keep… if you lift weights and build your muscles, um, what are some of the ways that you can, uh, that you can prevent this? Dr Elliott I love that. I really love that phrase. That's really important. Like this is not a destiny, right? There are actually things that we can do about it. We can preserve and build muscle up until we die, right? And so one of the things that's important is coenzyme Q10. That's like the energy, the fuel for your muscles to be healthy and also for you to build new muscle. And we naturally produce it, but we produce less of it with age. The good news is you can get it from foods. The not so good news is it's mostly found in organ meat. So unless you love like liverwurst sandwiches, you may not be able to get it from your food. Bioactive actually has a chew that. tastes really good, so it's a nice alternative to pills for some people. But coenzyme Q10 is important for muscle strength and building, right? And then the second piece is eating enough protein, which often women don't do as much. You want to try, if you can, rule of thumb, around 30 grams of protein with each meal. And then the last piece, the trifecta, is the strength training piece. And understanding that muscle endurance is different from, like, true strength training and building power and building muscle. So, like, muscle endurance are activities kind of like Pilates or yoga, focusing on the core. I'm talking about really challenging your large muscle groups by lifting weights, and it's actually a much more efficient way to build and preserve your muscle. Marijo Tinlin And I think I heard you say that it can happen in women as early as 30 years old, so a lot of young moms listen to the show. What are some of those warning signs that they need to do something? Dr Elliott Yeah, and so it's really interesting, right, because in our 30s, maybe we have kids, we're a little bit more active, and so, like, lifting your kids and carrying your kids up and down the stairs, you're doing the strength training, that's great, maybe you don't have to do as much, but then as we get older and we're not lifting our kids anymore and we're sitting in front of a computer all day and we've got this sedentary lifestyle, right, that's when it shows. more and more. So, some warning signs are you're really sore after, like, a light workout, or you try to open up a jar, and you're like, I can't open this! That's another… that's another sign. Um, or you just start feeling, like, a little bit more fatigued and low energy, and a lot of times. people will say, oh, I'm just getting older. But the truth is, no, once you start actually doing the strength training regularly, you're like, oh my gosh, it's not that I was getting older, it's just that I wasn't working these large muscle groups. And, like, you'll see how amazingly transformative it is to, like, actually start paying attention to your muscles. taking the supplementation you need, and then doing the strength training, you're like, oh, I wasn't getting older, I just wasn't… my muscles were falling asleep, they weren't doing anything, they were starting to atrophy. Marijo Tinlin And before we talk a little bit more about the Vayactive, tell me if a woman has never, and I agree with you, when your babies are little, you're carrying them, you're really strong. I mean, I remember my upper body, I had two under two for a while, so I was wicked strong. But then what if you've never lifted? What do you do? to, um, you know, to… how can you find workouts? How can you find ways to lift if you've never started before? Dr Elliott We need to make it more accessible. I think a lot of women are like, oh, strength training means I need to go to the gym, and I need to be Arnold Schwarzenegger, and then I'm going to bulk up, and I don't want to look that way, I don't want to be bulky, but that's not what happens. Like, you're not going to be Ar. waking up and giving some attention to those large muscle groups. So how can you start? Sometimes I will tell my patients, just go in your pantry and take out, like, 2 jars, and hold those 2 jars and just do 10 squats, right? And then do 3 sets of that. So maybe each jar is about, like, 2 pounds or whatever, so now you're going, you know, 4 pounds. Plus your overall, like, body weight, right? Another thing you could try to do is resistance bands, which are really, like, um, easy. They're portable, you can take them on vacation with you, you can do them, like, keep them in your office. I'll sometimes tell patients, you know, get, uh, adjustable weights, so they start at, like, 10 pounds and then they adjust 20, 30, 40, 50, and you can keep them--literally, I keep them under my desk in my office, and then anytime I have a break, like once an hour, right, I'm just, like, I'm doing my bicep. And a squat, you know, or lunges, just holding those weights. So we have to make, like, strength training more accessible. Weighted vests, please don't waste your time. Unless you want to, like, wear a weighted vest and walk for, like, 4 hours, you're not going to… tire your muscles out enough for them to actually, like, build up strength. So a way more efficient thing to do is to lift heavier weights, and then do that until you feel tired, like, you feel like you can't do another set. Marijo Tinlin That's amazing. I love how you just can weave that into your day. Everybody has enough time to do a few of those in between or even during a meeting, right? If you're off camera or something, right? Dr Elliott I think it's way more efficient than getting in your car, driving to a class, being in the class for an hour, getting back in your car, having to take a shower. You know what? Just like keep the weights, get, you know, even if it's 15, 20 minutes of like, you know, fewer reps, higher weights is just a way more efficient way to wake up and activate those muscles. Marijo Tinlin Thank you so much. So the supplementation that you are recommending, tell us a little bit more about that. Dr Elliott So, Coenzyme Q10 is like the energy powerhouse for our muscle cells, and so we need it… think about it, like, as fuel to feed the mitochondria, which is the energy center in our muscles, and then help us build more muscle. like I said, we produce it, our body naturally, but then with age, we don't produce it as much. And then I always say, like, eat your vitamins and get things from your food supply, but like I said, it's typically found in organ meats and foods that people don't routinely have in their diet, so that's when I recommend supplementation. That kind of goes for, like, all supplementation. First, see if you can get it from your food. If you can't, then consider a supplement that you can tolerate. And a lot of people don't like to take pills, so these ones come in a chew, and they happen to be pretty tasty. So I'm like, oh, great! My chew! Amazing! Marijo Tinlin There you go. Excellent. Yeah, I've always thought of Viactiv as the calcium chews, but I love to hear that there's more. Dr Elliott And they're really good, right? Those calcium chews, I was like, can I have some more of these, maybe? Like, the caramel, or the chai, like, I used to look forward to it. Marijo Tinlin Yes. Like a snack. That's right. Thank you so much for speaking to us today. Where can we go for more information? Dr Elliott You can follow VIACTIV on social media or check out VIACTIV.com. Marijo Tinlin Dr. Elliott, thank you again. Dr Elliott Yeah, thanks for having me.

Lezione numero 11 del Corso sulla Nutrizione nel ciclo di vita.Nel dodicesimo modulo di Nutrizione nel ciclo di vita viene approfondito il tema dell'invecchiamento, non come condizione patologica di per sé, ma come fase fisiologica complessa che richiede adattamenti, prevenzione e una lettura più attenta dei bisogni nutrizionali e funzionali della persona.La lezione parte dall'idea che invecchiare significhi andare incontro a cambiamenti progressivi che coinvolgono sete, appetito, efficienza digestiva, composizione corporea, assetto ormonale, attività fisica, gusto, masticazione e autonomia quotidiana. Per questo, l'età anagrafica da sola non basta a descrivere lo stato reale della persona: conta molto anche l'età biologica, fortemente influenzata da stile di vita, movimento, alimentazione e condizioni cliniche.Ampio spazio è dedicato alla sarcopenia, uno dei problemi più rilevanti dell'età avanzata, caratterizzato da perdita di massa muscolare, forza e funzionalità. Il modulo approfondisce il ruolo della quota proteica, della distribuzione delle proteine nei pasti, dell'importanza della leucina e di altri cofattori strategici, sottolineando come il contrasto alla sarcopenia richieda un'integrazione tra nutrizione adeguata e attività fisica, soprattutto di tipo contro-resistenza.Una parte centrale della lezione riguarda la malnutrizione nell'anziano, spesso sottovalutata ma estremamente frequente. Vengono analizzate sia la malnutrizione per difetto sia quella per eccesso, insieme ai loro effetti su vulnerabilità, infezioni, cicatrizzazione, autonomia, umore, funzionalità cognitiva e durata delle degenze. Viene inoltre spiegato come monitorare segnali importanti come calo ponderale involontario, alterazioni della composizione corporea, stato di idratazione, diario alimentare e principali parametri biochimici.Il modulo affronta anche il rapporto tra malnutrizione, depressione e solitudine, evidenziando come i problemi nutrizionali nella terza età non siano mai solo biologici, ma spesso intrecciati con fattori psicologici, sociali ed economici. In questo quadro trovano spazio anche temi fondamentali come il fabbisogno energetico, i coefficienti di attività, i fattori correttivi di malattia e la necessità di personalizzare le indicazioni nutrizionali.La parte finale approfondisce aspetti molto concreti e clinicamente rilevanti come disidratazione, disfagia, stipsi e iperpolifarmacoterapia, mostrando come ciascuno di questi elementi possa interferire con l'assunzione di cibo, con l'assorbimento dei nutrienti e con la qualità della vita.Questa videolezione è pensata per chi desidera comprendere la nutrizione dell'anziano in modo più realistico, completo e scientificamente fondato, superando l'idea che l'invecchiamento sia un processo uniforme e inevitabilmente passivo.

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.

Lezione numero 04 del Corso sulla Nutrizione nel ciclo di vita.In questa lezione viene affrontato un tema centrale per ogni percorso di prevenzione e intervento: la valutazione nutrizionale di base e l'utilizzo degli strumenti di screening più utili nella pratica.La lezione parte dai metodi di raccolta delle informazioni alimentari e comportamentali, chiarendo il ruolo del 24 Hour Recall, dei questionari di frequenza e dell'osservazione clinica nella costruzione di un primo inquadramento nutrizionale.Viene evidenziato come la valutazione non debba limitarsi al peso corporeo, ma includere anche appetito, cambiamenti ponderali, comportamento alimentare e possibili segnali di malnutrizione o rischio metabolico.Ampio spazio è dedicato agli indicatori antropometrici più utilizzati, come indice di massa corporea, rapporto vita/fianchi, circonferenza vita, circonferenze degli arti e plicometria, con una riflessione sui loro punti di forza, sui limiti e sulla corretta interpretazione clinica. Il modulo approfondisce anche il tema della composizione corporea, del calo ponderale involontario e delle diverse forme di obesità, distinguendo tra aspetti quantitativi e qualitativi del tessuto adiposo e analizzando il legame tra accumulo di grasso, rischio cardiovascolare e infiammazione cronica di basso grado.Una parte importante della lezione è dedicata alla comprensione della cascata fisiopatologica che collega eccesso adiposo, alterazioni metaboliche, steatosi epatica, rischio cardiometabolico e processi infiammatori che possono accompagnare il soggetto lungo il corso della vita.Questa lezione è pensata per chi desidera acquisire strumenti concreti per leggere in modo più completo lo stato nutrizionale di una persona, andando oltre le semplificazioni e imparando a collegare misurazione, prevenzione e interpretazione clinica.

What if your genes are not your destiny, but a set of clues your body has been giving you all along? In this episode, Dr. Taz sits down with Dr. Florence Comite, endocrinologist, clinician scientist, longevity expert, and author of Invincible: Defy Your Genetic Destiny to Live Better, Longer, to explore how biomarkers, genetics, hormones, sleep, metabolism, and family history shape the way we age.In this episode, Dr. Comite explains why longevity is not just about biohacking, supplements, peptides, or the latest wellness trend. Instead, she shares why true healthspan begins with understanding your own body, your own patterns, and your own family story. She explains how changes in blood sugar, fasting insulin, free testosterone, cholesterol risk ratio, sleep quality, muscle, and metabolism can reveal early signs of disease risk long before symptoms fully appear.Dr. Taz and Dr. Comite discuss why “normal” lab ranges are not always the same as optimal health, why some people begin showing signs of metabolic disease decades earlier than expected, and how family history can act as a powerful roadmap for prevention. They also explore how genetics, lifestyle, hormones, wearables, continuous glucose monitoring, sleep, movement, protein, and personalized medicine may help people change the trajectory of their future health.If you're listening to this and thinking, “I know something is off in my body, but I don't know where to start,” join the Circle here:

What if the real reason your body feels older isn't your age, but the muscle you've lost along the way?Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher continue the series on Strength Training Reverses. In today's episode, they break down how strength training reverses sarcopenia and why muscle loss is one of the biggest drivers of aging. They dive into what actually happens inside your body as muscle declines, from reduced strength and energy to losing independence in everyday life. Tune in to learn how to take back control of your body, rebuild what's been lost, and stay capable, strong, and independent for years to come.Dr. Fisher starts by explaining what sarcopenia really is. It's not just losing muscle mass, it's losing strength and function too. And it happens gradually until one day you notice you're not as capable as you used to be.Dr. Fisher explains when sarcopenia begins to show up. For most people, it quietly starts in your 40s and then speeds up into your 50s and 60s. Dr. Fisher covers what actually happens when you lose muscle. Muscle drives your metabolism, helps regulate blood sugar, and protects against chronic disease. When it declines, it affects everything from your energy to your long-term health.Dr. Fisher explains how muscle loss impacts your independence. Simple things like climbing stairs or getting out of a chair start to feel harder. Those small changes are often the first warning signs.Dr. Fisher shares how physical decline starts to affect your daily life. You begin to second guess going out, moving around, or staying active. Over time, that can lead to isolation, fear, and a loss of confidence.Dr. Fisher breaks down a powerful study on resistance training and aging muscle. They chose older adults in their 60s and younger adults in their 20s and 30s. Before resistance training, the older adults were, on average, 59% weaker than the younger adults. After six months of training, the older adults' strength improved significantly, and they were now only 38% weaker than the younger adults.Amy shares something most people don't realize. You don't need decades to rebuild lost muscle. With consistent strength training, real progress can happen in a matter of months.According to Dr. Fisher, strength training doesn't just change how you feel; it also changes how your genes express themselves. In many cases, older muscle starts to behave more like younger muscle again.Dr. Fisher explains how these changes happen at a deeper level. Training impacts your body at both the cellular and genetic level, and those changes flow into better strength and function. What you feel on the outside starts from what's happening inside.Dr. Fisher breaks down the role of mitochondria in aging. As we get older, our cells produce energy less efficiently. Strength training helps rebuild that system so your body can produce and use energy better again.Dr. Fisher explains how resistance training supports cellular renewal. Your body starts producing healthier mitochondria while clearing out damaged ones. That shift improves energy, recovery, and overall function.Amy shares what makes this so rewarding in real life. People regain abilities they thought were gone for good. Things they gave up on years ago suddenly feel possible again.Amy explains what this really means long term. Strength training is not just about getting stronger; it is about getting your life back. It gives people the confidence and capability to move, live, and engage again.

Optimizing Health Span: Longevity, Inflammation, and Immune Resilience with Dr. Robert SilvermanIn this special look-back episode, we're revisiting a conversation originally released in 2023 with Dr. Robert Silverman on one of the most important topics in modern healthcare: health span. While this episode was recorded during an earlier phase of the longevity conversation, the core themes remain highly relevant today. In Part 1, Dr. Silverman breaks down the difference between lifespan and health span, why chronic disease continues to shorten quality of life for so many patients, and why clinicians need to think more broadly about the systems that influence long-term vitality, resilience, and recovery.Together, we explore the role of immune resilience, inflammation, the microbiome, mitochondrial health, fascia, vagus nerve tone, muscle mass, and metabolic signaling in healthy aging. Dr. Silverman also shares the biomarkers and clinical concepts he believes deserve more attention when evaluating chronic disease risk, biological aging, and overall patient function.This episode is a valuable revisit for providers who want to think beyond symptom management and better understand the foundations of long-term health and performance. Whether you're hearing it for the first time or coming back to it with fresh ears, Part 1 sets the stage for a deeper conversation around what it really takes to help patients live longer — and live better.Key Themes in Today's Episode:The difference between lifespan and health span — and why both matter in clinical practiceWhy immune resilience may be one of the most important drivers of longevityBiomarkers Dr. Silverman watches when evaluating inflammation, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and gut permeability

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.

You've been showing up to Pilates, yoga, or barre for months, maybe years, and your body composition hasn't changed. You're not getting stronger.And if you're over 40, the muscle and bone you need most may be slipping away while you work hard at the wrong thing.Building muscle and maintaining bone density after 40 requires two specific things from your training: mechanical tension and proximity to failure. Pilates, yoga, and barre are not designed to deliver either one. Philip covers why these modalities plateau fast, what the research found when scientists actually measured muscle growth from Pilates with MRI, and a 10-second audit you can run on any workout to know if it qualifies as strength training.Join Eat More Lift Heavy, a 26-week coached program that pairs nutrition strategy with a coach-assigned strength training program from Day 1, so you stop guessing and start building the muscle and bone density that matter most after 40: eatmoreliftheavy.comTimestamps0:00 - Why your Pilates class is not strength training 3:00 - What every modality gets right at first 4:45 - Two requirements for muscle growth 6:30 - Proximity to failure in group fitness classes 7:30 - The limits of a Pilates reformer spring 9:00 - Progressive overload and the repeated bout effect 11:00 - How Pilates, yoga, and barre plateau quickly 13:15 - Volume-hypertrophy data and diminishing returns 14:55 - Getting started with progressive resistance training16:30 - Sarcopenia risk from perimenopause to menopause 18:30 - Bone density, the LIFTMOR trial, and lifting heavy 21:06 - Do THIS to build strength and muscle over 40 24:30 - Bonus: 3-question strength training audit

Episode 2763- Vinnie Tortorich and Anna Vocino discuss the adverse effects of GLP-1s, the dangers of muscle loss, and whether more fiber is necessary. https://vinnietortorich.com/2026/02/dangers-of-muscle-loss-episode-2763 PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS Pure Vitamin Club Pure Coffee Club NSNG® Foods VILLA CAPPELLI EAT HAPPY KITCHEN YOU CAN WATCH THIS EPISODE ON YOUTUBE - @FitnessConfidential Podcast Vinnie's workout videos are available to purchase!

(8:00) This relates to GLP-1 in the fact that there is nothing you can do that doesn't cause a consequence somewhere else. (11:30) Vinnie discusses dealing with his second bout of cancer a couple of years ago. He is determined to be as active and healthy as possible. Eating strict NSNG seems to have helped him fight cancer more than if he had not been eating clean. (12:00) If you lose weight the old-fashioned way through proper eating, about 20-25% of your weight loss will be muscle. (16:00) However, that can be offset with exercise, particularly strength training. With GLP-1, a person will lose at least 40% of their muscle mass. (17:00) This matters because a lack of muscle contributes to all-cause mortality, and you can die sooner. Sarcopenia (natural muscle loss) occurs with age, typically starting around age 35, but it can be significantly slowed with strength training. (18:00) The number one drug Vinnie used to get asked about was statins, but now it's about GLP-1s. (21:00) If a person is losing a lot of muscle on GLP-1s, you can bet it's affecting their heart, because the heart is muscle. (25:00) Anna shares some info she's heard recently regarding Dr. Ben Bikman. (27:30) Some Thoughts About Fiber There is also debate about fiber. (36:00) They discuss myths about fiber and whether it is as necessary as others have claimed. Anna shares a story that makes her super happy about her cookbooks. (46:00) Vinnie is trying a week off from eating cheese, but he's wrapping up the week with Anna's Cheese Bites for the Super Bowl. (48:30) They conclude the episode with a discussion of discontinuing GLP-1s. Talk to your doctor for the proper protocol. If you decide to continue GLP-1s, please start strength training to offset muscle loss.
