Sarcopenia, the age-related loss of muscle mass and strength, begins subtly in midlife and accelerates with age, increasing your risk of frailty, falls, and fractures As your body ages, muscles become less responsive to training, and physical gains come more slowly, even when effort and consistency remain the same A 2025 study published in Nature Communications found that older muscles fail to activate key growth pathways and repair signals after exercise, explaining the reduced adaptation Despite slower gains, exercise remains essential not just for physical strength but also for brain function, heart health, immune regulation, and metabolic resilience across the aging process Longevity benefits peak at around 40 to 60 minutes of strength training per week; exceeding this reverses the gains and increases the risk of overtraining

Send us a textWe all know movement is good for us. But can the right kind of exercise actually slow the aging process itself?In this episode, Dr. Kevin White talks with Benjamin Miller, Ph.D., professor of aging research at OMRF and past president of the American Aging Association, about what really happens to our muscles and mitochondria as we age, and how his new NIH-funded clinical trial is working to answer one of the most important questions in longevity science: why do some people respond to exercise better than others?"Every drug we study is just trying to be as good as exercise — and exercise still wins."Dr. Miller explains the biology of aging in plain language, from protein damage to energy production, and shares why exercise still outperforms any “miracle drug” on the market. He also unpacks the design of his new trial, where people 60 and older will receive supervised training, advanced health testing, and wearables to measure everything from VO₂ max to sleep — all with the goal of predicting who benefits most from which type of exercise.In this episode:Why exercise is still the closest thing we have to a longevity drugHow mitochondria and protein health drive resilience as we ageWhat VO₂ max actually measures — and why it predicts lifespanThe role of genetics vs. lifestyle in how our bodies respond to trainingHow to get involved in Dr. Miller's NIH-backed exercise study at OMRFThis conversation is a reminder that slowing aging isn't about hacks or shortcuts — it's about moving, staying engaged, and using science to make every decade stronger than the last.

In this special episode, we're sharing Dr. Lovely's interview from the Women Aging Powerfully Summit with host Leah Vachani. With 20 years of clinical experience in women's physical and mental health, Dr. Lovely pulled back the curtain on Musculoskeletal Syndrome of Menopause (MSM)—a debilitating but rarely discussed condition tied to estrogen loss. Here are the key insights from their conversation. Highlights from the interview: MSM affects 71% of women, yet remains underdiagnosed, with symptoms like joint stiffness, bone density loss, and declining muscle mass. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is protective: Bioidentical progesterone (key for nerve messages to the brain and back) and estradiol reduce pain, improve bone density, and preserve muscle. Protein is a game-changer: Most women eat only 55–75g/day, but keeping protein consumption optimal stabilizes blood sugar, and fights sarcopenia. Movement is non-negotiable: Resistance training and balance exercises (like single-leg stands) prevent falls and cognitive decline—even 60-second movement breaks boost metabolism. Doctor advocacy tips: Ask specifically for contemporary HRT like bioidentical progesterone and topical estrogen, and reference Dr. Vonda Wright's MSM research if met with resistance. Whether you're experiencing MSM, navigating menopause, or facing other health challenges at midlife, this conversation is an invitation to listen inward. The hidden pain of musculoskeletal changes asks us to honor our bodies with better nutrition, intentional movement, and empowered healthcare choices. Dr. Lovely's insights remind us that healing begins when we trust our symptoms as messengers—not enemies—and have the courage to advocate for treatments that align with our biological truth. This is more than a discussion about hormones and joints—it's about reclaiming agency. When we understand the science behind our pain, we transform fear into action. When we prioritize protein and strength, we rewrite the narrative of decline. And when we speak up in our doctor's office, we honor the wisdom of our bodies in a medical system that often dismisses women's pain. The path through menopause isn't about passive acceptance—it's about meeting your body with curiosity, compassion, and the conviction that you deserve solutions.

A sarcopenia é caracterizada por perda da massa muscular e ocorre devido ao processo de envelhecimento, patologias, inflamações crônicas mediadas por citocinas como, por exemplo, no câncer. Todos sabemos que o corpo vai perdendo massa muscular a partir dos 30 anos e isso vais se agravando perto dos 40. Uma rotina de exercícios físicos para aumentar a massa muscular é essencial e isso pode ser adquirido por meio de musculação e boa alimentação. O âncora Jota Batista conversa, nesta quarta-feira (13), com o personal Victor Souza, no Canal Saúde, às 12h30, que pode ser acompanhado pelo dial da Rádio Folha FM 96,7 ou pelo canal do YouTube e Facebook da Folha de Pernambuco.

Send us a textFatty Liver Alliance President Mike Betel joins Roger Green to discuss his recent completion of the 3rd Annual Glucose Challenge, an event every July where Mike wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) device for a month, conducts food experiments, tracks glucose levels and shares all results with his LinkedIn and FattyLiver.ca friends and followers. The conversation starts with Mike sharing the history of the Glucose Challenge. Over its first three years, it has evolved from a means to demonstrate the adverse effects of certain foods on human glucose levels into a shared lesson on how a patient (in this case, Mike) can maintain his blood glucose level between 75 and 140 mg/dl. During the episode, Mike shares some of the tricks he has learned to manage glucose more effectively. The most intriguing one? To manage post-prandial (after-meal) glucose levels, walk for "10, 15, 20, 30" minutes after each meal. An obvious and simple one many of us forget? "You don't have to finish everything put in front of you," and you shouldn't feel guilty about not finishing later. A cautionary note: weight loss via diet or drugs without exercise can lead to a greater loss in muscle or bone mass than in fat, but it does not take much in terms of formal exercise to maintain muscle and bone while dropping fat.Mike also applauds ChatGPT and an array of consumer health devices for giving him the data and analytical support he needed to track key body metrics and know how to act upon them.

What is sarcopenia and why is this such an important topic for every woman over 40?  That is the topic of conversation today.  What is Sarcopoenia? Sarcopenia is to muscle what osteoporosis is to bone.  Significant loss of skeletal muscle mass and or muscle strength. Sarcopenia is tied to anabolic resistance in midlife women, making it harder to gain lean muscle growth or maintenance after 40. Older adults - both men and women - have to work harder to gain lean muscle mass.  Women have less overall body mass and muscle to begin with and more dramatic reductions in estrogen at menopause, than men experience loss of testosterone.  The key stimulus for muscle protein synthesis, will suffer more from loss of strength and mass if they aren't carefully offsetting it with planned and progressive resistance training.  For women, estrogen protects muscle and bone. We need and use testosterone which is the most abundant hormone in the female body - but it's the decline in estrogen that makes the difference in muscle preservation. What Contributes to Sarcopenia?  Malnutrition. Combined with sarcopenia, it's a predictor of all-cause mortality than sarcopenia alone.  The United States is one of the most overfed and undernourished countries in the world. We're not eating well enough to sustain health.  Sarcopenia is 100% avoidable.  How Do You Measure Sarcopenia? Strength Fat free mass and height Online calculators  There are physical tests or measures that include grip strength or calf circumference.  Women didn't measure or track their skeletal muscle mass decades ago to know where it was at peak. It's harder to say how much mass or strength you've lost.  The Surprising Statistics on What is Sarcopenia On average, muscle loss occurs 3-8% each decade starting at 30. That CAN accelerate during menopause transition. It isn't associated with loss of estrogen driving skeletal muscle protein synthesis down. It's the side effects of the decline of estrogen.  Not sleeping. Struggle exercising as hard or as long  Less support for your muscle from testosterone and growth hormone  Have cortisol, ghrelin and leptin hormone dysregulation that interferes with muscle and fat. We do have the ability to regain lean muscle.  It's proven (and shared in prior episodes) that 85+ individuals can gain both mass and strength.  Available Sarcopenia Assessments: SARC-F  A simple questionnaire that is a good point of reference but an easy assessment if you're active.  How it works: Includes 5 components with scale scores range from 0 to 10: Strength: How much difficulty do you have in lifting and carrying 10 pounds? Assistance in walking: How much difficulty do you have walking across a room, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Rise from a chair: How much difficulty do you have transferring from a chair or bed, whether you use aids or need help to do this? Climb stairs: How much difficulty do you have climbing a flight of 10 stairs? Falls: How many times have you fallen in the past year? Flipping 50 Fitness Scorecard  Helps not only measure strength and muscle mass but to see how you rank according to others in your age group.  Most important is progress, comparing you to you. Start where you are by benchmarking it and learn how to improve it. How is Sarcopenia Diagnosed? Fat-Free Mass Index: FFMI ≤ 15 kg/m2 Visit this URL to calculate (turn on metric to see result): https://ffmicalculator.org/ A strength test. What is Sarcopenia: The New Glossary Osteosarcopenia - low bone mass and low muscle mass Sarcobesity - low muscle mass and high fat mass Osteosarcobesity - low bone mass, low muscle mass and high fat mass  Osteobesity - low bone mass and high fat mass    The biggest risk of sarcopenia is falling due to instability and inability to “right” yourself when slips and falls occur. I promised we'd visit what's possible so here that is: A 1.9-3.3% increase in global muscle mass in humans is associated with a 4.1% to 5.8% lower fat mass and reduced A1c and fasting glucose in studies lasting 2 weeks to 3 years.   How to Avoid Sarcopenia? Resistance train 2x per week minimum, for some that's maximum. Know your recovery needs. Consume high protein foods and micronutrient dense foods at each meal.   Wouldn't it be wonderful if in 30 or 40 years, “What is sarcopenia?” is a question like “What is scurvy or rickets?” now which is never heard of. That starts with us.    References:  Nutrients. 2023, PMID: 38201856. Sports Medicine, 2025, PMID: 40576707. Advances in Nutrition 2025, PMID: 40222723. Scientific Reports, 2025, PMID: 39833326.

BUFFALO, NY — July 17, 2025 — A new #research paper was #published in Aging (Aging-US) Volume 17, Issue 6, on June 9, 2025, titled “Developing a quantitative estimate of muscle age acceleration by a novel phenotypic clock: cross-sectional study in healthy, middle-aged and older adults.” In this study, led by first authors Lucia Ventura, Antonella Cano and Marco Morrone, along with corresponding author Franca Deriu from the University of Sassari, researchers introduce a new method to predict how muscles age, offering an early warning system for sarcopenia, the condition of age-related muscle loss. The study demonstrates how a simple, low-cost approach can identify middle-aged and older adults at higher risk for declining muscle health, allowing timely preventive strategies. The researchers developed a tool called Muscle Age Acceleration (MAA), which measures how quickly an individual's muscles are aging compared to their actual age. By analyzing physical performance tests and body composition in 215 healthy participants aged 50 to 90 years, the researchers found that about 25% of individuals experience accelerated muscle aging. These individuals had a higher probability of developing sarcopenia, despite appearing healthy and not yet having received a diagnosis of the condition. Sarcopenia reduces muscle strength and physical performance, being a growing concern for older adults. It contributes to frailty, falls, and an increased risk of disability. Despite greater awareness, this condition often goes undetected until significant muscle loss occurs. This new muscular clock offers an opportunity to detect subtle changes in muscle health before they progress to more severe stages. By using common tests such as handgrip strength, walking speed, and mobility assessments, the MAA tool can classify individuals as having accelerated, normal, or decelerated muscle aging. Those with accelerated muscle aging also showed small changes in blood markers, suggesting early and hidden inflammation linked to muscle decline. This finding indicates that MAA may act as both a predictor of muscle-related aging and an indicator of overall health risks. “According to MAA, three trajectories were identified: accelerated agers displayed higher risk for sarcopenia (19%), as compared to normal (9%; p < 0.0001) and decelerated (2%; p < 0.0001), paralleled by significant subclinical alterations of haemato-chemical markers in accelerated agers.” If validated in future studies, this innovative approach could transform how clinicians and caregivers screen for early signs of sarcopenia. Its simplicity makes it suitable for use in clinics and community settings, helping older adults maintain independence and quality of life as they age. In summary, these findings highlight the importance of monitoring muscle health and physical performance in older adults. By detecting early signs of muscle aging with tools like MAA, interventions such as exercise and dietary changes can be introduced earlier, potentially delaying or preventing sarcopenia and its complications.

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.

It's time for another episode of Ask Me Anything. Dawn and Ken answer listener questions that range from generative AI to whether grip strength is a biomarker for longevity and the potential of ketamine as a treatment for depression. Dawn also gives a brief overview of work she is doing with the deep-sea technology company Deep. As a special treat at the end of today's episode, Dawn plays a recording of the commencement speech that Ken recently gave at the University of West Florida. As the saying goes, you don't want to miss it. Show notes: [00:02:18] Ken starts off the episode with a listener question about whether Dawn and Ken read print books or digital, the reason being that a listener recently came across an article that claimed digital screens are rewiring our brains. [00:05:32] A listener asks about a paper titled “Grip Strength An Indispensable Biomarker for Older Adults” which claims that the ability to hang from a bar for 60 seconds for men, and 30 seconds for women, indicates that a person is likely to live longer. The paper claims that a decline in grip strength is associated with adverse health consequences, and the listener asks Ken what advice he has for developing and maintaining grip strength. [00:10:20] A listener asks a question inspired by our recent interview with Dr. Frank Butler. The listener asks if Ken has heard about the FDA approved depression therapy, esketamine, which is a derivative of ketamine and is a long-standing therapy for depression. [00:12:37] A listener asks Ken about a 2023 paper in the journal Age and Aging titled “Higher Dietary Protein Intake is Associated with Sarcopenia in Older British Twins” [00:16:13] A listener asks Ken about “Whisper,” which is a transcription product from OpenAI. The listener explains that OpenAI disclaims that Whisper should not be used in high-risk domains. However, according to a story by the Associated Press titled “Researchers Say an AI Powered Transcription Tool Used in Hospitals Invents Things No One Ever Said,” medical centers have already begun to use the tool to transcribe physician consultations. The listener explains that, according to the article, the use of Whisper in these contexts has led to numerous ‘hallucinations' from the AI tool and the listener asks Ken what his thoughts are on how tools like Whisper should be integrated into various industries. [00:20:21] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a series of articles by Kevin Roose in The New York Times claiming that there is no reason to learn how to code and program because very soon AI will take over all coding. Mr. Roose also asserts that the time is soon approaching when we need to have discussions on what rights to grant sentient AI. [00:21:57] A listener asks Ken if he concurs with a report from the National Academy of Medicine titled “Generative Artificial Intelligence in Health and Medicine – Opportunities and Responsibilities for Transformative Innovation,” which notes that large language models (LLMs) hold huge promise for patient care and healthcare system workflows, as well as risks. The listener asks if Ken agrees with the report's claims that two areas in which we could see near term applications of LLMs are patient education and synthesis of information of electronic medical records. [00:23:35] As a follow up question, Ken is asked about the aforementioned report's discussion of the “digital twin” concept. A digital twin is a computational representation of a patient or disease that could be used to speed up virtual experiments or subgroup analysis of investigational agents that carry risk for real patients. [00:26:26] A listener asks for Ken's thoughts on a paper published in the journal of Nutrition Health and Aging titled “Effects of Vitamin D3 Omega 3 Fatty Acids and a Simple Home Exercise Program on Change in Physical Activity Among Generally Healthy and Active Older Adults.” The paper claims that among generally healthy,

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.

Colette discusses sarcopenia in this solo episode. Sarcopenia is the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass, strength, and function that occurs with aging. It typically begins around the age of 40 and accelerates after the age of 60 and it can lead to reduced mobility, increased risk of falls and fractures, and a diminished quality of life. She covers the following topics: The impacts of sarcopenia. The role of our muscle tissue (mamsa dhatu). Mamsa dhatukshaya - the Ayurvedic view on sacropenia. Signs and symptoms of mamsa dhatukshaya. Causes of muscle loss. Ayurvedic prevention and care strategies. * Visit Colette's website www.elementshealingandwellbeing.com  Online consultations & Gift Vouchers Private at-home Digestive Reset Cleanse tailored to you Educational programs - Daily Habits for Holistic Health Have questions before you book? Book a FREE 15 min online Services Enquiry Call * Join the Elements of Ayurveda Community! * Stay connected on the Elements Instagram and Facebook pages. * Enjoy discounts on your favourite Ayurvedic products: Banyan Botanicals - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Divya's  - enter discount code ELEMENTSOFAYURVEDA15 at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.** Kerala Ayurveda - enter discount code ELEMENTS15 to receive 15% off your first purchase.** LifeSpa - Save $10 on a $50 or more one-time purchase with the code elements10.  **Shipping available within the U.S. only. * Thanks for listening!
