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.

This Bone Talk episode explores the important connection between bone health and sarcopenia, a condition that causes significant loss of muscle mass and strength beyond normal aging. Guest expert Dr. Stuart Phillips, a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at McMaster University, shares insights from decades of research on how exercise and nutrition influence muscle and body composition. Although osteoporosis often gets more attention, sarcopenia also plays a major role in mobility, independence, and overall quality of life. Dr. Phillips explains how even small amounts of regular physical activity can make a meaningful difference as we age.

Silenciosa e preocupante, a sarcopenia é uma doença caracterizada pela perda progressiva e generalizada da massa muscular que ocorre com o envelhecimento, mas que também acomete pessoas com doenças crônicas ou em processo de imobilização prolongada. Recorrente em pessoas a partir de 80 anos, a condição também pode atingir homens e mulheres já a partir dos 40 anos, de acordo com a Sociedade Brasileira de Reumatologia (SBR). Para falar sobre o assunto, o âncora Jota Batista conversa, nesta quinta-feira (28), com a Geriatra e gerente médica da Clínica Florence Unidade Recife, Michele Bautista, no Canal Saúde.

In this episode of Conversations in Equine Science, Kate and Nancy explore a compelling research paper titled "Retirement Risk Factors, Exercise Management, and Muscle Mass in U.S. Senior Horses" by Elisa Herbst. Published in May 2023, this paper dives into the intricacies of managing the health and exercise of senior horses in the U.S., examining factors such as retirement risk, exercise routines, and muscle mass preservation. The hosts discuss key insights from an extensive survey involving over 2,700 respondents, highlighting the distinctions between equine professionals and hobby horse owners. They delve into the challenges faced by senior horses, such as sarcopenia and exercise management, drawing parallels with aging in humans while emphasizing the importance of physical activity and proper nutrition for maintaining muscle mass and overall health. The episode sheds light on the significance of continued care and management as horses age, underscoring the role of dynamic mobilization exercises and hoof health in prolonging the vitality and quality of life of senior equines. Listeners are encouraged to consult with equine veterinarians and professionals before implementing changes based on this research.

Today, we're diving into one of the most misunderstood, wrongly demonized, and yet most important pieces of your nutrition strategy: PROTEIN.We're going deep into:Why so many people still believe protein is dangerous — especially for your kidneysWhere these outdated beliefs came fromThe role of protein in muscle gain, fat loss, aging, and long-term healthWhy the RDA is setting you up for failureWhat YOU can do today to get the benefits of a high-protein lifestyleResources:1. High-Protein Diets and Kidney Function in Healthy Adults:Study: A Systematic Review of Renal Health in Healthy Individuals Consuming High Protein DietsFindings: This review analyzed multiple randomized controlled trials and found that increased protein intake led to higher glomerular filtration rates (GFR), all within normal kidney function ranges. The data suggest that higher protein consumption does not adversely affect kidney health in healthy adults. ​Study: Effect of a High-Protein Diet on Kidney Function in Healthy Adults: Results from the OmniHeart TrialFindings: This study concluded that a healthy diet rich in protein increased estimated GFR. However, it noted that the long-term effects of high-protein diets on kidney health remain uncertain.2. Protein Intake and Sarcopenia (Muscle Loss) in Older Adults:Study: Protein Intake and Sarcopenia in Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-AnalysisFindings: The meta-analysis indicated that older adults with sarcopenia consumed significantly less protein than their non-sarcopenic peers, suggesting that inadequate protein intake may be associated with muscle loss in the elderly. ​Study: Role of Dietary Protein in the Sarcopenia of AgingFindings: The study suggests that moderately increasing daily protein intake beyond 0.8 g/kg/day may enhance muscle protein anabolism, potentially mitigating age-related muscle loss. ​Protein & Kidney Health in Healthy IndividualsSystematic Review: High Protein Diets & Renal FunctionConclusion: No negative effects on kidney function in healthy adults.

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog Are you menopausal and have any of the following symptoms? Hot Flashes Night Sweats Dry Vagina Painful intercourse Dry skin Lack of sex drive Lack of motivation Fatigue Depression and or anxiety Change in body composition, with fat collection in the abdomen Loss of Muscle Mass and strength Irritability Inability to remember names and places Decreased ability to problem solve Insomnia Arthritis Body pain These are all symptoms we currently are aware of associated with menopause and low testosterone.  These symptoms can be treated and reversed with bioidentical estradiol and testosterone pellets. Menopause should be treated like an illness that is universal but more severe in some women compared with others.  If your symptoms affect your lifestyle, relationships and work then you should see a doctor who treats hormone deficiency and accept treatment! However, if you allow yourself to be manipulated by a male-dominated medical system that teaches all doctors to believe that menopause is normal as women age and don't seek out hormone replacement, then you just may be setting yourself up for years of symptoms that are treated with handfuls of medications, but never get you back to normal. Just think about this for a minute: Men develop erectile dysfunction and experience muscle loss as they age, but medicine doesn't consider ED or Sarcopenia a natural aging process for men, they advocate and endorse treatment with testosterone, ED medications, injections for ED and therapy for ED, and in most cases pay for it!  If the male mentality would include women we would all be treated with estrogen and testosterone when we got to age 50 (or menopause). It is not just about the symptoms that E-T replacement can cure, but the diseases that you can avoid by taking estrogen and testosterone after menopause.  These avoidable diseases of aging include: Osteoporosis leading to broken bones and spinal stenosis. Heart disease and stroke Diabetes Alzheimer's Dx and dementia Obesity Low muscle mass and inability to walk or move independently. Autoimmune diseases Loss of blood flow to Lower extremity, resulting in amputations and inhibiting walking and running Severe arthritis Gout Worsening depression and anxiety Frailty which is what causes most older people to be placed in a nursing home. Just think it is not fate that gives you these conditions.  It is genetics plus lifestyle plus whether you replace your sex hormones or not! This decision is in your control.  If you really want a life free of debilitating disease and symptoms that are require constant medical care, then you must buck the system (that was designed to keep us from maintaining our mind and body) and look for a doctor to replace your testosterone and estradiol in a non-oral delivery system and maintain it for life. By stopping ERT or Testosterone like the ACOG doctors tell you to, you will start the symptoms all over again.  My job is to offer you the right type of help to reverse the effects of menopause…both symptoms and diseases. Your job is to decide whether you want to get help and become healthy by taking non-oral estrogen and testosterone for the rest of your life. Think of menopause as a disease and you will be more prepared to fight for your right to be treated by the medical system.

Loss of muscle mass or sarcopenia occurs with both aging and rapid weight loss with the use of GLP-1 medications or other weight loss methods. Sarcopenia is a decrease in the actual number of muscle fibers which can lead to weakness, a decrease in basal metabolic rate and difficulties with gaining strength. In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss strategies for minimizing sarcopenia through regular exercise and patience. There is no magic bullet here but staying consistent and continuing to progress a client's exercise program is key to combating this challenging side effect!Moving Conversation Socials Post Rehab Summit:https://thefirmbodypilates.com/post-rehab-summit/ Brian's Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6  Youtube: www.youtube.com/@brianrichey  Email: movingconvos@gmail.com IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations  Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/   Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7

HMB, magnesium, omega 3s, and vitamin D are put to the test for muscle strength and function.

Losing weight should help you live longer, but it's not always that simple. As you age, it's vital to maintain a healthy amount of lean muscle mass. Ozempic is very popular for weight loss, but trials have shown that it can cause muscle loss, not just fat loss. One study compared the use of Ozempic to a decade or more of aging. Preserving muscle mass is one of the best things you can do for longevity. Your muscles help regulate your blood sugar and support your metabolism. Sarcopenia is the term for age-related muscle loss. When you develop sarcopenia, your risk for diabetes, immune problems, and your mortality rate increases. Exercise is the best thing you can do for your muscles. Protein is the raw material for muscle-building, so it's essential to ensure you're getting enough and spreading your intake throughout the day. Grass-fed red meat is the best source of protein. Poor sleep drains muscle mass more than poor diet because muscle recovery occurs when you're sleeping. In summary, focus on the following as you age: •Increase lean muscle mass •Ensure adequate protein intake •Consume collagen •Increase magnesium glycinate, vitamin D, zinc, selenium, copper, B vitamins, and coenzyme Q10 •Consume iron from red meat L. reuteri is a microbe with many fascinating benefits and has been shown to increase muscle stem cells.
