Learn why creatine might help, why glutamine and beta-alanine may not be worth the hype, and how whole foods often outperform supplements for improving performance and recovery. Quotes to ponder: "The same result of improved performance can be achieved with the ingestion of sufficient carbohydrates and high biological value protein." "While it's safe to take glutamine as a supplement, extra glutamine doesn't help improve performance or improve immune functioning or help the body heal any faster." "Most supplements don't appear to help in reality. The quality of supplements is actually very, very important."

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.

In this episode, YARAL Pharma CEO, Stephen Beckman joins clinical sports pharmacist Jessica Beal, PharmD. to discuss an important topic for athletes and active individuals – the role topical NSAID patches can play in acute pain management. Listeners can visit www.YARALPharma.com to learn more about the company and its products or connect on LinkedIn.    Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3%    Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for treating acute pain from minor strains, sprains, and bruises in adults and children aged 6 and older.     Serious side effects may include increased risk of cardiovascular and gastrointestinal (GI) events. NSAIDs can raise the risk of heart attack, stroke, gastrointestinal bleeding, ulceration, and perforation of the stomach and intestines, which can be fatal. The risk for serious cardiovascular events may occur early in treatment and may increase with duration of use. Elderly patients and those with a history of peptic ulcer disease or GI bleeding are at higher risk for serious GI events.    Do not use in patients who are allergic to diclofenac or any of its ingredients, or have a history of asthma, urticaria, or other allergic-type reactions after taking aspirin or other NSAIDs. Do not use in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Avoid use on broken skin. Discontinue immediately if signs of hypersensitivity occur.      Patients should be informed about the warning signs and symptoms of liver problems. Discontinue use if abnormal liver tests persist or worsen or if signs of liver disease develop. Avoid using Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% in patients with severe heart failure unless the benefits are expected to outweigh the risks.    The most common side effects include itching, nausea, and headache. Patients should stop use and consult their doctor at the first sign of skin rash or other signs of sensitivity.    Patients should ask their doctor if Diclofenac Epolamine Topical System 1.3% is right for them.

In recent years “Zone 2 training” has gained immense popularity in fitness and health circles, often being proclaimed the “best” cardiovascular training for metabolic health.  Zone 2 training is sustained, low-intensity exercise below the lactate threshold that is commonly employed by many elite level endurance athletes, with a variety of proposed performance benefits. This led to interest from health-conscious folks about its ability to  improve markers like VO2 max and mitochondrial function, which are associated with better health outcomes and longevity.  Prof. Brendon Gurd, an exercise physiologist at Queen's University, is  the co-author of a recent review published in Sports Medicine that examined some of the claims made around zone 2 training and health in the general population. This episode looks at whether the evidence truly supports Zone 2 as a uniquely effective training zone or if this hype has outpaced the research. These insights help professionals and individuals make evidence-based recommendations and avoid unintended negative consequences of following certain ideas. About The Guest Dr. Brendon Gurd is a Professor in the School of Kinesiology and Health Studies at Queen's University, where his research focuses on exercise physiology and skeletal muscle adaptation. His work explores how different intensities and types of exercise influence mitochondrial content and function in muscle tissue, with the goal of understanding how to optimize health and performance through training.
