Understanding the Aging Process
Sarcopenia and Muscle Loss
Aging brings sarcopenia, a fancy term for muscle loss, which starts creeping in around age 30 and speeds up after 50. It sounds daunting, but gaining muscle is still within reach! Knowing how sarcopenia works lets us fight back with smart exercise and nutrition strategies to keep those muscles strong and resilient as we age gracefully.

By understanding these changes and adjusting our lifestyle, we can combat the effects and still achieve significant muscle growth. Stay tuned for strategies to outsmart these pesky hormonal shifts.
