Description:

In this episode, Dr. Datis Kharrazian explains what happens to our muscles as we age and why maintaining muscle mass is crucial for mobility, bone density, cognition, metabolic and immune health, and recovery from chronic illness. You’ll hear actionable insights about sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), the muscle-gut connection, the power of myokines, and how hormones, nutrition, and strategic exercise can make a life-or-death difference.


You’ll hear evidence-based guidance on protein intake, key nutrients, common causes of dysfunctional muscle metabolism, and how to identify and address issues like statin-induced myopathy and abnormal muscle tone.


To dive deeper, enroll in the Kharrazian Institute’s Degenerative Joint, Muscle, and Bone Conditions Course.
