Importance of Muscle Mass as We Age

Ever heard of sarcopenia?

This is the concept that we start to lose muscle mass as we age.

The reality is that this is even more pronounced for women as we go through the changes that happen in menopause.

That is why we did an episode all about continuing to build muscle while not needing to lift heavy weights.

There are many reasons that people don't like to lift heavy or are afraid to do so.

But there are other options!

Check out our full podcast episode on the topic here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjppDRpm5x4&list=PLk5UkBNdJQpZ_IlqhLBE41JP1xfPRhVEn
