Muscle Loss After 40? What Your Doctor Isn't Telling You
Muscle loss is often considered an inevitable part of aging, but how much control do we really have over maintaining strength and physical vitality after 40? In this episode of More Life to Your Years, Vincent Ferguson welcomes Ami Porges for an important conversation about age- related muscle loss, also known as sarcopenia, and its impact on metabolism, mobility, balance, and long-term health. The discussion explores why preserving muscle mass becomes increasingly important as we get older and why many adults may overlook the connection between muscle health, nutrition, resistance training, and healthy aging. For adults over 40, the message is clear: maintaining muscle is about much more than appearance or physical fitness. It is an investment in independence, mobility, strength, and quality of life as we age. The conversation encourages viewers to take a more proactive approach to their health by prioritizing strength-building activities, adequate nutrition, and informed discussions with healthcare professionals. Rather than accepting physical decline as an unavoidable consequence of getting older, adults can take meaningful steps toward protecting their strength and extending their healthspan.
