    5:25 Six ways to salvage your hormones to prevent muscle loss as you age
    In this video, we’re going to talk about preventing muscle loss due to aging. At around age 50, women go through menopause which causes hormonal changes. Men experience hormonal changes around age 60.
    As you age and your hormones change, you can become deficient in skeletal muscle. This is known as sarcopenia. Around 40% of your metabolism is related to your muscles, so this can have detrimental effects.
    In women, estrogen decreases with age, but progesterone drops even lower. Without progesterone, you end up with a lot of problems from estrogen.
    Cholesterol is a building block for steroid hormones, like testosterone and estrogen, which directly affect your muscles. This is why low-cholesterol and low-fat diets can cause muscle loss. Coincidentally, this is why you see muscle damage and diseases associated with statin drugs.
    Here are 6 ways to protect and support your hormones to help prevent muscle loss as you age:
    1. Infrared light can increase melatonin. Sunlight, fire, and candles all provide infrared light.
    2. Regular, consistent, resistance exercise is the most potent stimulator of muscle building.
    3. Ensure adequate intake of high-quality animal protein. Aim for .8 to 1.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight each day.
    4. Consume plenty of cholesterol from meat and dairy.
    5. Try pregnenolone supplements. Start out with 30 mg per day for women and 100 mg for men.
    Pregnenolone is a precursor for important hormones related to muscle building.
    6. DHEA is a precursor for hormones that help build muscle. Try 25 mg for women and 100 mg for men.

      @@nrr7106 the desire to consume sugar is connected to eating carbohydrates. Carbs turn to sugar in the blood. Gives you a boost of energy. But when you switch to the foods that this man promotes, you start obtaining energy from ketones. This in turn significantly reduces your cravings for sugar. It takes some time but it happens if you do it correctly. Interestingly, a lot of people also find that their cravings for other substances are significantly reduced or eliminated as well.

      Him citing studies is merely a deceiving smoke screen from which he jumps to unfounded conclusions and makes it all seem so simple. You obviously have no clue how intensely complex human biochemistry actually is. So you don't understand the drastic simplifications he makes. Everything he says is speculation, not fact. Again, he's just a chiropractor. If CZcams didn't exist would you go to chiropractor for medical/nutritional advice? You need to double-check his claims from more reliable sources before you blindly believe them. I suggest beginning with Wikipedia. If you study it closely you will find many holes in what he says; and that some of his recommendations are actually dangerous for your health. Good luck.@@joycee5493

    I'm almost 72 years old, and still able to gain muscle, and my body fat is a mere 10%. Granted, I have been a life long exerciser who never smoked, took drugs, or drank heavily. I work a different muscle group every workout with 2 days rest between muscle groups. I use the heaviest weight that I can handle for between 6- 10 reps moving very slowly and concentrating on the lowering phase of the exercise. I use Mike Mentzer's pre exhaust technique, and rarely perform more than 2 sets of any exercise, and I only perform 2 exercises per body part. I also perform sprints on an elliptical machine using both my lower and upper body going all out for as long and hard as I can last: usually between 20-30 seconds with 90 seconds of rest between sprints. I repeat this 8-10 times. I only do the sprints once every 12 days so that I can fully recover from the stress of the all out intensity. I also do Wim Hof breathing exercises, then take a cold plunge in 32-34 degree Fahrenheit water for between 3-5 minutes on the days that I don't perform any strength training. I still feel like a 20 year old most of the time outside of feeling a little stiff first thing in the morning which passes after I have been active for 30 minutes or so. I am one of your subscribers, and really enjoy your videos. For many years, I was a vegan, but started the keto diet after seeing your videos and have never felt better.

Since I am burning fat for fuel, steady state cardio isn't needed and boring. 12-16ozs red meat, 5 eggs, and sometimes fish for food. MUCH better shape now than my 20s or 30s.

Other than when I'm on vacation, I've never missed a single day of exercising. 4 days weight lifting, 3 days cardio. I do long dog walks in the evening and stay active gardening, Etc. My main diet consists of meat, lots of eggs, lots of vegetables, and occasional fruit. I almost never eat corn, wheat, sugar, and avoid all seed oils. I only use butter, olive, and coconut oil.
    My recent stats were perfect. A1C of 41, BP of 105/62, Resting heart rate of 48, triglycerides of 48, LDL of 92, HDL of 68. I take zero prescription drugs. I always find it amusing for a doctor checkup, the nurse is in shock when she asks what prescription drugs I take when I say none. 😂
    This isn't a comment to brag, it's to show that it is possible to live a healthy prescription medicine free life into old age with proper diet and exercise. I absolutely do not have genetics on my side either. My dad was 450lbs and had a quadruple bypass at age 59. His dad was 400lbs and had a triple bypass at age 68. My brother is obese and the majority of my moms family are overweight and obese. I refuse to go down that path.

Which are rapidly being addressed and "healing" within a couple months.......MY blood tests which were EXTENSIVE for the work I did in environmental assessments and cleanups of some of the MOST toxic and deadly things you never even heard of.....was SO PERFECT...at first they would draw a second round of blood (Multiple test tubes to complete all the tests) because they thought the lab screwed up! I ate everything and anything. Enjoyed all sorts of foods at any time in any amounts. AND my A1C is still below 5.6! My cholesterol is norm, blood pressure at 127/82, uric acid below 5, etc., etc. At 65 now, I still put in 10 to 12 hours on the job, although it's a supervisory work with little to no physical effort.

    I am a huge advocate of resistance training. Do it in a way that you enjoy, I won't say what's best for any one person. I enjoy heavy lifting (strongman style with a variety of other styles mixed including calisthenics). Since the covid lockdown that tried to destroy us, I have regained my previous weight and surpassed it with 15 lbs of lean muscle (a touch of body fat because I'm gaining and want to avoid a calorie deficit) and went from 190 to 210 lbs. At 52 I see no reduction in the ability to grow muscle. I eat far more meat and protein now than anytime prior, and this has directly contributed to my increase muscle growth. I'm back to 300+lb squats and 400+lb deadlifts purely as a natty and a casual gym goer. I train 1 to 2 times a week. Recovery is key. I feel young, look young and my virility is high. Lifting heavy (high percentage max weight, lower reps) stimulates natural testosterone and HGH production if balanced with a proper diet, sleep, and recovery. My lady, who is going through menopause, has also started lifting again and it's made a world of difference for her. She's regained the muscles she had 20 years ago. Your body is driven by muscles. Your skeleton is nothing without muscles. We suffer no joint pain because they are trained to move, and our bodies are supported by strong muscles and connective tissues.
