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.

I am 80. My doctor told me my high cholesterol keeps her awake at night . I said , “Does my low blood pressure keep you awake, too?” She did not answer. No clogged arteries. No signs of heart disease. Still firm with strong muscles. I quit sugar in my 30’s. That is my answer.
Hi! Norma here from Florida, USA
How did you start quitting sugar...?
@@nrr7106move out of USA for a start
@@nrr7106I believe quitting sugar is impossible BUT REDUCING SUGAR IS POSSIBLE
@@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.
Just eat meat cooked in its fat with some vegetables and fruit Don't consume anything in a box or packaging, my Dr recommended that I go for 30 minute walks 3 Times a week, i am 64 years old
I've been exercising regularly since I was 18, and now I'm 18 with 43 years of experience.
Very witty 😂
🎉❤😂
😂😂😂 I love that! I started weight training in college, as a phys ed class. I never left that class. I am 57 now and my body is 30, not quite as young as 18😂😂 Have a healthy and long rest of the journey!
I'am 18 with 61 years experience 👍💪
I'm a 55yr old tree climber my gyms in the canopy truly blessed by YAH
Im 76. I walk 3 miles 3 times a week , bike 30 minutes twice a week, and work with dumbells 3 times a week. Sold my heavy weights several years ago. Keep moving!
Shouldn’t talk about your coworkers that way 🤔🤣
@@mrrichards6007haha!
So what does that prove?
Way sold ?
👍
Thanks to Dr. Berg I now drink one cup of kefir a day, eat at least 4 eggs a day, and walk two miles a day and I am 83.
Fantastic!
FYI -- this guy is a chiropractor. He's not a nutritionist or a biochemist who specializes in nutrition. He's just pretending to be them while feeding you his speculations disguised at facts. He specialty is being a click-bait artist who feeds you what you want to hear. And you're swallowing it all hook, line and sinker.
@@MaxDooDat2 He cites studies with links in the description. You can read them anytime you like!
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
We know - he researches and presents,/shares his vast amount of knowledge. We truly appreciate his work. Thank you @@MaxDooDat2
60 year old
I've done heavy lifting and endurance training pretty much all adult life.
As of now I don't have any muscle loss so far. Actually I'm growing muscle still.
Im going on the old rule of work it or lose it. And a limit is ment to be challenged. Never stop moving.
Great vid and info Doc
Keepemcoming
Hell yeah
That's awesome! 💪🙂👍
Wow, you're doing great. You'll be around long enough to see the Second Coming of Christ. ❤️
Going to gym 3 times a week, at 74,,feel great!!
I completely agree
I had my most muscle mass at 54, so it's not all a losing game, its about protein intake and resistance training!
I agree 100 %.
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. You have helped me immensely!
Thanks a lot for sharing! Love that! I am only 64 and feel great since doing daily muscle exercises, improving my diet and taking cold showers . Will inquire about your muscle strength exercise method as I have a tendency to develop too much pain in the joints (arms in particular). Maybe I should do my moves at a slower pace or lower the weight...
Good advice.
Been training 40 years old school! Still in decent shape and pushing it to the limit in mid 50s!!!
Crazy training on your channel garageman keep it up pops subbed! Subbed
Eat lift pray
Repeat
Mid fifties? You’re still a baby 😂
Why does every video of yours feels so important? It's like you have a directory of medical issues that most of the people people face but never google.
I so agree! He is a gift from our Heavenly Father 💕
I've been following Dr. Berg for a few years now and my health has improved. All of his information is helpful!
It's called marketing
@@drimbesatsyedno,he really cares
But i disagree in cholesterol part. He said becareful of low fat diet. In fact, most of cholesterol made by our own body
I am 70, happily in menopause. Since retirement 6 years ago, and selling my last car, I have led a much more active lifestyle: cycling, walking, yoga, swimming. I eat what I like and don't put on weight. The amazing thing is that the flu I got on 31 December got me off sugar - after a lifetime of addiction! I simply don't want to eat sweet cakes and biscuits anymore. No withdrawal symptoms, and the flu is long gone
You mean you're post menopause. How is your muscle, are you lean and strong? Are you on any hormone therapy?
Did you fast when you had the flu?
You gave up sweet biscuits and became a sweet pea. ❤️
@@marciamakoviecki3295 never did HRT. Maintain my muscles with the exercise referred to in my post. And housework 😁. Lean enough
@@Penelope416 not deliberately. I did lose my appetite while I was in bed with fever (3 days). Then I started eating, and enjoyed savoury stuff
I will be 65 in 3 months and have to say in the best shape of my life.
Same at 67
Amazing. Stay safe and healthy!
Happy Birthday! That's fantastic
Just turned 68...on zero medications.....multi vitamins and supplements only..still work full time....hunt, fish, play my drums & guitar, lift free weights, walk..."blessed"...🙏
Thanks Dr. Berg! 💪
1. I’m a healthy 65 yo, Carnivore, IF devotee.
2. Additionally, I engage in CONSISTENT daily MIIT exercise.
3. Moderate Intensity Intermittent Training.
4. Injury avoidance & CONSISTENCY are my two priorities for health & longevity.
Awesome. 63 and lift 4x+ a week and run hard HIIT on a treadmill. As fast as I can sprint 9-12mph (or so the Matrix TM at the gym says) for 25 secs, walk slow for 2.5 mins, then sprint again x8 cycles. I avoid sugars, simple carbs and processed foods. 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. Lying gov't advice ..... you have to know if is all for corp greed. Avoid all pharm drugs if at all possible.
You're welcome!
@@Noisycowonline
Big congrats to you!
74 now, exercising 5 days a week. Big time sagging skin, but able to build muscle.
I'm 80, and have noticed my muscles gradually diminishing over the last 10 years or so.
So this info is very pertinent.
Thank you doctor Berg.
Six ways to salvage your hormones to prevent muscle loss:
1. Infrared (sunlight)
2. Resistance exercise (weights/bands)
3. Animal protein
4. Balanced cholesterol (meats / dairy / butter)
5. Pregnenolone
6. DHEA
Resistance exercises are very important to strengthen our muscles, which will eventually prevent our bones from osteoporosis
My muscle has torn on each arm. Trying find dhea but no luck. I do have osteoporosis too.
@@br4180 Do intermittent fasting and avoid highly processed foods/ drinks
I'm turning 59 in May. I will always be a youngster! You look young and I follow you and heed your advice because of your energy! 😊
Great video, I agree with all of it. Diet and exercise is so important. Sadly few people do it.
I'm a 47yo male. I've been exercising daily and eating a healthy diet for almost 29 years. 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.
47 , you're a youngster. 😂
@@musicman7297 Yes and no. All the people around me that are a similar age are still incredibly unhealthy and on multiple medications, statins, Etc. I can't imagine what their lives will be like when they hit or if they reach 60s and beyond. It's lifelong decisions that determine someone's health as they age.
Awesomeness! 💪💛
Dude...When I was 45...worked TWO 8-hour shifts unloading trucks at 2 different warehouses.....then at 52 starting working in a distribution center, walked 20 to 36 miles on 10-to-12-hour shifts.....and I grew up with the Motto..."Eat, Drink and Be Merry or Pissed Off! LOL I NEVER did a damn thing to take care of my health....I grew up on a family farm...eat fruits and veggies right out of the ground or off the tree, ate as much meat as we butchered, drank a gallon of REAL whole cow's milk EVERY DAY for over 60 years of my life, got plenty drunk in my youth....even smoked from age 12 to 25.....was very athletic...cycling racing, trained over 100 miles per day...did all sorts of physical work and activities...damaged nearly every joint, tendon, ligament in my body, NEVER had any surgeries to "repair" them(natural healing)... and ONLY now at 65 am I experiencing any "abnormalities". 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. But at home I do all sorts of physical work hours after day job and on weekends. SOOO....WHY BRAG? Because EACH OF US IS UNIQUE...and DIFFERENT!! GLAD you are doing well and taking care of your health...one LESS BURDEN on the REST of US to take care of you!! And BTW...My ethnic heritage is such that ALL of the older people lived well into their 90's or OVER 100...and a man is his 40's is considered a YOUNG MAN!! Middle age is more like 65 to 75. ALL of my great grandmothers had between 12 to 15 children. Two of them had their last (healthy) babies at 48 and 50! So maybe you just need to BUY yourself some GOOD new Jeans?! LOL
I am 58, I also exercise frequently, cardio and resistance. I emphasize resistance at the gym, and try to incorporate cardio into my life. I will often walk to do errands. I eat a similar diet as you, all meat and a few veggies. My dad had a quad in his early 60's, and both my brothers are on BP and stain drugs, so I know where my genetics would have led me if I adopted a western diet and sedentary life. Keep doing what you are doing, I love going for check ups. I have nurses that think they made some error when they check my vitals. My BP is low, my blood work is great. I feel fantastic and high energy every day. This is what you have to look forward to if you keep it up for another decade, somehow I think you will. Best of health.
The more I learn from you about the human body and how it all works, the more I am in awe of God
I’m 55 & very active. At 52 pre-menopause started. Muscle tone went down, energy & some symptoms of hormone loss were extreme. After 2 years of finding the right hormone treatment, I’m 90% back to where I was. Dr Berg videos have been life-improving for me. This video oozes solutions that work. Ladies-don’t allow hormone changes to keep you down. Study options & remain diligent in finding what works for you. I look
What kind of hormone treatment did you do? Hormonal therapy?
I’m wondering how you found the right hormone treatment for your body?
I’m here for this….
Tell us more please?
Do you do hormonal replacement therapy?
Thanks Burger,, I love getting older. My mind is soaring to happiness Ive never known. 67 currently. Bring it on !
Burger ???? It's Berg.
is that hum-burger you eat to stay young?
I like the audio level of this video. Some of your older videos have pretty low audio levels. Glad that it has improved.
Looks like he's using a different mic. This one might not require as much gain as the other one. I noticed the level is better, too.
I was involved with a man who pressured me into a high carb and low protein/fat diet for 3 years. I lost a lot of muscle mass.
I was over 60.
I knew better, but I was also helping him take care of two people who had terminal illnesses.
I stopped seeing him because he was literally making me sick.
I'm eating more meat and fat now... but I have a lot of work to do.
Thanks Dr Berg
63 - no meds, swim 20k per week, walk 100 min. 50 push ups daily, breath work, ice bath, 4 x 30 min saunas every week. Sometimes i wonder when will i start feeling old!
It’s a fun journey, thanks for all your information, I have learned so much
100 k minimum that is
You swim 12.5 miles a week ? Wow that's a lot of swimming ! 😮

Extremely important topic for discussion. I started getting concerned about it as I am ageing, and when I observe my elderly mother losing her muscle strength. Thanks a lot for the pieces of advice.
Right on time, again. I fell on the ice yesterday, and felt the muscle loss on my rear end

Thank you Dr. Berg for keep on keeping on here on CZcams.
You're the doctor! Thanks for those unique informations.. 🙏🏻
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.
"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."
Thanks Doc,stay healthy!

Decrease of stomach acid is the real root cause of loss of muscle mass. Simply increasing stomach acid solves most problems.
Exactly! Not sure why De Berg didn't mention stomach acid.

I though staring at the sun was a bad idea but in the early morning you get mostly infrared. This light penetrates through the eye sockets into the brain area. I do it early in the morning when I can.
Dr. Wiedeman says that too!
I feel like a little bit of sunshine except for summer afternoon strong bright light a bit of it in our eyes and skin I think does more good than harm ! I also indulge in a bit of sweets here and there I feel like I’ve found a good balance for now completely cutting it down sent me down a dark dark place ED.

Muscles are important, because they are actually a ‘shield’ inside our body. & protects against many things, including disease.
I was on a statin for six years stopped taking two years ago and actually my muscle has returned. I’m 57. Always been strong. It was very strange experience. I knew something was very wrong.
Many thanks, Dr. Berg, our hero! 🎉
Same here. I turned into a fat skeleton,I lost all my muscle. I’m just about getting there after 4 years of hard work. I’m sure I wouldn’t be here if I was still taking statins!
Right, this should be interesting.
just love your knowledge❤❤❤
Thanks for watching & sharing feedback.
I really needed to hear this. I never had any health issues, until after I swapped out my Star Trek flip phone Communicator, for a Smart Phone and spending a lot of time on it. I always feel better after being outside. Thanks Dr.

My doctor gave me nacsys 600 lozenges to drink for lungs during covid Google it
I had a friend who did breathing exercises and they helped her. Also had another friend who played saxaphone who had remarkable lung capacity - he could blow up a whole balloon with one breath. Maybe you could look into breathing exercises or take up a woodwind or brass instrument to help. Just a thought.

Dr Berg, thank you for all youve done for so many. I had been on a vegetarian diet for 3 years when i began suffering pre diabetic symptoms. I switched to a balanced meat based diet, started watching your videos and now 3 years later, im healthy and doing great. Thank you!
You look so handsome doc looking 10 years younger at least ❤ keep up the great work! Love from Spain

I have a question. Is a natural progesterone cream help promote muscle salvaging? Or, would you say a better alternative source is a progesterone capsule sold maybe in a Whole Foods.
Absolutely amazing
I appreciate those kind words.

At 62 it is vital for me to exercise. But if I had a grandmother who looked like the lady in the thumbnail? My childhood would have been quite different. For one thing, she would have picked up my ornery grandfather and tossed him out of the house- well before WW2 ended!😂
