The silent killer that begins at just 30.
Muscle loss.
Do nothing and it guarantees:
→ Frailty
→ Strength loss
→ A shorter and lower quality life
But luckily there is a simple answer.
Here is your 5-Step Playbook to stop muscle loss in it's tracks:
Age-related muscle loss, called sarcopenia, is a natural part of aging.
After age 30, you begin to lose 3% to 5% every decade.
Most men will lose about 30% of their muscle mass during their lifetimes.
This is a massive indicator for lower quality life...
But the good news...

Here are 5 Steps to fix it for good...
1. Increase Testosterone
One contributor to sarcopenia is the natural decline of testosterone as we age.
This hormone stimulates protein synthesis and muscle growth.
Think of testosterone as the fuel for your muscle-building fire.
As the fuel goes so does the fire.

2. Eat High Protein:
Diet plays a key role in building muscle.
Protein is the king macro here.
The body breaks it down into amino acids, and uses it to build muscle.
Older men experience anabolic resistance, which lowers their ability to break down and synthesize protein.

The body breaks it down into amino acids, and uses it to build muscle.
Older men experience anabolic resistance, which lowers their ability to break down and synthesize protein.
So, if you are older, you need to eat more.
A daily intake of 0.8 - 1gm of protein per lb of body weight for older adults who do resistance training is ideal.
For example, a 150lb man would need about 150g a day.
An easy way to start is follow this 2-minute meal plan:

Easy sources of protein:
• Milk
• Eggs

3. Lift Weights
Basic, but too many don't do it.
Dial in a weights program and train at 3-5x/week.
Huge ROI.
Men can see noticeable strength gains in weeks and muscle mass not long after.
Just be consistent and this can add 7-10 + years to your life.
So what should you do?

A typical training program:
• 8 to 10 exercises that target all the major muscle groups
• Sets of 5-12 reps performed at 0-2 RIR (Reps in reserve)
• 3-5x workouts per week (but even one beats nothing)
Then overload by adding:
- Reps
- Weight
- Improving form

5. Vitamin D
Vitamin D production decreases with age
It supports energy supply by maintaining normal mitochondrial functions.
Reduced energy results in a decrease of muscle function, usage, and mass.
Getting enough Vitamin D is crucial in combatting sarcopenia
