I started my one-year plan to be fit by fifty. I'm 11 months in. I've tripled my protein intake and cut carbs quite a bit. I hit my target weight last month and have gained a crazy amount of muscle. My Dr. was amazed. The only thing missing is mobility, which I'm starting to work on now with platies. I've not felt this good in many years. The crazy thing I keep running into is that when I discuss it with people, they nearly always make a point of saying they could never do it as if it's so difficult.
the response from you should be a question. When you will 85 years old and physically broken down what would you pay for the ability to be strong and have some vitality?
@@larayne I have been three days on and with one rest day then back to three days on. I do resistance training for 45 mins to an hour. I rotate through complimentary muscle groups in a lightly modified PPL routine. Chest/triceps, back/biceps, etc. I follow up with 20 minutes of cardio. Usually treadmill or bike, I start fast and get my heart rate up, then "try" to maintain that for the duration. I just recently modified the schedule to every other day as 'Im in maintenance mode now. I don't need to push quite as hard to maintain but i still want to continue to build muscle at a reasonable rate. I have no intention of being a big hulk of a man, Isimply want to keep the muscle definition and good strength. The exercise aside, nutrition was instrumental in the process. High protein, low carbs with a good dose of intermittent fasting did the trick.
Sorry for your loss. There is no guarantee that anything that we do, will prevent any of us getting.... But taking measures to lessen the chances, is a smart move. All the best, take care. ❤
Your video backs up the information I have been seeking and learning lately. Thank you for the clear explanation regarding the connection between muscle loss, Alzheimer’s, and stokes, and for some basic criteria to turn that around.
This is why I continue to eat a high protein, moderate fat and low-carb diet (which is Atkins, not keto). Lost 45 lbs last year while adding lean muscle mass and have MAINTANED my weight loss. I'm 54. Never going back to being obese.
@@siemprestruggle9272 I don't ever measure it but I know from the types of foods I eat every day that protein is by far the highest of the macronutrients I consume....then a moderate amount of fat, then low-carb. It works and really helps stave off the cravings (both the high protein and moderate fat help with that).
@@Highintensityhealth I was wondering if you could comment on Kathleen Stewart (3 part interview) on the Strong Sistas podcast...the Minnesota starvation experiiment...it sounds very compelling
I have a friend who is soon 81 years old. He looks and moves as what we would consider in these times, a healthy 60 year old. He walks rain or shine 6 kilometres twice a day. Last night he was coaching soccer and packing the gear around. Proof!
I started lifting in my mid twenties, about 15 years ago. There’s nothing more inspiring than a 60, 70 year old + person hitting the weights at the gym and defying all the stereotypes. I fully intend to be that guy myself. In part because they’ve been an inspiration to me and I want to share that with others. Especially my kids. On average, the human body is a lot more resilient than we’ve been led to believe. But you have to treat it right.
If I had to pick two fitness tools for life, I would stick with lifting weights and yoga. One develops and conditions muscle, the other helps maintain the quality of that muscle and it's underlying connective structures.
I swing a 20 pound sledgehammer with 20 pound vest, run a lot and push a 200-500 pound wheelbarrow, hike 1-2 hours a day and use dumbbells, kettlebells, the barbell, medicine balls, macebells, lift rocks and logs, hit the heavybag and do some bodyweight movements like pushups and pullups, helps keep and build lean muscle mass for sure. Eat mainly minimally processed whole foods.
I do weight training three times a week. Ride my bike in the short summer months of Wisconsin. Should walk more for sure. Not overweight, 63 year old female. Been eating more meat, eggs and butter. Still can see muscle atrophy and my skin has that wonderful aging laxity to it. Also take collagen peptides. I am afraid to take creatine because I’ve heard it can cause hair thinning and definitely don’t want that. Feel like I’m missing something in my diet or not absorbing nutrients properly?
Excellent video, sarcopenia means risk of falling beside the issue of cardiovascular prob/ alzheimer's issues.... thanksMike! resistance training & protein, vitamin D better outcomes!
I want to increase my protein intake. I already eat plenty of fatty meat cooked in butter. Is whey protein an option. It seems like a UPF. Is there a minimally processed whey protein that you recommend? Are the Myoxcience products available in Europe?
we already know this from people who are disabled and can't walk from birth. they all have metabolic diseases earlier in life and higher risk of cancer -my personal theory is lymph system is not working optimally form lack of movement in addition to lower muscle. Protein on its own doesn't build muscle. using muscle builds muscle. Too low protein will impact immune system which is also a problem in nursing homes and disability care homes where protein is very very low.
@@OceansbutalsoLakes thanks! i do take nattō, but more for its vitamin k2 content which would help against blood vessel plaque. do you know how it could potentially help with pericarditis?
My doctor had me take dissolve it all from mitolife. I was not sure what to expect but I will say that it eventually made the side of my face feel like it was…melting on the inside. After I had this sensation I no longer was dizzy all the time.
@@JDVRadio there was a PubMed study on natto for cardiovascular diseases. My dad had heart issues recently, likely aggravated by the jab, and I’m hoping it can improve CVD symptoms. Best of luck!
Not sure what you mean? Muscle mass is also beneficial for women. Women tend to have slower muscle growth than men, so there’s no danger of just waking up a body builder on accident, if that’s your concern.
So by this logic. Mr Olympia competitors should live past 100. Instead what we see is the higher the body mass including muscle mass especially the earlier death. Real world results
Should be common sense. Alot of old people aren't capable not because they're old- but because they never exercised and kept their muscle mass up. Most people only go off what puberty gave them. And slowly but surely it degenerates. I rarely help the old. Ironically by helping you do more harm.
"...deadlifts..." - deadlifts are stupid. See articles such as "Unpopular opinion: Deadlifts aren't that great" by Christian Thibaudeau, Strongman Robert Oberst said on Joe Rogan: "the risk isn't worth the reward". The reason why people do it is basically because it's required for competitions and "everybody does it".
Yet another example of a prime logical falicy exposing the deeply flawed foundation for our entire understanding of the causes of dis-ease. Muscle mass is reduced when your liver is so damaged that it cannot filter your blood quickly enough to enable muscles to respond to activity demands. Since my liver struggles to process all the toxins in my environment I have been unable to exercise as become ill with herxhimer reactions each time I attempt to after recovering from the current attempt for my liver to mount a response. This guy is just piling on the unwarranted guilt that seriously ill but undiagnosed, overweight people who are made to feel lazy and greedy for an issue they are willfully kept in the dark about by the Western science elite. Way to go.... 🙄

Motor units are crucial too!! That's why I incorporate flexibility and agility into my routine.
My mother just passed away 😢 from dementia. I lift weights, eat healthy fats and fast. I do not want to end up like her, so sad to watch.

At age 60 I’m fighting back as I care for my aging Alzheimer’s laden parents.
Great synthesis of critical info!

I thank The Most High YAH & my Dad's genetics for my muscle mass! And I'm 36.
Speaking of the caffeine example, I can have a coffee before bed and be great; but give me a black tea and I'm wide awake 😅
Thanks buddy
You got it!
If I had to pick two fitness tools for life, I would stick with lifting weights and yoga. One develops and conditions muscle, the other helps maintain the quality of that muscle and it's underlying connective structures.
That’s what I’ve been doing. Strength and mobility are the two big things that people lose in old age
Another great video! Thank You 🙏
Thanks Mike...keep singing the muscle train song👍
thanks
❤Mike i love your work. Thank you.
Ok, OK, I'll go out to the gym now!
Good Information. Very Helpful.
I swing a 20 pound sledgehammer with 20 pound vest, run a lot and push a 200-500 pound wheelbarrow, hike 1-2 hours a day and use dumbbells, kettlebells, the barbell, medicine balls, macebells, lift rocks and logs, hit the heavybag and do some bodyweight movements like pushups and pullups, helps keep and build lean muscle mass for sure.

I should have lifted my first year of keto. Carnivore now, and lifting.

I am afraid to take creatine because I’ve heard it can cause hair thinning and definitely don’t want that. Feel like I’m missing something in my diet or not absorbing nutrients properly?
Stick with the recommended amount (usually 5g) and you should be fine. The potential hair thinning is if you're genetically prone to hair loss.
Not enough stomach acid will basically void any benefits of supplements and protein
Excellent video, sarcopenia means risk of falling beside the issue of cardiovascular prob/ alzheimer's issues.... thanksMike! resistance training & protein, vitamin D better outcomes!
Dad had a servere stroke at 50, devasting, will try and avoid
This video is so full of jargon, it’s almost incomprehensible.
Where are the links to the studies? I don't see them in the video description.
Is it just low muscle mass, or is muscle a proxy for healthy lifestyle?
thank u
the increasing numbers of people who are taking Ozempic best listen to this
Hi metabolism all my life(66)... workout too, mostly cross train, sports(lifetime), hard to keep weight here. I know muscle mass down...
Yup, my mother-in-law was fat skinny no muscle she developed dementia.
We used to call that chubby.
True
I want to increase my protein intake. I already eat plenty of fatty meat cooked in butter. Is whey protein an option. It seems like a UPF. Is there a minimally processed whey protein that you recommend? Are the Myoxcience products available in Europe?
I agree with all that but sometimes it seems you and Thomas DeLauer try to out nerd each other. 💪
Really? I like Thomas and consider him a friend but we're not in competition whatsoever!
