56 year old male. I’ve lifted weights consistently since I was 15. I follow a mostly carnivore diet and I also hike every week. In bed by 9pm up by 530am. Do this consistently and your life will improve.
I totally agree. 77 year old male on carnivore diet. Walk a mile almost every day, lift weights three times a week. Never smoked and hardly ever drink. Haven't had a cold in over 30 years, BP 112/70, last time in hospital I was being born. And ALL body parts function as intended. No jabs also.
I just retired from my multi decade desk job 4 months ago. One of my retirement goals is to get back into shape. I cannot tell you how much I’ve improved physically in such a short amount of time. I can actually sleep all night without drugs now! Let’s be honest - a desk job will kill you faster than anything if you allow it to. Healthy diet and exercise Baby! 💯 💪
Congrats to you! My husband just did this, he began using our Tonal religiously, finally got sufficient sleep and takes our pups on daily walks with me. He has truly aged backwards & got off blood pressure meds in just one year. He looks incredible at 52. I can’t recommend Tonal or any regular strength training and an animal based diet with organic fruits & vegetables enough. Good luck to you.
Lift weights to rev up metabolism, eat enough protein to keep muscle mass, and sleep well to recover from exercise. Daily walks 5000-10000 steps for fresh air and free vitamin d:) . Good luck to all!
@@toolegittoquit_001sure, do it onec and a while, don't take it seriously and live an unhealthy life full of burdens you would not have had it you exercised, your choice.
Summary Dr. Eric Berg DC shares how to build muscle in this video: - Exercise: Resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT). - Nutrition: Eat enough high-quality protein (red meat, collagen), supplement micronutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D, zinc. - Sleep: Get enough sleep to restore muscles. - L. Reuteri bacteria: Supports muscle growth and reduces stress. - Avoid: Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet.
I haven't eaten red meat for 20 years. As I approached 50 I started to work out, and had a significant muscle increase. I do eat chicken nearly every day, and started hemp seed protein about 6 months ago, which I believe has helped. I'm sure if I ate red meat I would see "more" muscle increase (I don't need more), but it is certainly not required. I'm not vegan, but I suggest people google "vegan body builders" and understand that it works for many people; perhaps not everyone.
My work is outdoors and physical. I started doing a 3 k hike with my dogs through the woods 3-4 times a week. Big difference in energy and all round wellness. I’m more limber, aches and pains have disappeared, feel stronger and at 63 I have lost the pot belly. Started eating near keto, not quite keto yet, and my weight dropped 10 lbs. I wasn’t trying to lose weight. Love Dr. Berg.
Your lifestyle is what kept previous generations healthy. Outdoors physical work……not sitting in an office getting carpal tunnel and a pot belly…..well done
Donts 1. Sedentary life style 2. Stress 3. Siting laying watching tv social media 4. Less than required sleep 5. Diet junk and unhealthy Dos 1. Move - active - mobile 2. Work out lifting dumbbells etc 3. Walk jog regularly 4. Positive mindset 5. Diet protein eggs red meat chicken fish 6. Avoid processed foods soft drinks 7. Stick to natural plant based fresh fruit juices nuts dry fruits seasonal fruits
Don't agree with #7, fruit juices and dried fruit are a no- no. So much concentrated SUGAR is terrible. Fresh fruit only, in moderation, is okay. And very limited if following a ketogenic diet.
Y'all this video is one of the best videos of Dr Berg's for OLDER PEOPLE. My husband and I are early 60's and just 10 days ago, started eating this yogurt and it has SERIOUSLY changed our lives. Im sleeping so well now, that I'm almost completed restored. I'm an avid cardio exerciser and we eat grass fed beef 2X's a day, fast, HUGE fresh veggie eaters but without the yogurt, we we're only spinning our wheels. PLEASE PLEASE watch Dr Berg's video on how to make this "yogurt" I feel like I've turned back the clock on aging!!!
Thank you for sharing your good experience. I had tried Organic Greek yogurt with Lactobacillus Casei, and L.bulgaricus....but it made bloating worse. Possibly a Histamine issue... I will order the L. reuteri early next week. Thank you very much again.
So glad you are bringing up SARCOPENIA and its devastating effect on the body. This video is a MUST SAVE. It represents keystone knowledge. Thank you again.
I am grateful that you did this video! I have been teaching this for the past 6 years. Some people just don't understand because they focus on (let's call them) old teachings. We can live so much longer and healthier if we just unlearned the old teachings and learned new. Shine on Doc!!!!
This is the craziest thing ever. I was just thinking I’m going to the gym and I’m wondering how to build more muscle at 52 and up Pops Dr. Berg not even two minutes later with this awesome video.
i go by the bible, GOD MADE MAN AND ANIMALS IN THE BEGINNING AND PUT MAN KIND IN THE GARDEN, NOT IN THE CATTLE FIELD. HE TOLD MAN WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT NOT TO. LETS FOLLOW DANIEL AND HIS 3 FRIENDS EXAMPLE. DAN. 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
Fascinating information about the L. Reuteri. I watched the video you did with the Supergut author three times and have ordered everything I need to make the yogurt! Thank you for this invaluable information!
I'm 59 and doing more now than a decade ago👍 My sleep is terrible though - I have to go for quantity over quality. My 2nd stage of sleep , after 4 to 6am, is the most restorative. I dream more and just feel better when I get that 2nd stage. I've altered routine to doing my horse in the afternoon, so I get to sleep in and get that restorative sleep👍 I eat alot of red meat - a ribeye makes all the difference to my health x P.S. oh! I heard you talk about protein for your horses 🤔 I decided to trymy girl on alfalfa chop (high protein/low sugar) and what a difference!!! She has more energy but is calmer and happier in herself. Thank you❤
Hey congratulations. I just turned 57. Many people I meet guess my age in the mid to late 40's but on some days I feel old too. But I feel pretty good and high energy most days.
Dear Dr. Berg, your informative videos have helped save my mother's life and mine. I'm immensely thankful to you. Whenever your video shows up, I like it before watching. Everything they've been teaching us is wrong. From mainstream science to other people online who take advantage of this situation. You have changed my life in ways I can't even describe. Wish you all the best
@@lisasummerlin3238 Just make sure its organic to avoid pesticide residue from the apples. Make sure its raw unpasteurized, undiluted, with the beneficial "mother" friendly bacteria.
An excellent resource for anyone looking to maintain or build muscle as they age. It combines practical advice, backed by science, with actionable tips on exercise, nutrition, and supplementation. The insights into the role of muscle in overall health and longevity are incredibly empowering, and the innovative inclusion of probiotics adds a cutting-edge dimension to the discussion. It's not just informative but also highly motivating, making complex topics easy to understand and implement. Truly a must-watch for anyone committed to healthy aging!
I'm a 53 year old housewife with a 2 year old active Labrador, wood stove (lots of heavy lifting to handle the house's wood needs), and huge garden. My comfortable max weight to dead lift and carry is 50 lbs and I'm 110 lbs myself, LOL. I'm an avid intermittent AND longterm faster (my max water fast is 9 days and max dry fast is 3 days). My upper body, especially, is well-defined (like it was in my 30s when I regularly lifted weights in the gym since I had a desk job). People afraid they'll lose muscle due to fasting are missing the boat. I am particularly active and my life requires "weight lifting," but still, I'm convinced that the human growth hormone (HGH) increase by fasting has done more to build muscle than fasting diminishes it.
Thank you so much for your nice post....same here regarding the dogs and the woodstove....I have lost too much weight due to severe illness though thankfully in recovery except dealing with Chemotherapy side effects since early 2018. My weight is stuck at 45 kg...I had tried to leave a minimum of four hours between meals to aid peristalsis on the gut. Due to malabsorption issues that is difficult as I am always hungry. And despite walking a lot, trying to take care of my pets (including a few goats for a little milk) can lead me to be very tired..yet I cannot sleep. I hope this L. reuteri will help me sleep better. Also the more I do, I lose the little muscle I have in my upper body very quickly....I think I have to pace myself better, not overdo things and sleep enough. Hopefully it will all improve. I am so grateful to be alive 🙏
May I ask what exercises you do for your upper body? Oh, and I am now 58 nearly 59....I was into yoga long walks with my dogs 🐕 and always active about 57 kg with a little tummy as I loved chocolate. Thank you again 😊
@@angiefallon I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with all this! Unfortunately, the uniqueness of your situation would require a holistic medicine doctor, I think, to really make good headway. That being said, I'm doing the L. Reuteri along with my husband and 77 year old mother who had a massive stroke 9 years ago, and it's helping ALL of us (with very different bodies and medical histories) sleep a lot better. We know because suddenly we DREAM all the time! I'm sure it will impact you positively, too. Not overdoing is essential and listening to YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS is, too. There is "no size fits all" healing regimen.
allwithme 5115 Oh thank you very much for all your kind words! Your dear mum had a stroke too? I am so sorry she had this happen to her too. But also so glad you are taking such good care of each other! That is so important to have family, friends and community. When I was thanking Dr Berg for his in depth and amazing videos, I really meant that without his advice, and that of a few other enlightened Drs, the online community that follow Dr Berg and the recommendation by a friend of a friend to look up Dr Berg as well as a couple of other online Drs I would not be writing to you today. God is so good! I know what happened to me is complex...because of that it is not easy to get answers really. There are few Naturopaths in Ireland. And they vary in their fees from Euro 7000 to 10.000. To treat you over the course of a year...not including the price of supplements. And because of my having had Chemotherapy, one holistic practitioner nearby, who is interested in fermented foods and nutrition said straight off if I had Chemotherapy she would not want to help me as my system is damaged and nothing would work. That was a blow as you can imagine. As I have the benign mediastinal paravertebral tumor at T 6 as well, no health practitioner feels comfortable treating me. Physiotherapists will look but are afraid to do anything. One Chiropracter in Cork was great, but too far away as travel for longer that 10 to 15 minutes makes my back muscles go into spasm....And it takes 70 minutes to get to him. He also thinks the benign tumor at T6 innervates the gut/diaphragm, stomach, gallbladder and small bowel....he thinks the tumor should be removed especially as I cannot regain my weight despite eating a high amount of healthy foods. And the Chemotherapy with 2 different drugs could be the main issue...the after effects...as the Neurosurgeons I saw about the tumor think that I had the benign tumor for a very long time....and I had no gut issues until I had tge Molar pregnancy and the Chemotherapy to treat that. And exercise brings on the muscle spasms and worsens the muscle wasting. So it's a tough one to figure out for the Physiotherapists..... I will see a very good Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner for pain control and herbs to support the gut next month hopefully....I saw her before Christmas , just waiting for new appointment. Oh yes...the tug of war game gets played here too by the way with my sweet dogs....one of them in particular loves it so much!😂And the cold spell had me bringing in plenty of wood these past few weeks...Thank you so so much for your great advice! Wishing you and your loved ones lots of great health always and enjoy your lives! Take care. Angie
I lost muscle mass going keto two meals a day. I'll try three meals a day with 30 grams of protein each meal. I'm a 67 year old male and 163 pounds. Twice a weak I go to PF. I'll change that to three times per weak. Thanks for the video!
63 yo male. I was 88kg with a pot belly, went down to 67 kg as a vegan but lost so much muscle. Started gym and added quality protein , living healthy keto lifestyle . Now 73kg with a ripping 6 pack and feeling great. Thanks dr berg I follow you religiously
Preserving muscle mass is crucial for longevity as you age. Exercise, proper protein intake, and sleep are key. Sarcopenia, age-related muscle loss, increases health risks. L. reuteri probiotic may help increase muscle stem cells. Resistance training and a balanced diet are essential for maintaining muscle.
55 y/o male here. I work out at least 3x a week with moderate-heavy weights...intensely, not just going through the motions like I see many my age and over doing. I almost never eat anything before noon and when I do it's fresh citrus fruit/juice. I don't eat after 6 pm. The last 2 times I ate grass fed ground beef from Whole Foods and the last burger I ate from 5 Guys all gave me allergic reactions which I don't understand, so I don't eat red meat anymore. My primary foods are eggs, pine nuts, walnuts, and pecans, and organic oatmeal and buckwheat. I take a grass fed goat whey shake once a day for extra protein. For supplements I take a vegetarian superfood, 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, 4 grams of taurine, and 400 mg of magnesium lysinate glycinate twice a day within my 6 hr food window. I recently increased my creatine to 10g from 5g and my taurine from 4g to 8g and my body is growing like I'm in my 20's. I rarely get over 6 hours of sleep a night but it's very deep, restful sleep. When I wake up, usually between 5-7am, I am UP and ready to go. No grogginess at all. Maybe I'm an alien or a freak of nature I don't know, but this all works for me. My point with this is, although I watch practically every video Dr Berg makes and have had many great benefits from doing so, everyone is different. Things that work for a lot of other people just do not work for me. You have to tune into your body and pay attention to the language it speaks to your mentality instead of just deciding that something is good for you because everyone else does it. Your body knows what's best for it. Learn to listen to and follow its lead. It won't let you down! And, thank you Dr Berg for so many great videos over the years. You have been very helpful in my journey. ✌👍 🤟
"Your body knows what's best for it. Learn to listen to and follow its lead. It won't let you down! " ^^^^^ this I eat mostly keto foods, but not on a keto diet, I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years. Some non-keto foods are fine with me in moderation.
The first thing you lose when starving is muscle ,not fat. I noticed years ago taking a 2 week break from cycling is enough to notice a difference and that was nearly 30 years ago, it gets worse as you get older.
Last year I changed my exercise schedule due to additional travel. Didn’t do yoga or weights. My arms went from strong to spaghetti arms. Mid-50s…I’m starting over with arms & it takes longer.
Hi I am 57.5 years of age and have a body of a 30 something. High protein, low carb plus lifting weights absolutely works for me. Thanks as always for the videos. Simon
Thank God living without a Spleen for 8 years and walking two to three miles everyday ,eating my Native Greek Diet I feel like a Teenager .Although my sleep is a little problematic ,yet I work on that .Been 76 I'm grateful .
I'm 62 year old man, I have weight trained all of my life. I currently bench press 350 lbs in my 40s I benched 550 lbs. I'm 6'2" and I weigh 205 lbs with a 33 inch waist. I lift weights 3 days a week to keep in shape. I am very healthy, I don't take any medications ever. I eat 200 grams of protein per day to keep up my muscle mass. I have always told people that muscle mass is the true fountain of youth. I also work full time doing my day job which is nuclear physics in which I hold a PhD in from UCLA. I find that my brain appears to be getting smarter and functioning better as I age. I also ride my 200 Horse Power super bike over 100 miles per day on my daily freeway commute out here on the mean streets of California. Stay strong and stay healthy! 😊
I love Dr. Berg and so happy for his channel, however it can be overwhelming bcuz the truth is following a healthy life style is a career and you cannot take off your focus or lax in discipline for the rest of your life. Im not new to this lifestyle it just gets harder with age. "to me". Planning keto meals shopping keto..avoiding gatherings indulged with carbohydrates. Exercise regimes , shopping for the best supplements and grass fed chickens, organic everything you can afford and its expensive! Avoiding the pitfalls in our environment bcuz its design to be unhealthy and poison food is cheaper. Its a career. ❤
But iam afraid to buy meats becuz of all they say abt what there doing to our foods and not being sanitary or keeping animals healthy what do u think on this Dr. Berg.???
Thank you for speaking so clearly and directly. Your concise delivery of this information really does make it easy to understand. Kudos on your well-deserved success!
I have a desk job but I lift weights while I'm working, I also get out of the house and walk during my breaks and lunch and after work. I do not let my desk job keep me from moving.
I've just started taking taurine before bed, works better than most other things I've tried and is good for many other things. I've been able to sleep 8 or 9 hours straight.
Even though he's clearly not the biggest fan of creatine (he pretty much never talks about it), considering how much it's praised for this (and other) particular issue, he could talk about it some, simply because a lot of viewers value his opinion and are curious.
Please dr. Burg . Talk about dental fillings and the material that are used to make these fillings . And if they affect our bodies or not. Please talk about this topic
That why I bought dumbbells that is easy to access (16 kg - 20 kg)....even when I feel lazy I just pick it up and walk with it for a few minutes, making curls on both sides...it makes a big difference!
Very valuable and encouraging information! Thank you Dr Berg! Video editing suggestion: This topic is targeted at folks over 50. But most of the exercise-visuals are of younger people who are quite athletic & buff. In addition, they are doing strenuous feats that are outside of the exercise parameters for many seniors, particularly those that have been sedentary for a long time. Folks over 50 years can make enormous health gains beginning with very modest strength-training regimens, and then build from there. In future videos please include footage of seniors exercising in this more modest range so those that watch will be more likely to embrace the important message you are sharing.
I appreciate you more each video Dr Berg! I share your videos because your easy going, truthful manner is just what we need. Happy weekend to everyone🌅
I am running my farm by myself since my husband had a heart attack over a year ago. I am lifting 50lb bags of feed, stacking hay, feeding hay. We heat with wood, so I am stacking, cutting, and splitting wood. My husband sits in his chair all day. He has lost a lot of weight. He is less than 110lbs. In order to get him out of his chair I have asked him to feed the chickens in the evening. I just have to make sure I fill the feed barrel when it gets low because he can't lift 50lbs anymore. I do my best to get him to eat more meat, but he believes the doctors. 😕
@@jm47889 What would you suggest? He can't lift a bale of hay, it would be dangerous for him to go in with the goats because he is on blood thinners. My farm involves more hill than flat ground. The chickens are safe for him, that's why I got him to do them. Sometimes he will go for a short walk up the driveway, but that's it.
Thank you! Ive been wondering why i feel so out if it around 3:30 -4:30 until i eat supper at 5:30. My lunch is only leafy greens and cabbage. I will adjust my lunch to add an egg to give me protein at lunch.
Hi Dr Berg apart from following your excellent channel,,,Thanks,, I’m 59, ex 400m runner and followed with Olympic distance Tri , plus natural weightlifting,, these days I’m doing Hiit 4 x a week ,weights and bands ,, , long walks,,hi protein athletic diet, no processed food ,and fast 20.00-11.00 , my muscle loss is not noticeable,, I have hardly changed since I was 28 years old . Around 42 , I noticed I needed to go heavier and harder , and maintain the frequency, I reduced the long distance bike rides ,, no more Tour du France mountain stages etc ,, and shifted to Hiit on my time trial bike mounted on my Turbo trainer,, and bands set up for swimming, this was my winter work out ,, For 20 years I’ve been doing this all year round ,, I’m in excellent physical condition,, feel like I’m 24 years old each day I get out of bed . Great advice I’m very grateful 🙏 . I can probably prove your theory works for you 🤭
Thank you si much for describing what you do to keep up your muscle strength! Will try to do more targeted exercises...and definitely go swimming. The pool is only 7 minutes drive away from here. 😊
Hi Dr. Berg, I have high level of uric acid and Doctors told me to stay away from red meat, so what should I do? Can you do a video about uric acid and how to do keto with high level of uric acid. Thank you very much
Depends what you fasting objective is? For autophagy without allowing your body to start eating muscle I would suggest three days is optimum and a maximum, going longer will affect muscle loss especially if you are not exercising.
I may get some hate for this, but I'd say the evidence shows that grass-fed red meat is actually the second-best source of protein. Eggs are the very best source of protein.
I'm no saint when it comes to my diet and exercise; but 3 times a week at the gym, walking daily at least 4 miles, 7+ hours of sleep, eat better food, and I'm in better shape now (63) than I was at 45.
I remember now arrowroot powder in dr.bergs almond bread recipe maybe that will cause yeast to rise.ive used potatoe starch in my passover angelfood cake of course thats not the same thing
im 38 years old just by luck and lifestyle , im a farmer aka strong kiwi man and im in great shape , my body still looks like it was when i was 25 i have been eating workin and sleepn well for 25 years now
They closed my gym during Covid and I stopped weight training. That’s when I got a few aches in my arms and shoulders. After returning to the gym, all the aches disappeared within a few months. Use it or lose it definitely applies.
I'm 57. I've been carnivore for 2 years. I was omad. The last few weeks I've been eating 4 times a day. Also sprinting, pushups, squats. Good to know I'm on the right track. I'm currently 141lbs eating 3600 calories a day. Prediabetic.
As I watch this, I am cooking grass fed beef for dinner. Also, I take Reuteri and Rhamnosus. I make my homemade yogurt with it and a few other probiotic strains I like. There's batch fermenting right now.
I appreciate the information you share and listen to you for years. I am vegan for nearly 4 decades and i can say that you can have muscles making sure you get enough protein. I use pure amino acids that get into my system quickly. clean product. I am 58 and often told i look much younger so its not true that a vegan cannot maintain muscle. I workout, i walk, i meditate and i make sure i tend to all the layers of my body.
I've always taken some supplements, but because of you I've added some minerals like magnesium, zinc and upped my vitamin d. I've went through this cold season with way less illnesses compared to last year and my muscle growth has been pretty good considering the amount of effort I'm putting in is around the minimum end exercise wise
I lost all my muscle and I agree with you my metabolic age is older than I am .. I don’t take ozempic or any drugs actually.. for me it was menopause.. I thought you gained weight with the change in hormones but not me .. lost weight without trying at 60 I go to Pilates for resistance and silver swans ballet for light cardio and I walk lots!! around and around lol .. I eat and love red meat but can’t eat much at a time.. I lost inches literally my clothes fall off .. I don’t like sugar but I am thinking I should eat a few cookies or maybe healthy ice cream? Is it normal to lose so much in menopause? And I just ordered the items to make the yogurt from your microbe video.. I just don’t want to waste away to nothing.. anyway thanks for everything you do !! I just don’t know why I am so skinny .. I don’t eat sugar or flour .. I guess that’s it..
I'm 64 and still strength training 3x per week. Multi joint exercises are best. Don't forget leg day🙂. I'm a light sleeper and have been getting 6.5 - 7 hours of sleep since childhood. Can that be enough? Otherwise, recovery seems to be consistent. Thanks for the tips Dr. Berg!
Made the yogurt a week ago for the first time. I eat it with 5 blackberries. I'm making the second batch with heavy cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2 to reduce tartness. How will I know I'm gaining muscle and not fat? 69 y.o. female here.
And Drs tried to convince me i had IBS despite my bringing up blood, and all my bloodtests out of kilter, and x-rays and Mri plus Endoscopy showing Hiatus Hernia and Hyperinflated lungs ( from the prolonged partial blockage..gas build up) plus Gallbladder sludge 😢 Plus an incidental finding of a benign, mediastinal paravertebral 1 inch diameter Tumor at T6...2 Neurosurgeon have said to leave it alone.....other Consultants plus multiple Physiotherapists, 2 Osteopaths, 2 Chiropracters think there could be a link to my digestive issues....I cannot sit without pain, feel the Tumor worse when lying down or driving....so I am stuck in the house mostly. Am in Ireland....small population so the Drs do not come across these type of tumors often. They don't want to know. 😢 I have all the Mri scans...x rays, blood tests that show there is something going on....but it is Ibs. I feel so alone with all this....have lost faith in most Drs. There are so many badly educated, especially on Nutrition...it is absolutely incredible how little they know. Or it's better to say how they chose to ignore the foundation of good health.
56 year old male. I’ve lifted weights consistently since I was 15. I follow a mostly carnivore diet and I also hike every week.
In bed by 9pm up by 530am.
Do this consistently and your life will improve.
I totally agree. 77 year old male on carnivore diet. Walk a mile almost every day, lift weights three times a week. Never smoked and hardly ever drink. Haven't had a cold in over 30 years, BP 112/70, last time in hospital I was being born. And ALL body parts function as intended. No jabs also.
I just retired from my multi decade desk job 4 months ago. One of my retirement goals is to get back into shape. I cannot tell you how much I’ve improved physically in such a short amount of time. I can actually sleep all night without drugs now! Let’s be honest - a desk job will kill you faster than anything if you allow it to. Healthy diet and exercise Baby! 💯 💪
@@johnbruenn8755 very happy for your improvements ！
Congrats to you! My husband just did this, he began using our Tonal religiously, finally got sufficient sleep and takes our pups on daily walks with me. He has truly aged backwards & got off blood pressure meds in just one year. He looks incredible at 52. I can’t recommend Tonal or any regular strength training and an animal based diet with organic fruits & vegetables enough. Good luck to you.
@ that is awesome!! Good for him! 👍
I am doing push-ups, age 56, started at barely doing 15, now a month or so later I can do 20 push-ups in one try.
Intermittent fasting also helps
Put this guy in the RFK health team asap!
McDonald's? Lol
Lift weights to rev up metabolism, eat enough protein to keep muscle mass, and sleep well to recover from exercise. Daily walks 5000-10000 steps for fresh air and free vitamin d:) . Good luck to all!
Great Advise..and drop kick the garbage foods (sugars/high carbs/processed foods/seed oil) to the curb.. They are destroying your health.
Public schools don't teach what is needed to stay healthy throughout the life span
Living your life around exercise seems, well, unbalanced.
It should be a facet of your life; not the focus
@@toolegittoquit_001sure, do it onec and a while, don't take it seriously and live an unhealthy life full of burdens you would not have had it you exercised, your choice.
@toolegittoquit_001 You Can't find 1hr/day to exercise, yet you probably spend 5 hours of tv & social media
Doc, your show is taking over all of TH-cam!
Friendly occupation and colonisation without apartheid😺👍
Summary Dr. Eric Berg DC shares how to build muscle in this video:
- Exercise: Resistance training and high-intensity interval training (HIIT).
- Nutrition: Eat enough high-quality protein (red meat, collagen), supplement micronutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D, zinc.
- Sleep: Get enough sleep to restore muscles.
- L. Reuteri bacteria: Supports muscle growth and reduces stress.
- Avoid: Sedentary lifestyle and unhealthy diet.
Thanks for the brief
I haven't eaten red meat for 20 years. As I approached 50 I started to work out, and had a significant muscle increase. I do eat chicken nearly every day, and started hemp seed protein about 6 months ago, which I believe has helped. I'm sure if I ate red meat I would see "more" muscle increase (I don't need more), but it is certainly not required. I'm not vegan, but I suggest people google "vegan body builders" and understand that it works for many people; perhaps not everyone.
But how much of each? There's different strengths. Thank u
@@Tara-Mayais the hemp seed protein gritty? I haven't found a nice smooth protein drink.
Checks all boxes except for sleep. Only getting 5 to 6. Still working on it.
My work is outdoors and physical. I started doing a 3 k hike with my dogs through the woods 3-4 times a week. Big difference in energy and all round wellness. I’m more limber, aches and pains have disappeared, feel stronger and at 63 I have lost the pot belly. Started eating near keto, not quite keto yet, and my weight dropped 10 lbs. I wasn’t trying to lose weight. Love Dr. Berg.
Be careful with Keto. You can lose muscle as well as fat. So hard to regain muscle at our ages. Happened to me.
A little potato, grow your own organically if possible. Well done bro.
Your lifestyle is what kept previous generations healthy. Outdoors physical work……not sitting in an office getting carpal tunnel and a pot belly…..well done
Dr Berg, I realize I’m so dedicated to your videos, I watch them whether I need them or not!😃
Donts
1. Sedentary life style
2. Stress
3. Siting laying watching tv social media
4. Less than required sleep
5. Diet junk and unhealthy
Dos
1. Move - active - mobile
2. Work out lifting dumbbells etc
3. Walk jog regularly
4. Positive mindset
5. Diet protein eggs red meat chicken fish
6. Avoid processed foods soft drinks
7. Stick to natural plant based fresh fruit juices nuts dry fruits seasonal fruits
No fruit juices or dried fruit; creates terrible blood sugar spikes
Don't agree with #7, fruit juices and dried fruit are a no- no. So much concentrated SUGAR is terrible. Fresh fruit only, in moderation, is okay. And very limited if following a ketogenic diet.
Y'all this video is one of the best videos of Dr Berg's for OLDER PEOPLE. My husband and I are early 60's and just 10 days ago, started eating this yogurt and it has SERIOUSLY changed our lives. Im sleeping so well now, that I'm almost completed restored. I'm an avid cardio exerciser and we eat grass fed beef 2X's a day, fast, HUGE fresh veggie eaters but without the yogurt, we we're only spinning our wheels. PLEASE PLEASE watch Dr Berg's video on how to make this "yogurt" I feel like I've turned back the clock on aging!!!
I'm just waiting on my thermometer then I am going to make it, can't wait!
Kelly, do you have the link to the video about the yogurt?
@@trading2prosper430 Just TH-cam it. I'm sure you will find it
Changed your lives in 10 days? I don't think so 🙄
Thank you for sharing your good experience. I had tried Organic Greek yogurt with Lactobacillus Casei, and L.bulgaricus....but it made bloating worse. Possibly a Histamine issue... I will order the L. reuteri early next week. Thank you very much again.
I’ve been eating the L. reuteri yogurt for about 3 weeks now and I feel a difference already.
So glad you are bringing up SARCOPENIA and its devastating effect on the body. This video is a MUST SAVE. It represents keystone knowledge. Thank you again.
I am grateful that you did this video! I have been teaching this for the past 6 years. Some people just don't understand because they focus on (let's call them) old teachings. We can live so much longer and healthier if we just unlearned the old teachings and learned new. Shine on Doc!!!!
"Just lift bro" sounds like meat-head advice, but it is probably the best advice out there.
This is the craziest thing ever. I was just thinking I’m going to the gym and I’m wondering how to build more muscle at 52 and up Pops Dr. Berg not even two minutes later with this awesome video.
You can do it! 63 years young and back in the gym after over 30 years. Strength, figure, attitude ~ all greatly improved! Just do it🖖🏻💪🔥😊
That's great. Hope the video will help you.
i go by the bible, GOD MADE MAN AND ANIMALS IN THE BEGINNING AND PUT MAN KIND IN THE GARDEN, NOT IN THE CATTLE FIELD. HE TOLD MAN WHAT TO EAT AND WHAT NOT TO. LETS FOLLOW DANIEL AND HIS 3 FRIENDS EXAMPLE. DAN. 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
My favorite TH-camr and doctor!
Fascinating information about the L. Reuteri. I watched the video you did with the Supergut author three times and have ordered everything I need to make the yogurt! Thank you for this invaluable information!
I also watched it. Fascinating and easy to make. I wonder if I could make it in my slow cooker instead. What do you think?
@@jadedelarge be careful with the temperature, anything over 110° will kill the L Reuteri!
Can't thank you enough and enough times here for all your teachings and inspiration and encouragement.Will resume my weight lifting today.
I'm 59 and doing more now than a decade ago👍 My sleep is terrible though - I have to go for quantity over quality. My 2nd stage of sleep , after 4 to 6am, is the most restorative. I dream more and just feel better when I get that 2nd stage. I've altered routine to doing my horse in the afternoon, so I get to sleep in and get that restorative sleep👍 I eat alot of red meat - a ribeye makes all the difference to my health x
P.S. oh! I heard you talk about protein for your horses 🤔 I decided to trymy girl on alfalfa chop (high protein/low sugar) and what a difference!!! She has more energy but is calmer and happier in herself. Thank you❤
I m 57
I look younger but sometimes I feel older..
Thank you so much !❤
Don’t feel bad I think we all have great and not so great days after 50
Hey congratulations. I just turned 57. Many people I meet guess my age in the mid to late 40's but on some days I feel old too. But I feel pretty good and high energy most days.
Dear Dr. Berg, your informative videos have helped save my mother's life and mine. I'm immensely thankful to you. Whenever your video shows up, I like it before watching. Everything they've been teaching us is wrong. From mainstream science to other people online who take advantage of this situation. You have changed my life in ways I can't even describe. Wish you all the best
I'm happy that I was able to help you and your mother. Wishing you all the best on your health journey.
Don't forget that Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) every day also helps with low stomach acid.
Is there a brand you prefer?
Any organic, unfiltered, unpasteurized ACV will work.
@@lisasummerlin3238 Just make sure its organic to avoid pesticide residue from the apples. Make sure its raw unpasteurized, undiluted, with the beneficial "mother" friendly bacteria.
TH-cam zapping my comment...mentioning Apeel on apples. Braggs is bunk. Heidi on rain country has many recipes to make your own.
🙌 Thx.
Very important information Dr. Berg. Thank you soooo much for the video.
An excellent resource for anyone looking to maintain or build muscle as they age. It combines practical advice, backed by science, with actionable tips on exercise, nutrition, and supplementation. The insights into the role of muscle in overall health and longevity are incredibly empowering, and the innovative inclusion of probiotics adds a cutting-edge dimension to the discussion. It's not just informative but also highly motivating, making complex topics easy to understand and implement. Truly a must-watch for anyone committed to healthy aging!
The commitment is a career you never retire from
I'm a 53 year old housewife with a 2 year old active Labrador, wood stove (lots of heavy lifting to handle the house's wood needs), and huge garden. My comfortable max weight to dead lift and carry is 50 lbs and I'm 110 lbs myself, LOL. I'm an avid intermittent AND longterm faster (my max water fast is 9 days and max dry fast is 3 days).
My upper body, especially, is well-defined (like it was in my 30s when I regularly lifted weights in the gym since I had a desk job). People afraid they'll lose muscle due to fasting are missing the boat. I am particularly active and my life requires "weight lifting," but still, I'm convinced that the human growth hormone (HGH) increase by fasting has done more to build muscle than fasting diminishes it.
Thank you so much for your nice post....same here regarding the dogs and the woodstove....I have lost too much weight due to severe illness though thankfully in recovery except dealing with Chemotherapy side effects since early 2018. My weight is stuck at 45 kg...I had tried to leave a minimum of four hours between meals to aid peristalsis on the gut. Due to malabsorption issues that is difficult as I am always hungry. And despite walking a lot, trying to take care of my pets (including a few goats for a little milk) can lead me to be very tired..yet I cannot sleep. I hope this L. reuteri will help me sleep better. Also the more I do, I lose the little muscle I have in my upper body very quickly....I think I have to pace myself better, not overdo things and sleep enough. Hopefully it will all improve. I am so grateful to be alive 🙏
May I ask what exercises you do for your upper body? Oh, and I am now 58 nearly 59....I was into yoga long walks with my dogs 🐕 and always active about 57 kg with a little tummy as I loved chocolate. Thank you again 😊
@@angiefallon I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with all this! Unfortunately, the uniqueness of your situation would require a holistic medicine doctor, I think, to really make good headway.
That being said, I'm doing the L. Reuteri along with my husband and 77 year old mother who had a massive stroke 9 years ago, and it's helping ALL of us (with very different bodies and medical histories) sleep a lot better. We know because suddenly we DREAM all the time! I'm sure it will impact you positively, too.
Not overdoing is essential and listening to YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS is, too. There is "no size fits all" healing regimen.
@@angiefallon I don't do "exercises," I just play tug-o-war with our powerful dog and handle lots and lots of wood, LOL!
allwithme 5115 Oh thank you very much for all your kind words! Your dear mum had a stroke too? I am so sorry she had this happen to her too. But also so glad you are taking such good care of each other! That is so important to have family, friends and community. When I was thanking Dr Berg for his in depth and amazing videos, I really meant that without his advice, and that of a few other enlightened Drs, the online community that follow Dr Berg and the recommendation by a friend of a friend to look up Dr Berg as well as a couple of other online Drs I would not be writing to you today. God is so good! I know what happened to me is complex...because of that it is not easy to get answers really. There are few Naturopaths in Ireland. And they vary in their fees from Euro 7000 to 10.000. To treat you over the course of a year...not including the price of supplements. And because of my having had Chemotherapy, one holistic practitioner nearby, who is interested in fermented foods and nutrition said straight off if I had Chemotherapy she would not want to help me as my system is damaged and nothing would work. That was a blow as you can imagine. As I have the benign mediastinal paravertebral tumor at T 6 as well, no health practitioner feels comfortable treating me. Physiotherapists will look but are afraid to do anything. One Chiropracter in Cork was great, but too far away as travel for longer that 10 to 15 minutes makes my back muscles go into spasm....And it takes 70 minutes to get to him. He also thinks the benign tumor at T6 innervates the gut/diaphragm, stomach, gallbladder and small bowel....he thinks the tumor should be removed especially as I cannot regain my weight despite eating a high amount of healthy foods. And the Chemotherapy with 2 different drugs could be the main issue...the after effects...as the Neurosurgeons I saw about the tumor think that I had the benign tumor for a very long time....and I had no gut issues until I had tge Molar pregnancy and the Chemotherapy to treat that.
And exercise brings on the muscle spasms and worsens the muscle wasting. So it's a tough one to figure out for the Physiotherapists..... I will see a very good Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner for pain control and herbs to support the gut next month hopefully....I saw her before Christmas , just waiting for new appointment. Oh yes...the tug of war game gets played here too by the way with my sweet dogs....one of them in particular loves it so much!😂And the cold spell had me bringing in plenty of wood these past few weeks...Thank you so so much for your great advice! Wishing you and your loved ones lots of great health always and enjoy your lives! Take care. Angie
I lost muscle mass going keto two meals a day. I'll try three meals a day with 30 grams of protein each meal. I'm a 67 year old male and 163 pounds. Twice a weak I go to PF. I'll change that to three times per weak. Thanks for the video!
63 yo male. I was 88kg with a pot belly, went down to 67 kg as a vegan but lost so much muscle.
Started gym and added quality protein , living healthy keto lifestyle . Now 73kg with a ripping 6 pack and feeling great. Thanks dr berg I follow you religiously
Preserving muscle mass is crucial for longevity as you age. Exercise, proper protein intake, and sleep are key. Sarcopenia, age-related muscle loss, increases health risks. L. reuteri probiotic may help increase muscle stem cells. Resistance training and a balanced diet are essential for maintaining muscle.
Treadmill incline is that a resistance I need to get on it iam 66 and can use some advice for my new treadmill and getting stronger in my body
I've had all the ingredients and the yogurt maker in my amazon cart for weeks, i need to pull the trigger!
Do it!! Do it! Today!
55 y/o male here. I work out at least 3x a week with moderate-heavy weights...intensely, not just going through the motions like I see many my age and over doing. I almost never eat anything before noon and when I do it's fresh citrus fruit/juice. I don't eat after 6 pm. The last 2 times I ate grass fed ground beef from Whole Foods and the last burger I ate from 5 Guys all gave me allergic reactions which I don't understand, so I don't eat red meat anymore. My primary foods are eggs, pine nuts, walnuts, and pecans, and organic oatmeal and buckwheat. I take a grass fed goat whey shake once a day for extra protein. For supplements I take a vegetarian superfood, 5 grams of creatine monohydrate, 4 grams of taurine, and 400 mg of magnesium lysinate glycinate twice a day within my 6 hr food window. I recently increased my creatine to 10g from 5g and my taurine from 4g to 8g and my body is growing like I'm in my 20's. I rarely get over 6 hours of sleep a night but it's very deep, restful sleep. When I wake up, usually between 5-7am, I am UP and ready to go. No grogginess at all. Maybe I'm an alien or a freak of nature I don't know, but this all works for me.
My point with this is, although I watch practically every video Dr Berg makes and have had many great benefits from doing so, everyone is different. Things that work for a lot of other people just do not work for me. You have to tune into your body and pay attention to the language it speaks to your mentality instead of just deciding that something is good for you because everyone else does it. Your body knows what's best for it. Learn to listen to and follow its lead. It won't let you down! And, thank you Dr Berg for so many great videos over the years. You have been very helpful in my journey. ✌👍 🤟
"Your body knows what's best for it. Learn to listen to and follow its lead. It won't let you down! "
^^^^^ this
I eat mostly keto foods, but not on a keto diet, I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years. Some non-keto foods are fine with me in moderation.
5 guys 🍔 have other ingredients. Plus the bun & sauces aren’t the best. Have you tried straight GFGF beef from a farmer?
@@nevastrong2850 I haven't yet, but I will. Thank you!
apparently U NEED TO ADD ENZYMES & BETAINE to process red meat properly . Do control portions ! U Should not!!! exceed 3 oz @ a time
The first thing you lose when starving is muscle ,not fat. I noticed years ago taking a 2 week break from cycling is enough to notice a difference and that was nearly 30 years ago, it gets worse as you get older.
Last year I changed my exercise schedule due to additional travel. Didn’t do yoga or weights. My arms went from strong to spaghetti arms. Mid-50s…I’m starting over with arms & it takes longer.
Past the ketosis state, I guess that is what you mean by starving
I've been doing l. Reuteri since you first talked about it, It's helping, I'm working out again!!
Hi
I am 57.5 years of age and have a body of a 30 something.
High protein, low carb plus lifting weights absolutely works for me.
Thanks as always for the videos.

Great content,concise and informative.I am grateful your wonderful advised
Such an amazing topic.Thankful DrBerg. It's so important to know
You are most welcome. Glad the information is helpful. Thanks for watching!
55 and consume 250 grams of protein per day, strenuous activity at least 6 hours a day. Have more muscle mass than my when in my 20’s
What about Testosteton level ?
How can you consume such a high amount and what foods you recommend to increase protein intake? Been having a hard time gaining muscle mass
6 hrs of strenuous activity day??! 😂 no chance.
@@madwolfdrawing oatmeal , meat , milk ,eggs cheese and " Bfit high protein milkshakes @ 34gs each get you close to that number .

Thank you for your continued support. Wishing you all the best on your health journey.
Thank God living without a Spleen for 8 years and walking two to three miles everyday ,eating my Native Greek Diet I feel like a Teenager .Although my sleep is a little problematic ,yet I work on that .Been 76 I'm grateful .
I'm 62 year old man, I have weight trained all of my life. I currently bench press 350 lbs in my 40s I benched 550 lbs. I'm 6'2" and I weigh 205 lbs with a 33 inch waist. I lift weights 3 days a week to keep in shape. I am very healthy, I don't take any medications ever. I eat 200 grams of protein per day to keep up my muscle mass. I have always told people that muscle mass is the true fountain of youth. I also work full time doing my day job which is nuclear physics in which I hold a PhD in from UCLA. I find that my brain appears to be getting smarter and functioning better as I age. I also ride my 200 Horse Power super bike over 100 miles per day on my daily freeway commute out here on the mean streets of California. Stay strong and stay healthy! 😊
I love Dr. Berg and so happy for his channel, however it can be overwhelming bcuz the truth is following a healthy life style is a career and you cannot take off your focus or lax in discipline for the rest of your life. Im not new to this lifestyle it just gets harder with age. "to me". Planning keto meals shopping keto..avoiding gatherings indulged with carbohydrates. Exercise regimes , shopping for the best supplements and grass fed chickens, organic everything you can afford and its expensive! Avoiding the pitfalls in our environment bcuz its design to be unhealthy and poison food is cheaper. Its a career. ❤
Sooo true
Yes it does cost to eat well I'm afraid to eat ckn becuz of all the bird flu stuff
I buy grass fed ground beef and done eat meat daily
To eat healthy I meant ..
But iam afraid to buy meats becuz of all they say abt what there doing to our foods and not being sanitary or keeping animals healthy what do u think on this Dr. Berg.???
My husband and I must start doing more of this! I
hope it’s not too late. I need more info on the protein!
I never thought about growing mussels. I’m just not really that big into seafood.
😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you for speaking so clearly and directly. Your concise delivery of this information really does make it easy to understand. Kudos on your well-deserved success!
I've lost at least 2 stone weight over the past year without medication and without losing muscle at the age of 51.
Gives hope to us over 50s that need to get our act together. 👍👍👍
Well done
I’m a 50 year old man…I feel my muscles haven’t changed since I was late teens…always active and work a physical job has helped 👍
I have a desk job but I lift weights while I'm working, I also get out of the house and walk during my breaks and lunch and after work. I do not let my desk job keep me from moving.
I think you are in my head. I was just wanting this information!
I've just started taking taurine before bed, works better than most other things I've tried and is good for many other things. I've been able to sleep 8 or 9 hours straight.
Even though he's clearly not the biggest fan of creatine (he pretty much never talks about it), considering how much it's praised for this (and other) particular issue, he could talk about it some, simply because a lot of viewers value his opinion and are curious.
Please dr. Burg . Talk about dental fillings and the material that are used to make these fillings .
And if they affect our bodies or not.
Please talk about this topic
That why I bought dumbbells that is easy to access (16 kg - 20 kg)....even when I feel lazy I just pick it up and walk with it for a few minutes, making curls on both sides...it makes a big difference!
Explore both compound and asymmetrical movements.
I take long lasting Insulin and lift weights when able. The muscle mass and strength is amazing for my age.
Why do you take insulin?

Very valuable and encouraging information! Thank you Dr Berg!
Video editing suggestion:
This topic is targeted at folks over 50. But most of the exercise-visuals are of younger people who are quite athletic & buff. In addition, they are doing strenuous feats that are outside of the exercise parameters for many seniors, particularly those that have been sedentary for a long time. Folks over 50 years can make enormous health gains beginning with very modest strength-training regimens, and then build from there. In future videos please include footage of seniors exercising in this more modest range so those that watch will be more likely to embrace the important message you are sharing.
I appreciate you more each video Dr Berg! I share your videos because your easy going, truthful manner is just what we need. Happy weekend to everyone🌅
I am running my farm by myself since my husband had a heart attack over a year ago. I am lifting 50lb bags of feed, stacking hay, feeding hay. We heat with wood, so I am stacking, cutting, and splitting wood. My husband sits in his chair all day. He has lost a lot of weight. He is less than 110lbs. In order to get him out of his chair I have asked him to feed the chickens in the evening. I just have to make sure I fill the feed barrel when it gets low because he can't lift 50lbs anymore. I do my best to get him to eat more meat, but he believes the doctors. 😕
Give him some chores during the day as well, so he gets some natural vitamin d/sunshine
@@jm47889 What would you suggest? He can't lift a bale of hay, it would be dangerous for him to go in with the goats because he is on blood thinners. My farm involves more hill than flat ground. The chickens are safe for him, that's why I got him to do them. Sometimes he will go for a short walk up the driveway, but that's it.
Does Leuteri have the same beneficial effect if taken as a supplement in tablet form?
I'm 58 years old. 5' 10" , 173 pounds. I can bench press 175 lbs 10 x.
I get super excited when I see you posted a new content. Thanks Dr.Berg❤
You and your videos are so inspiring Dr. Berg!
So kind of you as this is🌹 a new year gift for old people. I being from the same i will try what you are advising us. Be blessed🙏🌹
Thank you! Ive been wondering why i feel so out if it around 3:30 -4:30 until i eat supper at 5:30. My lunch is only leafy greens and cabbage. I will adjust my lunch to add an egg to give me protein at lunch.
Hi Dr Berg apart from following your excellent channel,,,Thanks,, I’m 59, ex 400m runner and followed with Olympic distance Tri , plus natural weightlifting,, these days I’m doing Hiit 4 x a week ,weights and bands ,, , long walks,,hi protein athletic diet, no processed food ,and fast 20.00-11.00 , my muscle loss is not noticeable,, I have hardly changed since I was 28 years old . Around 42 , I noticed I needed to go heavier and harder , and maintain the frequency, I reduced the long distance bike rides ,, no more Tour du France mountain stages etc ,, and shifted to Hiit on my time trial bike mounted on my Turbo trainer,, and bands set up for swimming, this was my winter work out ,, For 20 years I’ve been doing this all year round ,, I’m in excellent physical condition,, feel like I’m 24 years old each day I get out of bed . Great advice I’m very grateful 🙏 . I can probably prove your theory works for you 🤭
Thank you si much for describing what you do to keep up your muscle strength! Will try to do more targeted exercises...and definitely go swimming. The pool is only 7 minutes drive away from here. 😊
I need this 😢😢😢am 45 lost lots of weight last year due to am illness i need to build muscles and gain weight...😢😢
Good luck mate.
All the best for you ❤ You will get it!
The best exercise is the one you do frequently.

Hello Rick, thanks for the suggestion. Have you seen this one? 👉 th-cam.com/video/3QePHCO8T8Q/w-d-xo.html
Hi Dr. Berg, I have high level of uric acid and Doctors told me to stay away from red meat, so what should I do?
Can you do a video about uric acid and how to do keto with high level of uric acid.
Thank you very much
Hi Dr Berg- I deeply appreciate your advice and information. ❤❤❤
A very timely video sir..I'm 62 yrs, currently doing a 3 day water fast
Will prolonged fasting cause damaging muscle loss?
Depends what you fasting objective is? For autophagy without allowing your body to start eating muscle I would suggest three days is optimum and a maximum, going longer will affect muscle loss especially if you are not exercising.
Yea you’re gonna lose ALL your muscle in 3 days
@@thegreat9481 That is simply not true, clearly you do not fast.
@@SpamMouse You should study sarcasm….
Berg getting jacked to fit in with the "caloric deficit" crowd 😂
I may get some hate for this, but I'd say the evidence shows that grass-fed red meat is actually the second-best source of protein. Eggs are the very best source of protein.
I'm no saint when it comes to my diet and exercise; but 3 times a week at the gym, walking daily at least 4 miles, 7+ hours of sleep, eat better food, and I'm in better shape now (63) than I was at 45.
Anyone remember Charles Atlas....resistance traing program in the back of magazine
Is it possible to increase or at least maintain muscle mass while doing intermittent fasting after 50?
I remember now arrowroot powder in dr.bergs almond bread recipe maybe that will cause yeast to rise.ive used potatoe starch in my passover angelfood cake of course thats not the same thing
im 38 years old just by luck and lifestyle , im a farmer aka strong kiwi man and im in great shape , my body still looks like it was when i was 25
i have been eating workin and sleepn well for 25 years now
1) increase your body mass
2) strength training
3) diet
4) collagen supplement
5) l returi
Thank you Dr.BERG
Thank you for the advice! Thank you always!
They closed my gym during Covid and I stopped weight training. That’s when I got a few aches in my arms and shoulders. After returning to the gym, all the aches disappeared within a few months. Use it or lose it definitely applies.
I'm 57. I've been carnivore for 2 years. I was omad. The last few weeks I've been eating 4 times a day. Also sprinting, pushups, squats. Good to know I'm on the right track. I'm currently 141lbs eating 3600 calories a day. Prediabetic.
That's a lot of calories
People always want a quick fix to a long term problem.
How can yeast rise without sugar.i really truly would like to know
As I watch this, I am cooking grass fed beef for dinner.
Also, I take Reuteri and Rhamnosus. I make my homemade yogurt with it and a few other probiotic strains I like. There's batch fermenting right now.
I'm in my 60s and wish I had known all this when I was in my 20s... But it is never too late to start.
I appreciate the information you share and listen to you for years. I am vegan for nearly 4 decades and i can say that you can have muscles making sure you get enough protein. I use pure amino acids that get into my system quickly. clean product. I am 58 and often told i look much younger so its not true that a vegan cannot maintain muscle. I workout, i walk, i meditate and i make sure i tend to all the layers of my body.
That's great, thanks for sharing!
Thank U for 'stressing', sleep. And 'the stuff' must B working. It shows in ur face. U look better & healthier.👍🙏💪
Very good information! ❤❤❤
Absolutely. I'm 21,302 days old. Take zero "meds". Weightlifters die of clogged arteries daily. You need aerobic activity.
Isn't red meat conducive to prostatic cancer?
I've always taken some supplements, but because of you I've added some minerals like magnesium, zinc and upped my vitamin d. I've went through this cold season with way less illnesses compared to last year and my muscle growth has been pretty good considering the amount of effort I'm putting in is around the minimum end exercise wise
I lost all my muscle and I agree with you my metabolic age is older than I am .. I don’t take ozempic or any drugs actually.. for me it was menopause.. I thought you gained weight with the change in hormones but not me .. lost weight without trying at 60 I go to Pilates for resistance and silver swans ballet for light cardio and I walk lots!! around and around lol .. I eat and love red meat but can’t eat much at a time.. I lost inches literally my clothes fall off .. I don’t like sugar but I am thinking I should eat a few cookies or maybe healthy ice cream? Is it normal to lose so much in menopause? And I just ordered the items to make the yogurt from your microbe video.. I just don’t want to waste away to nothing.. anyway thanks for everything you do !! I just don’t know why I am so skinny .. I don’t eat sugar or flour .. I guess that’s it..
So
Old people shouldn’t do 1 meal per day intermittent fasting? ? 3 meals per day for old people ?
Yes, change of viewpoint isn't it. Unless he means just for people who are not overweight, or once you've loss high amount of fat?
OMAD is fine if you get enough protein.
Another important thing to look at that i think ties in with muscle loss is Testosterone depletion.
Great point! Testosterone levels have been decreasing over the decades in the general male population.
I'm 64 and still strength training 3x per week. Multi joint exercises are best. Don't forget leg day🙂. I'm a light sleeper and have been getting 6.5 - 7 hours of sleep since childhood. Can that be enough? Otherwise, recovery seems to be consistent. Thanks for the tips Dr. Berg!
thank you for the advice doctor
Most welcome! Always glad to be of help!
Made the yogurt a week ago for the first time. I eat it with 5 blackberries. I'm making the second batch with heavy cream instead of 1/2 and 1/2 to reduce tartness. How will I know I'm gaining muscle and not fat? 69 y.o. female here.
And Drs tried to convince me i had IBS despite my bringing up blood, and all my bloodtests out of kilter, and x-rays and Mri plus Endoscopy showing Hiatus Hernia and Hyperinflated lungs ( from the prolonged partial blockage..gas build up) plus Gallbladder sludge 😢
Plus an incidental finding of a benign, mediastinal paravertebral 1 inch diameter Tumor at T6...2 Neurosurgeon have said to leave it alone.....other Consultants plus multiple Physiotherapists, 2 Osteopaths, 2 Chiropracters think there could be a link to my digestive issues....I cannot sit without pain, feel the Tumor worse when lying down or driving....so I am stuck in the house mostly. Am in Ireland....small population so the Drs do not come across these type of tumors often. They don't want to know. 😢
I have all the Mri scans...x rays, blood tests that show there is something going on....but it is Ibs. I feel so alone with all this....have lost faith in most Drs. There are so many badly educated, especially on Nutrition...it is absolutely incredible how little they know. Or it's better to say how they chose to ignore the foundation of good health.
A dose of Dr. Berg before bedtime 😀😴🇦🇺
I needed this. Thank you Dr.
I'm now over 50 now and I grew these muscles.
