Healthy adults can lose up to 8% of muscle mass every decade after the age of 30. While age-related muscle loss is a natural phenomenon, it can be influenced by many factors including lifestyle choices like nutrition and exercise. In this webinar, Dr Kendall-Reed will review several pathways that contribute to age-related muscle loss, the genetics that govern those pathways and how to support healthy muscle mass throughout life with evidence-based supplements and lifestyle changes. Illustrative case studies will be presented.
Learning Objectives:
- Review the physiological mechanisms that contribute to age-related muscle loss, including mitochondrial function, immune activity and hormone balance.
- Discover which genetic polymorphisms (SNPs) govern those pathways and how they can affect age-related muscle loss.
- Learn how to address these underlying factors and SNPs through lifestyle changes and targeted supplements to support healthy muscle mass
