Build Muscle After 30: The Daily Carrying We Stopped Doing | Dr. Thomas Hemingway
Losing muscle as you age gets treated as something that just happens to everybody. Dr. Thomas Hemingway calls that a big miss of Western medicine, and says the loss is common without being inevitable. He is a board certified physician who helps people become biologically 10 to 20 years younger, and he says he wants to still be surfing at 100. I asked him what keeps a body capable rather than just alive: why he calls muscle the organ of longevity, what a large metabolism study actually found about slowing down after 30, and why 10 minutes of walking after each meal may beat one longer walk. He also makes the case for community as the longevity factor the blue zones conversation underplays.
