  Why You Lose Muscle on a GLP-1 (and How to Stop It)

  Sep 15, 202620 minS1

  Here's what almost no one tells you when you start a GLP-1 medication, or any fast weight-loss journey: a real share of the weight you lose is not fat. It is muscle, and losing too much of it can quietly undo much of what you were hoping to gain. In this solo episode, Anita Broellochs breaks down exactly why it happens, why it matters more than most people realize, and what to actually do about it. You will learn: • The real reasons muscle comes off during weight loss, stacked together • The surprising "your lighter body thinks it needs less muscle" effect • Why muscle loss threatens your strength, your metabolism, and the dreaded regain trap • The two simple levers, protein and resistance training, that protect your muscle while you lose the fat • Why you should track your strength, not just the scale This podcast is for education only, not medical advice. Medication decisions are always between you and your doctor.

  Ian White | Founder Health as an Investment Strategy

  Aug 17, 202629 minS1

  What if founder health were treated as part of an investment strategy? Ian White is an angel investor and personal trainer with an unusual approach to supporting the founders he invests in: he offers them complimentary personal training twice a week. His thesis is simple: healthy founders can build healthier, more resilient companies. In this episode of the Muscle Longevity Podcast, Ian and Anita Broellochs explore what it could look like to make founder health a bigger part of venture capital and startup culture. They talk about why he sees health as a form of risk management, what he has learned from training founders, and why the startup world may need to rethink its relationship with burnout. They also discuss: Why Ian started training the founders he invests in Founder health as a potential investment and risk-management strategy Strength training and exercise for busy founders Why strength becomes increasingly important as we age Wearables, health tracking, and when too much data can become counterproductive Physical activity, coordination, and cognitive health Using data and AI to personalize training around work demands Ian’s vision for performance labs designed for founders and executives The habits Ian personally prioritizes for his health and longevity Could investing in the health of founders ultimately be another way of investing in the health of their companies?

  Dr. Scott Forbes | Creatine for Healthy Aging: What the Science Really Says

  Jul 28, 202637 minS1

  Creatine is one of the most researched supplements in the world, yet it's still surrounded by myths. Is it only for bodybuilders? Does it cause hair loss? Is it safe? And can it actually help us stay stronger as we age? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Forbes, Professor in the Department of Physical Education Studies at Brandon University, to separate the evidence from the hype. We discuss what creatine does in the body, why it works best alongside resistance training, and what the research shows for muscle, bone, and brain health. We also cover creatine during healthy aging, common misconceptions, practical dosing, timing, creatine monohydrate, whether vegetarians and vegans may benefit differently, and the emerging research around GLP-1 medications and weight loss. Whether you're already taking creatine or simply wondering if it's worth considering, this episode provides an evidence-based overview of what we know today—and where more research is still needed. In this episode, we cover: • What creatine is and how it works • Creatine for muscle, bone, and brain health • The role of creatine in healthy aging • Resistance training and why it matters most • Hair loss, kidney health, and other common myths • Creatine monohydrate, dosing, timing, and loading • Vegetarians, vegans, women, and older adults • Creatine and GLP-1 medications • Where the science is headed next

  Dr. Michael Fredericson | The Science of Healthy Aging: Muscle, Bone & Lifestyle Medicine

  Jul 14, 202640 minS1

  Muscle health has become one of the biggest topics in longevity, but what does the science actually tell us about staying strong, mobile, and independent as we age? In this episode of the Muscle Longevity Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Michael Fredericson , Professor and Director of PM&R Sports Medicine at Stanford University, Founder of the Stanford Lifestyle Medicine Program, and Co-Director of the Stanford Center on Longevity. Drawing on decades of experience caring for everyone from Olympic athletes to older adults, Michael explains why muscle is much more than a tissue that helps us move. We discuss how skeletal muscle functions as an endocrine organ, why muscle and bone health are deeply connected, and what role exercise, nutrition, recovery, and lifestyle medicine play in extending both healthspan and lifespan. We also explore the importance of protein as we age, why balance and mobility deserve more attention, how early life habits influence long-term health, and what his research has taught us about preventing bone stress injuries and preserving physical resilience. Whether you're in your 30s looking to invest in your future health or simply want to stay active and independent for as long as possible, this conversation is packed with practical, evidence-based insights. In this episode, you'll learn: Why muscle health is fundamental to healthy aging and longevity How muscles communicate with the rest of the body through myokines The connection between muscle, bone, and long-term resilience How much protein adults should aim for as they age Why balance, mobility, and recovery are often overlooked The role of lifestyle medicine in preventing chronic disease What elite athletes can teach us about healthy aging Simple habits you can start today to support lifelong strength and independence Links: Teen Lifestyle Medicine: https://www.teenlifestylemedicine.com/
