Do our muscles automatically get weaker as we age? Is it just a fact of life that we’ll become slow and wimpy over time? What magical supplements are available that can make us a decade younger?
Welcome to the latest episode of the Catalyst Health, Wellness and Performance Coaching Podcast. Today’s guest is Dr. Vita Sonyak. She has done some fascinating research on aging muscle and the differences between “typical” aging adults and “masters athletes” of the same age. The results of her research drive home the point you already understand – movement matters. But sometimes it’s nice to pull back the curtain on what’s really happening beneath the surface and we’ll do exactly that in this episode.
