🚶‍♂️ WALK MORE, LIVE BETTER 🚶‍♀️

Is 10,000 steps a day really the magic number? New research says… not exactly. But walking does matter—a lot.

A recent study in The Lancet Public Health found that going from 2,000 to 7,000 steps per day offers the biggest health boost—dramatically reducing your risk for heart disease, diabetes, and even cognitive decline. And while 10,000 steps still brings additional benefits, the most important gains come earlier than you might think.

✅ 2,000–7,000 steps = massive health improvements
✅ 7,000–10,000 steps = extra gains for weight, mood, and heart
✅ 10,000–15,000+ steps = added perks for brain health & metabolism
✅ No downside to more—only upside if you can do it!

👣 Whether you're just starting or already logging miles, walking is one of the simplest, safest, and most effective ways to support your health. It improves blood sugar, lowers inflammation, boosts your brain, and keeps your joints strong.

Pro tip: Try a 10-minute walk after meals for better blood sugar control and digestion!

Remember, it's not about hitting a perfect number—it's about building habits that keep you strong for life.

🎉 Congratulations to our August Patient of the Month – Jesus S.!

Jesus has been putting in the work during his treatment for back pain, and it shows! His commitment to his recovery—both in the clinic and at home—has been nothing short of impressive. 💪

💊 Ozempic, Wegovy & Muscle Loss: What You Really Need to Know 💪

A new study presented at ENDO 2025 reveals a serious downside to semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy): while it’s highly effective at reducing body fat, up to 40% of the weight lost may come from lean muscle—especially in women and adults over 65.

⚠️ Why does this matter? Muscle isn’t just about strength or looks. It’s your metabolic engine:
✅ Regulates blood sugar
✅ Supports your immune system
✅ Protects against injury and frailty
✅ Promotes healthy aging

Without resistance training and enough protein, semaglutide users may experience declines in strength, mobility, and metabolic health—which can undermine the long-term benefits of weight loss.

🔍 Want to support GLP-1 naturally, without the side effects? Here are 2 research-backed options:

🧬 Butyrate
→ A fatty acid made by gut bacteria digesting fiber
→ Helps boost GLP-1 & improve insulin sensitivity
→ Get more by eating oats, resistant starch (cooled potatoes, green bananas), and fermented foods like kimchi
→ Supplement with bioavailable forms that reach the colon

🌿 Curcumin
→ The active compound in turmeric
→ Shown to increase GLP-1, reduce inflammation, and support blood sugar regulation
→ Turmeric alone isn’t enough—choose a bioavailable curcumin supplement

✅ Here’s what to focus on for safe, sustainable weight loss:
🍗 Prioritize protein (.8-1g/lb ideal body weight daily)
🏋️‍♂️ Strength train 2–3x/week
🥦 Feed your gut with fermentable fiber for GLP-1 support

Semaglutide can be helpful—but protecting your muscle, metabolism, and longevity matters more. Diet and lifestyle changes may offer a safer, smarter path.

🚶‍♀️Move More, Live Longer 🏃‍♂️

A massive new study just confirmed what we’ve always believed at STRONGLIFE: consistent physical activity is one of the most powerful tools for living a longer, healthier life.

Researchers looked at data from over 85 studies and found that people who stay active had:
✅ Up to 40% lower risk of death from any cause
✅ 30–40% lower risk of dying from heart disease
✅ Even starting later in life gave a 20–25% boost in longevity compared to staying sedentary!

The biggest impact? Just meeting—or getting close to—the recommended weekly movement goals.
💡 And get this: activity during leisure time (like walking, biking, or gardening) was even more beneficial than physical work.

From a functional medicine lens, movement isn’t just about adding years to your life—it’s about adding life to your years.

💬 Our advice: Don’t stress over the “perfect” workout. Just find something you enjoy and can do regularly. Dance, hike, stretch, play… it all counts!

Tag a friend who needs a reminder that it’s never too late to start moving! 🙌
