💪 Fight Muscle Loss as You Age — It’s Not Inevitable!

I was recently quoted in Women's Health discussing actionable ways to prevent age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia) based on a comprehensive analysis of 96 studies. The takeaway? Maintaining muscle strength and function doesn’t happen by accident — it requires a multi-factor approach.

✔️ Strength training: Essential for building and keeping muscle
✔️ Balance exercises: Improve performance and prevent falls
✔️ Adequate protein intake: Supports muscle repair and growth

As I shared in the article, “It’s important to be comprehensive.” Strength alone isn’t enough — pairing it with balance work and proper nutrition is what truly moves the needle for long-term health.

👉 Whether you’re in your 30s or your 70s, it’s never too late to begin building strength and resilience. Let’s keep moving and stay strong at every age!

☀️🦴 Soak Up the Strength: Sunshine and Bone Health

As an orthopedic surgeon, I spend my days focused on bones — their strength, resilience, and ability to support everything we do. One of the most powerful tools for maintaining healthy bones is also one of the most natural and often overlooked: sunshine.

Sun exposure triggers the production of Vitamin D3, a hormone essential for bone health. When UVB rays hit the skin, they initiate a process that allows Vitamin D to act as a gatekeeper for calcium absorption, the key building block of strong bones.

The best part?
This complex biological process can begin with just a few minutes of sunlight.

In a world full of supplements and solutions, sometimes the simplest ones are already shining right above us.

☀️ Strong bones start with smart habits — including safe, regular sun exposure.

💡 Want to Live Longer & Feel Better? Don’t Just Exercise — Diversify Your Movement!

I was recently interviewed by Medical News Today about a long-term study tracking over 110,000 adults found that people who regularly participate in many types of physical activity — not just one — see greater longevity benefits.

Whether it’s a brisk walk, resistance training, yoga, swimming, or even gardening, your body thrives when it moves in different ways. 🌿

🔹 Why it matters: Variety helps improve cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and balance — all key factors in aging well.
🔹 Tip: Pick activities you enjoy — that’s the best way to stay consistent!

Let movement be your medicine. 🏃‍♂️🚴‍♀️🧘‍♀️

🧬 Just 5 More Minutes Can Make a Difference!

Did you catch this in Medical News Today? 📰 A recent study shows that adding just 5 extra minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day may reduce mortality rates—especially in less active adults.

👨‍⚕️ I explain why even small increases in movement help “turn on the appropriate switches” in our bodies and expand our healthspan and lifespan — what I call “playspan.”

✨ Movement really is medicine. Every minute counts.
