The Science of Sarcopenia: How Muscle Mass Predicts Healthy Aging

In this enlightening conversation, Bionic Health's Dr. Jared Pelo sits down with Dr. William Evans, Professor of Human Nutrition at UC Berkeley and pioneering researcher in the field of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).


What You'll Learn:

  • Why muscle mass might be the most important predictor of healthy aging
  • The revolutionary D3 creatine dilution method that accurately measures functional muscle mass
  • How much muscle is needed to maintain mobility as we age
  • The strong connection between muscle mass and cognitive function
  • Practical strategies to maintain and build muscle at any age


Dr. Evans shares groundbreaking research showing that muscle is truly "the currency of aging," affecting everything from mobility and fall risk to cognitive function and insulin sensitivity. Discover why resistance training is effective even for 90-year-olds and why adequate protein intake becomes increasingly important as we age.


This conversation offers valuable insights for anyone looking to optimize their health through evidence-based approaches to muscle maintenance - a key factor in Bionic Health's mission to enable optimal health for all.
