Trevor interviews dietician Shelly Wegman to discuss how tailored nutrition sustains energy, mobility, and mental clarity as metabolic needs evolve. Wegman highlights the importance of countering age-related muscle loss by evenly distributing protein and high-quality carbohydrates throughout the day, avoiding late-day calorie spikes, and working with professionals when utilizing GLP-1 medications or supplements.
