GLP-1, Aging and Sarcopenia (Sarco what?)

Loss of muscle mass or sarcopenia occurs with both aging and rapid weight loss with the use of GLP-1 medications or other weight loss methods. Sarcopenia is a decrease in the actual number of muscle fibers which can lead to weakness, a decrease in basal metabolic rate and difficulties with gaining strength. In this episode, Brian and Nora discuss strategies for minimizing sarcopenia through regular exercise and patience. There is no magic bullet here but staying consistent and continuing to progress a client’s exercise program is key to combating this challenging side effect!Moving Conversation Socials Post Rehab Summit:https://thefirmbodypilates.com/post-rehab-summit/ Brian’s Book on Low Back Pain and Conditions: Back Exercise; Stabilize, Mobilize and Reduce Pain https://a.co/d/8IUb7L6  Youtube: www.youtube.com/@brianrichey  Email: [email protected] IG: @movingconvos FB: Moving Conversations  Brian IG: @fit4lifedc FB: https://www.facebook.com/brianrichey/   Nora IG: nora.s.john.7 FB: https://www.facebook.com/nora.s.john.7
