Strength at Every Age

In this episode I’m talking with chiropractic physician and author, Dr. Michael Guadagnino,  about building strength and reducing pain at every age without unnecessary drugs or surgery. We’re discussing common misconceptions about aging and fitness—especially feeling it’s too late to start— comparing yourself only to yourself, setting written goals, and reverse-engineering small daily steps. Dr. Guadagnino explains sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss), the role of resistance training in maintaining muscle and bone health (including Wolff’s law), and how free weights and proprioception work can improve balance and reduce fall risk. We’re also covering nutrition, sleep and recovery, CoQ10 and mitochondrial energy, and adapting movement for injuries or chronic illness, ending with his advice to “never settle.”You can learn more about Dr. Guadagnino with the links below:Michael Guadagnino's Websitehttps://drguad.wpcomstaging.com/fitness-over-50-60-70-and-beyond/⏱️⩇⩇:⩇⩇ Time Markers00:00 Welcome and Theme01:32 Meet Dr Michael05:17 Mindset to Start07:19 Write Goals Down10:26 Restarting After Break12:24 Sarcopenia Explained17:26 Stop Muscle Loss19:08 Training Frequency Plan21:36 Mobility and Balance22:45 Nutrition for Strength26:50 Movement Beats Pain30:29 Inspiring Patient Story32:23 Never Settle Advice34:43 Book and Wrap Up📚📖Books Mentioned59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a LotThe Power of Writing It Down: A Simple Habit to Unlock Your Brain and Reimagine Your LifeSend us Fan Mail🌟 🌟 🌟 If you liked this episode and would like to learn more about wellness training and workshops offered by 9 to 5 Wellness, email us at [email protected].
