    2024/11/12
    We dive into the important topic of healthspan vs. lifespan and share some laughter along the way. We talk about how one simple thing—strength training—can drastically improve the quality of our years on this planet. Remember our aging episode with Dr. Snyder? We chat about healthspan, the key to living longer and healthier, and introduce the term sarcopenia, the gradual loss of muscle mass. Highlighting a super cool study from the British Medical Journal, we discover that heavy resistance training can keep us strong even into our later years! We share practical tips and anecdotes to help you get started with strength training, no matter your age. Whether you're an Olympic lifter or just getting off the couch, there's something here for everyone. Join us, have a laugh, and let's start lifting those weights together!
