Longevity On The Mind...Specifically Sarcopenia

Good morning…

Longevity is on my mind all the time in 2023…not just luxury and degeneracy.

I am turning 58 in September and since I have been lucky and fortunate and maybe even smart enough to have a happy and healthy family that does not worry about financial things that I can care about longevity.

I am not looking for quick solutions because I don’t trust them.

I ride and train like a silly person but it is diet and weight training that I must take more seriously if I am going to make a dent in longevity.

I have to integrate these two new workflows/habits into my life immediately.

I am not interested in crazy fasts and diets, though most of the time these days I fast from 8 pm until noon.

I was reading this piece from Dr. Howard Luks on Muscle Mass and Longevity and he talks about sarcopenia which is a fancy word for age-realted loss of muscle mass. I am now following him on Twitter. Another genius named Howard!

I have been off and on training to battle sarcopenia the last eight months but I am going to get more serious about this ASAP.

Have a great day.

PS - I had Joe the CEO of 1 Up Health on my podcast a few weerks ago and over the last 20 minutes we talked longevity. Joe is 60 years old and in sick shape and is a student of all this and shared a lot of wisdom as he ultramarathons around the country and world.
