68. Muscle and Aging: What It Means For Your Client

Have you ever learned what happens to muscle as it ages?  

How many young clients do you work with?

If you are like me, not many.

Chances are, your clients are over 35 years of age.  Even more likely, over 50.   How about over 50 with different medical conditions.

 

If you serve this population, then this episode is for you.  

 

You will learn some aging factors that will matter, and the mechanisms behind them.  

Below are all the references I used in preparing for this episode.  

I highly recommend reading the reviews.  They are free and full of helpful ideas.  Think of how this info can be applied in real time to create critical solutions for people that desperately need help controlling their body and preserving their muscle.
