“Long-term population research has identified age-independent declines in testosterone in some male cohorts, supporting the view that changes in men's hormonal health can involve more than aging alone. BPA and phthalates can interact with hormone-related biological pathways.”

“A meta-analysis showed that men and women achieved similar increases in muscle with resistance training, despite men having higher testosterone levels. While daily fluctuations in testosterone do not drive muscle protein synthesis, supraphysiological steroid doses are anabolic.”

“Aging biology differs greatly between men and women, with women coming out ahead: On average, women live about three years longer than men. Although a variety of factors likely influence this difference in aging rates, telomere length stands out as a critical factor.”

“Building muscle mass in one's early years is essential for staving off the age-related loss of muscle mass and may promote longevity. In this Aliquot, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses the importance of building muscle through resistance training and why starting early is important.”

“People start to lose muscle mass in their late thirties or forties at a rate of roughly 1 percent per year, translating to a 1 to 3 percent loss in strength or power. Doing what we can to slow muscle loss as we age may improve quality of life.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses urolithin A, postmenopausal protein, microplastics, high-temperature saunas, sugar intake, and supplements for Parkinson's disease.

“However, in excess these hormones may be drivers of certain cancers. In this clip, Dr. Stuart Phillips discusses how growth hormone promotes collagen synthesis and how this might relate to muscle strength.”

“Having sufficient muscle mass markedly reduces a person's risk of dying prematurely, and actively challenging those muscles, through regular physical activity and exercise, may extend a person's life several years.”

“Beyond its role in sexual development, testosterone is important for overall health, influencing mood, energy levels, and even cognitive function. Testosterone is also a highly contested topic, especially in the context of resistance exercise, lifestyle, and managing low testosterone.”

“Engaging in resistance exercise for bone health takes on greater significance as we age, as bone mass decreases markedly, especially in women, who comprise nearly 80 percent of all osteoporosis cases.”
