In this short video, the speaker explains that aging brings increased insulin resistance and anabolic (leucine) resistance, meaning older adults need higher amounts of leucine and protein to trigger muscle protein synthesis. The speaker emphasizes the crucial, yet often overlooked, role of androgens—particularly testosterone—in women, highlighting its benefits for preserving bone mineral density, supporting libido and drive, and maintaining muscle mass.

As we get older, we have more insulin resistance and we also have more what's known as anabolic or leucine resistance. It just takes more and more leucine and protein to turn this on. Also, I think important to that is that androgens, most particularly is testosterone. This is very important for women too. It's very underappreciated for women. Protects bone mineral density for women. Yes, it does have an effect on libido and drive, but certainly on maintaining muscle mass.
