McCall McPherson explains why sarcopenia, age-related muscle loss, goes undiagnosed: scales don't catch it and most doctors skip grip-strength tests. Only 19% of adults over 50 do the recommended two 30-minute resistance sessions weekly, and light weights won't build muscle.

Chapters

Every woman is worried about losing muscle, becoming sarcopenic. I believe that when we really have a way to look at sarcopenia, because how can you see it on a scale? And no one's doing grip strength. They're like, well, 3 to 11% of 50 plus year olds have sarcopenia. I go, no one's looking for it. Right. When they start looking for it, it's going to be the inverse of that percentage. Yeah, it'd be horrible because only 19% of adults are doing the recommended two days a week of 30 minutes, twice a week of resistance training. Wow. Which is the bare minimum. Totally. And who knows? They're probably the people that I see in the gym who I've controlled myself to stay away from because they didn't ask for my help with the little pink dumbbells. You know, all sorts of weird stuff. I'm like, that's not gonna do anything. Right. That's definitely not building muscle. No, that's not building muscle.
