Protein Secrets for Longevity

Updated: Oct 15

Hey there, Let me guess...

✅ You eat “pretty healthy” but can’t seem to build or maintain lean muscle

✅ You’ve lost weight… but now feel weaker, flabbier, or more fatigued

✅ You’re on a GLP-1 med (like Ozempic or Wegovy) and concerned about muscle loss

✅ You don’t feel as strong or toned as you used to—despite walking or working out

✅ You hit the afternoon slump, feel snacky all day, or crash after meals

✅ You’ve heard about protein but feel confused about how much, when, or what kind


The worst part?

❌ You’re told to eat less, move more… but you feel more tired, not stronger

❌ You’re working out, but not seeing results (or worse—losing muscle)

❌ Your annual labs say “everything looks fine,” but you don’t feel fine

❌ You’ve tried high-protein meals or shakes—but didn’t notice a difference

❌ You're doing the hard work, but no one told you about anabolic resistance or protein timing

❌ You’re watching your metabolism slow down, but no one gave you a roadmap


Here's the thing most doctors won't tell you:

⚠️ As you age, your body becomes less efficient at using protein to build and maintain muscle.

This is called anabolic resistance, and it affects nearly everyone over 40.

⚠️ Weight loss without strength training + protein leads to sarcopenia—a condition of low muscle mass that’s about to become more common than obesity.

⚠️ Even if you eat protein, if it’s not the right kind, in the right amount, at the right time, your body may not use it effectively. That’s why timing and leucine content matter.

⚠️ You can change the game by making small shifts in your protein intake, movement habits, and mindset—but you need the right strategy, not just random advice.


Muscle is your longevity currency— and this webinar will show you how to protect it, build it, and fuel it at any age. With the right strategy—quality protein, movement, smart supplements, and small daily shifts—you can protect your muscle, regain your energy, and feel strong again.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about building a body that supports your life.
