Muscle loss isn’t just about getting weaker — it’s one of the biggest drivers of aging, fat gain, insulin resistance, and loss of independence. By your 60s, you may have already lost up to 30% of your muscle mass, a condition known as sarcopenia. But here’s the breakthrough: muscle decline is not inevitable.
In this science-based talk, Dr. William Li explains why muscle is your body’s most powerful metabolic organ and reveals the overlooked food that may outperform even sardines when it comes to stimulating muscle growth and overcoming anabolic resistance.
You’ll learn:
Why aging muscles stop responding to protein
How leucine flips the muscle-building switch (mTOR)
The exact protein timing strategy that maximizes growth
Why whole eggs are a “gold standard” muscle food
How sleep, inflammation, and liver health sabotage progress
A practical weekly protocol to protect strength at any age
This isn’t about bodybuilding. It’s about preserving metabolism, preventing frailty, and extending your healthspan.

❓ WHY WATCH THIS VIDEO
Because muscle loss drives:
Slower metabolism
Fat gain
Blood sugar problems
Weakness & falls
Accelerated aging
This video shows how to actively rebuild muscle, even in your 60s, 70s, and beyond — using food, timing, and simple training.
