Foundations: Prevent Age-Related Muscle Loss

Age-related muscle loss—known as sarcopenia—is often treated as inevitable, but research and clinical experience suggest otherwise. In this comprehensive webinar, K.P. Khalsa explores why muscle tissue declines with age and outlines practical, natural strategies that can help slow, halt, or even reverse this process. Drawing on nutrition science, inflammation research, hormonal insights, and traditional herbal medicine, the class explains how lifestyle, digestion, nutrient status, and metabolic health directly influence muscle strength, balance, and resilience. Participants gain a clearer understanding of why weakness, fatigue, and frailty increase with age—and what can be done proactively to preserve mobility and independence. This class is ideal for individuals interested in healthy aging, as well as practitioners seeking evidence-informed, holistic approaches to maintaining muscle mass over time.

Class Description

Loss of muscle mass is one of the most significant—and overlooked—drivers of aging-related decline. In this in-depth webinar, K.P. Khalsa reframes sarcopenia as a modifiable condition influenced by inflammation, nutrient absorption, hormonal shifts, digestion, and lifestyle patterns rather than an unavoidable consequence of aging. The class examines why muscle tissue deteriorates, how chronic low-grade inflammation accelerates muscle loss, and why common dietary patterns fail to support long-term muscular health.

Khalsa explains the critical role of protein metabolism, vegetable intake, digestive function, vitamin D status, and metabolic acidity in preserving muscle integrity. He also explores how inadequate digestion, low stomach acid, nutrient deficiencies, and sedentary habits quietly undermine muscle repair year after year. Integrating modern research with traditional herbal and Ayurvedic perspectives, the course presents a coherent framework for supporting muscle tissue through diet, targeted supplementation, herbal tonics, and appropriate physical activity—without extreme regimens or unsustainable interventions.
