SARCOPENIA – THE IGNORED EPIDEMIC
Sarcopenia – defined as an age related loss of muscle mass and function – is a major public health threat. Millions of people have sarcopenia – both
YOUNG and old! – and it impacts every aspect of your life, from increased risk of disease to being unable to simply function in ever day life. It’s THAT important!
Although loss of bone mass (osteoporosis) has been on the radar of main stream medicine for decades, sarcopenia is now starting to get the attention it should, by researchers and the medical profession in general. In this latest BrinkZone Radio, you will learn what sarcopenia is, what the major causes are, and how it’s prevented and or treated, with my guest, Dr. Lopez.

Q: Who is Dr. Lopez? Don’t need an entire bio; a 30 second intro would suffice. If you’ve done it before, it should be done every time he’s on for first time listeners. Oddly, the radio show page has no copy; text, links, other info, etc.
Thanks.
Joe, have added a bio and link to additional articles from Dr Lopez. Hope that helps.
Thank you!
