Forget Chia Seeds! This Food Builds Muscle and Kills Sarcopenia | Dr. William Li

Muscle loss, or sarcopenia, is not an inevitable part of aging — it is a reflection of deeper metabolic imbalance. In this 27 minute and 32 second masterclass, Dr. William Li reveals the real science behind muscle preservation and regeneration. Learn why popular health foods like chia seeds may not provide the complete biological signals your muscles need, and discover how specific nutrient-rich foods activate your body’s anabolic machinery naturally.

This evidence-based discussion explores the connection between the liver, insulin, mitochondria, and muscle growth — and how the right proteins can reverse the silent decline of sarcopenia. Dr. Li breaks down the mechanisms behind amino acids, hormones, and cellular repair in a way that anyone can understand.

By the end, you will see muscle not just as tissue — but as your body’s engine for energy, longevity, and vitality.
