Over 60? This Breakfast Kills Sarcopenia and Boost Leg Strength in 24 Hours | Dr. William Li

Are you over 60 and feeling your leg strength fade? What if the key to reversing muscle loss isn't a new drug or extreme workout, but the very first thing you eat each day? In this powerful science-backed talk, we dive deep into sarcopenia—the age-related loss of muscle—and reveal how a strategic breakfast can flip your body from breakdown to building mode in as little as 24 hours.

We'll uncover the critical role of protein timing, the hidden impact of morning insulin spikes, and the anti-inflammatory foods that protect your muscle fibers. This isn't just about strength; it's about preserving your independence, energy, and longevity.
