- 0:00Speaker 1: Everybody, and welcome. It is June thirtieth, twenty twenty six,
- 0:06Speaker 1: and welcome. We have an article here by a doctor
- 0:09Speaker 1: yang Ya and g dated June twenty third, seven days ago.
- 0:14Speaker 1: It says most skin aging can be significantly delayed. Do
- 0:20Speaker 1: I have your attention now? Want your skin to not age?
- 0:25Speaker 1: That's what we're going to talk about today. Stay tuned, hi,
- 0:28Speaker 1: and welcome to Health Talk with Doctor Lynn. Your daily dose.
- 0:31Speaker 1: The information you hear on the show is informational. It's
- 0:34Speaker 1: not meant to diagnose or treat any disease. Any kind
- 0:38Speaker 1: of complete health conditions must be checked out and discussed
- 0:43Speaker 1: with your primary care physician. Get ready for the good
- 0:46Speaker 1: news of the day. God bless you, folks, and here
- 0:50Speaker 1: is Doctor Lynn. Our daily devotional today comes from the
- 0:53Speaker 1: Book of John Chapter eight. I am the Truth, the
- 0:55Speaker 1: one who came to set you free. As the Holy
- 0:58Speaker 1: Spirit controls your mind and actions, more fully, you become
- 1:02Speaker 1: free in me. You're increasingly released to become the one
- 1:05Speaker 1: I created you to be. This is a work that
- 1:09Speaker 1: I do in you. As you yield to my spirit,
- 1:12Speaker 1: I can do my best handiwork when you sit in
- 1:14Speaker 1: the stillness of MY presence focusing your entire being on me.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Let my thoughts burst freely upon your consciousness, stimulating abundant life.
- 1:23Speaker 1: I am the Way and the truth and the life.
- 1:27Speaker 1: As you follow me, I lead you along passive newness
- 1:30Speaker 1: ways you've never imagined. Don't worry about what's on the
- 1:33Speaker 1: road up ahead. I want you to find your security
- 1:36Speaker 1: in knowing me, the one who died to set you free.
- 1:41Speaker 1: Hell Elijah Stay.
- 1:42Speaker 2: Tuned, twenty.

- 3:04Speaker 1: years of caring for a mother with dementia will take
- 3:06Speaker 1: things from you. Sleep time, the freedom of not being
- 3:10Speaker 1: needed every hour. But Helen didn't know. What no one
- 3:13Speaker 1: had thought to mention was that it had also been
- 3:16Speaker 1: harming her bones. Helen was sixty eight, a retired school
- 3:20Speaker 1: teacher when she came to my office three months after
- 3:23Speaker 1: a fall that broke her wrist. Her primary care physician
- 3:26Speaker 1: had done what most good doctors do, ordered a dual
- 3:29Speaker 1: energy X ray adsorpalmitry dexis scan, started her on medication
- 3:34Speaker 1: to prevent loss of bone density, and told her to
- 3:36Speaker 1: take more calcium. The risk, it turned out, was the
- 3:39Speaker 1: smaller of her two losses. A body composition analysis revealed
- 3:43Speaker 1: Helen had been losing muscle for years as well. Her
- 3:47Speaker 1: lean mass had fallen well below what her frame could carry.
- 3:50Speaker 1: The kind of erosion that unfolds so gradually a patient
- 3:53Speaker 1: barely notices it until something breaks. Few patients here by
- 3:57Speaker 1: osteoporosis before a bone break. Fewers still hear about sarcopenia,
- 4:02Speaker 1: the steady disappearance of muscle. By the time a fall
- 4:05Speaker 1: or a scan finally reveals the problem, years of bone
- 4:08Speaker 1: density and substantial share of lean muscle are already gone.
- 4:12Speaker 1: The standard response is a prescription, a calcium supplement, and
- 4:16Speaker 1: a vague instruction to stay active. In my clinical experience,
- 4:20Speaker 1: that response is profoundly inadequate. The loss of bone and
- 4:24Speaker 1: muscles among one of the most consequential, but fortunately also
- 4:28Speaker 1: among one of the most preventable and reversible aspects of aging.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Frailty is one of the strongest predictors of dependent living
- 4:35Speaker 1: in death after sixty five. The patient who maintains muscular
- 4:39Speaker 1: skeletal strength is far better position to maintain everything else, independence, balance, metabolism,
- 4:45Speaker 1: even the cognitive resilience that comes from staying physically capable.
- 4:49Speaker 1: Reversing decline requires a broader perspective. In my practice, I
- 4:54Speaker 1: evaluate every patient using the ACS model for health and medicine.
- 4:59Speaker 1: Four dimensions. That is, influence how the body maintains or
- 5:01Speaker 1: loses its structure over time. Anatomy, chemistry, energy, and soul.
- 5:08Speaker 1: Bone of muscle loss is rarely failure in just one
- 5:10Speaker 1: of these dimensions. Treating only one or two A prescription here,
- 5:14Speaker 1: a supplement there is why so many patients keep falling.
- 5:20Speaker 1: Helen's condition was a failure in all four dimensions. When
- 5:24Speaker 1: Helen told me she walked forty minutes every day and
- 5:26Speaker 1: had done so for twenty years, she expected that I
- 5:31Speaker 1: I would count her in favor, and I did, but
- 5:35Speaker 1: not nearly enough. She had never looked at anything heavier
- 5:38Speaker 1: than a bag of groceries in her life. Bone and
- 5:41Speaker 1: muscle are living tissues, and they respond directly to the
- 5:43Speaker 1: demands placed on them. Wolf's law, articulated more than a
- 5:47Speaker 1: century ago, holds it. Bone remodels in response to the
- 5:50Speaker 1: forces it experiences. When you take away the load, the
- 5:54Speaker 1: osteoblast the cells and build bone stop receiving the order
- 5:58Speaker 1: to work. This is why my bedridden patients lose bone
- 6:01Speaker 1: at alarming speed, and astronauts returned from long missions with
- 6:05Speaker 1: bone densities of someone decades older and after train hard
- 6:08Speaker 1: to get it back, a condition called space osteoporosis. It's
- 6:13Speaker 1: also why walking, though far better than sitting, is not
- 6:16Speaker 1: enough to maintain bone density on its own. Bone responds
- 6:19Speaker 1: to load, resistance, impact, and weight that genuinely challenges the tissue.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Muscle obeys the same role. With one harsh edition, the
- 6:28Speaker 1: body actively dismantles tissue that it doesn't believe it needs.
- 6:32Speaker 1: After roughly aged forty, muscle becomes progressively deft to signals
- 6:35Speaker 1: that once build it, a phenomena called anabolic resistance. The
- 6:40Speaker 1: same protein and the same workout that added muscle at
- 6:44Speaker 1: thirty no longer suffices at sixty. People who don't raise
- 6:47Speaker 1: the stimulus lose a little more every year. Modern life
- 6:51Speaker 1: accelerates all the above physiological changes the average adult and
- 6:55Speaker 1: now sits up nine hours a day. Hip flexers shortened
- 6:59Speaker 1: glue just go quiet. The upper back rounds forward in
- 7:03Speaker 1: the posterior chain, the structural backbone of human movement wastes away.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Give your skeleton and muscles a reason to stay. For
- 7:12Speaker 1: most adults, that means resistance training two to three times
- 7:14Speaker 1: a week, working the major muscle groups against meaningful weight.
- 7:19Speaker 1: The biochemistry of bone and muscles rarely investigated in depth,
- 7:23Speaker 1: and the standard lab panel misses most of what matters.
- 7:26Speaker 1: Vitamin ded's the first place to look. Optimal level of
- 7:29Speaker 1: serum twenty five ohd from muscular skeletal function arguably lines
- 7:33Speaker 1: between fifty and eighty range rather than thirty, which is
- 7:37Speaker 1: what most doctors say is okay. Vitamin K two is
- 7:41Speaker 1: often left out of the conversation entirely. It directs calcium
- 7:44Speaker 1: into bone and away from material walls. Magnesium deficiencies widespread.
- 7:49Speaker 1: More than half American adults are functionally short and magnesium,
- 7:52Speaker 1: yet it rarely appears on standard panels. Proteins and underestimated variable.
- 7:58Speaker 1: The official US recommended daily allows of point eight grams
- 8:01Speaker 1: per kilogram of body weight, is widely regarded by geriatric
- 8:04Speaker 1: and sports medicine specialists, is too low for adults past forty.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Helen's dietary intake on a typical day slice of toast,
- 8:12Speaker 1: small salad a light dinner gave her under thirty five
- 8:16Speaker 1: grams of protein. Each meal needs to supply roughly thirty
- 8:19Speaker 1: grams of high quality protein to overcome antabolic resistance. And
- 8:23Speaker 1: actually switch on muscle synthesis. Hormones complete the picture. Testosterone
- 8:29Speaker 1: growth hormone IGF in some light, growth factor DHA, building
- 8:33Speaker 1: block for the production of major male and female sucks.
- 8:35Speaker 1: Hormones including testosterone and estrogen, and thyroid all declined through midlife.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Every one of them is essential for maintaining bone and muscle.
- 8:45Speaker 1: Ask your physition for a panel that goes beyond the basics.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Treat supplements such as D and K two and magnesium
- 8:51Speaker 1: as targeted corrections for measurable deficiencies. Even flawless training and
- 8:56Speaker 1: nutrition could fail if the body lacks the cellular power
- 9:00Speaker 1: to act upon them. Building bone and muscles metabolically expensive
- 9:04Speaker 1: work and depends on healthy mitochondria, the engines inside of
- 9:08Speaker 1: each and every one of our cells. Patients with chronic fatigue,
- 9:12Speaker 1: lingering posts, viral syndromes, or significant toxic exposures lose muscle
- 9:17Speaker 1: faster because the cellular power to rebuild them is compromised.
- 9:22Speaker 1: Sleep is when the rebuilding actually happens. Growth hormone is
- 9:25Speaker 1: released primarily during the deepest of slow waves sleep, and
- 9:29Speaker 1: in that window the body completes muscle protein synthesis and
- 9:32Speaker 1: bone remodeling. Protects sleep as if it was a prescription,
- 9:37Speaker 1: a constant schedule, a cool dark room, a hard stop
- 9:41Speaker 1: on late night, screen used, and alcohol intake, both of
- 9:44Speaker 1: which sabotage this slow waves sleep treat. Emotional load is
- 9:51Speaker 1: a clinical variable, not a footnote. Small daily steps can
- 9:56Speaker 1: make big changes in your bone and muscle health. Lift
- 9:58Speaker 1: weights two or three times a week. It can increase
- 10:00Speaker 1: your weight over time. Get thirty grams of protein with
- 10:02Speaker 1: every meal, check your vitamin D mag and have vindicated
- 10:05Speaker 1: your hormones and correct what is genuinely low. One year
- 10:09Speaker 1: after we began lifting weights twice a week, sleeping seven
- 10:12Speaker 1: and a half hours, and eating protein at every meal,
- 10:14Speaker 1: Helen's follow up DEXA scan showed a meaningful increase, her
- 10:18Speaker 1: first gain in over a decade. She has not fallen
- 10:21Speaker 1: since she told me almost topassing that she had finally
- 10:24Speaker 1: began to grieve her mother. The two changes were not unrelated.
- 10:28Speaker 1: The disappearance of bone and muscle is not a sentence
- 10:31Speaker 1: handed down by age. It's a cumulative product of two
- 10:34Speaker 1: little mechanical load, two little nourishment, declining hormones, depleted energy,
- 10:39Speaker 1: and unprocessed weight of life. And every one of those
- 10:42Speaker 1: can be addressed. So this really wasn't about skin aging,
- 10:45Speaker 1: It was about bone. Sorry, hopefully you got something out
- 10:48Speaker 1: of that and need help, give me a call seven
- 10:51Speaker 1: two seven nine one six four to two. God bless
- 10:55Speaker 1: you folks. See us
