Building & Preserving Muscle Over 40
In this episode of Over 40 Fitness Hacks, host Brad Williams interviews Dr. Rachele Pojednic, a research scientist with a PhD in nutritional biochemistry and the head of Restore Labs at Restore Hyper Wellness. Dr. Pojednic discusses the critical role of muscle in longevity, the challenges of maintaining muscle mass as we age, and how strength training, recovery, and proper nutrition can counteract sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
She emphasizes that while aerobic exercise has traditionally been prioritized, resistance training is essential for metabolic health and functional strength as we get older. Dr. Pojednic explains that muscle loss begins as early as age 30, with hormonal shifts in both men and women contributing to the decline. However, strategic training—focusing on strength, power, and VO2 max—along with adequate recovery, can slow this process.
Brad shares his personal approach to maintaining fitness over 40, including circuit training, HIIT on a rebounder, and daily brisk walking for Zone 2 cardio. Dr. Pojednic affirms the importance of varying exercise intensity and incorporating different modalities throughout the week.
They also discuss how recovery is just as crucial as training, highlighting the need for proper rest to prevent injuries. Dr. Pojednic notes that today’s wellness industry is bridging the gap between science and real-world application through therapies like infrared saunas, red light therapy, and IV micronutrient treatments.
The conversation sets the stage for a deeper dive into supplementation and other biohacking strategies to enhance muscle growth and performance efficiently.
