Over 60? Eat These 3 CHEESES to Rebuild Muscle and FIGHT Sarcopenia | Dr. William Li
UNITED STATES Do you feel yourself losing strength, even though you try to eat well and stay active? In this video, we explore how sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) silently robs vitality—and how three specific cheeses can act as metabolic tools to rebuild muscle after sixty. I walk you through the biology behind anabolic resistance, and why common protein advice often fails for older adults. Then I reveal ricotta, cottage cheese, and parmesan, explaining what makes each unique at the molecular level, when to eat them, and how to layer them with exercise, recovery, and hormonal balance for real results. This is not fluff. You will get a science-rooted, actionable protocol you can begin today, with timing, portions, and lifestyle tips designed for people in their sixties, seventies, and beyond.
