Forget Bone Broth! This Food Builds Muscle And Kills Sarcopenia | Dr. David Sinclair

If you’re over 60 and finding it harder to gain or even maintain muscle—despite eating enough protein and staying active—the issue isn’t your discipline. It’s that you’re missing one essential building block that most fitness advice completely ignores: collagen. While protein helps stimulate muscle growth, collagen is what actually forms the framework of your muscles, strengthens connective tissue, and anchors muscle fibers to your bones. As we age, collagen production drops sharply, making real strength gains nearly impossible without restoring it. In this video, I uncover two highly concentrated liquid collagen sources that contain up to eight times more collagen than standard bone broth: fish skin broth and chicken feet broth. These ancient, traditional foods have been consumed for centuries and are now supported by modern studies showing significant improvements in muscle mass, joint mobility, and inflammation in older adults—some participants even gained several pounds of lean muscle in just a few months. However, simply adding collagen isn’t enough. I also break down three everyday foods that quietly destroy collagen’s benefits when eaten alongside it—and the final one is so common, chances are you’ve consumed it recently. These foods don’t just block absorption; they trigger chemical reactions that damage connective tissue and speed up age-related muscle loss. If you’re experiencing weakness, joint stiffness, or want to preserve strength and independence as you age, this video lays out a clear, natural strategy to slow—and even reverse—muscle decline. Comment below with the food combination that surprised you most, and subscribe, because in the next video I’ll reveal a little-known overnight method that strengthens your legs while you sleep. ---- Disclaimer: This is a fan-made channel, and its content is not affiliated with David Sinclair or his companies.
