What Is Sarcopenia?
Start with the change many people notice before they have a name for it: chairs, stairs, grip, balance, and slower recovery.
The book behind StrongPath
Choosing the StrongPath
Reversing the Downward Spiral of Aging

Where the work began
The book is the starting point. The articles carry it forward.
The book gives StrongPath its starting point: muscle loss matters, strength can be trained, and useful guidance should stay close to real life: stairs, bags, chairs, travel, family, and good days.
The articles keep that foundation close to daily life: how muscle loss shows up, how strength work begins, how food and recovery fit in, and how families can help without taking over.
