It's Not Just How Much Protein You Eat — It's These 3 Sources. The Sarcopenia Science Doctors Miss

After sixty, muscle loss accelerates due to a biological phenomenon called anabolic resistance — your muscles no longer respond to protein the same way they did at forty. Sarcopenia affects up to 50% of adults over 80 and is directly linked to falls, fractures, loss of independence, and higher mortality.
In this video, Dr. Eleanor Vanor explains the leucine threshold mechanism, mTORC1 signalling, and why standard protein recommendations are insufficient for older adults — then identifies three specific, accessible, evidence-grounded protein sources that directly overcome anabolic resistance: whey protein isolate, pasture-raised eggs, and fermented Greek yogurt.
What you'll learn: ✔ What sarcopenia is and why it affects 10–16% of community-dwelling older adults ✔ Anabolic resistance — why muscle stops responding to protein after 60 ✔ The leucine threshold: 2.5–3g per meal to activate mTORC1 protein synthesis ✔ Why whey isolate is superior to all other protein sources for sarcopenia prevention ✔ Why pasture-raised eggs provide 91% bioavailability plus critical micronutrients ✔ How fermented Greek yogurt's probiotics improve protein absorption efficiency ✔ The correct daily protein target for adults over 60: 1.2–1.6g per kg bodyweight ✔ How to distribute protein across meals to meet leucine threshold consistently
