You can fix it, starting right now.Judd explains why strength training is the single most important thing you can do for healthy aging. It's more powerful than supplements, more protective than cardio, and absolutely essential if you want to keep your edge for life. He dives into:Why “metabolic slowdown” is a mythHow muscle protects your hormones and your jointsThe difference between bodybuilding and true strength trainingThe minimal effective dose for staying strong and leanHow to lift for performance, not egoWhat it really means to age with strength and presenceThis isn’t about chasing aesthetics. It’s about staying capable and being the kind of person who can still move, lift, run, and play well into your 50s, 60s, and beyond.“We’re not meant to live forever. But we are meant to live well.
