#1: Stronger For Longer:
How to Build and Maintain Muscle as You Age

Staying strong doesn’t mean spending hours at the gym. Whether you’re a runner, an avid pickle ball player, weekend hiker, or someone who just wants to age without constantly throwing out your back, this session is for you.

We’ll cover what happens to muscle over time, what kinds of movement matter most, and how to safely build strength that lasts—especially if you’re not 25 anymore.

#2: When Joints Talk Back:
Understanding Arthritis and Easing the Aches

Joint pain isn’t just “part of getting older” and ignoring it doesn’t make it go away. In this session, we’ll walk through how arthritis progresses, what symptoms to expect (and when to act), and practical ways to maintain mobility without jumping straight to surgery.

Whether you’re feeling your first creaky knee or navigating a long-term diagnosis, you’ll walk away with options that make sense for real life.

#3: Keep It Moving:
Muscle Health for People who Hate the Gym

No gym membership? No problem.
This session is all about realistic, low-bar ways to keep your muscles working when you’d rather spend Saturday morning sipping coffee and reading a book over running a 5K. Movement doesn’t have to mean marathons.

Learn how nutrition, supplements, and simple routines (even walking, stretching, or chores) can help maintain muscle mass and mobility, especially if exercise isn’t your thing.

Great for beginners or anyone getting back into a routine after a break.
