Strava Strength Workouts Give the Muscle Map Real Data at Last
Strava strength workouts now log every set live, so the muscle map shows what was actually done. What subscribers get, and what it still doesn't measure.
Myostatin Inhibitors Can Build Bigger Muscles — But Not Stronger Ones
Myostatin inhibitor trials add muscle mass on MRI without gains in grip strength or walk tests. Peter Attia's four hypotheses for why size and function split.
Zone 2 Training: Why Time-Constrained Athletes May Be Better Off Skipping It
Peter Attia reframes Zone 2 as a volume tool, not a metabolic must-do — and the implications for busy people are bigger than expected.
Menopause Is a Muscle-Health Inflection Point — and Most Programs Miss It
Estrogen decline during menopause narrows the window for muscle protein synthesis and changes how training responds. The intervention stack is specific: protein distribution, progressive resistance, and individualized HRT consideration — not just more of each.
Healthy Aging: Why Exercise Is Non-Negotiable and Protein Is Supporting Cast
New research reframes the protein-first aging model. Exercise is the irreducible core of healthy aging — protein helps, but it doesn't replace what movement does at the cellular level.
Niagen's NR Study: A 2.5-Year Drop in Muscle Epigenetic Age
A new peer-reviewed analysis links NR supplementation to a 2.5-year reduction in muscle epigenetic age — though the funding company calls the data preliminary.
RLT Home TotalSpectrum Panels: Lab-Tested 7-Wavelength Review (2026)
A spectrometer test of RLT Home's ELITE panel measured 70.75 mW/cm² irradiance and 0.7 mG EMF at 12 inches, strong numbers for a full-body panel.
Home Infrared Sauna Buying Guide: The Three Specs That Actually Matter
The infrared sauna market spans $200 blankets to $15,000 cabins. Most buyers choose wrong by focusing on wood and aesthetics. Three specs determine whether a unit delivers results.
Nuritas' AI-Discovered Peptides Are Now in Frozen Yogurt — and 31 Countries
Nuritas uses AI to discover functional peptides from plant proteins, then validates them through clinical research. At IFT FIRST 2026, PeptiStrong arrived in frozen yogurt format. What this means for functional nutrition.
Elysium Creatine+: A Three-Ingredient Stack Targeting Strength, Recovery, and Longevity
Elysium Health's new Creatine+ combines creatine monohydrate with HMB and pomegranate-derived urolithin A precursors — a longevity-focused formulation co-developed with a Stanford longevity researcher.
77% of Max Strength Gains With Light Weights Twice a Week
A meta-analysis of 192 studies finds that light-load, multi-set training twice a week captures 77% of maximal strength gains. The gap between optimal and accessible is far smaller than the fitness industry suggests.
Growth Hormone for Injury Recovery: The Evidence Gap Between Clinics and Clinical Trials
hGH reliably raises IGF-1. IGF-1 drives anabolic signaling. Somewhere between that mechanism and the recovery outcomes being sold in wellness clinics, the evidence breaks down.
EL-22: The Engineered Probiotic Targeting the Muscle Loss That GLP-1 Drugs Leave Behind
NorthStrive Biosciences has patented EL-22, a myostatin-inhibiting probiotic designed to preserve lean muscle during GLP-1-driven weight loss — addressing one of the category's most significant side effects.
Muscle as Medicine: Why Strength Is the Missing Variable in Longevity
When 40% of weight-loss drug results come from muscle, health outcomes worsen. Here's why strength — not scale weight — is the longevity lever that determines outcomes.
Osteoboost's FDA-Cleared Wearable Uses Vibration to Slow Bone Loss
Osteoboost's prescription wearable delivers high-frequency vibration to the lumbar spine to slow bone density loss — FDA cleared, 82% adherence in trials, and backed by $8M to crack insurance coverage.
