This really hit home. I never realized a “light” breakfast could quietly starve muscles after 60. Protein in the morning makes so much sense when you explain the repair window.
I’m Dr. James — leaving this note so I can follow your journey and stay connected with this senior community.
Which book of yours is the best for me.🤔
I just finished the video and didn’t realize my “healthy” toast and tea breakfast could actually make my legs weaker. I’ve switched to the protein-rich breakfast Dr. Barbara mentioned — excited to see if it really helps with balance and strength. 💪
Upon waking drink 2 tall glasses of warm lemon water. Within 30 min. eat a protein rich breakfast. Limit meals to 2 or 3 a day. NO snacking. Constantly eating causes Insulin Resistance. The beginning of Diabeties. She IS INCORRECT about eating constantly.
Thank you!❤
I have Gelatin bloomed overnight . With morning cup of tea/coffee. Half hour later I have egg and slice of cheese sandwich with buttered bread. Tea with milk.
I don’t like breakfast right away, but I drink a lot of water snd then drink Matcha tea and honey. The. I take one piece of a Brazil nut. Then I have Spiralina /Corella tablets.
I agree that some protein at breakfast is important and be sure to have a little fruit as well. I’m a healthy 88!
She just talks talks talks

Huge amount of vital info
I am.82 and during last 2 yrs my legs have weakened hugely. Will definitely try this! Xo joanne

Not convincing, what about intermittent fasting?… sorry this message is not convincing…
This is such a crucial message! The point about getting 25-30 grams of leucine-rich protein at breakfast to effectively flip the Muscle Protein Synthesis (MPS) switch is the single most actionable piece of advice for fighting sarcopenia. It perfectly debunks the myth that a light, sugary breakfast is healthy for seniors.
My channel also focuses on science-based nutrition strategies for rebuilding strength and supporting independence in later years.
Thank you for bringing this high-quality, life-changing information to the community. Keep up the fantastic work, and may your channel continue to grow and help more people!
