Choosing the StrongPath

Reversing the Downward Spiral of Aging

De: Steven Droullard, Fred Bartlit, Dr. Marni Boppart

Choose health. Choose strength. Choose the StrongPath.

Choosing the StrongPath is a book about the most insidious health crisis in the world, Sarcopenia, a muscle-wasting and frailty disease. It impacts all of us as we age, unless we proactively prevent it.

As a world-renowned investigator and case builder, Fred Bartlit has done this once again with this book. He and coauthor Steven Droullard, along with muscle physiology expert Dr. Marni Boppart, want to share a little known fact with the world: You don’t have to fall apart as you get older. Through carefully calibrated progressive strength training and supporting nutrition, you can stave off sarcopenia, along with dozens of other age-related illnesses.

Using scientific evidence and real-life case studies, Choosing the StrongPath offers a clear path away from a steady decline in the last third of your life and toward a healthier, happier you.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A Bit Misleading; But Sound Advise

This book had a lot of good advise and information about what sarcopenia is and how to help deter it. Very motivational. However, he kept referring his readers to his website' https://www.strongpath.com/ for resources, tracking forms, examples of exercises, proper form, case studies, etc. But when I went to the website, all I saw was "Grow Revenue And Improve Outcomes", "Use Our Return On Investment Calculator To Determine How Much Your Organization Can Earn When You Take The Strong Path", "With StrongPath, your practice or hospital can bill for and collect reimbursement when your patients participate in our remote care programs". The PDFs that came along with the audio book were helpful, but that's not what the book was referring to.

So, it appears that this started out as a well intended program for elderly adults to take charge of their health and well being, but then, like everything else medical, it turned into a profit making venture. So, he convinces me that I need to begin strength training immediately, but then leaves me hanging not knowing were to start.

Fortunately, his is not the first book I've read or listened to regarding the aging body, and certainly not the first to write of the vital importance of strength training (for everyone), so I already found an app that you can download on your phone for free. Not all of us have access to gyms and can afford personal trainers. Not all of us want to wait until it's medically necessary so we can bill it to our insurance.
