I spent about 12 years (2009-2021) doing some combination of bodybuilding style training or crossfit and truly loved it. However, I had a miscarriage at the end of 2021 and after the recovery from it I have never gotten back into a regular lifting routine. I also have no desire to weight train in a gym anymore or do typical resistance or weight training routines at all. However, it is ground into my mind that I must lift weights to maintain my muscle mass as I age (I'm 41 and female). I am struggling mentally on how to stay physically fit and healthy as I age without lifting weights. I currently walk 3-5 miles several times per week and force myself to lift lower body 1 day per week. I do love to hike, walk, and am interested in road cycling and rucking. So my questions are do I have to lift weights to maintain or build muscle? Is a combination of rucking, hiking, walking and/or cycling enough stimulus to achieve the muscle building and strength I need as I age? I'm most curious about rucking, because it seems like it would be a great for muscle development, but I would love your thoughts. Also do you have a recommendation on ruck packs or weighted vests to use? Thank you so much for all your advice. Maggie Elevated ALT/AST on Keto (With Resolution?) Chris writes: Hi Robb and Nikki, Sent you a podcast question back in March of this year prior to a liver biopsy with a long-winded explanation of elevated liver enzymes I've been having since I had my appendix removed in Feb '23. Lo and behold, the liver biopsy revealed no issues and I followed up with a hepatic specialist who is still scratching his head. Much ado about nothing though (I think): I went on vacation for 4th of July week (stayed low-ish carb i.e. 100g-200g net carb) and retested when I got back and my enzymes went down a significant amount, but not fully clean. They went back up after a few weeks of low carb after this. This got me curious, so when I went on another vacation in July and purposefully went off low carb for 2.5 weeks and retested: when I got back and my enzymes were actually entirely clean this time! This made me want to prove out my hypothesis of low carb ( Some numbers for reference (Date/ALT/AST/Diet Prior to Test): 6/16 = 75 / 131 / 7/08 = 52 / 97 / 100g-200g net carb 7/19 = 78 / 122 / 08/08 = 33 / 51 / no holds barred carb gluttony, can't even estimate 08/29 = 78 / 115 / 09/19 = 40 / 37 / paleo 250g-300g net carb I'm fairly active (18K-20K steps per day), 30 minutes of zone 2 cardio daily, 10 minutes of resistance training daily, at least three one mile walks spread throughout the day (typically after meals). Any ideas as to what is happening here? Gastroenterologist and hepatic specialist are stumped. All tests were done at the same lab and all food was logged except for the gluttonous vacation. Tried to keep this experimentation as scientific as possible. Thanks! Chris Deer Antler Velvet Davin writes I’ve been a listener from the beginning (I still miss Greg!). Anyhow, I was wondering your opinion on a supplement that’s seems to be gaining popularity. https://www.bioproteintech.com/shop/biopro-plus?srsltid=AfmBOoopbiPBpDdnx5eYdLO3QDUc-sAON1OrMK1eg2i_arNjaAae2ksp It’s supposedly a non synthetic alternative to GH or peptides. I took it for six months and saw zeros results in gym performance
