Most people think aging starts with wrinkles, gray hair, or memory loss. It doesn’t.

Aging starts when your legs begin to weaken, long before you notice it.

In this video, you’ll learn why your leg muscles age faster than the rest of your body, how damaged mitochondria silently drain your strength, and why traditional solutions like exercise and protein stop working after 40.

You’ll also discover the one cellular process that controls muscle aging, why it shuts down with age, and how targeted support can turn it back on.
