Sarcopenia (Age-Related Muscle Loss) at Sequoia Medical 360

Preserving Strength, Independence, and Metabolic Health in Westchester, NY

Sarcopenia — the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass and function — is one of the most overlooked drivers of aging. It doesn’t just affect mobility and strength; it also impacts metabolism, cardiovascular health, bone density, and even immune function. At Sequoia Medical 360, we treat muscle as a vital organ of longevity — working proactively to preserve and build lean mass so you can maintain energy, independence, and resilience across every stage of life.

Why Sarcopenia Matters

Muscle mass naturally begins to decline after age 30, accelerating after 50.
By age 70, many adults have lost 25–30% of their muscle mass.
Sarcopenia is strongly linked to:
  • Frailty, falls, and fractures
  • Loss of independence
  • Metabolic decline and insulin resistance
  • Reduced bone density and osteoporosis
  • Increased risk of hospitalization and mortality

Muscle is not just strength — it is an endocrine and metabolic organ that regulates blood sugar, supports fat loss, and protects cardiovascular and bone health.

Comprehensive Sarcopenia Assessment

At Sequoia, we go far beyond a routine checkup. Our diagnostic toolkit includes:

InBody 770 body composition analysis → measuring muscle mass, visceral fat, and segmental balance.
Strength and functional testing → grip strength, gait speed, and resistance benchmarks.
VO₂ max and aerobic fitness testing → to assess how muscle integrates with cardiovascular capacity.
Hormonal evaluation → identifying imbalances (testosterone, growth hormone, thyroid, cortisol) that accelerate muscle loss.
Nutritional and metabolic screening → protein intake, micronutrient status, and insulin resistance.

Precision Strategies to Prevent & Reverse Sarcopenia

Every plan is personalized and physician-led. Interventions may include:

Targeted Exercise Prescription
Progressive resistance training to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
Zone-based aerobic conditioning to enhance muscle oxygen utilization.
Mobility, balance, and posture training to reduce fall risk.
Optimized Nutrition
Protein-forward frameworks (1.0–1.6 g/kg/day, adjusted individually).
Timing strategies (protein distribution across meals, leucine-rich foods).
Supplementation (vitamin D, creatine, omega-3s) when indicated.
Hormonal & Medical Support
Correction of endocrine conditions (hypogonadism, thyroid disorders, cortisol imbalance).
Evidence-informed hormone optimization or replacement when appropriate.
Pharmacologic or peptide therapies (emerging options under clinical guidance).
Continuous Monitoring
InBody re-testing every 3–6 months.
Wearable data for recovery, activity, and sleep integration.
Adjustments to training, nutrition, and therapy in real time.
