In this episode I sit with Dr Yurth (or Betsy as she prefers to be called) and we talk about the  common and yet complex issue of building muscle and losing fat mass.  As so many people have discovered this is often nowhere nearly as simple as we think it should be, particularly as people get over the age of 45.  We talk about lifestyle, hormones, exercise, and of course - peptides including two peptides that are rarely considered when someone is trying to “lose weight” or, as we prefer to say - improve their body composition.
