How do we maintain muscle, strength, and mobility as we get older?

In the first episode of Jonty & The Doc, physician Dr. Marcus Ranney and cricket legend Jonty Rhodes dive into an important topic many people overlook - muscle health after the age of 40.

From resistance training and protein intake to sleep, nutrition, and daily movement, the conversation explores practical ways to stay strong as we age.

Jonty shares insights from his own journey - from professional cricket and elite fitness to surfing, lifestyle habits, and staying active in his 50s. Together, they unpack how small daily habits like climbing stairs, staying active outdoors, and maintaining good sleep and nutrition can have a powerful impact on long-term health.

This episode sets the tone for the podcast - combining science, real-life experience, and practical health insights to help people live healthier, stronger lives.
