Movement Is the Evidence of Life—Here’s How to Keep It

By Dr. Paul Bernitt, TriVita Director of Wellness & Board-Certified Doctor of Holistic Health

Have you noticed it’s harder to rise from a chair? Do short walks or climbing stairs leave you feeling winded? Has your balance or coordination started to slip?

These may seem like small changes, but they can signal something serious: age-related muscle loss, slow blood flow and energy decline. For too many adults over 50, this slow erosion of strength, mobility and stamina can chip away at confidence—and independence—without warning.

But, what if your body isn’t actually failing?

Your body was made to move—and with the right support, it still can. When your energy improves, everything feels easier. You can think more clearly, get through the day without crashing, and feel motivated to move and engage with life again. Healthy circulation means better delivery of oxygen and nutrients—reducing fatigue, brain fog and swelling while supporting healing and daily function.

Rebuilding muscle helps you stay steady, avoid falls and keep doing the things you love—gardening, walking, traveling or playing with grandkids. Support all three, and you don’t just feel better—you live better.

Stronger… Sharper… More energetic to enjoy the life you love.

Muscle Loss Doesn’t Happen Overnight—And, Strength Can Return More Quickly Than You Think

Starting around age 30, your body begins to lose muscle mass—up to 8% per decade. After age 60, that rate of loss can double. This gradual process is known as sarcopenia—muscle loss that leads to weakness, frailty, slower recovery and, eventually, loss of independence.

But, here’s the encouraging truth:
Muscle loss is reversible…
Strength can be rebuilt…
Movement can be restored.

You don’t have to be sick to be at risk. You don’t even have to feel weak to be getting weaker.

But… You certainly don’t have to accept muscle and energy loss as “just aging.”

Why Movement Gets Harder—and How to Make It Easier Again

When your muscles weaken, you don’t just lose strength: you lose strength, stability, motivation and freedom. Without proper movement, every system in your body suffers—from the heart and brain to the lymphatic and immune systems.

The ability to move, recover and stay active depends on three things:

1. Energy production in the cells
2. Blood flow to deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to the cells
3. Healthy muscle tissue

If any of these is compromised, then fatigue, slower recovery and weakness follow.

The good news? There’s a way to restore these functions.

Build Strength, Balance and Confidence with MyoHealth®

Your muscles thrive on essential amino acids (EAAs)—9 building blocks your body uses to make protein but can’t make on its own. Without all 9, you simply can’t rebuild or maintain lean muscle… especially as you age.

TriVita’s MyoHealth formula delivers all 9 EAAs in a clinically proven ratio, based on more than 40 years of research by Dr. Robert Wolfe. It’s the only formula of its kind validated by 25 human clinical studies and more than $20 million in scientific funding.

MyoHealth may help:

• Rebuild lean muscle mass
• Improve balance and mobility
• Accelerate recovery from injury, illness or surgery
• Increase strength and stability—at any age

It works whether you’re facing age-related decline or simply want to stay strong for the life you love—gardening, golfing or playing with grandkids.

Fuel Your Energy from the Inside Out

Movement also requires energy… energy that starts at the cellular level, where your body converts nutrients into power.

But with age, your cells don’t function as efficiently. That’s why we recommend Alfred Libby’s Original B-12, a trusted formula that delivers:

• Methylcobalamin (B12) for energy and red blood cell support
• Folate (B9) for healthy brain function and a balanced mood
• B6 for nervous system and metabolism support

This unique, slow-dissolve tablet bypasses digestion for fast absorption, helping you feel more energized, alert and motivated to move.

When paired with MyoHealth’s amino acids, Original B-12 helps ensure that your brain and body work together for greater energy, clearer focus and more motivation.

Start Your Day with Nitric Oxide Support and Stay Energized On the Go

Healthy circulation is essential for energy, stamina and overall vitality—especially as you age. That’s why TriVita offers two powerful ways to support blood flow, oxygen delivery and nitric oxide production from morning to night.

Kick-Start Your Day with Nitric Oxide Plus
TriVita’s Nitric Oxide Plus is your morning catalyst for better circulation and lasting energy. This clinically inspired formula combines beetroot powder rich in nitrates, L-arginine, L-citrulline, magnesium and horse chestnut—nutrients shown to support:

• • Healthy nitric oxide production
  • Relaxation of blood vessels for improved blood flow
  • Better nutrient and oxygen delivery to every cell
  • Cardiovascular and vein health
  • Natural energy and stamina

Taken first thing in the morning, Nitric Oxide Plus helps wake up your body at the cellular level, while Beetroot Gummies keep you going throughout the day.

Movement is how you engage with life, love and purpose. Don’t let age define your limits. Let strength, energy and healthy blood flow support your future.
