## Resource

Healthy Aging in Practice: Gut Health, Muscle Preservation and Recovery with Dr. Robert Silverman In this special look-back episode, we’re revisiting Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Robert Silverman on the systems and strategies that shape long-term health, resilience, and performance. If Part 1 focused on the bigger picture of health span, inflammation, immune resilience, and the hallmarks of aging, Part 2 moves into the practical side of the conversation. Dr. Silverman digs deeper into the role of gut health, mitochondrial support, muscle preservation, lifestyle intervention, and recovery-focused strategies that can help clinicians better support patients navigating chronic inflammation, fatigue, reduced resilience, and age-related decline. In this episode, we explore why the gut remains central to immune function and recovery, how loss of muscle mass affects longevity and vitality, and why simple foundational strategies — including nutrition, lifestyle habits, and systems-based clinical thinking — still matter far more than most people realize. This is a valuable revisit for providers who want to think beyond symptom management and better understand the practical levers that support healthier aging and stronger long-term outcomes. Key Themes in Today’s Episode: The role of gut health and dysbiosis in immune function, inflammation, and recovery Why muscle preservation matters for health span and long-term vitality Lifestyle and nutrition strategies that support resilience, recovery, and better aging outcomes Dr. Silverman’s 7R framework for supporting gut health 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: Learn more about the Functional Nutrition Certification Program here . 🎙️ SUPPORT THE SHOW: Visit our website at faktrpodcast.com to leave a review or co…
