Hello, this is Karen Nickel family nurse practitioner

and you are listening to Itchy and Bitchie a

podcast that provides answers to your many unanswered health questions. Have you ever

heard the medical term sarcopenia?

If this word is unfamiliar to you or only slightly familiar to you,

stay tuned because that's what I'll be talking about today. But first I want to remind you
