Dr. Steven R. Goldstein MD He is regarded as one of the nation’s top doctors in gynecology, a Certified Menopause Practitioner, Past President, North American Menopause Society and Recipient of the Thomas A. Clarkson award for many outstanding contributions to menopause related clinical or basic science research. Dr Goldstein is a menopause specialist in NYC and writes about muscle wasting, or “sarcopenia”? This is the wasting of muscle that is seen in elderly patients. It can begin as early as age 40. It can become extremely pronounced in women in their 60’s. And as women approach their 80’s and beyond, it is increasingly recognized as a major impediment to continued health and well-being. It is a major component of “frailty.” Sarcopenia and its loss of muscle can be just as devastating to the elderly as loss of bone. Resistive exercises are important. Walking, biking and cardiovascular machines are good for you but do not build muscle mass. Only resistive exercises and strength training can do so. Adequate protein in one’s diet is crucial. An adult female who weighs 150 pounds should be eating approximately 81 grams of protein per day. Foods that are relatively high in protein include (believe it or not) peanut butter, for which two table spoons have 8 grams of protein; one cup of non-fat milk, 8.8 grams; two medium eggs, 11.4 grams; one chicken drum stick, 12.2 grams; one half cup of cottage cheese, 15 grams; and 3 ounces of flounder or turkey, 25 grams. Dr Steven R Goldstein MD is the best menopause specialist in NYC who can evaluate female patients who are either in menopause or are post-menopausal.
