Whether you're managing joint pain on the pickleball court, staying active as you age or just trying to stay strong between TV episodes, Barrett A. Little, MD, has the answers on how to keep your muscles strong and active at any stage of life that you’re in, including movement, nutrition, supplements and proactive care.

He has more than 15 years of experience treating athletes of all ages, specializing in shoulder and knee arthroscopy, joint and fracture care, and general sports orthopedics. He also serves as the team physician for Winthrop University Athletics.
On this episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast, Little sits down with The Ledger’s Lindsey Banks to discuss:
How important daily activity is for keeping muscles strong.
Nutritional advice for muscle health, and if protein powders are effective.
The difference between normal aging and needing to see a doctor.
