Strong for Life

Muscle, movement and strength across life, from gym youth to older adults – Muscle isn’t just for the gym, it’s the foundation of healthy aging

Is age related muscle loss, strength and function a common concern in your practice or is the rising interest in Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) medications, like Ozempic and Wegovy or perimenopause a hotspot with an increase in loss of muscle mass and bone density?   

Our nutrition hub provides practical resources to help support health and development across the life stages. Including the recommended serves of nutritious dairy foods as part of a balanced dietary pattern helps support muscle repair and maintenance (and better yet – without the need for expensive supplements). 

Dairy health and nutrition resources

In your practice, dietary related questions are no doubt commonly asked by your clients and patients about a range of health and nutrition topics. Our team of Accredited Practising Dietitians (APDs) have developed a suite of evidence-based health professional resources to read, download and share freely on the role of dairy for specific health needs.
