Conditions Treated
Collagen & Muscle Loss
Sarcopenia, skin laxity, and connective tissue decline — rebuilding structural integrity through targeted functional medicine protocols.
Understanding the Condition
What Is Collagen & Muscle Loss?
Collagen and muscle loss are hallmarks of biological aging, but they are not inevitable. Sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) and declining collagen production accelerate after age 35 and are driven by hormonal decline, nutritional deficiencies, chronic inflammation, and sedentary lifestyle.
Consequences include loss of strength and mobility, increased injury risk, sagging skin, joint pain, and metabolic slowdown. Functional medicine addresses the hormonal, nutritional, and inflammatory drivers — not just exercise recommendations.

Root Cause Medicine, Not Just Symptom Management
Collagen and muscle loss are driven by a convergence of hormonal decline (testosterone, growth hormone, estrogen), chronic inflammation, nutritional deficiencies (vitamin C, zinc, protein), and mitochondrial dysfunction. These factors interact to impair the body's ability to synthesize and maintain structural proteins. Dr. Green addresses all of these drivers simultaneously — not just recommending protein shakes.

Give Your Body What It Needs to Thrive
Nutrition and supplements are about more than simply taking a daily vitamin. Your body needs the right nutrients, in the right amounts, to support energy, metabolism, hormones, immune function, and overall health. The challenge is knowing what your body actually needs.
At Viata Medical, we look beyond a basic supplement list. By evaluating your nutrition status, genetics, and laboratory results, we can identify areas where your body may need additional support. Your genetics can give us insight into your body's unique nutritional needs, while your current labs and nutritional status help us understand what your body needs right now. We then combine this information to create a personalized nutrition and supplement plan designed to support your health, wellness, and longevity.
