Summary
This study tested whether a 12-week program combining supervised resistance training and nutritional guidance is feasible for improving brain, metabolic, and behavioral health. Nineteen adults participated, completing assessments like body scans, blood tests, and brain imaging. The goal was to see if people would stick with the program and if it could be run smoothly, not to prove it works.
