Muscle isn’t just about strength—it’s about longevity, metabolic health, and even immune function. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to uncover the critical role that skeletal muscle plays in our overall health. We dive deep into muscle as an endocrine organ, its role in fighting insulin resistance, and why sedentary lifestyles are wreaking havoc on our bodies. From understanding how to build muscle effectively at any age to learning why muscle mass is the key to metabolic health, this conversation will change the way you think about strength training. In this episode, we discuss: Exactly how much protein we need to eat every day The differences between plant and animal proteins The impact of resistance training The metabolic benefits of muscle Why you should spread your protein intake evenly throughout the day How sedentary behavior and insufficient protein intake can lead to muscle loss, insulin resistance, and metabolic disorders View Show Notes From This Episode Get Free Weekly Health Tips from Dr. Hyman Sign Up for Dr. Hyman’s Weekly Longevity Journal This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Beekeepers Naturals, Thrive Market, and Fatty15.
