Muscle mass is essential for maintaining a healthy weight, but it is also a key factor in metabolic health, reducing the risk of chronic disease, and in improving our healthspan and longevity. While muscle requires consuming the right amount of protein for your body, weight-bearing exercises, as a part of strength training routine, are also an important ingredient for building skeletal muscle.

In today’s episode, I talk with Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Sara Gottfried, and Dr. Todd LePine about the many benefits of muscle and why strength training is non-negotiable.
