How can one organ improve your longevity, brain health, and metabolism?

You’ve heard me say, as your body moves, your brain grooves. Exercise helps maintain a healthy brain by building healthy muscles. That’s because muscle health is about so much more than strength and fitness. As the body’s largest endocrine organ, muscle actually determines everything about the trajectory of health and aging.

Our guest today is leading a movement centered on skeletal muscle health as a fundamental cornerstone for longevity. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon addresses widespread issues like obesity, heart disease, and diabetes through improved muscle health. She is the author of the bestselling book, Forever Strong: A New, Science-Based Strategy for Aging Well.

The truth is that the stronger you are, the greater your survivability. It’s not about how big your muscles are or even if you have too much fat. The key is having healthy and properly developed muscles. Listen in as Dr. Lyon dives deep into the revolutionary science that proves muscles are the ultimate game changer for longevity, metabolism, and overall body-brain wellness.
