In this Quick & Dirty episode, I’m diving into why muscle isn’t just helpful — it’s absolutely essential for your health. You literally cannot fix your metabolism, your hormones, or your long-term health without it, and I’ll explain exactly why this is the hill I’m willing to die on. Muscle is finally getting the attention it deserves, so let’s talk about why it matters, what it actually does for your body, and which muscle groups I want you to focus on.
Topics Discussed:
The obsession with being “skinny”
Muscle and insulin sensitivity
Muscle’s role in metabolic health
How strength training reduces risk of diabetes
