How Muscle Promotes Energy, Regulates Our Metabolism, And Prevents Disease

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, ButcherBox, and
Comvita. As you lose muscle, you lose mitochondria and your
metabolism slows down. Then there is the fact that the natural loss
of muscle mass and strength as we age is associated with all-cause
mortality and linked to the incidence of many chronic diseases like
cardiovascular disease and stroke, hypertension, insulin
resistance, and type 2 diabetes. This is why muscle mass is not
only essential for maintaining a healthy weight, but it’s also a
key factor in reducing the risk of chronic disease and improving
your healthspan and longevity.  In this episode, I speak with
Drs. Stuart Phillips and Chris Rinsch, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, and Mark
Sisson about the importance of supporting our body’s largest organ,
muscle. Dr. Chris Rinsch is co-founder and CEO at Amazentis where
he oversees the company’s operations in Switzerland. For more than
two decades, he has been an innovator in the life sciences
arena.    Dr. Stuart Phillips is a Professor in the
Department of Kinesiology and a member of the School of Medicine at
McMaster University. He is Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Skeletal
Muscle Health. He is also the Director of the McMaster University
Physical Activity Centre of Excellence.    Dr. Gabrielle
Lyon is an integrative physician who completed her fellowship in
Nutritional Sciences and Geriatrics at Washington University, St.
Louis. She is board-certified in Family Medicine and completed her
undergraduate work in Human Nutrition Vitamin and Mineral
Metabolism.  Mark Sisson is the founder of the popular daily
health blog, Mark’s Daily Apple, godfather to the Primal food and
lifestyle movement, and the New York Times bestselling author of
The Keto Reset Diet. His latest book is Keto for Life, where he
discusses how he combines the keto diet with a Primal lifestyle for
optimal health and longevity. Mark is the author of numerous other
books as well, including The Primal Blueprint. This episode is
