In this episode, I discuss the essential role of skeletal muscle in
health and performance. I explain what skeletal muscle is made of,
how it works, and its role as an integral organ system for physical
and mental health. I explain how to focus on skeletal muscle
quantity (total muscle) and muscle quality (functionality, speed,
power, strength) to ensure you function and perform at the highest
levels. I explain the difference between slow- and fast-twitch
muscle fibers and why skeletal muscle is uniquely adaptable to
exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle factors. I also explain why
resistance training becomes increasingly critical for healthy aging
and disease prevention. I explain how to use the "Three Is" of
investigate, interpret, and intervene to determine if you have
enough muscle, if it's functioning well, and protocols to improve
muscle quality and quantity. Listeners of this episode will
understand why skeletal muscle is so essential to care for and how
to enhance muscle quantity and quality to optimize physiology,
performance, and longevity. Access the full show notes for this
