Muscle isn’t just about strength—it’s about longevity, metabolic
health, and even immune function. In this episode, I sit down with
Dr. Gabrielle Lyon to uncover the critical role that skeletal
muscle plays in our overall health. We dive deep into muscle as an
endocrine organ, its role in fighting insulin resistance, and why
sedentary lifestyles are wreaking havoc on our bodies. From
