Muscle = Health: Why Building Muscle is Key & How to Optimize It with Nutrition
In this week's podcast episode, I sit down with Dr. Allan Bacon to dive deep into nutrition and training strategies for optimizing muscle growth. We discuss why building muscle isn’t just about aesthetics—it plays a critical role in metabolic health, chronic disease prevention, and longevity. We break down key nutrition strategies for maximizing muscle gain, the importance of progressive overload in training, and why strength training is essential at any age—whether you’re 20 and want to get jacked or 80 and want to stay mobile and strong. Plus, we debunk common fitness myths, talk about the role of protein, calories, and macronutrient timing, and explore why building muscle makes fat loss easier in the long run. If you want actionable tips to build strength, improve body composition, and set yourself up for long-term health, this episode is packed with value.
