QUOTES

  • "I think the quality of your life will be better if you're able to maintain your muscles into your 70s and 80s and beyond. And also by having muscle, you're more insulin sensitive. It helps you manage glucose better and manage your sugar better." - Dr. Wade Fisher
  • “There's just a different value to life by any means, but just as somebody who values being able to perform athletically well into, you know, past your kid and young adult years. It's just, it's important to have that.” - Adam Lamb
  • "Visceral fat is definitely considered to be the more dangerous, but in general, the less fat you have, the better off you are, the less inflammatory you are." - Dr. Wade Fisher
