141. The Top Predictor of Longevity and Chronic Disease and One Major Way to Improve Your Metabolism

Hey Friend,

Believe it or not, research has found that the top predictor of longevity and your propensity to chronic disease is the amount of skeletal muscle you have.   I am doing this episode, one because I think the info is SUPER important for creating sustainable life long health, but also because I’m trying to amp myself up to get more consistent with my muscle building workouts.   About a year ago I threw out my back to where I was in my bed for days and had to have friends come watch my boys. I’ll share more about how that’s progressed in the episode, but long story short, I’m in a place to finally start focusing on the kind of workouts I love - the kind that BUILD muscle.   If you’ve never considered intentionally trying to build muscle, I’d LOVE for you to listen in. And if you already know the benefits or you kind of know it's a good thing, but haven't actively started building muscle, by the end of this episode, you'll learn how greatly beneficial skeletal muscle is for your long term health AND you'll have a few SIMPLE first steps to get you going.   Enjoy!
