Muscle Is Your Metabolic Powerhouse

The more muscle you have, the more calories you burn at rest. Muscle improves your blood sugar, boosts insulin sensitivity, and fuels your mitochondria. It protects against chronic disease, slows aging, and keeps you strong, balanced, and independent as you age.

A recent study found that low muscle mass is linked to a higher risk of metabolic dysfunction, even in people with a normal BMI. In other words, you can look “healthy” on the outside while silently struggling on the inside. Muscle protects you from that.

And did you know that losing muscle as you age is preventable? With the right strength training and adequate protein, you can build and maintain it for life.

Just 2–3 strength workouts a week (paired with high-quality protein) can change everything.

I love to finish my workouts with a grass-fed goat whey smoothie and berries, full of antioxidants and minerals that help me recover and gain strength.
