Hey, Heal Squad! If you've been hearing everyone talk about building muscle but never really understood why it's so important, this is the episode you've been waiting for.

It turns out muscle isn't just about looking toned or getting stronger ...it's one of the most powerful organs for protecting your brain, supporting your metabolism, regulating blood sugar, and helping you stay healthy as you age. Dr. Lyon breaks down the fascinating connection between muscle and brain health, why brain fog and low energy may all be connected to muscle loss, and why simply building muscles are one of the best things you can do for your long-term health.
