#11: Scott and Warren welcome back Greg Tranah, PhD, epidemiologist and Professor of Healthy Aging, for a deep, practical conversation on one of the most powerful predictors of longevity: muscle strength—and why it matters far beyond aesthetics.
Dr. Tranah breaks down what epidemiology really tells us about aging, disease risk, and healthspan, and why translating science into action is essential. We explore how strength training supports brain health, bone density, independence, and overall resilience—and why cardio and strength aren’t opposing forces, but complementary ones.
In this episode, we explore:
- What epidemiologists study—and why their findings matter for everyday health
- Why muscle strength is one of the strongest predictors of longevity and independence
- How resistance training supports brain health through neurotropic factors
- The science of “unhealthy muscle,” fat infiltration, and inflammation
- Why women benefit enormously from strength training (without “bulking up”)
- How muscle, bone density, and balance work together as we age
- Cardio vs. strength: why the best outcomes come from doing both
